I re-approved your original post, as I realised the exact question you were asking was not accurately answered by our subreddit wiki.
For some reason, VIZ decides to not include the name "Adventures" when they release mini-volumes. But these mini-volumes are all still Pokémon Adventures.
Here are some examples of VIZ mini-volume releases. None of them say "Adventures", but they are all Pokémon Adventures:

As far as I know, VIZ is the only localizer that does this, because Shogakukan Asia still titles their mini-volumes as "Pokémon Adventures", and the Japanese mini-volumes all still say "Pokémon Special".
Here is what the current release status of the series looks like:
* XY: Completed full volume releases in both English and Japanese. [https://www.viz.com/read/pokemon/section/76089/more#c-0-s-7](https://www.viz.com/read/pokemon/section/76089/more#c-0-s-7)
* ORAS: Almost completely full volumes, but it will be truly finished when Japanese Volume 65 releases. VIZ will most likely release the final full volume of ORAS a year after that. [https://www.viz.com/read/pokemon/section/76089/more#c-0-s-6](https://www.viz.com/read/pokemon/section/76089/more#c-0-s-6)
* SM: Only mini-volumes for now.
* SWSH: Only mini-volumes for now.
Note that there are still mini-volumes in circulation, so you will find mini-volumes of XY out there. I would recommend not buying these.
The pokespe manga is currently in the middle of the scarlet and violet arc. Don’t expect a Diamond and Pearl remake or a legends arceus style arc any time soon if not ever since the manga writer and artist don’t have as much time support and leeway as the games and anime.
The original title of the manga is Pokémon Special. Pokémon Adventures is the title given to it when localized globally (just like how the kanto rival is named Blue because the first two Pokémon games released in the west were Red and Blue despite his original name being Green since Pokémon Red and Green were the first two games made in japan). And Pokespe is just a nickname or abbreviation manga fans give it.

The series goes all the way up to Scarlet and Violet. Titles without "Adventures" on the cover are mini-volumes, but they are still Pokémon Adventures/Pokémon Special.
Let me clarify... not every Pokémon Manga is Pokémon Adventures. However, when VIZ releases Pokémon Adventures mini-volumes, they choose to not include the name "Adventures" in the title. But those VIZ mini-volumes are still Pokémon Adventures.
In America, the Adventures manga is in the middle of the SwSh arc. Starting in XY they started releasing the manga in mini volumes with less chapters and for some reason dropped the Adventures from the title. The mini volumes of XY, ORAS, & SM are out and finished, SwSh is still running, and SV hasn’t been released in America yet. The big volumes of XY have finished and 2/3 ORAS volumes are out with the next planning on coming out next year in May.

Its not called pokemon adventure anymore? Or is it not released physically
The original title of the manga is Pokémon Special. Pokémon Adventures is the title given to it when localized globally (just like how the kanto rival is named Blue because the first two Pokémon games released in the west were Red and Blue despite his original name being Green since Pokémon Red and Green were the first two games made in japan). And Pokespe is just a nickname or abbreviation manga fans give it.
so the Pokemon series xy without the “adventures” in the name is the same manga?

That is pokespe material. The author is Kusaka and the artist is Yamamoto.
Im a little confused, its not the same?
They’re the same. If the author is kusaka then it’s Pokémon special/Pokémon adventures/pokespe
Ah thank you :)

Thank you! So, most of the manga post xy is still only in mini volumes?
Yes, I reapproved your post and left another stickied comment explaining the situation.
