Pokemon ReBURST

Yeah! I heard about that. Looks interesting, not sure if I'm going to read that or not. The characters look a bit overdone from what I have seen, but I'm sure it can be a great series, I'll probably wait for some to come out, like, quite a bit, read up to where they stop and decide if I'd like to continue. It looks quite interesting, though.

I seriously don't know what they're aiming at with this manga -.-
I'm 14 and I read hundreds of mangas that vary in many genres, and I believe that Special is very Shounen on it's own rights.

It has a high emphasis on moral, friendship, and teamwork, a reckless male protagonist, some rather dark elements, and hints of potential romance. It has a combination of seriousness as well as light humor, and it doesn't ignore issues like death or destruction.

If you read deep enough, there's some pretty deep themes in the manga, like the interactions between humans and nature/Pokemon (RBG, Y, E, BW), the question whether goals really justify the means (Y, GSC, FRLG), does creating a utopia act as an excuse to commit genocide (Y, RS), etc.

To me (a teen), this manga provides less of an appeal than Special. But then again, I analyze literature all day, what do I know XD

You make a very good point about the themes in Special. I never noticed it before.

This is the most logical post I've seen on this forum.

I'm excited about this new manga, but it's an anxious excitement. I'm worried it's gonna try too hard to be "hardcore" and fail at it spectacularly.

You know...I really don't get where people are getting the "more mature/hardcore" thing from. No official materials have said that. At all. It's just random speculation based on the fact that...uh...I dunno, the art looks actiony?

Then again, the Pokemon fanbase constantly wants everything to be more mature even though the games/anime/etc are already at just the right level of maturity to be enjoyed by everyone, so what do I know?

I think it looks great, myself. Wonderful to hear that they're trying to move away from their "kiddy" image in the public's eyes.

The manga is still made for kids. Just slightly older kids.

And thats what teens and adults are. "Older kids." Just because your over 18 doesn't mean your an adult. Charlie Sheen for example. I know 8 yr olds more mature then him
