In manga, an {{wp|omnibus edition}} is a volume release collecting multiple volumes or chapters which were originally released separately. Manga publishers release omnibus collections typically of older works, combining them in a bargain format and often collecting a particular story arc, although some omnibus releases cover an entire manga series. To date, the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga has been released in omnibus format in four different countries: in Japan, {{pmin|Singapore}}, {{pmin|France}} and {{pmin|Spain}}. ==List of Pokémon Adventures omnibus volumes== ===Japan=== ====2011 releases==== In 2011, a series of omnibus releases were announced in Japan, collecting the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}. The {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} was chosen due to its high popularity in Japan. These volumes were issued under [[Shogakukan]]'s "My First WIDE" brand. While [[My First Wide: Pocket Monsters Special Ruby Sapphire Chapter volume 1|Volume 1]] was released in March 2011, the other two planned volumes were cancelled and Volume 1 was quietly discontinued. This is believed to be due to the depictions of earthquakes and tsunami in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, which were deemed inappropriate following the {{wp|2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami}}.<ref>[http://pk-mn.com/n/pokemon-special-konbini-rs-my-first-big/ Pokémon Memo] (Japanese language) (retrieved October 10, 2014)</ref> {| align="center" style="background: #{{colorschemelight|Hoenn}}; border: 2px solid #{{colorschemedark|Hoenn}}; {{roundy|10px}}" |- !

Kurokawa's omnibus volumes contain all the adventure route maps from the original Japanese volumes, but lack the character introduction pages from the beginning of the volumes. {| align="center" style="background: #{{colorschemelight|Kanto}}; border: 2px solid #{{colorschemedark|Kanto}}; {{roundy|10px}}" |- !

Due to the length of the series (52 volumes at the time of announcing the license) and due to different story arcs often starting and ending partway through volumes, Norma Editorial has opted for an omnibus format, with 30 volumes expected so far. The volumes will have double numbering to accommodate fans who may wish to begin reading from a particular story arc. For example, the {{chap|Yellow}}, which will be published over two volumes, will be numbered as Yellow Volume 1 and Yellow Volume 2, and Volume 3 and Volume 4 of the series overall. The first volume to be released was {{tt|Pokémon Rojo, Verde y Azul volume 1|Pokémon Red, Green and Blue volume 1}} on October 29, 2015. For their first releases, Norma Editorial will be alternating between the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} and the {{chap|Black & White}}. ====Available volumes==== {| align="center" style="background: #2E83D2; border: 3px solid #81807A; {{roundy|10px}}" |- ! style="background: #6AA9E4; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Cover ! style="background: #6AA9E4;" | Volume ! style="background: #6AA9E4;" | Story arc volume ! style="background: #6AA9E4;" | Rounds included ! style="background: #6AA9E4;" | ISBN ! style="background: #6AA9E4;" | Release date |- style="background:#FFFFFF;" align="center" | [[File:Pokémon Adventures ES omnibus 1.png|120px|Volume 1]] | Volume 1 | Red, Green and Blue volume 1 | 1 - 20 | ISBN 8467921129 | October 29, 2015 |- style="background:#FFFFFF;" align="center" | [[File:Pokémon Adventures ES omnibus 2.png|120px|Volume 2]] | Volume 2 | Red, Green and Blue volume 2 | 21 - 40 | ISBN 8467922011 | January 22, 2016 |- style="background:#FFFFFF;" align="center" | [[File:Pokémon Adventures ES omnibus 3.png|120px|Volume 3]] | Volume 3 | Yellow volume 1 | 41 - 65 | ''Unknown'' | March 18, 2016 |- style="background:#FFFFFF;" align="center" | [[File:Pokémon Adventures ES omnibus 26.png|120px|Volume 26]] | Volume 26 | Black and White volume 1 | 461 - 475 | ISBN 8467921137 | December 4, 2015 |- style="background:#FFFFFF;" align="center" | [[File:Pokémon Adventures ES omnibus 27.png|120px|Volume 27]] | Volume 27 | Black and White volume 2 | 476 - 490 | ISBN 8467922042 | February 19, 2016 |} ====Future volumes==== {| style="background: #2E83D2; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; {{roundy}}; border: 3px solid #81807A" |- ! style="background: #6AA9E4; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Story arc ! style="background: #6AA9E4;"| Collected in volume #s |- style="background: #fff" | {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} | 1-2 |- style="background: #fff" | {{chap|Yellow}} | {{tt|3-4|Will also be numbered as Yellow volumes 1-2}} |- style="background: #fff" | {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} | {{tt|5-8|Will also be numbered as Gold, Silver & Crystal volumes 1-4}} |- style="background: #fff" | {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} | {{tt|9-12|Will also be numbered as Ruby & Sapphire volumes 1-4}} |- style="background: #fff" | {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} | {{tt|13-14|Will also be numbered as FireRed & LeafGreen volumes 1-2}} |- style="background: #fff" | {{chap|Emerald}} | {{tt|15-16|Will also be numbered as Emerald volumes 1-2}} |- style="background: #fff" | {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} | {{tt|17-21|Will also be numbered as Diamond & Pearl volumes 1-5}} |- style="background: #fff" | {{chap|Platinum}} | {{tt|22-23|Will also be numbered as Platinum volumes 1-2}} |- style="background: #fff" | {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} | {{tt|24-25|Will also be numbered as HeartGold & SoulSilver volumes 1-2}} |- style="background: #fff" | {{chap|Black & White}} | {{tt|26-30|Will also be numbered as Black & White volumes 1-5}} |} ==References== <references/> {{-}} {{Project Manga notice}} [[Category:Lists]] [[Category:Pokémon Adventures volumes|*]]
