Pokemon Special/Adventures

I like it, I remember that I started reading it about 13 years ago. But that was only the Viz-produced volumes so I didn't know anything past RBGY existed until they started publishing the whole series a few years ago.

I had no idea what was the situation with BW2 for a long while so I'm glad they're putting out new chapters again, even though it's been 5 years since the games came out.

I've collected all the VIZ volumes except for BW, XY, and ORAS. Was hoping they'd put out a box set for BW but I guess not. And I'm not a fan of the mini-volumes but if there's no other choice I guess I'll buy them eventually.

RS was my favorite games so that's probably my favorite arc, and Ruby is my favorite character.

Why is Gold's team so shitty? He's got one good pokemon and that's it.

I hope that Moon is the "protagonist" of the arc. I like her serious attitude.
Also why does this little shit need all that money for?

They're his bros. They don't need to be strong.

/vp/ hates this manga because of two things
>tumblr fandom
>people referring to this manga as "the manga" just like how /a/ would flip their shit seeing other people say naruto is "the anime"

>Do you like it?
Yes but I'm not reading it right now because of inconsistent scans and underdeveloped plots. Not the author fault since the games are coming too fast now, every 2 years

>Favorite arc?
FRLG

>Character?
Diamond

>Battle?
Mirage Kyogre

>"the manga"
I don't think anyone seriously refer to pokespe as "the manga". I mean, it's probably the longest non-gag pokémon manga so it's normal that people refer to it as "the pokémon manga"; but this doesn't mean that the others are shit or irrelevants.
>tumblr fandom
What's wrong with them? I follow some artists, but I don't see cancerous stuff like with SU that would make someone go "If these are the fans this series must be shit."

We can all agree thar Ruby/sapphire arc is the best arc right?

>>155786255
If you ignore the final deux ex machina sure.
I'm not even mad about Celebi saving the day , but if you wanted to return everything to the status quo avoid doing all that damage to main characters and use the power in a lower scale.

Why does /vp/ hate it?

I really loved the earlier arcs. Read up until Mewtwo vs Deoxys fight.
Has there been a Heart Gold / Soul Silver arc yet?

>>155786190
Hugh already unmasked whit2 as the plasma girl in the first try, lack2 is a failure.

>>155786890
>>155784672 kind of explains it.
>Has there been a Heart Gold / Soul Silver arc yet?
Yes, is where OP pic comes from.
It's basically "Stop Team Rocket from getting their hands on Arceus while covincing Arceus to not blow up the world."

>>155784672
Wrong, /vp/ hates the manga because is "not canon". They cannot understand the idea thay a franchise can have multiple canons that are only that to themselves.

>>155786988
But for the same logic the anime isn't canon too.
I think it's simply popular to hate it there.

>>155784452
If you had the chance to get away from the games' terrible balancing, you'd make a weird team too.

>>155787018
The ashnime is only canon to itself, just as the games and the manga are to themselves. /vp/ cannot understand this idea, they threat pokemon as a whole as just one big canon.

>Whit2 (that now knows that the pendant is important shit) panics and tries to KO everyone with spore

Lack2 couldn't find her for shitloads of chapters, hugh does on his first try.

>>155785509
In the games I never got the impression that the Island Challenge amulet was rare or special.

>>155787159
He just assumes it is worth a lot, it is never actually stated how much it is worth,

>>155787159
Is not, Sun was tricked into thinking it is due to the normalfags commentaries about it (they mean it has a honor value).

>>155785509
Sun is a retard? Look at his fucking eyes.

>>155784672
>Diamond
Really? He's the most boring lead imo, Emerald is still the worst.

>>155787301
He is an annoying moneyfag, unless there is money, he doesn't give a shit.

I don't go to /vp/ very often but last time I looked they loved the manga.

It's a decent series. I prefer the earlier stuff, as I started reading it during the Yellow arc, but can't be helped. I think I dropped it during Daimond and Pear because terrible fucking scans.

The Emerald arc was crap though: crappy crap.

>>155787921
I agree, Ruby really is the best girl!

I always say pokespe isn't that edgy, but it has its moments.
Pic realted is one of the cooler ones.
I still don't understand what the author wanted to do with this scene. Those are the legendaries that appears in DPP, but what happened to the original ones? Did the first Dialga, Palkia and Giratina die long time ago and only new Arceus decided to replace them?

>>155788426
Those ARE the original creation trio, is a stable time loop: arceus create them at that time, after all ended they went back in time and ended in sinoh.

>>155788496
Are you sure?
I think the chapter implies that HeartGold/SoulSilver is a prequel to the Diamon/Pearl arc and that those are newborn legendaries.

>>155788623
Is a prequel, but not in the way you think.

>>155788670
So you're saying that the Shinjou Ruins are in a temporal bubble at the beginning of time? So how does this work with what Price said about it collapsing the space-time once?

>>155785629
>We will never see poor little White get thoroughly BLACKED

It hurts

>>155786255
Yes.

>>155788762
White will be blacked at the end of BW2.

>>155784161
> /vp/ has an hateboner for this series
why its literally just edge mon and more faithful to the video game rules then the anime.
Which one is the best on I've read from red to the middle of gold but I know there connected somehow is this the case with the rest of them if you read all of them please rank them.
also have any of you heard of pic-related for years I've wanted this translated but it'll probably never happen.

Man pokemon really has one of the best character designs(games and Manga) in all the anime I watched and the plot is amazing too, too bad they wont write the anime seriously, we could have had amazing storylines, real character development and a good power ranking discussions if they took the pokemon anime seriously and different MC every region.

>>155784452
I actually cleared Heartgold with this team, wasn't too difficult. Ambipom is surprisingly good PvE

>>155791090
the sad thing is that it'd be really easy but the format they have now has been going on so long maybe they think its more marketable.

You haven't been to reddit and tumblr then. Purists in /vp/ and Serebii are mad that most Pokespe readers don't acknowledge or read the other Pokemanga titles.

>>155787348
I like Diamond because he's serious when it needs to be yet retains a fun outlook in life. Quite different from edgemasters like Green, Blue, and Silver.

That's how he defrosted the ice queen Platinum and reined in the hothead Pearl.

>>155786255
Ruby might have been my favorite character if he didn't turn into a flaming faggot in ORAS.

Still got the best moment in pokespe history though

Too bad there's no chance of everyone ever getting together

Red's Pikachu must be legendary by now. Can't wait for him and Green to show up on the Battle Tree.

>>155792268
Doesn't excuse how shit everything else is

>>155792354
I'm over it now though. Emerald was decent in ORAS. Long past the disappointment of it not being Wally.

>>155792423
Yes it was a very shocking improvement for him

Too bad Ruby and Sapphire dropped in quality

Red and Blue came back in ORAS and Green in XY, the only one missing from the Kanto kids is Yellow. Maybe she's with Red in the new arc and will teach Moon new healing techniques.

>>155792680
I haven't read the Sun and Moon arc yet, is she from Viridian too?

>>155784452
Most Johtomons are shitty, and he needed an iconic Johtomon team that doesn't cut into the aces of other important Johto characters.

>Politoed
Contrasts with Red's Poliwrath to show that they're alike in being main characters, but take vastly different paths.
>Typhlosion
Typhlosion is a fire type, which works perfectly with Gold's color scheme, and picking it means his edgy rival Silver has the menacing Feraligatr. Meganium is a fag.
>Sunflora
Happy-go-lucky like Gold, and it rounds out the grass-fire-water core of the team.
>Ambipom
Unorthodox trickster, much like Gold.
>Sudowoodo
>Togekiss
These go without saying, since they're iconic parts of gen 2 that most players will add to their team.

>>155792740
Moon is from poké-Korea, but she's a pharmacist and Yellow is "the healer" so I'm sure she could teach her something.
