Pocket Monsters Film Comic (Japanese: ポケットモンスター アニメ版 Pocket Monster Animation Version) is a series of manga based on the Pokémon anime. Each volume of Pocket Monsters Film Comic adapts about several episodes of the anime into comic form, with each episode corresponding to a single chapter. The volumes also include extra content such as maps, Pokédex entries and character biographies.
Distribution
In Japan, the manga was published in volumes by Tentoumushi Comics, a Shogakukan imprint.
In English, the first subseries of this manga was serialized in English in the six-issue Pokémon Power magazine. The six chapters serialized in the magazine were collected in the English volume Pokémon TV Animation Comic - I Choose You!, published by VIZ Media. The Gold and Silver subseries was serialized in Nintendo Power starting in the November 2000 issue, although unlike the first subseries, these translations have not been published in volumes.
The series was translated to Cantonese in Hong Kong by Viz Communications China (H.K.) Ltd.
The series was also translated and released in South Korea, titled 애니코믹스 포켓몬스터, published by 대원씨아이 Daewon C.I.. All volumes of the original and Orange Islands series, and at least the first 23 volumes of the Gold & Silver volumes were released.
