    haha don't worry I'm not offended xD
    I'm from Taiwan, we get a lot of Japanese stuff since we're close to Japan so manga is sold here both in Japanese and Chinese



    here's another question about pokespe translations: is there a big difference between Chuang Yi's and Viz's translations? (the content itself, not the left-right/right-left format or chapter titles)
    Click to expand...

    Well... Viz censores stuff that Chuang Yi doesn't, right? Like pokéboobs XD

    Well, I can't really say, since VIZ only really has 7 (soon to be 10) books translated, but I do have a few differences I noted.

    Chuang-Yi:
    -Have a non traditional left to right format. (so everything in their translation of the manga is mirrored)
    -keep chapter names the same (roughly)
    -Have had several notable typos/fail (i.e. confusing Hoenn for Johto)
    -nicknames are present, but are different from their original nicknames.

    Viz:
    -Still keeps traditional right to left manga format.
    -punny chapter names.
    -So far, no real notable typos (except for one from what I remember)
    -censoring some parts.
    -inconsistency with nicknames.

    Personally I just feel this helps motivate me to buy the manga itself. I'm probably just gonna buy VIZ, but then again, I might just get the R/S arc... Seriously, that's my favorite arc ever. <3

    I'm just honored I was able to finally read it at all actually!
    I have been a fan of it since 2004-2005ish? It was pretty early on in the Ruby and Sapphire arc, and I couldn't get any info on it aside from Serebii, so I was glad when it went up..

    On the negative side, many people now are going to miss out on a great title because majority of people in my area believe Pokemon = Kids title. Shame what a shame...

    It's true.
    That's why I like actually buying the manga. Sure, it's nice to be very up to date and know what happens in recent chapters, but buying the manga can give a message to VIZ and let them know that people really do like the manga.
    (speaking of which, the other day, I tried to get Vol. 7 of PokeSpecial, but it was sold out. I am happy that people are actually buying it...but... ;;;n;;;; I wanted it. )

    You can probably find the Chuang Yi translated manga on Ebay. I've seen someone who sells it.

    Ah. Funny that you mention that, because in alot of bookstores, PokeSpecial is not in the manga section: it's in the kid's section instead. So you may have to swallow your pride and go to the kid's section to get it. ^u^;

    ........is no one going to do more captions? because the contest ends on Friday.
    Then I will post up another picture, and the winning captions. =3=

    ......um......hi guys! Remember me? Anyone?

    Well I have been veeeeerrrrrrrry inactive in this club for about um I don't know, probably a year....or so....I barely even remember any of ya'll, probably just Chamo (but that's just because her name and avatar haven't changed a lot).

    OK so I want to become active in this club once again, and to do that I'm going to re-read all of PokeSupe!!!

    OK so is there a current topic?

    Welcome, RedBattler~ Although I haven't exactly been around this place for a while, it's good to have you here! I'm very much as MangaQuest Fan as well though i do also like my yaoi.

    Mrf. I did have a topic for this place, but I'm pretty sure that we have already done such a topic, so /shrugs.

    *sidles in through door*

    *side-glances*

    *coughs*

    Er...hello. I think that's the best introduction I could come up with after being absent for...half a year or so? I think I lost track. Curse school and its misdeeds. And curse the HG/SS arc for being so freaking awesome and making me twitch crookedly in a corner of my room for a fourth of that time.

    But I'm sure most of you won't remember that weird mutant cat. Ahem-hem. 8D

    So welcome to the many members (who I'm sure have joined while I was absent but to whom I am too lazy to adress individually) of the Pokespe club! Glad to see it still prospers.

    Anyway, HG/SS stuff.

    I love these pics~ owo especially the PokeDex holders in that other pic.
    It's probably a joke about how certain types match personalities.
    Lol I don't think Green really fits that "fiery personality" type.

    WOW! This was sure funny! XD
    (This is what i imagined:
    "Togepi uses Metronome"
    "Togepi uses Guillotine"
    "It's a one-hit KO!")

    Welcome back, Clover! =D
    I see that there's a swarm of Red fans here! XD

    Well, since no one but Binary Peaches knows me here, I should introduce myself...

    I am Guren Reddo! MY favorite characters are Red (Oh really? XD) and Yellow, but I think that every character on Pokéspe have some awesomeness!
    My favorite shippings are Specialshipping, OldRivalShipping and Gracefulshipping!
    I've read all volumes until 31.
    Well... this is it! =D

    XD haha yeah it's hilarious
    The pictures are all from Pixiv.com, a site where Japanese artists post art they drew and etc.
    I just absolutely LOVE going there to find fanarts~~
    and the Leaf picture is one of four, which each picture has one word of four
    Fire
    Red
    Leaf
    Green

    I'll just go hide in my corner and cry now...

    @ Melody: those are great fan arts, but they're all game-verse. Since this is a Pokespé club, it's kind of logical to merely post manga-verse art, right? Also, I don't know if the first picture is appropriate for here. So you might want to edit your post.

    @ Clover: ah, you're back! :D HGSS still exciting you that much? Well, wouldn't have expected anything else, haha.

    Also, a welcome to all the new members. Hope you'll have fun here :)
