Publishing format

The 1998 logo of Viz Video with the red triangle next to the gold text. This can be seen in Pokémon VHS tapes and DVDs from 1998-2001.

In the past, VIZ Media published their manga left-to-right with reversed artwork. Pokémon titles which were published this way areThe Electric Tale of Pikachu,Magical Pokémon Journey, the first printing ofPokémon Adventures, andThe Best of Pokémon Adventures.

Some time after these series were published, the manga industry has shifted to publishing all manga in the original right-to-left format. Therefore, starting withPokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team, all of VIZ Media's Pokémon titles have been published right-to-left.

Since 2018, the main volumes forPokémon Adventures and a few other series have been given digital releases.

Monthly issues

In their early years, VIZ Media often published manga in American-style monthly issues before they were published in collected volumes. These issues would often include letters and fan artwork as bonus content.The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Pokémon Adventures, andMagical Pokémon Journey were published in this way.

As collected manga volumes have been accepted as the preferred format of manga releases and manga magazines (such asShonen Jump andYen Plus) have become more widespread in North America, VIZ Media and its competitors no longer publish these American-style monthly issues, with VIZ opting on digital releases to include the latest chapters from Japan, first with a digital version known asWeekly Shonen Jump until 2018, followed by access to the released chapters from certain selected series as part of a online membership program.
