I bought Vol 1-4 of PokeSpe recently, Vol 5 needs to be out :I

>>788
Yeah, but at least we don't have to make do with that "best of" crap anymore. I'm willing to be as patient as need be if we can get volumes 1-31 translated and published before they quit again.

Well, Vol. 5 of PokeSpe is out. Seeing as how I got the last copy, and it came out 4 days ago, I assume they're selling well.

Living in the UK sucks, since manga is non-existant here. I think I have a few chapters of Special somewhere that I bought as a kid, but that's about it.

>>787
I see your HNI, Nona.

Still haven't purchased any beyond the second volume - which I haven't finished.

>>800
HNI?

Viz just announced two more Pokemon Adventures volumes.
>Vol. 9 on Oct. 5 2010
>Vol. 10 on Dec. 7 2010 (First time US gets to see Satoshi Yamamoto's artwork.)

This means that they are willing to complete the Gold/Silver/Crystal arcs, and perhaps Ruby/Sapphire (as GSC has 1 chapter in Vol. 15, the start of RS).

Here's hoping they continue all the way to the end.

Well, today is June 1st, and Volume 7 of Pokemon Adventures is officially on sale! This volume concludes the Yellow Arc (for the second time ¬_¬) and Volume 8, the start of Gold/Silver/Crystal arc goes on sale on August 3rd!

Well a sever lack in the "cash to blow" department has left me unable to buy much new, but I was able to use the leftover Borders cash I had from Christmas and got myself volumes 1-3. I'm noticing a few things as I re-read them, the biggest of which is that Viz Kids is publishing it in the original right-to-left format unlike Chuang-Yi, which is a great thing in my book.

Pic sorta related. Apparently Green studied abroad before coming back to train in Kanto. Could this become important later? Y/N

>>1019
Yep, that's covered in the GSC arc. I'll not spoil it for you.

Man these guys plan ahead.

Just a heads up for anyone who reads DP Adventure. Volume Seven goes on sale July 6th. (USA and Canada)

Viz has decided to release Pokemon Adventures: Platinum, along side Volume 11 on February 1st. Volume 1 of Platinum (Also known as Volume 30 of Special) starts off the Diamond and Pearl Arc of of the series.

>>1158
That almost seems intentionally confusing for people who're reading DP Adventure. First off, Pokémon SPECIAL gets called Pokémon ADVENTURES, then they make a completely unrelated manga and market it as Diamond and Pearl ADVENTURES, and now we've got what's really a later arc of SPECIAL called Adventures Platinum which, because of the word PLATINUM, might make readers of DP Adventure to believe it's a sequel to their own spin-off series and.... ARGH! MY MIND IS FULL OF FUCK!!

>>1159
I understand it. DPA has been in it's "platinum" arc for a while now, and the final volume is the next to be released (November 2nd). This will make sure that DPA will be far enough out of the way so there is little confusion.

Pokemon Adventures: Platinum still has the same iconic logo, author, and (soon to be) artist. Also, starting with Volume 8, Pokemon Adventures will be getting a small logo saying [Gold & Silver] similar to the one being used for Pokemon Adventures: Platinum.

As of today, the 8th volume of Pokemon Adventures is on sale! Instead of using a stock photo, have a live photo of my copy. This is really only to show the [GOLD & SILVER] logo that is absent in any sizable image I could find on the internet.

Some things to note:

Gold's Pokemon are nicknamed, but are different from what we've seen before (As this is Viz's first run of GSC). Instead of ending their names with "-taro" the nicknames have "-bo" at the end:

Aibo
Exbo
Sunbo
Polibo

... and so on. Those are all of the nicknames as of Volume 8, but I'm sure the rest wouldn't be hard to guess at.

Another thing is that Viz actually named Youngster Joey correctly. In the Chuang-Yi edition, he was named Grant.

9 is out

Utaro is Sudobo
Togetaro is Togebo
and Vui is Vee

>>1274
This man speaks the truth.

In an image similar to the OP, here's my collection of the Pokemon Manga. Vol. 9 is there (and if i had time to buy it tuesday, i would have), next to DP:Adventures 6 and 7.

The final volume of Diamond and Pearl Adventure! went on sale November 2nd! I just recently got my copy, and it's a great conclusion to the story.

>>1350
Oh man, I remember these. We used to have them up for downloads when the site first started. I have yet to put them back up when I keep promising that I would.

I even had permission from the person who scanned them herself. :S

That's right folks, the third volume in the GSC saga of Pokemon Adventures went on sale December 7th!

This is the first volume featuring Crystal, and the first volume where Satoshi Yamamoto takes over as illustrator from Mato.

Also, thank you Zippie for bumping the thread to remind me to update this!

Y'know, there still aren't any scans of the new Viz printing on the Internet.

Anyways, chapter 405. Yay!

Volume 11 of Pokemon Adventures is on sale today!

Correcting what I said >>1158 there, Vol. 1 of Pokemon Adventures: Diamond Pearl Platinum will be out March 1st.

Starting today, the first volume of the Diamond and Pearl chapter is on sale!

Some notes of interest:
Dia is actually called 'Dia' in the translation, but I have yet to see Pearl go 'Dia, I mean, Diamond.' though. Their comedy routine has changed to fit translations, but isn't awkward as I was expecting. The Berlitz name stays the same as well.

Pearl's Pokemon have new nicknames in this version:
Chatler
Chimler

And Dia's are:
Lax
Tru

Personally, I don't think they'll do the same thing for the RS and FRLG arc, since the final chapter of the GSC arc is in Vol. 15, which starts RS, and RS leads directly into the plot of FRLG. BUT, as some of us know, FRLG also leads into DPPT, so how they'll work this out, we'll have to wait and see.

The next DPPT volume is slated for a June release.

Actually, FRLG lead into Emerald which end exactly at the end of vol 29, so things will be fine...

>>1446
I was mostly referring to the character in FRLG who just recently appeared in DP. I'm hoping they get through FRLG in time so that her appearance isn't confusing. And as of now, we don't know how much time has passed since the end of Emerald and to the start of DP.

Volume 12 of Pokemon Adventures is on sale today!

Volume 13 is on sale now!

Volume 2 of the Diamond/Pearl/Platinum arc is on sale now!

The Black and White Arc of Pokemon Adventures starts today for US and Canadian fans! While they're not openly labled as part of the 'Pokemon Adventures' series - which is a questionable move on Viz's part - they are titled a 'Pokemon Adventures Special Edition' on the backs of the volumes. I think it's just confusing...

These two 'mini volumes' are on sale now , at half the price of a full volume. Between these two volumes, there were 7 chapters, where as in Vol. 13, there are 11 chapters.

Volume 3 is on sale Sept. 6th.
Volume 4 is on sale Nov. 8th.

>>1518
Also, just to reiterate, these volumes are TINY! They're also shorter than a traditional manga volume, but wider. I'm not a fan of this style of publishing.

>>1518
Man, these look so slick. When money permits, I look forward to buying all volumes.

The conclusion to the GSC arc, Volume 14 of Pokemon Adventures, is on sale today!

And if Viz doesn't change their minds, this'll be the last time we see the first seven Dexholders for a long time.

The third volume of Viz's publication of the Black and White chapter is on sale today!

The third volume of the Diamond and Pearl arc (or the 32nd volume in all) is now on sale!

Volume Four of the Black and White chapter is on sale now!
