Pokémon manga (Japanese: 漫画 manga), unlike the Pokémon anime, does not actually refer to one specific manga or one particular piece of Pokémon canon but, rather, an entire subcategory of comics and graphic novels written with their own storylines and interpretations of the Pokémon world. These frequently have no connection to one another beyond their medium.

Many Pokémon manga are never translated into English, likely due to manga featuring more traditional aspects in Japanese culture. Additionally, some series contain scenarios and artwork considered inappropriate for Western audiences. Sometimes, the artwork is cleaned up for foreign publishing, as was the case with The Electric Tale of Pikachu, but some Japanese publishers prefer not to have the artwork changed.
