Maybe to demonstrate something?

Perhaps, but it's still kinda creepy.


can I join? I read the Chuang Yi version online for 2 years. and since Splatty's not running it here anymore, who is?
Yes you may. :3 welcome.

Well, technically she is, but this club has 5 co-owners (myself included).
Sadly, they hardly come on (I know one just got back from a trip, but she hasn't posted yet...), so I manage this club by myself.

Anyway, seems like news is slow.

-hugs Chamo-chan-

I would imagine the news to be a little slow since we got a lot of information back on page 686. Man I keep forgetting to read Pokemon Emerald. -writes this down on my notes-

Spoiler:
the reason you can't find hgss is because the arc is not officially released, (although, i cant figure out why they would translate the magazine (unofficial) version of bw and not hgss >.>)


just checking, since i can never remember, when is the next birthday? it's crystal's right?

News is slow?? After everything that was posted last page? D: It's a lot to take in.
Ok ok. Well, there are some more news a'comin.
i bring big news!
Spoiler:
chap 38 raws are out!!
Spoiler:
I saw.
I'll have to look at the chapter names later though, for whoever asked for them.

thanks! And does anyone know where I can read HGSS? Otakuworks hasn't uploaded them yet.
Spoiler:
Oh...HG/SS....well.
Lemme tell you this.
The reason why it's difficult to put up scans of that chapter is because of how it was released in the magazines.
There is no chronological way to arrange half of that arc because of inconsistency. Also, because the magaka were rushed to finish HGSS, the last few chapters show some major inconsistency with the story line.
So, imho, I think we should wait until the come out in tankobon (book) form.


just checking, since i can never remember, when is the next birthday? it's crystal's right?
I think so. :3

Anyway, I have some news for you guys~ 2 of them. One good one, and one that may cause some grief for some people...

Anyway, good news first. BW stuff
SPOILER RULE PEOPLE! :U
Spoiler:
We have some pictures from this month's plot, as well as a summary of what is happening.
To see the pics, go here.

And once again, summaries, courtesy of Coronis of serebiiforums.
Quoted from Coronis:
Grade 4:
Black and White are in Nacrene City, and White is doing an advertisement of the BW agency in a restaurant. Outside, Black recites his daily goal loudly as usual, and starts to scare the customers away. As an employee o the agency, Black is forced by White to give out their name cards to the people, but Black apparently freaks the musician on the road out instead with his anxious behaviour.

White talks to the musician herself, who is holding an accordion, and suddenly, the film director she worked with before pops up, and it turns out that the musician is supposed to having a shooting that day. The musician goes to get himself ready and leaves behind his accordion for the assitant to look after. However, the assistant becomes thirsty, and believes that his short absence will be fine. Unfortunately, a Scraggy and Scrafty have their eyes on the instrument which very much resembles the loose skin on their waist, and decide to snatch it away.

Meanwhile, Black is training his Munna and his Galvantula, surrounding their battle field with electricity-filled spider webs. Galvantula's Electro Ball nearly hits the director who is walking past, and at the moment, the assistant comes crying that the accordion is missing. Like before, the director thinks Black is the culprit again, and Black decides to prove himself and the BW agency innocent.

He uses Munna to clear his mind, and soon sees two figures in the bushes. Snatching away the trousers of the assistant, which are loose on himself, he pulls them up and down, and this motion catches the interest of Scraggy and Scarfty again, who come popping out. Tepig fails to knock them down with its fire attacks, but as they two flee, they end up caught in the electric nets set by Galvantula, and Black manages to retrieve the accordion.

White returns Black's Tepig to him so that he could proceed to challenge Lenora, the Nacrene Gymleader, and the boy goes off in high spirits. The director then thanks White for her help, and offers to give her the chance to get involved with the major filming companies. He speaks of a project that is about to take place at Nimbasa City, and wonders if she would be interested to take part in it...

=================================================


Pokemon Fan:
This chapter starts at the Nacrene Museum at night, where three female TP Grunts lock down their target on the dragon skeleton, hoping to present it to their King. The next morning, Black is annoyed that White is still shopping around the furniture stores, and states that there is nothing left to do in the city. White, on the other hand, seems to be enjoying the city's many shops. Suddenly, they see Hawes, the assistant director of the Nacrene Museum, runs around frantically on the streets, revealing that the dragon skeleton has gone missing.

Black, using Munna to clear his mind again, figures out that the culprit has gone west. He tells White and Hawes to stay behind while he goes on pursuit, but bumps into Burgh on his way. Outside, the two soon discover that the dragon skeleton is walking on its own, and as the skeleton attacks Burgh, Black figures out that something must be controlling it. He gets his Braviary to attack the bushes, which reveals the three Plama Grunts and one of the Seven Sages, Gorm.

From the ease of the skeleton's motions, Black rationalizes that the controller must be near, and spots a coffin like item next to the Grunts. He gets Burgh's help to send Whirlepede spinning towards himself, before Briavary smacks it towards the coffin, revealing it to be a Cohagrigus. Gorm attempts to withdraw it, but Burgh orders a Pursuit from Whirlipede, which manages to knock out the coffin Pokemon, freeing its control over the skeleton. The Grunts begin to sulk, but Gorm assures them that it is another dragon that Team Plasma seeks. With that, they vanish and flee the scene.

Black and White bid their goodbyes to Burgh, but add that they shall meet soon at Castelia City. It turns out that Black knew Burgh's Gymleader identity all along, as he is familiarized with every single Gymleader in Unova...


Yep. that is what's going on.
Though I am dissapointed at one thing.
Since it shows that not only did they pass the Dreamyard and Fennel's lab in Striaton City, but now they are going to face Lenora at the Nacrene city Gym...that means that the whole Striaton City Gym Battle seems to have been skipped.
ono
nuuu, I was hoping to see Black Vs. Chili, Cress, and Cilan. ;3; OTL That means we might have to wait until the BW arc comes out in tankobon form.
On the other hand...

Accordion Scraggy~ <3


Ok. now onto the...weird...facepalm inducing news.
This isn't really spoilers I guess, but since it involves the BW chapter of PokeSpe...
Spoiler:
It seems VIZ is about to jump the shark and release a manga called Pokemon Black and White.
At first, it looks like they are talking about some other BW manga..but.
Look at this press release about it...

It seems like the title for this manga is "Pokemon Adventures: Black and White"

OTL DANG IT VIZ.
It looks like they want to cash in on this Black and White hype by releasing the BW chapters of Pokemon Special.

For some, this looks like a good idea because we get to see an official English translation, but ...there are some problems with this.

1.) This arc in incomplete. I doubt VIZ has enough to go on to release their own book for BW.
2.) If they are taking this info from magazine scans, they are risking having stuff changed in the Japanese version once the arc is actually in tankobon form in Japan.
3.) Magazine chapters tend to be inconsistent and out of chronological order. Unless Viz has some info on the BW arc of Pokemon Special, this is going to be a train wreck.

Get off that train while you still can, Viz. ;;3;; I already have much respect for you guys re-releasing Pokemon Adventures. Please don't do this to yourseeeeelf.

Since I'm a hard fan of PokeSpe, I must join this grup. Nice to meet you fellow fans :)
I can hardly catch the manga since it is not released in my country so I'm heavily dependent on online scantlation.

*hugs* it's alright.

Btw, I found out something weird about this supposed Pokemon Adventures Black and White.
For some reason, it's about 3 dollars cheaper than the other Pokemon Adventures books.
Maybe Viz will release this incomplete version first, then later on, they will have a second version out?

hi again, don't know if people still remember me since I keep coming and going xD

Spoiler:
I haven't seen the latest scans of the BW arc yet (since I don't know where to find them online), but I saw some pictures of the first few chapters and N's hair looks a lot 'bushier' than his other artwork. I'm also a bit disappointed that White isn't going for gym battles, but the whole thing with the BW agency sounds interesting so I guess we'll have to see where the writers are going to take this.

also, chamo how did you know about the R/S wide-ban release? I'm just curious since R/S is one of my favorite arcs in the series


and of course, happy belated birthday to Yellow!

if I'm not mistaken, they release the chapters in the magazines first and compile them into volumes later on. DP arc just finished being published in volumes in Japan, and heartgold just finished being published in the magazines while the BW arc is currently going on in the magazines. This means that the Platinum and HG arcs are probably going to be serialized into volumes soon.

I think what happened is that more people are "into" BW (or something like that, since there seems to be more people playing BW than the other games) so we are getting more fan translations for things like anime/manga. That's probably why magazine scans of BW are already translated, while the Platinum and HG arcs are still waiting to be published. I might be wrong though, it could probably just be that the scanlators decided to start with BW while waiting for the other arcs. xD

not hate spewing please if you are compelled to do so. =w=;; (We don't want to start a flame war here). Also. Kinda indifferent to N.

Also, just before this happens.
There is a spoiler rule in place! I know I've been hounding you guys with this constantly, but this rule tends to be broken on more occasions (the other being off-topic posts.) There are people in this club who have not caught up to BW, HGSS, Platinum arcs yet, and they don't read scanlations, so they don't want to be spoiled on what happens. Respect that plz.

And with that, I will go a little bit off of what moon said in the last post.

Spoiler:

The reason why no one is translating the rest of the Platinum chapters (aside from the official ones in Vol. 38), and the HGSS ones are for 3 reasons:
1. See moon's reason.
2. Because they were published in magazines, it's extremely difficult to find them NOW. The only people who have those magazine chapters are those who bought the magazines when they came out. It also seems that those scans have not surfaced on the internet, so we are left with only brief summaries about them.
3. Inconsistency with chapters. Magazine chapters are NOT the final drafts that will be put in the tankobons. Instead, they just offer the reader an idea on what will happen. Sure, some magazine chapters remain the same, but others may have changes, such as having altered dialogue, aesthetic changes, and other stuff. HGSS is a very special case, because this arc was rushed due to the BW hype and the fact that 2 of the 3 magazines they were publishing the chapters in had to close down. Thus, the HGSS chapters are out of chronological order, and they "ending" to the arc is very open-ended and incomplete.

imho, I would rather have a consistent, complete arc rather than the scanlations from magazines.


tl;dr.

So they are just going to go ahead and realize the BW adventure manga when it isn't done yet? Why would they want to do that right away? That would mean we would probably have to wait more once the Jap manga is being worked on.

I agree with you there. DP got off to a very slow start and then had to cram in its ending way to quickly. The pacing was my biggest issue.

No

I meant the chapters that were ALREADY in the magazines. They ARE going into tankobon form soon! I didnt say that they are in magazines NOW.

=3=
sorry to scare you.
Wah don't scare me like that lol. There was so much to read that I didn't get the chance to fully read everything. Oh ok thought you where meaning they are being published in the magazines now.
