Best Pokemon adaptations?

[CM30]

As you should probably know, Pokemon has been adapted into just about every medium known to man. It's got an anime that way too many people associate the series with in general, a trading card game that's seemingly become the biggest one of its kind ever, tons of comics and manga in just about every style possible... heck, I even remember hearing about a stage show loosely based on the series at this point!

So what adaptations are the best ones and why?

Pokemon Adventures manga hands down. Best manga I've ever read. I only read the Red, Green, and Blue chapter, but I started reading the Yellow chapter.

Anime.  Watching it brings back nostalgia.  Especially the first seasons before it became what is known as a "Franchise Zombie."

I have never once seen Brock open his eyes.

Pokemon Adventures for sure. I only ready up until Yellow saga and started Gold/Silver, but I didn't get far before forgetting about it. Maybe someday I'll return to it. It was great.

I'm going to have to agree with the Pokemon Adventures manga, it's awesome and more serious. I'm up to Yellow, definitely need to get back to it. I highly recommend reading at least the first couple of volumes.

And apparently Pokemon Origins is a great anime adaptation from what I have heard- I have yet to watch it yet though.

I still own the original Electric Tale of Pikachu series. It's loosely based on the Anime.

I particularly enjoyed the Manga's Orange League saga more though.?

Ask and you shall receive....

...even if you didn't really ask.

Pokemon Origins is pure nostalgia. It really brought a lot of fond memories playing my copy of Blue back in the day. Really recommend it.

O right.  The Togepi episode.

The anime has a trend of introducing pokemon 1 generation early.
