So I skipped Volumes 3-8...

Smell ya later!
Borders didn't have volume 3-8, leaving me with 1, 2, 9, and 10. And my parents hate it when I use the internet to buy stuff. So I'm wondering, did I miss out on anything important in Volume 8 that I should know for 9 and 10? I feel like I just came in the middle of things and it's pretty confusing.

Thanks.

Silence is Purple
You missed Red winning the Pokemon league.
And Yellow's adventure to find Red three years later.
And many events within the volumes.
So, yes, you did.

Volume 8 is the first volume of the GSC series, so you missed Gold and Silver being introduced, which is why Volume 9-10 may feel confusing.

You can always read the summaries for the chapters in volume 8 here if you want to get caught up.

That's kind of odd, they must have ran out. But if they did then they should restock them here soon, so I'd recommend checking your local Borders again soon since they should get more at some point. That or request them from Borders, since you aren't allowed to buy stuff from the internet.

And yes you did. You missed the introduction of Gold and Silver and the start of the entire GSC arc in volume 8. And while that may be the only thing you feel left out on for now, I'd definitely recommend getting volumes 3-7 soon too since you'll also need to have knowledge of the those volumes later on in GSC as well. GSC not only focuses on Gold, Silver and Crystal but also has characters from the first seven volumes (Red, Blue, Green and Yellow) tied into the story as well.

Hope that helps.

Oh that was a clever thing to recommend! Kudos for trying to help him. :)

Technically he only asked from he missed from volume 8, not volumes 3-8, but those things too. :p And hey, don't you mean the RBG arc (not RB) and GSC arc (not GS)? Those arcs are known as Red/Blue/Green and Gold/Silver/Crystal since those are not only the games they are connected to but every character with those names are in those respective arcs as well. Don't let Viz's lack of title on volumes 1-3 and mislabel of "Gold and Silver" on volumes 8-15 fool you. XP

Matter of opinion. Those volumes are good and are all important for the story, but I don't think they are the best volumes. But again, that's just my matter of opinion, and I'm not trying to pass it off as fact. :p

Pretty much everything everyone else has said. Though I hope you can find the volumes. My Borders doesn't have many Pokemon Special/Adventures volumes either they use to though. If you have one near by you could try Barnes and Noble as they have many volumes in stock and several copies of them as well. I've been to three Barnes and Noble and they have lots of them in stock.
