This spring, a new Pokémon manga debuted. There have been Pokémon manga before, but nothing like this. Title Poké Reburst, this manga features humans changing into Pocket Monsters.

It's supposed to be a more mature take on Pocket Monsters and features a main character named Ryouga, who hails from a town where people live with Pokémon. Characters can change into Pokémon, as evident by the above manga scan, which reads, "...into Zekrom." Zekrom is the mascot for Pokémon White, the most recent Pocket Monsters game.

Pokémon fans are following the manga's development closely. But, what's more starting than this more adult spin on Pokémon is the fan that this took three years to plan and create. Isn't three years in the making a little...long?

As one Japanese netizen stated today, "Why do Japanese people always have to brag how long things take?"[/p]

Yeah... no. Reminds me of those seasons of Digimon where the tamers transformed into Digimon.
Hopefully they make the best of it if they're truly going for a "more adult spin".

This could be cool. I wonder if it'll involve some kind of mutagen and grotesque transformation scenes like the parasite eve games. And redesigns too.

This could be rattatta evolving into raticade: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNL8b6Sm3SE
That is kind of badass. I'd love to see a seinen pokemon manga.

People transform into Pokémon? Well, I suppose this is good news in a way. Lots of people online seem to fancy the pants off Gardevoir.

I'm personally glad for this. Now Pokemon will hopefully become an anime series instead of a cartoon (I'm not calling it not-anime, I'm calling it childish)...

They're not going to turn this into an anime. I mean, the original manga (Pokemon Special) was great and mature, but they did not adapt that and instead went to their own story.

I've read the first chapter and this is nothing special. The art is mediocre and so is the story, it's nothing more than your average shounen manga but with Pokemon in it :/

Edit: I'm really surprised people are only hearing about this now, this has been out for a while now...


You can read the first chapter here (legally).

Since black & white version I think Gamefreak & Nintendo finally found out what they were doing wrong:

Pokémon must be aimed for those once were young people which now are adults.

pretty sure it's a spin-off, and only in manga form, there's nothing to do with the main series, at least that's what i think.

    @Xdqwerty, Its funny because crypto cannot be recovered, just another one of those Nigerian scams that ask you for a Google Play giftcard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBs0AG_MN3g

    @SylverReZ, why are most scams from mid-east countries?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I've reported the domain directly to their registrar so that they can take action. ;)

    @Xdqwerty, To be fair, I have no idea.

    Likely because they are not as economic compared to us.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, so their only way of getting money is thru scams?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Exactly.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Why not they just mine Monero instead of scamming vulnerable people? If they have a decent machine they can hit a jackpot at any given time.

    Bitcoin on the other hand, requires a very powerful mining rig and is more costly.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, different cultures so probably they have their reasons
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yes a $2,000 rig for $5 a day
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Or could be in correlation to laws.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Technically, cryptocurrencies aren't illegal, as long as you don't use it for criminal activity. If you sign up with an exchange, and that they get a tip from law enforcement, they have the right to freeze your assets.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, Yea I heard law is vastly different there
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Nigeria's central bank did make crypto illegal before, until last year they lifted the ban. Always make sure to check before you exchange. ;)

    @SylverReZ, speaking of crypto i remember reading about a guy who spend like 10 grand bitcoin on a couple pizzas (when bitcoin wasnt as worthy as nowadays)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's mental. If he had saved up when Bitcoin sky-rocketed in price, then he might've become the next Jeff Bezos for all I know.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, he couldnt know the price was gonna skyrocket anyway
