ZOMGFTA to be scanslating Pocket Monsters Special

[oni flygon]

It's like... the best thing sinced sliced bread.

ZOMGFTA (ZOMG Fruit Tree Alchemists) is one of the popular sites that have been scanslating the FMA manga and keeping us up to date with the FMA manga (up to Chapter 55). But now, they're having a new side project. And that's scanslating the Pokemon Special Manga!

The good part about it is that the awesomeness of the Pokemon Manga will be spread even more to FMA Manga fans and maybe the age old stereotype will soon be broken by this magnificent site. I really can't wait to see some quality scans from them. =D

Me and Jesse-chan are also working on a scanslation project. It'd be easier to just let us do it. But, meh. I'm sure I can't stop you. Yay. XD

 

[oni flygon]

I'm not doing the scanslating... Umeko is... >>

And that'd be great as scanslating would allow some fans to obtain the manga without ordering it from Singapore and all...

 

[Roy-Kun]

Yay! I was about to order Pokespecial #7 VIA Internet.

But now thanks to you Akinari, now i can see the light, and i tell you, it burns ><

Meh, just kidding, is cool that ZOMGFTA is going to scan the Pokespecial, i can't wait to that xD.

Nicleb, just keep your work, i want to see all the R/G/B and Y sagas still (i just had seen the synopsis, but i want to see the scans).

Oh. Sweet! XD

I guess we'll have two scanslations, then.

In any case, volumes 1-9 need to be scanslationed. Viz (and whoever did Volumes 8 and 9) really screwed the Manga up. The rest by Chuang Yi isn't too bad. But since they take out the cussing, scanslations of them must also be made =P

What Website will you be using to host the pictures, Niko? (There's, like... 4000+ pages in total (from 1-20, and 21'll be out soon, too).) We'll most likely be using Image Shack.

I told you I'm not related in the scanslating project. Umeko is using her own website and she'll probably release the scans like the FMA scanslations: zip form.

Like I said... I'm not related to the scanslating project. Umeko declined help from anyone. My friend and I voluntered but yeah...

Sounds like a real nice person. >>

But, hell, that just makes me (and most likely Jesse-chan, as well) want to come up with our own scanslations even more. The question now is who'll get it done first. And who'll do a better job. ^_~

Actually, look under the #Pocketmonsters site's preview section. Guess who translated that. ^^

Yuh. I saw that yesterday. I've already scanned Volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, and 15. ^^

 

[micerunningonsundays]

Yea, #PM has a new scanlation project in the works, though I'm not exactly sure of the release date atm. Thats pretty cool that ZOMGFTA is doing it also, XD

 

[Umeko]

Sounds like a real nice person. >>

Heyhey, you don't even know me. : ( You've hurt my feelings!

XD In all seriousness, we really do appreciate the offers for help, but we honestly don't need it. Several people have offered to help in the project, and we're thankful and we love you all, but Cynthia/CSakuraS and I just prefer to work the two of us. This is how we've been working for almost a year now, and it's clear that we can work quite efficiently with just two people. Any more would make things complicated and jeopordize consistency. Sorry, please don't take it personally. ^^;;

Anyway, we're just doing volumes eight and up. We have had people asking where they can get the first seven volumes, and while I don't quite agree with compromising Viz's sales, they are probably harder to come by nowadays and I'm sure scanlations of the first seven volumes would be much appreciated. :3

 

[oni flygon]

OMG! It's Umeko! =O

I've been such a fan of your scanslation projects, especially your FMA projects (not to mention the omake galleries...>>)

 

[Umeko]

XD As if we've done any scanlation projects unrelated to Fullmetal Alchemist before now? : P I'm looking forward to PokeSupe, though~ (From the minor work that I've done on it so far, it seems a lot easier to edit than Hagaren, due to the simpler art style. SCORE! XD)

And hello everyone~ XD Cynthia mentioned that word had gotten out, and I was curious to see how far, so here I am. :X

But now I fear for ZOMGFTA's bandwidth. Oh noes. D:

I'm sorry, Umeko. Now that I've heard your side of the story, and seen that your posts are almost as cute as mine, I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. XD But, yeah, I know what you mean. I've got people PMing me left and right, asking me if they want them to translate my Website into assorted languages for me. O_O

In any case, it looks like I've got a rival in the Manga project. =P May the best team kick the other team's butt! Then we can all eat pudding together. ^_^ But I get more, because, like... I like pudding. And... Yeah. XD

 

[Umeko]

Oh, no hard feelings at all! XD

Uh-oh! You've just issued a challenge to the great and amazing ZOMGFTA! :OO I hope you don't regret it~! >D

Umeko: ZOMGFTA has officially been challenged!
CSakuraS: D: what, OMGWTFBBQ finally dies and then we have a NEW rival?
CSakuraS: though having rivals in scanlating a Pokemon manga sounds oddly ironic XD
CSakuraS: quick, let's call Gold as our mascot! they can get Silver or whoever :O
Umeko: OKAY
Umeko: GOLD LUV
CSakuraS: : D <3

Then we can all eat pudding together. ^_^ But I get more, because, like... I like pudding. And... Yeah. XD

YAY PUDDING! : D : D : D

Didn't you see my first post? We've started working on that.

 

[Ash_Pokemaster]

Sorry if I annoy but I have a question. Where can I download it and how (if it's on IRC). Thanks

 

[Umeko]

I know, I never said that you weren't. : D

(Apologies if you saw what I had posted originally, I had misread your post.)

 

[nicoleb]

Oh, no hard feelings at all! XD

Yay! X3

Uh-oh! You've just issued a challenge to the great and amazing ZOMGFTA! :OO I hope you don't regret it~! >D

I shall destroy you! And your family! And your dog! Hahaha!

YAY PUDDING! : D : D : D

LOL. Yeah. Me neither. We both "abuse" its power. XD

Then you're my rival, too. ^_~

Ash_Pokemaster, the work is in progress. If you want the first seven by VIZ, however, I believe you can download them at LimeWire or .Torrent.com. ^_^

I am pretty sure that project will die, unfortunately. Or, we'll wait for the scans for years. Scanning the manga is hard work. I've seen lots of scanning projects. Every such project died.
