    BAH! ignore this person then , he has no right to tells us that these are wrong. Plus you think the people who run PC would be angry for him trying to control them.

    Plus that (someone) is like tons of people on seribii there were links every where to this site when i went there to investigate and try to understand.

    You know, Merrick is sort of a "Sun King".

    He thinks he shines like sun and is above everyone.

    When {someone} mentioned us doing scans on the PokeCommunity, Merrick's brainwashed members started to yell "No! They Shouldn't! It's illegal! Our Lord will punish you!" And the "Lord" spotted it, and raided into PokeCommunity.

    It's especially annoying considering that Merrick has all game ROMs on his computer (just look at his screenshots) and probably also manga scans from Coronis. He is NOTHING like a sun, in fact.

    So...in other words, Merrick's a hypocrite.

    To be fair, just because he pirates stuff, doesn't mean he wants his site to get taken down. I wouldn't want my stuff messed up just because I have a few gigs of pirated material on my HD.

    Why he would care about PC, though, I have no idea.

    Joe Merrick = Serebii's real name.

    So, I think you've heard about him after all.

    I dunno if I would assume that Serebii has Coronis' scans; does Coronis even have physical scans anyway? That's a HUGE amount of work, so there's no way sie could have taken books and scanned them in; the alternative is that sie uses existing scans from the nets, but I certainly couldn't find Japanese scans anywhere.

    That doesn't mean Serebii is any better as a person, of course >_>; I honestly just think he acts like that because he doesn't want diverting attention-- after all, serebii.net has essentially the monopoly on PokeSpe information. It's like the friggin' Medieval Church; no one could read, so they had the monopoly on attention and information. Rassnfrassn jerkfaces.

    (Actually, I'm just biased against serebii because the forums are increeeeeedibly noobish. S'why I hang out here =P)

    I'm not happy about this, but, I understand Lucario's reasoning. *sigh*...

    Whether you're biased or not, that totally makes sense...

    As an aside, I went to Serebii's forums for about five minutes one time. Nothing could top the mix of hatred and rage that I felt toward the stupidity of that forum. Seriously, even our own Diamond and Pearl forum can't compare to them.

    There are people that like Soulja Boy there.

    And they're in the majority.

    I been around serebii forums but I 've never been struck by anything too n00bish. More like they seem to get all butthurt if someone is being n00bish.

    Another religion-hating atheist rebelliant?

    I keep seeing them everywhere. That's so boring.

    I'm a Christian, FYI.

    WHAT'CHA GONNA DO ABOUT IT? XDDD

    Regardless, I don't think it's particularly unfair to say. Medieval Church != modern Catholic Church. JP2 was the shiz.

    /off-topic. Just had to clarify.

    Yup, serebii forums is just noobish enough to allow art thieves to live. I know, my art was stolen there. And I left, fed up at the lousy control over art thieves.

    Anyways, now that Coronis is gone (for a good cause), Serebii has only netkun to get PokéSpe info. I really hope that volume 29 comes out at July soon. Then maybe the Emerald conclusion will come to light.

    I think Serebii is afraid of losing manga-wise to PC, now that the queen of his side of the PokéSpe chessboard is gone. The only reason I can think of why Serebii forums is popular is the manga section because no other site I know of has English PokéSpe info. He's probably trying to remove competition. To support my statement: Serebii didn't barge in until now, and definitely not before Coronis left. PC isn't his to dominate anyways, so he shouldn't play politics here.
