* [[DarkIsNotEvil Psychics Are Not Evil]]: This manga quite possibly has the kindest version of Sabrina, to the point of borderlining {{Moe}}.

** After Misty saves Satoshi from drowning, [[RescueRomance Satoshi seems to crush on Misty]].
** On the HoYay side, there's when [[spoiler:Satoshi and Shigeru become friends and go to fight Mewtwo]].

* AdaptationalNameChange: "Red" and "Ookido Green" are called "Satoshi" and "Ookido Shigeru". Zig-zagged because early in ''Gold and Silver'''s development, those ''were'' supposed to be their names.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Green is crueler than his game counterpart.

* AdaptationalNameChange: "Red" and "Ookido Green" are called "Satoshi" and "Ookido Shigeru".

Some info is even taken from the [[AllThereInTheManual manuals]].

A one volume manga based off of ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pokémon Red and Green]]'' released in April of 1998.

* AndTheAdventureContinues: [[spoiler: The story ends with Satoshi and Shigeru heading off to fight Mewtwo.]]
* AuthorAppeal: The omake above depicts Satoshi with a Poliwhirl, yet [[CoversAlwaysLie he never actually catches one in the story.]] Poliwhirl just happens to be the favorite Pokémon of Satoshi Tajiri, creator of the ''{{Pokemon}}'' franchise.

* CoolBigSis: Daisy, though not to the degree of her ''Manga/PokemonSpecial'' version. Arguably an OneeSama.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: "Zensho" roughly translates to "good book", "complete book" or "complete set". It's an one volume manga about ''{{Pokemon}}'' that holds a complete story.

** TookALevelInKindness: In the last few pages, after [[spoiler:Satoshi saves him from being crushed by a falling pillar.]]

Some of Satoshi's first lines are paraphrased from the manual of Red and Blue.

* WalkingShirtlessScene: Brock.

* {{Expy}}: Accidentally Satoshi to [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Ash]]. They both have Pikachu, both have Charizard, and both have had Lapras. [[NamesTheSame They also have the same exact name in Japan]], often do not even beat gym leaders yet win, and when his hat is removed Satoshi looks exactly like Ash without his birthmarks. [[note]]This is because Satoshi and Ash are both based off of the main playable trainer in Gen I, later to be known as Red.[[/note]] Scenes even parallel to the anime at times. For example, Ash got a badge from Erika by helping her during a fire. Satoshi got a badge from her by helping her when his Charmeleon accidentally ''[[NiceJobBreakingItHero set her kimono on fire]]''.
