I will pick up the ORAS books, once they get released in bigger volumes. (assuming these are small like the first print of BW and currently XY is)

As for Pocket Comics, its not my thing. I got that free Magazine at Free Comic Book Day, and honestly, I did not think it was funny.

I bought XY vol1 and the quality of those mini volumes is atrocious. After reading it twice, the spine was creased and started to peel. This is coming from a guy who has OCD and keeps manga in bags so it's not like I was rough with it.

I'll wait until they release the normal volumes, they eventually did so with B/W. If they decide not to with X/Y then that's where I stop supporting the product.

I've known about this for months and this information is already up on Bulbapedia already so this is no news to me. From what I can tell is that unlike the mini-volumes in Japan for X/Y and Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, Viz is instead dividing them them up into two smaller books, which is why our mini-volumes are smaller than theirs (but also allows them to be sold more frequently). Anyway December is when Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire vol. 2 is coming out.

Additionally Black 2 and White 2's first volume is aimed for January and this will not be a mini-volume, this will be a regular volume.

Here is the verification for Black 2 and White 2: https://www.amazon.com/Pokémon-Adventures-Black-White-Pokemon/dp/1421584379/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1472654133&sr=8-1&keywords=pokemon+adventures+black+and+white+2

I'm always up for more Pokémon Adventures. I still need to get the regular volumes of BW though.

I'll be waiting until the regular volumes before I purchase them. Time to send my library a purchase request, however....

I might read them at a library or something, but I'll wait on purchasing them until the full size volumes come out. But it is good to see Adventures doing so well that they're willing to release mini volumes for the current sagas out.

On another note, I'd love to see Viz look into releasing more non-Pokemon Adventures mangas. I'd love a re-release of something like Electric Tale of Pikachu, or a never-before-released-in-the-US manga like Phantom Thief Pokemon 7 or something. It's not likely, but it would be nice.
