Description
Yes, ANOTHER Pokemon fanart, god what is wrong with me.BUT, this is different. This one's in tribute to the incredibly awesome manga series Pokemon Adventures (Pocket Monsters Special in Japan). Seriously, even people who aren't incredibly enveloped in Pokemon can enjoy the art and storytelling the creative duo behind this series brought. The original creator and the game's producer both felt like this was "the comic that most resembles the world I was trying to convey!" and they want "every Pokemon fan to read this comic!". The first seven graphic novels were released, they're a bit hard to find but worth every cent if you can track 'em down.
So pictured here NOT, in fact Ash, Gary and a couple random people. These characters are Red the hero with a bit of a better head on his shoulders than Ketchum, Blue (Green in Japan) the cool-headed rival who's much less of a braggart than Gary Oak, Yellow the amarillo caballero who can understand Pokemons' thoughts and Green (Blue in Japan) the only spicey lil' bitchosaurus who can get anyone in Kanto to believe a bold-faced lie (best character ever). I love all of these characters and the story they go through. I wish the later volumes based on the following generations were released here, one can always dream.
So for this one I wasn't sure if I was gonna include any other Pokemon, but once I added Pikachu to Yellow's back in place of a Pokeball like the others were holding, I figured why not give 'em their appropriate starter? I tried to stay true to their designs but take a few liberties as per the usual. I made sure to keep their corresponding color schemes and line them up with the background as well. For skin tones I tried to get creative. Usually with anime characters I, admittedly, go with a bit of a yellower tone since most of them time the characters are Japanese. However, Blue looks and seems like she could be American, so I peached her out a bit and Yellow I gave a slight tan to since she's supposed to be a caballero. The one thing that I couldn't get down was Blue's arm holding up the Pokeball up front. I tried a few different positions and settled on that one but it still looks weird. Ah well.
Anyway, any comments would be appreciated. Be sure to check this comic out if you get the oppourtunity.

It's also known as "illegal" and "unsupportive of the artists and writers you like so much."

because I'm obviously going to exorbitantly spend my time and money I use for rent, food, school, and internet to go out and buy mangas that probably haven't even been in production for the past 5-10 years.
White-knighting ain't in my budget, no way, no how.

Regardless, it's completely irrevelant and inappropriate to be talking about here. I don't understand the point of you posting a comment on a piece of artwork I did simply to promote piracy. Take it elsewhere, in the future I'll be removing posts like this.

By that standard, companies like EA and Sony are promoting piracy simply by saying "We're cracking down on piracy, which is the act of downloading free torrented copies of our games."
Promoting =/= acknowledging it's existence.

Regardless, it's still irrelevant. There was no point in you commenting on my submission simply for the sake of saying you can download the comic it was based on. In the future, if you're going to post on my (or ANY submission for that matter) you can at least have the decency to make a comment on the actual content in the first place.

Yay! Awesome! There really should be more fanart of this. I totally love this series. Everything great about Pokemon is packed into it with loveable characters and a beyond awesome storyline.
Onemanga.com though has at least made it to the Jhoto region with scanlations. And last I checked Viz has Pokemon Adventures back on the shelves again at regular bookstores So at least there's some hope to get the other generation arcs released here.

BECAUSE IT'S IRONY also Green's has the advantage over Red's just like in the game.
Also I noticed in the TV show Ash was always in the "Green Box" during big tournament matches and shit.

Damn. This is amazing. o_o
Personally I think Red would make a better main character than Ash. Green was badass and a bit more serious than Gary was. Blue sure was a bitch, but she still kicked ass. And Yellow is freaking adorable. I love all of her little quirks. >w<
Keep up the good work, dude; I love your style~

I'm assuming that is at the Yellow arc, since at the Diamond/Pearl/Platinum arc, (using Jap name) Blue is 17 and Yellow is 14. Not to mention you forgot Yellow has the ability to heal Pokemon.
I think it's a good piece of art, anyways!

The character designs look close to their originals, except that Red's and Yellow's skin color seem a bit out their, even for their heritage, other than that, I don't see any problems with it, great job Kirb.

The mangas are way better than the anime. I hate Ash and Gary. Red and Green are way cooler.
