Can reading Pokémon manga help understand the lore and mechanics of the Pokémon games better?

Yes, reading certain Pokémon manga, especially those closely following the game plots like 'Pokémon Adventures,' can offer a deeper insight into the lore and mechanics of the Pokémon games. The manga often elaborates on in-game events, character motivations, and the relationships between Pokémon and trainers in ways that the games, due to their format, might not fully convey. It can provide a different perspective on the Pokémon world.
