History of Pokemon Adventures: X&Y
Due to chapters taking at least two years before being collected into a volume, the X & Y chapter of Pokémon Adventures will be separately collected into mini-volumes.
The rounds included in these mini-volumes will only be ones that were published in the CoroCoro Ichiban magazine. Once the Black 2 & White 2 chapter ended in the regular volumes, the X & Y chapter started to be collected in that format as well. The first volume was released on April 28, 2014, which ended after six volumes with the final volume released on December 28, 2016.
These volumes where also localized in English by Shogakukan Asia and in European French by Kurokawa.
About VIZ Media
An English translation of the X & Y chapter was released by VIZ Media under the title Pokémon XY. Despite that the magazine version is also being released in mini-volumes in Japan, VIZ Media’s volumes are unique from these, and only contain about three or four rounds each, much like their previous Black & White chapter mini-volumes.
The series began its run on December 2, 2014, and officially ended after twelve volumes with the final volume released on October 3, 2017.
