    Re: Pocket Monsters Special Manga Website.

    I realize that this might be/is probably not allowed on PokeCommunity since that meddling *blank* poked his face in, but please, please hear me out.

    A fellow member of PC and I had been working on a Pokemon Manga distributing Website together, kindly hosted by BulbaGarden. However, my partner has since lost his Internet access, and, being hopeless at HTML and such, I (with his permission) am forced to seek help from a third person(s). The reason I'm rushing right into this is because of Serebii's recent interference with PC's Manga-scanning threads (obviously out of spite because of his Manga coverage going under since its main contributor, Coronis, left). It makes me sick, and I'm not going to sit around and let that spiteful leach destroy everyone else's right to read a perfectly good, but difficult to obtain, Manga.

    I have obtained the Japanese Pocket Monsters Special volumes (1-28) and am in the process of scanning them. What I need for this Website is someone who is good at HTML (they would begin as the main programmer, and if my partner ever returns with his Internet, they're free to stay on) and someone who is fluent in Japanese to help me translate. My own Japanese, as much as I hate to admit it, is probably not good enough to translate an entire series without help from someone more literate.

    I want two things understood, though: 1) This is a purely non-profit project (if I were to take or charge money for such a thing, then this really would be illegal). And 2) Don't let this Website discourage you from buying either the Japanese version of Pocket Monsters Special, or Viz and Chuang Yi's translation of it, Pokemon Adventures. In fact, I'm hoping that this Website will also encourage people to buy the Manga themselves. Owning the actual book is far better than simply reading it on the Internet.

    Japanese
    English

    For those of you who might be interested, please either post here, PM me, or else contact me in some way from the methods shown on my contact details. I would prefer if you both posted here and contacted me directly in some way. It's much easier to keep up that way. Thanks a lot.

    Also, just to prove I have them, please enjoy these high-quality Manga cover scans (Japanese).

    Volume 1 -- front & back
    Volume 2 -- front & back
    Volume 3 -- front & back
    Volume 4 -- front & back

    Wait, so let me get this straight, all you need is a website design? There are plenty of those floating around the internet.

    Also, "meddling *blank* poked his face in" isn't any way to keep anything going on here. And I hope you aren't talking about a staff member. :/

    No, not a staff member. This guy. He didn't have a problem with scans on this Website until his Manga coverer left. Anyway, I need a HTML-user. I've already got a Website, as I said, kindly hosted by BulbaGarden. I need someone to help me run it.
     
    Serebii? That mindless parasite of a web owner? I hate him, he'll do anything to make he site popular, he's also very rude and arrogant. But if you need any help, just drop me a message on PC or on MSN. I wouldn't mind helping you with a layout :)

    forgotten_memory(at)live.com
     
    I'd totally be willing to help you out~

    (But rofl, Bulbagarden is hosting you? That's... a surprise. XD)
     
    Excuse me, not to be off-topic here, but I have not interefered in any manga thread here or anywhere...you can check my post history here if you do not believe me. I never even come here except to reply to a PM that someone sends, for which I get notified via e-mail...or to look at a thread someone thinks I should see such as this one, and I get why now.

    I really resent that accusation as it is completely and utterly untrue and is literally slander (well libel in this case but that argument is just academic)...

    Thanks a lot, Forgotten Memory and Koroku. ^_^ I'll send you both Emails to discuss this further. I'm afraid that I don't have MSN. However, I have AIM and Skype, if that's okay. If not, Emails are fine. Also, Koroku, is it Japanese that you'd be helping me with, or HTML/layouts? And thanks, anyway, Ooka.

    Everyone else, please feel free to continue posting here if you wish to volunteer, as well. I still need someone quite fluent in Japanese, more HTML designers should volunteer, and, I'd forgotten; someone who is good at making translations look attractive. I made a rough (crappy) sample below to demonstrate what I mean:

    Serebii, please don't think badly of me (the last thing I want is for you to get angry and start shouting your much-loved four-lettered words at me...), but I think the fact that, RIGHT after Coronis left your Website, PokeCommunity was forced to take down its scans, is enough for me to start shouting accusations. And I don't really think someone that accuses WebMasters of rivaling Websites of downloading Pokemon porn just because they can't think of better insults has any right to lecture ME about accusations.

    You don't have to have POSTED anything; you could have just as easily PMed or Emailed someone here, or maybe you didn't contact anyone here at all. Maybe you just went straight to... Uh, whoever manages these kinds of things. And if it wasn't you who did it, then I'm inclined to believe that it was someone from Serebii. We couldn't have Manga summaries being beaten by the actual comics now, could we?

    Also, I might have a bit more respect for your arguments if you used a little punctuation. I know the Internet might not be worth doing so over your awesome social life, but seriously... It's much easier to respect and/or take someone seriously when they are at least being literate. Also, it's "interfered," not "interefered." Cheers. ^_^
     
    So, you accused me of something because of mere coincidence? Insulting me just because of the timing? That is low, really low. I also have never made such an accusation about other webmasters. You really have a warped view of me.

    I never contacted anyone here regarding manga scans, you can ask the staff and the higher ups if you do not believe me. Next time, it would be better for you to check your facts before you start spreading lies about other people.

    Oh, and if, for whatever reason, I was to combat PC's manga stuff, I would have done it while we were covering it, not after. That's just simple and utter logic.

    As I said, I never come here except for those two extreme circumstances and frankly, I do not care what the people here do. Your accusations are lies and I would like you to stop spreading them. Thank you.

    And oh no, I made a typo by accidentally putting an extra e in. Whatever shall I do? I SHALL GO COMMIT SUICIDE NOW!

    Yes, Serebii, I insulted you because of the timing and the "coincidence." And, if I may say so, that is a far better reason than for all the crap that you give Archaic. I seem to recall you saying in the "picture scans of the Manga" thread on SerebiiForums; "Sorry guys; you wouldn't want this Forum to close and for BulbaGarden to be the only other place to go, would you? Didn't think so." Totally uncalled for. The way I see it, you are constantly taking cheap shots at people you do not like, and you have far less reason to do so than I do, in my opinion. Don't get all brissy just because it can work both ways.

    Do please learn to read my posts properly before you reply to them. Didn't I say that it's quite possible that you could have simply contacted the authorities and not made contact with PC at all? Honestly. I understand that with all your university, Website-designing, WiFi, and chatroom-flooding, you wouldn't have time to read posts made by someone as unimportant as myself, but seriously. You must try. And the fact that the Manga scans here dried up shortly after Coronis left is something that I'm relating to time. Why would you not butt your head in while you still had that guy helping you? THAT is simple and utter logic, or whatever the hell you want to call it.

    If you don't care what the people here do, then why did you post in this thread not two hours after I had made it? Does your awesome social life give you enough time to go around searching "Serebii" in every Forum you visit, or did one of your suck-up peers find it for you?

    Serebii, it'd be great if you were to commit suicide, but please don't tease me by getting my hopes up like that. ;) That said, this thread is for discussion on my Website, not for whatever you happen to have up your behind at this time. I really shouldn't have mentioned your name; I knew you'd react. Maybe that's why I did it. You really are predictable. But in two hours? That's record-time, I think. Shouldn't you be studying, or something? Go and do that.

    So one quote means that I am guilty of this? Please. I have not had any intention of interfering within the internal politics and rules of any other forum apart from my own. Maybe the staff here realised that scans could be classed as copyright infringment and thus prevented it. Just because it happens does not mean that it was my doing.

    I did read the posts and countered them with facts, you're just believing what you wish to believe due to some previous vendetta against me. It had nothing to do with me, get it in your head. I did not contact anyone, heck I didn't even know you lot were posting scans to begin with.

    Wow, you're incredibly bitter towards me for something that I have not done. Seriously, I suggest you contact the staff here and find out the true reason. I had nothing to do with it. I swear on everything I hold dear that I did none of this. Seriously, next time check the facts before accusing someone of something.
     
    ...Way to get off topic guys. Cool your jets, please. Most likely, the only person here responsible (or at least with the knowledge of why these scans were taken down) is PPNSteve, so please send any concerns his way before spouting off accusations at third parties. These are manga scans we're talking about, so I hardly see the need to get so hot under the collar.

    nicoleb, I've already infracted you for flaming Joe, so please discontinue.
     
    I know I shouldn't continue with this, but I can't just leave it. I'll try to put an end to it, though. Since I started it, I suppose.

    Not at all. I'm merely saying that, since you accuse Archaic of stupid things just because you can't think of anything else, you shouldn't accuse ME of accusations. And you're very right that it may not have been you. Maybe it was someone else. I'm inclined to believe what I want, and I still believe what I said, but to prevent a ban and some four-lettered words, I'll stop. I have no proof, so I'm sorry that I brought your name into this.

    Serebii, I have plenty against everyone. There are plenty of people on my bad list, and I never go after them because, as much as I hate to admit it, they're quite intelligent and haven't really done anything aside from annoying me. But I find it amusing to argue with you. I know that I'm quite immature myself, but you're the one choosing to talk to me. I didn't drag you here.

    Ah, I see the PM there now. Sorry. My mistake. (See? I can admit my mistakes.) And wow... I was right? So... It must be a pretty pathetic job to go prowling Forums, searching for flames on the great Serebii, and then reporting them. Don't people have anything better to do these days?

    How can I check the facts if I think you've contacted the authorities, not PC? Besides, I highly doubt that the PC staff would answer me if I asked them why this happened. And I hate to sound repetitive, but maybe you should check your facts before accusing someone of something. All over BulbaGarden, I see your abuse towards its staff and members. I'm not sure if you're accusing them, or if you just can't think of any better insults. Either way, lay off.

    Sorry, Fate. To put a stop to this and (maybe, hopefully) prevent myself from being banned, I'll say this: Serebii, I started this by bringing your name into something that I had no proof of. I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I'm a terrible, immature person. Sorry. Now let's get back on-topic (the topic that I dragged off).

    Keep posting your volunteers and ideas here, everyone. I really need them.
     
    Just for the record, I stopped going off at BMG (technically it was only Archaic I went off at) almost 2 years ago (unless they do something monumentally stupid, which has happened.). Heck, I'm a regular at their chat and have been considering offering association with them once they sort their servers out. I'm not a confrontational person unless someone has done something that really cheeses me off.

    I do accept your apology though. Just try to check things next time you go off on one :)

    Okay, Serebii, I will. I'll never give up on having goes on or insulting people that I don't really like, but I'll be sure to check my facts first next time. Thanks. :)
     
    Yeah. Thanks, Ooka. I got some help. But I'd still like to leave this thread open. I need some more volunteers to pour in, since I'm not sure how if I have a Japanese translator yet (or a visual editor). If you'd still like to help, that'd be great. ^_^ Even if you have a hectic schedule, I'd be just as happy for your help in any spare time that you want to use. I need all the help that I can get, especially with HTML, since I'm completely useless at that.
