It is really hard not to be biased when it comes to pokemon. I grew up with it, and it hits the nostalgia hard. I'll try to be bias free in the review.
The pokemon manga is a refreshing take on pokemon. For the most part, the story of pokemon for the first two generations was to collect 8 badges and complete the pokemon leauge. The story in the game was not there and relied on gameplay. This is an important factor since the manga is able to create it's own story with the assets presented.
The villains in the manga are the same characters you fight in the game. There is a loose backstory in the game for the characters; however, the manga gives the characters their own moral alignment and backstories. You can see why the characters turned out the way they did and how the events played out.
Aside from the characters, the manga is also more mature. It's a little weird to call it mature but there are serious world issues they discuss and also the idea of death is not avoided and it mentioned a few times.
Ultimately this side of pokemon that is present in the manga is the side I love about pokemon and can't wait to continue the series.
