Hmm... Just dropped in here myself as well...
Many thanks Wallace/Ryan (not sure what to call you). I trust very few people in my life, and consequently, trust even fewer people on the internet. Thus, I prefer to keep a low profile, and avoid getting involved with the whole online-social interaction business. However, after reading the comments of this thread, it was brought to my attention that, despite all the effort you put into translating the manga, I was doing nothing to show my appreciation.
For the most part, one can get away with this on the internet. Cyber space is so vast that there is a very good chance that the opinion of one will be voiced at some point by another. However, as the saying goes, it's the thought that counts.
I did not come to fully appreciate the Pokemon Adventures comics until recently, when I realized that the series had not terminated after the seventh volume. I enjoyed watching the series continue on, watch the characters change and ultimately, see the series grow up, painting a much more mature picture of the Pokemon world.
Had it not been for the efforts of people such as Ryan, I never have been given the privilege of enjoying the series in it's entirety. It is a shame that people cannot be as appreciative of the time and effort it takes to work between the language gap(s), but perhaps we can take comfort in knowing that my opinion likely coincides with that of one, two, or maybe a dozen others out there. The Internet is a realm of darkness, but the few who decide to bring light to those who search for it should not be ignored.
I apologize if I am to long-winded.
Best wishes,
