'''The Best of Pokémon Adventures''' is the title of two compilations of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}} released by [[VIZ Media]] in 2006. The books contain a sample of chapters from the first two story arcs. As a result of this abridging, many key events (including much of the [[Team Rocket]] storyline in the Red volume) are left out. This sometimes leads to references to events that are not included in the actual collection.

The Best of Pokémon Adventures: Red, the first volume in the series
The Best of Pokémon Adventures is the title of two compilations of the Pokémon Adventuresmanga released by VIZ Media in 2006. The books contain a sample of chapters from the first two story arcs.
Both volumes are based on VIZ Media's first edition of Pokémon Adventures and retain the flipped, left-to-right reading format of the original publication. The success of the compilation volumes resulted in VIZ Media re-releasing the entire series, including volumes based on games made after the initial run ended (starting with Gold and Silver after the second edition of the final Yellow volume was published), from volume one beginning in June 2009. For the new run of the manga, the format was reverted to the original Japanese right-to-left page order.
