Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Pocket Monsters: The Animation is a Japan-only two-installment series of Light Novels based on Pokémon: The Series, authored by Takeshi Shudō (the original chief writer for the anime, who left during the Johto League). It expands a lot on background details not mentioned or alluded to in the series proper. Many aspects of it have since been contradicted by later seasons of the anime, which leaves its canonical status invalid.The first, entitled Departure, was released in 1997, and focuses on the beginning of Ash's journey, including some background to his character. The second, entitled Friendnote The actual Japanese title is Nakama, which can be variously translated as "friend," "comrade," et cetera, was released in 1999, and focuses on his battles in Pewter, Cerulean and Vermillion.The books were never released in English, but fan translations can be found here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Adaptation Explanation Extrication: There is an inverted case, where the end of Volume 1 makes a lot more sense than the anime's Episode 4. Instead of the Samurai distracting Ash and blaming him for the Weedle's escape, his equivalent just catches it himself and the Beedrill swarm is just a coincidence. Pidgeotto exits the battle because it's scared of Pinsir instead of inexplicably fainting, and Ash doesn't even try to return Metapod to its ball when the Beedrill attack, making the disaster actually his fault.

Adaptation Dye-Job: Misty's and her sisters having wildly different hair colors is explained by her siblings wearing wigs. They're all naturally black haired. In the anime, it's just their hair.
