Here is an (in)completed list of the summaries in Pokémon Special.

In Japan the 'episodes' are listed as rounds, and versus one Pokemon, it isn't always a match with a Pokemon, but it shows the star Pokemon. so if the round has to do with a Mewtwo it will be Round (number) Vs. Mewtwo. On with the summaries.
___
Round 1 Vs. Mew
Characters Introduced- Red, Green, Oak(mentioned), Team Rocket(not really known)
Pokémon Introduced- Nidorino, Poliwhirl, Charmander, Mew
Setting- Pallet Town
Summary- Red sets off on his Pokémon Journey before this airs, he is shown telling people how to catch a Pokémon. The kids that were trying to catch a Nidorino tells Red of Oak, and Red underestimates him. Ash wanders off into a little wood in search of Pokémon and spots Green who is fighting Mew with his Charmander. Re hides behind to trees watching the battle, then Green Retreats! Red complains on how Green was close to catching Mew and shows him how to do it, then Poliwhirl is knocked out immediately by Mew! Red us shocked and Green explains all this gibberish to Red. Then a group of Rocket Grunts rush over to Red and roars at him because of Mew. Then Red decides that he should go to Oak's Lab, as he thought he was the best trainer there is. Then this round ends with Red pressing the Doorbell.

It sure isn't. It's from the local publications. You can see this for yourself...

Hey seems like there's one new pokemon manga book series coming out. Judging from the art I don't think I will like it any better than special.

ooo, i have the pokemon special 5-15(jap)...16 is already out, but no sign of it in da bookstore. i want to scan it and make summaries, but its kinda hard to scan the japanese manga since its hard to bend back the pgs without damaging the comic. :\

wow, those books look...funny (on that webpage) but i gues tha graphics on the covers are cool. exactly like da japanese ones i tihnk. o-o; might be a LITTLE different.

That's great! but hmmm... Use a digital Camera and set it to text mode and you should be able to get the scans well.

It's translated. Just that it used to be translated together with some help of Viz. Now that they've stopped I think the local publisher has to do it all by themselves. Heard they were short of staff at around that time.

Now that I've added the summaries/essays to the website just click the website link in my signature to check it out!!!
I've done another round and am about to type it right away. I'm free for the rest of the day and if time permits I'll start on the character bios.

btw Chapter 98 on my website is translated. Although I'm bad at it.

I can do that, I'm ok with translating chinese(traditional), so provide me some scans and i''l be more accurate.

The only thing that I'm not sure about the translation is the attacks actually. Sadly, I won't be getting anymore Happy X2 Magazines since the store I got it from near the library has closed two months ago :( So it will only be two episodes that I'll translate.

Omega-Brendan
November 19th, 2003, 07:53 PM
Happy X2? in HK its called Happy Dragon

November 19th, 2003, 08:10 PM
Maybe, since there was this weird (skinny) dragon next to the title. I spotted some Japanese words there which sounded like "Coro Coro" *fishes out kanji list"

hmm... maybe we should make a pokemon special discussion thread and place just the summaries here... ^^ it gets off topic doesn't it?

^The website's now for that purpose too. I'll post them here if I cannot load it up to the website for the day.

i translate and summarize the japanese manga. i also have some korokoro rip outs of "Golden Boyz" aka from that web page link on the first page "Gold & Silver"

the artwork is very nice. i got all the pages of that from korokoro. my friend has book #1 i think they stopped drawing it though? o_O; i really loved that, they only releseased a few books. maybe i'll scan it...since i already ripped it out anyways. =-=;

pokemon manga is heaven compared to the anime =D

Oh, I remember a post of mine at SPP. *copies and paste*
List of Places to get them Online:
If you are living in Singapore, you can usually get the English version from the nearest bookstores. It is published by Chuang Yi, a local company that translates Japanese comics into either English or Chinese.
You can order from sims@kinokuniya.com , but be prepared to order the books over the phone. For more information, check http://www.kinokuniya.com.
Another alternative will be http://www.whatcomics.com/. According to a guestbook entry no. 311 at the Chuang Yi website, if you want to order Chuang Yi titles (Look out for Pokemon Adventures), you can special order them from they. They are listed. The FAQs part says that deliveries are not done outside of Singapore, but don't fret. Send an email to support@whatcomics.com on what you want, to specially order them. You have to pay with PayPal. Airmail is 7-14 days & ground shipping is about 2 months.
