She is blue from the pokemon special and she is cute.
I stopped reading because it got past where it had been scanlated, and that was all the way back in the DP storyline, I need to find this again and catch up.
Do you think that Blue is perfect.
>pokespe thread
Awwww shit yeah. One of my favorites. It's just so fun
I stopped reading sometime around Platinum because all the scans stopped, but since Sun and Moon come out soon I might as well pick it back up
The mangaka is f ucking crazy though. Fucker's been trying to run ORAS, BW2 and XY at the same time.

Fug was so mad.
>>146466835
IIRC BW was published in several different magazines, so raws were hard to come by and what was available skipped around a lot. Then the games started coming out faster than the manga could finish arcs so the author was managing three or four arcs simultaneously. We still don't know the numbering for chapters past BW2. Scanlations have only started to catch up fairly recently.
>>146466509
DPPt, HGSS, and BW are complete.
They are in the middle of completing ORAS, B2W2 has been on stall forever and XY has also been on hold to finish up ORAS. With fucking Sun and Moon coming out we will never see if best boy will stop being alight stone

The Sun/Moon manga wasn't announced as being part of Special for some reason, not sure if it'll be canon.
>>146470850
You fool, you think there are only ONE pokemon manga in existence, there that one with the creepy clefary, there is also one about DP that is basically "pokemon dragon ball", and the new XY is completely unrelated to pokespec.
>I doubt it will be canon
I was hoping the retards that think pokeman has only one big continuity were secluded in /vp/...
>>146470850
Unlike what Pokespe retards think, there's tons of different Pokemon manga from different authors running concurrently.
>>146470992
>I was hoping the retards that think pokeman has only one big continuity were secluded in /vp/...
It's more of a Specialfag thing than a /vp/ thing.
>>146471072
Is not, in /vp/ there are retards that think in pokeman as a one big continuity, the games, the pokespec manga, the ashinme, all them are one for them.
>>146471138
I have never seen this outside Pokespe threads and muh Red threads where all characters named Red from different continuities are considered the same person by what seems to mostly be Pokespefags
>>146471138

>>146471254
I ran into retards that were claiming that the orange islands are canon, they never specific that is canon to the ashnime, they just say is canon and rage if you try to explain them about the different continuities.

>>146471638Lurk more faget
Opinions on the XY saga so far? I don't really like it, everything feels even more rushed than previous arcs, X is kind of unlikeable, and the battles aren't entertaining. It did make Diantha more likeable to me though.
>>146472048
X and Y are both terrible characters.
>>146462626
>>146462680
what the fuck?
pokespecial lost it's way after gold and silver, evidently
>>146473822
It lost and refound its ways like 10 times now.
The Yellow arc was complete horseshit from the point they got to the island too.
>>146471668
Ruby and Yellow. Black2 might move up depending on how his arc works out.
>>146472048
It's probably the worst arc so far. The background plot is kind of interesting, but the main characters have fuck all to do with it and just wander around explaining mega evolution and being angsty.
>>146466433
>>146466520
>>146466381
no that is green
>>146473944
that's bullshit. Yellow was a great arc.
the firs time the quality of pokespecial dipped for more than a chapter or two was near teh beginning of gold and silver.
>>146474787
It was a bunch of retarded edgeshit and Lance is probably still one of the worst written characters in the entire series.
>>146474356
Red and Green are named the way they're named because the original versions of the game were Red and Green. Even in the FRLG remakes when Leaf became a player character the rival maintained his default name of Green. The name is changed in western releases to red and blue as counterparts.
The only real reason to keep with the swapped name is because you're familiar with it, which is always dumb no matter what dub name you have.
>>146474966
He was fine, and having the gym leaders and dex holders team up against the elite four was hype.

That was a great twist moment.
>>146473822
I think that the author having to juggle so many series at once isn't making things easier. Releasing mainline pokemon games every year with a corresponding series with it will take its toll.
But there's no way you could call RS trash.

Why they never adapt this into anime instead of that garbage Ash it beyond me
Will Pokespe ever be as bad as it was during Emerald again?
>>146478317
The pacing is complete ass and extremely unsuitable for a running anime series.
>>146471719
Too bad that outfit will never return.
>>146478539
>The pacing is complete ass
It's literal gold compared to the actual show.
>>146478639
Are you retarded? Go ahead and show me how you'd adapt the GSC arc across 150 anime episodes.
>>146478720
An episode for 2 - 5 chapters, depending. It's not that hard.
>>146478751
There's not even 150 chapters to that arc. Try again.
>>146478798
Why the fuck would anyone adapt 1 arc to 150 episodes, are you an idiot? I don't think even the namek saga was that stretched.
>>146478539
There's no reason it would have to be long running, and even if it did they would just throw filler in everywhere just like every other long running series.
>>146478832
Hell, I was right, the entire namek arc was 67 episodes long.
I really wish they brought back the original artist for the first 9 volumes of special
new art sucks ass
>>146466672
>>146470686
W-what happened? I've always wanted to pick this up, but not if it gets super sad.
>>146478832
>Why the fuck would anyone adapt 1 arc to 150 episodes
Because if they had been adapting Special instead of making an original show, they'd obviously have adapted each arc while the games it adapted was still current. The gen 2 anime adaptation would have aired while gen 2 were the current games. And that was 3 years, so roughly 150 episodes.
>>146478843
>There's no reason it would have to be long running
It'd be the fucking Pokemon anime. It'd be long running for the exact same reason the current anime is long running: The people paying for it need it to be constantly on air.
>>146478893
You are actually retarded.
>>146478918
Anon, you were literally told why it'd have been a bad idea to adapt this instead of what they did instead.
You can't BOTH say the current anime has bas pacing AND say that a Special adaptation wouldn't have had bad pacing because they could have aired 15 episodes a year. If they wanted, they could have done that with the current show too.
>>146478955
The current anime is garbage among other reasons BECAUSE it's stretched out as you say.
Adapting pokespecial would only have bad pacing if you want to force it to have the same garbage pacing the current show has. You can't say "Pokespecial has bad pacing BECAUSE if you stretch it to 150 episodes it would suck". The fuck kind of insane logic is that?
15 episodes a year wouldn't fix the current show regardless, but it wouldn't ruin special.
>>146479006
Anon. The fact that the Pokemon anime has one episode a week and never takes breaks means that the producers need this to be the case. This would have been the case no matter if they had made their own show or adapted a manga.
Your logic is some kind of retarded loop going roughly
>the anime sucks because it's too stretched out and has too much filler, they should have adapted Special instead
>that would have been even more stretched out and had even more filler
>they could just take season breaks then
If your argument is "they shouldn't stretch each region so much", then SAY that, don't make shitty strawmen involving manga series that would have received even more stretched out adaptations than what you're currently getting.
>>146479006
>Adapting pokespecial would only have bad pacing if you want to force it to have the same garbage pacing the current show has.
It would have had. That's how these things work.
>>146479105
The problem is you went full retard with your initial answer.
Instead of saying "they don't adapt Special because the anime is a low-creativity commercial where the only priority is having it be permanently on air", you'd have been correct. Instead you said "Super has bad pacing that doesn't work for long running series".
Then when pressed on why it had bad pacing, you went and argued that IF you adapt it with horrid pacing, it would have bad pacing. I really hope I don't have to explain why that's a dumbass circular point. "Super has worse pacing than the actual anime, because if you give it the pacing of the actual anime it would be bad".
Fact is, when someone says "I wish they'd adapt Special", it's because they want a decent pokemon anime, not just having the anime replacing Ash with Red and still shitting out a weekly episode eternally.
And no, the pacing is not the only problem the Pokemon anime has. Even if it had a tight pacing and removed 75% of filler, you'd still have the shitty story of Ash instead of the much better one used in Special.
>>146479196
Then it wouldn't be a real adaptation of Special and Special would still not have bad pacing, only the poor anime version of it.
>>146479105
>I wish they had adapted Special
>that's a bad idea because it would suck if each arc was 150 episodes
>no, I want them to adapt it faithfully in a normal number of episodes
>it would suck because it would be 150 episodes
Also, that's not what a strawman is.
>>146479284
If the only way thy could possibly adapt Speial and not make it shit is to not make it a longrunner, then your issue is clearly with the fact that the Pokemon anime is a longrunner, not with the fact that it's not adapting Special.
>>146479940
Or maybe he just wants a GOOD adaptation of the material instead of an eternally stretched one.
But no, your logic is flawed. Special is a different story with different characters than the pokemon Anime, so just because stretching it out would ruin it doesn't mean it's the only thing wrong with the original anime.
>>146479940
You're retarded, but keep intentionally missing the point, I'm sure stubbornly defending your mistaken position on an anonymous board is worth it.
When the fuck is Gold and Silver gonna get animated?
Pokespe deserves it recognition after the crime the anime committed on my forgotten boy Satoshi.
>>146480042
Then shouldn't you be happy they didn't choose to adapt it and ruin it? It WOULD have been stretched out.
>>146480243
No anon, 150 episodes per "season" is not the only way to adapt something.
>>146480280
But it's what they chose to do with Pokemon. And that was because "it's Pokemon", not because of anything related to what they based it on. They'd have made that exact same decision had they gone with a manga adaptation too you know that.
>>146480317
Not at all. Pokemon special is an ongoing multi-arc story with good source material.
The only way to adapt it is not in fact "game commercial mode". Either way, you seem mentally stuck on this long-running issue when the guy literally only said "the anime is shit, I wish Super got an adaptiation".
>>146480348
And he's been told that a Special adaptation would have been just as shit if not more so because it WOULD have been an eternally long runner if that's what they'd have based the anime on.
>>146480406
To quote above me:
>I wish they had adapted Special
>that's a bad idea because it would suck if each arc was 150 episodes
>no, I want them to adapt it faithfully in a normal number of episodes
>it would suck because it would be 150 episode
>>146480426
So why not just say "I want the anime to take lengthy breaks instead of airing one episode a week for years". The anime is written the way it is for a reason, and that reason is because they know how long they have to stretch each arc.
You need to understand the reasoning behind decisions, anon. "The anime is stretched" and "the anime needs each arc to last 150-200 episodes" are directly related to each other.
>>146480507
Explain Origins then.
>>146480536
2 hour TV special intended to get adults that had dropped the series into it again by adapting a game they were familiar with and then teasing some cool elements from X/Y at the end to make them want to buy that.
Was seemingly considered a failure, has never been rerun anywhere, never really got mentioned again after it aired, and is unlikely to have sold all that well on home media, so it's doubtful they'll try that again.
>>146480612
Origins was not related to the other anime in any way and was in no way an advertisement for it, Origins was not an adaptation of any game, and mega evolution is not a cool element.
Face it, more than one Pokemon anime can exist and they can use formats other than perpetually running children's series.
>>146480507
The reasoning behind the decisions doesn't make the end result less shit. And EVEN if we went with your stubborn, illogical idea that the only way a Pokespe adaptation can possibly exist is if it stretches out as much as the current anime, it would still be much better, because it doesn't have other problems the current anime does have. For example, instead of a moronic, useless protagonist that never grows or changes and forgets everything every season, we'd have a new cast every season going on a new journey and facing different challenges, and over the seasons we would meet previous protagonists and witness their growth.
So let's say you're right, take PokeSpe and adapt it to replace the current anime. Adapt the main story properly, liberally inject filler when necessary and you're done. Still a much better show than Ash's, let alone if they actually made a proper adaptation of Special.
>>146480507
>So why not just say "I want the anime to take lengthy breaks instead of airing one episode a week for years
And in case it wasn't clear in my post:
Because that wouldn't make the current anime even close to as good as Special.
>>146461602

I miss the rather gritty tone of prior arc. (Giovani split apart those Magmars in two. Red got trap in Safari park) or the crazy original idea (Surge and Koga are evil and used combat armor made from their pokemon etc.). Now most of storyline just rely on game content. Dead villain like Pryce, Archie, Maxie came back just because their game counterpart are alive in remake are rather lame writing.

At the end of the BW arc, Black vanishes. This was supposed to be solved in BW2, but scheduling conflict happened.

You actually date Yancy in the game?
I never even knew she was in the game since I never found her x-tranceiver.
>>146498652
Yes, once you progress the quest enough you start dating her. It was the start of GF adding romance elements to the series. XY and ORAS take it even further, with ORAS more or less ending with Brendan and May as a couple.
Wonder how SM will do it
>>146498652
Yes, once you find her Xtranceiver and complete all the required calls you can start going on ferris wheel dates with her. She even confesses her real identity to you and is willing to trade somewhat rare pokemon for literally anything because all she cares about is that it's yours.
>>146498905
didn't they all have their dream world abilities too?
>>146499088
Yeah. The main "purpose" of the subquest is to get access to some rare Pokemon.
>>146498839
>>146498905
Kinda odd for a dating element to be in a kids game, are they finally aware about how toptier pokegirls are?
I remember ORAS ending with a date, but nothing specific about actually going out with your rival instead of being super best friends.
>>146499167
Depends on who you play as. The "dating May" thing is much more blatant when you play as Brendan, while playing as May has some extra additional romancing from Steven.
And Lucia wants to get in your pants no matter which character you play as.
>>146499167
With gen 5 and on they've been trying to appeal to a slightly older demographic, hence the older protags in BW and all the gen 1 pandering in XY. The Yancy sidequest is also pretty hard to complete without prior knowledge to it and the gen 6 stuff could easily be construed as friendships.
And there's always been weird adult stuff in the games.
>>146499262
I did play as Brendan though, but what do you mean extra romancing from steven isn;t he like twice may's age?
I never bothered with the contests.
>>146499407
>isn;t he like twice may's age?
Yes. Which is why you still get paired with Brendan in the end. The Steven stuff is just there because Steven is one of the most popular Pokeboys in the series and most female players would rather fuck him than dweeby Brendan.
>>146499458
Not even gay but I would fuck Steven desu
