I really liked all the gem leaders except there's that one person who I think is shady and I think Clays shady does anyone else think that?

Entretenido, poco a poco va revelando más información sobre los propósitos del equipo plasma.

This was so refreshing to read along side chainsaw man, especially now that we’ve got a (semi) interesting plot and characters!

Plasma plot is getting heavier now. Good, quick read!

I must say I am a bit surprised. So far the series has not become boring or annoying and currently I can find no flaw with the art. The author and artist do seem to know what they are doing and reading, as well as looking (still a lot of clues and important details), is pretty enjoyable.
The only thing that is slightly annoying is the exposition shouted out by creepy Team Plasma, I think it should have been better as part of separate story that delves deeper into them. After all not every story has to be about Black. I say this because the last story in this volume, while being a good story on itself, doesn't fit into the overall narrative of the series. It seems to be a story totally apart from the others, better fitting into a volume of complete separate stories each, and so comes along as some sort of filler. Also considered its topic, a shapeshifting Pokemon combined with the topic of "beware the mysterious stranger" that you see in legends so often, I think it would be better in a special volume that delves into the general mystic aspects of the Pokemon world.

If you've already played Pokemon Black/White all the way through, you already know the storyline for this manga adaptation- almost right down to the dialogue. The Pokemon illustrations and the battle depictions are well-drawn though. No Pokemon fan should miss out :)
