Black and White story jumpping.

[Kaith]

Okay, so is it just the site I use to read the manga, or the actual story? The story keeps jumping past different events. Like in the chapter just released (chapter 12) Black talks about attacks at the dream-yard, kidnapping in Castelia, the attempted capture of Victini, and the skull stealing. He also has 3 badges when I've only read about him wining a single badge, and that was the second badge.

The reason I'm asking is because if you look carefully one the page I'm talking about, you can see Iris in the center picture, and in the picture with Victini, there is a talk bubble with Japanese text in it.

Is this intentional? My first thought was that since it's being released in a magazine, and not novels, (Like how the Platinum arc is currently in) the author is intentionally leaving out chapters and will put them in once the novels catch up to the BW story.

The reason this is this way is because it's being released in several magazines at once, but the group translating it is only translating it from one magazine. So as of now, the ones that are translated are in a pretty random order. Once they get out into graphic novels we'll be able to get the whole story though. :3

Its because PokeSpe being released in mulltiple Magazine. The scan group who take PokeSpe as their project buy their own raw. Since those magazine are pretty expensive because taxes, export charges and such, the scan grup only capable exporting 1 magazine at a time. Its still ofrtunate for us for a scan grup to take PokeaSpe as their project. We can only wait for Tankobon for fixed chapter order. But, I think it still a long way for BW tankobon to be released since Platinum Chapter still have yet to finished.
