PokeSpe Official Release Thread (+ all zipped English volumes)

[Bonzai-Cat]

THANK YOU
oh thank you so much for this i love the poke'mon special manga

and btw when will you have Volume 12 of this? I just can't get enough of this

@Umbreon Ruler: When Nicoleb posted them, they were as ordered photobucket links, however, when minakichan downloaded and compiled them into a zip file, they weren't in alphabetical order, which is the order our image viewers expect. (The chapters are named like "dboyslivePA9_Chapter_One_Hundred_And_Eight2.jpg" and since "One_Hundred_And_Eight" comes right before "One_Hundred_And_Eleven", that's the order they go in.) Anybody care to fix this?

@Bonzai-Cat: We're working on it. ;)

 

[Mileyangel]

I REALLY like this idea. I wish that I could contribute... but I only have vol. 2 and the best of red....

So, are you guys just working your way up? How long does it take to translate? Cause if that were me, it would take, like, a year to do one chapter...

 

[chamo-chan]

I like what you guys are doing as well..........
I just wish I knew how to read Japanese....... I was thinking of buying PokeSpe in Japanese.....

@benji: There is an easy way to sort of fix this which is using Details view and then sorting it in order by detail and not name. Although some chapters are still jumbled they're only 1-2 pages apart other than 108 which I just put it into a folder :D

 

[benji]

@MileyAngel: It takes me a long time to translate Japanese (*not fluent*), but I can easily translate Chinese.

@UpinFlames: That's an awesome suggestion, UpinFlames (I'm on a mac, though -- what's "sorting by detail"? Sorting by date of creation?), but it would be more convenient for everybody if the pages were alphabetically ordered, e.g. "PokeSpe_v9ch108_p02.jpg". Is there a way to sort it on a Windows computer with this (automatically rename)? I was thinking of using regular expressions (e.g. "s/Chapter_One_Hundred_And_Eight/ch108/g") to do this... But your solution is the best momentary fix. Thanks! ^^

EDIT: I think there's only a "detail view", no method to sort by "detail" -- you were probably sorting by the "Created on" date. =D

 

[UpinFlames]

Ah yea D: For Windows it's the Date Modified option oops xD

That's cool. Take all the time you need!

 

[lalalagirl]

Thank you so much guys! You guys are awesome ^^ <33

It would be REALLY awesome if somebody translated vol.14 and the FRLG chapters.... I would myself, but only have vol.2 and the Best of Red, and I don't understand a WORD of ANY foregin language....

I have the RAW mangas of 25 and 26 in the FRLG arc. I'm working to get those scanlated with the members in the PokeSpe Scanlation attempt thread, so watch that space =)

I have a question and I hope I'm not crossing any lines or anything, but would it be all right if I could rename all the files for every volume in a consistent manner and archive them for easier and proper viewing in CDisplay? To be honest, I've already done so, but I feel the need to ask here first before uploading them.

Since some of you may not be aware of CDisplay, it's basically a small, free image viewing program for Windows that's used to view one or two images at a time just like a comic book. It's rather popular for comic book scans as it's more convenient for things like this. For more information, you'll have to Wiki or Google it. I'm not exactly allowed to post links due to my lack of posts right now.

 

[minakichan]

@kougo: Do you mean for the heavily unorganized Korean scans? That would be a blessing, sure, I don't see why not ^^;

 

[Kougo]

Actually, I meant for the English scans. Like mentioned before, the way each file's named puts things a little bit out of order for typical image viewing programs, and what I did was "fix" it so that they could be viewed more properly. Afterward, I archived each volume for viewing in CDisplay.

I just finished uploading all the ones I did so far:
Volume 1: sendspace.com/file/nx7yz7
Volume 2: sendspace.com/file/wyi6u3
Volume 3: sendspace.com/file/56xshq
Volume 4: sendspace.com/file/vfsqci
Volume 5: sendspace.com/file/c1rstn
Volume 6: sendspace.com/file/60zw94
Volume 7: sendspace.com/file/ycrdin
Volume 8: sendspace.com/file/kg4m9f
Volume 9: sendspace.com/file/xs25va
Volume 10: sendspace.com/file/620t0y
Volume 11: sendspace.com/file/6a48j8
Volume 16: sendspace.com/file/r34sjq

If nothing else, they can serve as extra mirrors since they're just RARs with the extension changed to comply with CDisplay.

 

[benji]

Yeah... reordering those scans would be nice... >_<

@minakichan: Do you think we should use these graciously reordered scans by Kougo as the "official" English scans (e.g. instead of the original out-of-order names?) It would make things a lot easier for people (and head off a lot of uninformed complaints). I can mirror those scans on mediafire, if needed.

Thanks a bunch, Kougo!

Lugia...
I can't wait to see what will happen next...
Thank you very much!

 

[Avegaille]

Well, interesting thread... yes, I'm a member here, but anyways, I was informed about this just now... and yes, I'm allowing you guys to put my scans in this thread. Good luck though with your project, but I will help however. Although, I still need to scan Volumes 16 and 20 at the very least. I plan to get all the Volumes for the Ru/Sa arc... 8D

So whee? ;x

 

[minakichan]

@benji: Sounds good to me...
