It took SEVEN YEARS to complete one “chapter”. Ugh.

Wait, this is kind of confusing; as I understand it the parts following it actually have been coming out, and yet this part took a long time to finish?

I must admit I'm very confused by this decision and how it will impact the "finished version" of the comic. I hope the series still is heavy on continuity and that hasn't been lessened due to it having to release out of order. ):

Even crazier is that in the same span of time, the XY, ORAS, and SM chapters came and went.

The series became a lot more anthology-based after finishing up the Gen III stuff. After that, the only attempts at branching out were spoiler[ the Johto Daycare Couple that sent Gold to rescue Jasmine giving Diamond an egg for Gen IV, Looker appearing in every Gen per usual, and Blue having a supporting role in the XY arc]. That's kinda my main gripe with Adventures at the moment; seeing the other Pokedex Holders interact with each other felt a lot more organic and added appeal to the manga that the games (the ones with Red notwithstanding) have never replicated.

To add to that. I wish it stayed continuous under one manga line: Pokemon Special. It got annoying when they split it up. But I guess overall. The manga world is caught up to the latest game releases?
