In the early 2000s, Kim Đồng Publishing House previously released the first twelve volumes of Pokémon Adventures in Vietnamese, but the series was discontinued when the publisher's Japanese partner cancelled their contract. These volumes were published in a left-to-right format with reversed artwork; the new 2015 releases will retain their original right-to-left reading format. In late 2014, Kim Đồng Publishing House regained the rights to publish Pokémon Adventures in Vietnam. The new releases were originally projected for a January 2015 release, but numerous delays involving the co-ownership of the rights to the Pokémon franchise in Vietnam have pushed the release back to April. | In the early 2000s, Kim Đồng Publishing House previously released the first twelve volumes of Pokémon Adventures in Vietnamese, but the series was discontinued when the publisher's Japanese partner cancelled their contract.
