Manga on this web-site are labelled "lost" if I haven't found scans online or evidence of official sale. Some may be easily
available for purchase second-hand, may have scans I didn't find, or may be sitting in thousands of people's
garages but never got scanned. Over time we'll find out if any are truly lost.
I don't currently list 4koma, but I will in the future.
Many manga are found on jb2448.info via the wayback machine. This was a web-site with a large collection of pokémanga, but it went down and the domain now belongs to someone else. It seems that almost every manga from their collection was saved, in full size, by the wayback machine, but I haven't checked every individual image. If you're going through one of the manga I've linked and find anything missing, let me know.
Most of the lost manga come from this page, which details Pokémon manga released in CoroCoro and the Shogakukan Learning Magazines. The information there can be corroborated here, here, and/or here, though I've only done so when I was confused about something, eg; when there appeared to be an obvious typo, so it's possible some dates are off. If you're trying to buy something specific second-hand, please triple check that you know what you're getting.
Download the list as a json here. Filetype is .js for simplicity (don't have to use fetch). If you don't know what any of that means, don't worry about it. The file contains the entire list of manga and sources in a format that's easy to use for programming, but it's also human-readable. You can download the file, change the extension to .txt, and open it in notepad so you can preserve all this information for yourself.
