This series looks like it’s taking a more realistic approach to pokemon. That machoke was vicious.

How the hell got a wild Machoke into the gym?! I can only think that it might be one of Giovanni's pokemon; he left it there on purpose in order to protect the gym from intruders, but still...

I liked when the pidgey took a shit in Oak's face =D

Glad I was able to find this physically unflipped.

Never played Gen 1 or its remakes and it's been a while since I played HGSS so this is only my second entry into Kanto lore.

Is Viridian town that close to Pallet Town? Showing Giovanni's gym already?

Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022

Red got a Bulbasaur. I bet the Machoke was a gurad or smt.

Machoke looks really awesome!
And I like how Red ain’t starting his adventure with Pikachu, but has Poliwhirl and now Bulbasaur on his side.

chapter 2 and already new pokemon, nice.

i feel the pace is fast, but maybe little too fast, he came for viridian city and lost chance to catch the pokemon between them.

but maybe the manga will surprise me, let's go next chp.

@Fortress_Maximus Yes, Viridian is actually the town next to Pallet and it does have Giovanni's gym in it. However, when playing the game, the first time you arrive here the gym is closed, kinda like what you see in the manga with it being abandoned but you cannot enter it in the game.

Kinda cool that Bulbasaur got its Solar Beam charged up by the sunlight... Feels like a prediction of later games, where if the weather is changed to sunny, Solar Beam can be fired right away instead of charging up for a whole turn.
