this chapter was..."uh?"
we only know sun is a moneyfag and no sights of Lillie, kusaka can't cut her away, she is too important!

>>30314846
He can do whatever he wants, my dude.

Thanks for the storytime OP, I appreciate it

Special is always fun. How often do new chapters come out? Would you consider storytiming them as they come like they do on /co/?

And if not I may do it sometime, what's the best way?

Why you guys wanted so hard for them to be siblings?

Never really been the one to read the manga, but I'll try to keep up with this. Thanks OP.

what a stupid gimmick, making him a jew
as if that's not done to death already

>>30314872
Please do this. Keep track on it for us.

I feel like there's gonna be some sort of twist as to Moon's identity. She was bitching about not really liking Alola or the tropical clothes

>inb4 she's from Sinnoh

>>30315086

Not OP, but would you read if there were storytimes more often here? There is a lot of material after all, since christmas is coming I might try my hand at storytiming some Special once a week or so, from the start

>>30315132
>inb4 he is a jew for lillie

>>30315134
Nope, she is from kanto, if sun is the local boy, then she must fit the MC role of being from kanto.

is it better if I download all of pokespe in their(lavander) site or just use random manga site rips?

>>30315186
>Nope, she is from kanto, if sun is the local boy, then she must fit the MC role of being from kanto.

I don't think Sun is the local boy, or at least wasn't born there. Look at the first page, he's gushing over how rare alolan meowth are and said he wanted to go there somewhere.

Sun is probably from Kanto with family in Alola and moved later on

I kinda like the jew gimmick though. I am amused by how he named his Litten after money

>>30315186
But Sun isn't a local. Did no one pay attention to the first page?
NEITHER OF THEM ARE LOCAL

the clothes don't suit her because she's actually a boy

>>30315227
>>30315235
Well, i admit defeat.
Anyway, all what want is lillie, WHERE THE FUCK IS SHE?!

>>30315249

NEVER EVER
E
V

R

Give it five chapters at most m8, or at least until they introduce Kukui

But no, really, anyone knows the release schedule? Is it weekly?

>>30315274
monthly, BW2 has a two weeks format and digital, which means translations will come out much faster.

so which one of them will get possesed in ultra space?
will either of them become rock 2.0

Is not a good idea to do pokespecial story time in /vp/ unless is with a chapter that just came out like this time.

>>30315583

We all must pay a price for having fun, I guess

So Special is the big deal, but there are many other pokemon comics and mangas to storytime.

Special could happen every wednesday or friday and on other/special days the shorter ones like Pokemon Ranger and Phantom Thief

But what is the best site to find scans and what is the best way to put them here?

>>30315637
Dude, seriously, unless is with a completely new chapter, is not a good idea.

>>30315630

Why not?

If it's because there are people that don't like it, those are not big news, really. There are other threads.

>>30315627
Eurogamer is literally trash though. This is a fact.
I don't mean all of Europe.
You still have Italy. Italy is still good.

>>30315659
Is English not your first language or something?

>>30315664
Best case scenario: thread falls to page 10
Worst case (and more possible) scenario: you have faggots screaming edgy or "non-canon" because they believe pokemon only has one big canon that has everything, which is not true.

>>30315705
No, is not, but usually only grammar nazies call me out.

>>30315706

>Best case scenario: thread falls to page 10

open thread with phone, post images on desktop, should keep it bumped. And even if no one replies hey, it's an attempt, although that'd mean I probably wouldn't bother with the rest

>Worst case (and more possible) scenario: you have faggots screaming edgy or "non-canon" because they believe pokemon only has one big canon that has everything, which is not true.

Probably true, but despite everything I really do want to believe that /vp/ can not be shit sometimes. I mean, there is the "/vp/ watches pokemon" thread that goes on once a week and I don't think people shitpost it to death.

You'd be surprised by how many times you expect something to be shitposted to death but if it survives the first few waves it's smooth sailing

>>30315249
Why? She'll be completely different from the games most likely.

>>30314544
BASED

>>30315562
>implying the name is relevant
I'm not buying that stars thing (is more likely SM2 or similar) but who cares is about next game itself not the name

i'm gonna laugh when all he wants is a new pair of super expensive shoes

>>30315815
What? the only character that was truly different from its game self was shauna and i don't give a shit about her...or the other kalos fags.

>>30314500
Wow, I thought this was the male PC.

>>30315896
It is.

>>30315896
What? that is the male PC!

Welp, that was kind fun.
Now if only HE WILL FINISH GODDAMN B2W2

>implying based Hidenori won't make up his own bullshit again

>>30315886
White was pretty different. Same with N and Bianca (I think)

>>30315682
>Italy is good
In what world? It's a 3rd world piece of shit.

Are Americans really this stupid or do they always comment on countries they've never been to?

>>30315815
Whatever it is, will be better than her ashnime counterpart.

>>30315940
PC don't count, remember they don't have personalities to begin with and kusaka always uses the "all the pc were chosen" so disheard any small role a PC has when the players chooses the other.

>>30314593

>>30315947
So basically you're admitting that Europe is shit.
Because if you legitimately think that places like the U.K., France, Spain and Germany are worth anything then you must be delusional.
I was at least giving you Italy out of pity because it has good food and interesting culture and history, but if you insist that that doesn't matter I will gladly say that Europe is irredeemable trash.

>>30316022
Yes. No Bully. So do pokemon special male trainers all start with the fire type? Since Black is kinda dead and I know not the status of Lack2/Whi2 I'm going to assume those really are their names

>>30316112

No, their starter type tend to vary

Red had a Poliwhirl as his first pokemon and later got Bulbasaur, in fact I don't think he had a fire type at all until much later

Ruby had a poochyena and a skitty first, then got Mudkip

DP had all 3 be protagonists so it doesn't really count, but Platinum was more main character-y than the others and had Empoleon

>>30314612
Team Swole.

Is Black still trapped in the Light stone? Because holy shit do he and White suffer compared to the other protagonists.

Dropped.

>>30316453
No need for that, they are culling their own children regularly.

>>30314482
It's the first chapter, they're introducing the 2 main characters. There is 0 doubt that Hau and Lillie will show up later. The question is if they'll be like Tierno and Shauna, or like Cheren and Bianca.

>>30316258
Red got frozen with lingering frostbite that made him lose a gym spot then got turned into stone for a bit.

Black will be fine at the end.
Fucked out of his lifelong goal and losing two years of life as well as side effects from being transmutated, needing to repair his friendship with Cheren after getting interrupted with Team Plasma beforehand, and possible lack of rest after BW2 due to being a missing person and a hero. But, he will be more respected and stronger than if the arc's tragedies didn't happen.
Wow poor kid really did suffer needlessly.

zzzzzzz

>>30316471
they were both necessary for his theme

>>30314596
That Rotom looks very interested in the Pokedex

>>30316471

>>30316555
Your trips confirm it, The same for White

>Got NTR'd by N
>Got thrown out of a ferris wheel
>Start to git gud
>Start to develop feelings for that boy who you shackled with debt
>Boy reveals he was planning on advertising your company once he became champion
>Gets sealed in a stone

Then there's Shuana, bad shit just constantly keeps happening to her

So which Starter will Moon get? Rowlett or Popplio?
I'm guessing that Sun will do the trials to get cash.

>>30314482
That's good news for both actually. I'm sure Hau and Lillie are already in enough fanfiction as it is.

>>30316919

>>30316722
>>30316542
What's with those two in XY? Never read it.
I know Cheren and Bianca got phased out for most of it.

>>30314482
No Hau? Damn. Is that permanent?

>>30316964
Trevor was pretty prominent throughout the entire XY arc, got to be the narrator and everything. Shauna and Tierno were also tagging along throughout, but Tierno didn't do much.

>>30316989
>expecting every character to show up in the first chapter

Hau doesn't even show up in-game until 20 minutes in.

>>30316858
>yvonne got fennekin
I am positive that Y's starter was Greninja

>>30316989
I honestly can't think of any Game character that HASN'T shown up in Pokemon Special. Kusaka always finds a way to shove them all in somehow, thankfully it doesn't feel too forced most of the time.

>Sun has Litten AND Meowth
I personally think the manga does a much better job than the anime when it comes to distribution of starters and the protagonists team but...
>two cats
>two dark types

Huh?

>>30317041
Ah fuck, you're right. She's probably getting the Owl with cross-dressing seal going to either Kukui or Lillie when she gets her shit together

>>30317073
It's weird, but I'm willing to excuse this since he has a money theme going on and I like the En pun.

I just hope he doesn't evolve Meowth into Garfield.

>>30317150
Well, it all depends if Persian can still use Pay Day in special canon. If it can't, Kusaka might make us of it so Sun can't get money just by using Meowth.

Is the entirety of the DPPtHGSS arc scanned online? I stopped right there and I'm looking to catch up again.

What a shitty manga. Thank god I dropped this

>>30314482
I'm fucking calling it now.
Hau will show up later, and since Sun already has Chicken, he will bang Lillie.

>>30317325
all of fourth gen should be up, check batoto or jb2448

>like Black before him, Sun will be trapped forever in something, like the Ultra Space
IT ALL COMES TOGETHER!!!!

>Anime always uses the trainwreck that is ash, gives him a horrible balanced team in terms of types and theming. Ash always gets the cool starter along with a super apecial snowflake gimmick for them with the exception of when he gets all three which ends with one always getting ultra cucked
>manga tries to depict everything from the games and almost always gives the protagonists the "strong-looking starter"

The manga is such a bro, I'm glad chesnaught got something in the XY arc after being completely shafted on everywhere else, especially pokemon media and spinoffs

>>30317736
Nihilego coma

>>30317098
I'd guess shes getting popplio and hau will get the owl making him more prominent in the plot (like dp).

Lillie wont have any pokemon. I'm 85% certain masked royal will have incineroar (tfw there is no way to give him this in the games without shelving popplio into hau)

>>30317073
>>two dark types
That's nothing. Silver uses THREE water types just so that they can each use a different HM.
And Blue/Green (the girl) used 4 Normal types, and 3 of them now turn out to be Fairy types.

>>30314520
>Moon hates the tropics and her clothes
Truly best girl.

>>30317498
I start to doubt that. Lillie is pretty much promoted heroine of SM with all the merch (unlike N where its just teasing). If Kusaka wrote her off the story, let alone pair her with other characters than MC, there will be a somekind of older fandom's backlash.

>>30317749

Lillie is the deuteragonist of SM. If Gabby & Ty got EXPANDED roles back in RS, there's no way that Lillie would get removed.

>>30317855
Please.
Kusaka ALWAYS goes for Male/Female protagonist pairings. He actually killed off Bianca and Yancy just to have that. Lillie having a bigger role means nothing to Kusaka's autism.

No, but Yancy was a girl Lack2 dated just because he was "investigating her". Dumped in pretty much the first chapter, never appeared again.
Bianca has LESS screentime compared to the games.

>>30318107
There is literally
LITERALLY
no reason to be. This is the very first chapter.

>>30318074
They aren't dead it's just that Black and Bianca have no romantic interest in each other and Lack2 breaks up with Yancy at the beginning of the story. Through Lack2 and Whi2 are not a couple one's part of interpol and the other is a former Team Plasma member and N fanatic

She's also in love with the real Bla2, while once bla2 finds out she's the plasma girl, he won't stand being around her. And drop his casanova facade and become real Bla2 permanently, leading to generic anime romance plot #8.

>>30318172
Whi2 is completely in love with Lack2 though. It's just a matter of time.
And what triggered me was how irrelevant Bianca was. Even if she wasn't Black's love interest, she deserved more screentime.

>>30318032
He also completely scraped the relationship between N and Hilbert.
Lillie is either dying, or he's taking Hau's crush on her and making them a couple. Nothing can stop Kusaka now.

Is it worth it to buy the manga? I like pokespe and now that I have some spare cash, I'd like to buy those sexy box sets. Did viz mess with the manga or anything I should know before buying them?

>>30318255
Proof? This is the first I've heard of that.

>>30318263
To be honest both sides are the real Lack2 poor kid just doesn't realize it, he's been acting more and more like his facade even on duty, I do like that he's actually capable of and tries to fight Pokemon with his partner

>>30318280
>Scrap n and black relationship
What? Is still here, N still stalks him, started to doubt thanks to him, battle him with the dragons, lose and gobaway saying goodbye.

>>30318303
I think the pokeball tits thing from the yellow arc was edited but other than that I don't think they've made any real changes to the manga. I own all of them. Except one volume I seem to have missed.

The half sized BW/BW2/XY shit is frustrating though. Doesn't look good next to the rest of the series and then they started selling full sized volumes later which created an overlap issue for me.

At least he and Gladion are funny together.

>>30319168
But it is. Hau is one dimensional as fuck even by Pokemon standards, I don't think he added anything to a single scene he was in.

>>30319133
That one time they try to shed some light on Hau's character was pretty good. The whole "I just wanna prove myself to Grandpa" thing was pretty nice.
With Gladion, I took him seriously until "Get Out" then I couldn't stop laughing at him

>>30319168
You're right. It's not. The reason Gladion is better than Hau is because he had other character traits.

>>30319203
He was your rival. Thats about as much as he needs to add. He gets plenty of character growth in that he gets good, as evidenced by him challenging your champion position implying he finally bested his grandpa

>>30319366
He's not your rival. Even the game's code says he's not your rival. He's your "friend".

Gladion is the rival.

Yeah, that always pissed me off about the BW arc.

Regardless of title though, fact remains that hau had a rival role and his character is shown to have positive growth.

>>30319425
>bunch of memes

>>30319383
They're both the rival. You've had the pushover rival and power creep asshole duo since gen5

>>30318032
Yeah, thats something really bothers me. Sure, it works perfectly in RS, but its not always the best route to go with EVERY arc. Especially in stuff like BW where it comes at the expense of major characters from the games (that I also happen to really like) like Cheren and Bianca.

>>30319454
He had positive growth? Was that before or after he feels frustrated at losing to me for the 10th time? Or before and after he vows not to be a pushover after failing to prevent Lillie from being kidnapped and then being absolutely irrelevant after?

>>30318032
>>30319544
He made it a threesome in DPPt

>>30319463
What was the power creep rival in 6? Serena/Calem both felt like pushovers until the post game.

Your description applies to gen 3 and 5 at most

>>30319558
After he challenges you for the champion title.

>>30319577
That's because XY was an extremely easy game to go through.

>>30319607
I admittedly haven't done that yet. What does he do?

The best rival was undeniably silver, especially with HGSS story additions.

>double battle with him teaming up with you against claire and lance
>his team is severely underleveled in comparison to lance and he has a crobat
That fucking shit was so subtle and it was the most moving shit. For a pushover with big talk he genuinely learns his lesson. REAL character development.

Would you lick Lillie's dirty, unclean butthole for 2 hours?

>>30319573
Hated that. Should've been Diamond-Platinum. But at least diamond isn't a rock I guess.

>>30319544
Gen 7's the anti-pattern gen (supposedly) so there's always a chance things will be different.

>>30319649
Hes just one of the possible challengers. Which is cool because it implies that he finally bested Hala.

Also it feels like you ignore many other prominent points. He doesn't beat hala the first time but he does beat the other kahunas and also uses the z-ring

It makes me sad knowing the adult, sexy Red will still have that retarded personality and hair in the manga, and Green will still never smile.

>>30319573
You get my point, though.
He doesn't always need to force the make/fame PC relationship, especially when a couple games have more interesting options. SM is one of those times, as theres a lot that can be done with Lillie.

I just was really disappointed with the direction BW and BW2 went overall.

Can someone explain to me what the frick the point is of Ash being 10 for fucking ever? Why the nipples frick cant he age??? Exactly how has he blown through all these major continents and challenges in only about ~6 months from season 1 until now? It's completely unrealistic even by high fantasy standards.

Yall niggas think Greninja is going to make an appearance in the Alola League?

>>30319728
...that was supposed to be male/female
I don't know how I failed that hard with my typing

>>30319728
>especially when a couple games have more interesting options
Only as of later gens. Lillie is definite in that regard just because of how much she's in your face, but that's honestly the only BIG circumstance and SM hasn't even gotten past chapter 1 yet. There's not much that could have been done romance-wise with Bianca, Shauna or Yancy, certainly not to the degree that it would feel wasted potential if he didn't go for them. The games exist if you want to waifufag specifics.

Though Bianca did get gypped on screentime in general, but that's an issue of the arc itself.

So which rival is going to suffer the most? Hau or Gladion?

>>30319728
While I get that they could've done bianca and Yancy better, I think the way they went with BW really helped that arc ending. If black just won and got the girl, it wouldn't have been nearly as good. Also, mindbreaking white is the reason half the people reading it keep reading it.

>30319729
>frick
OUT OF THIS THREAD

>>30319728
None of those girls have much going for them at all though. Shauna is relevant for all of one cutscene, Yancy is completely optional, and Bianca is not really there for romance.

Compare this to Lillie who both has massive amounts of screentime, interaction with the MC, and extremely blatant shipteasing on both ends of the spectrum.

>>30319728
>as theres a lot that can be done with Lillie
That's true.

But does she really need to be forced onto Sun for that to happen? I don't think so. See: Serena/Ash

>>30319903
I actually liked the way they made Shauna in the Manga. I hope they take a similar route with Lillie and Hau

So how dark is the manga's story going to get? Considering game's story is already pretty dark.

>>30319726
Manga Red is great though

>>30319904
I don't think the manga suffers from the reasons the anime is bad.

>>30319843
>>30319903
>>30319904

Oh no, Yancy has nothing to do with why I find BW2 disappointing. I actually don't care about her at all. I got bored with that sidequest and never completed it.

But Bianca and Cheren got super gypped. Could have done SO much more with both of them.

Meanwhile, it feels like Lillie was blatantly made to be a love interest, and the only thing keeping them from going through with it was the fact that the PC can be male or female.

>>30319990
Sun gets both Moon and Lillie as romantic interests. Then he gets eaten by a guzzlord or trapped in the armor of Solgaleo and moon breaks down while tsundere Lillie goes to Kanto to figure out how to save her man.

>>30319904
You're assuming romance always have to be forced. Just because we know two characters are definitely going to end up together doesn't mean the romance is forced.
Serena/Ash is shit because there was no romance. Serena loved Ash because of shit reason, her whole personality was that she wanted Ash's dick, and Ash didn't feel anything special for her. It was shit on so many levels.

>>30320028
My hope is they get their screen time trying to rehab black. Especially since Cheren hadn't resolved his issues with black yet

HOW LONG HAS BLACK BEEN IN THE FUCKING STONE.

It's like Casca/the boat ride all over again

2 years I believe. I'm not 100. Imagine being White in those 2 years

>>30320161
Yes?

>>30319728
I enjoyed BW but my gripes were last chapter and handling Cheren and Bianca.
Especially fucking them over by having Bianca's Pokemon not evolve or Cheren being out for a long as time (second badge fight?) until league. Bet they ain't going to appear much in BW2.
Why did Black have to ditch them every other time?
>>30319854
Break Hau's smile, Gladion would get better.
>>30320133
Two or three years I guess. When did issue run chapter 624 release?
I still think it's sort of contrived.

>>30320249
>>30320258
Being less stupid compared to Ash isn't a deal. But he's always smiling and oblivious to most things personality is the same as Ash. He's just far less annoying because he isn't completely retarded, and actually strong.

I always saw Manga Red as a nice contrast to Redgy and now Roidred so I don't really care

>>30320259
>Why did Black have to ditch them every other time?
Yeah, that really bothered me. The three of them were supposed to be super close. Unlike the XY group, the PC, Cheren and Bianca actually felt like they were really friends. And to see that relationship shafted in the BW never sat well with me.

>>30320302
That's a prototypical shonen personality.

>>30320329
That's actually how I imagine him in the games. Look at how Red is always portrayed in official media (Manga, Origins), it's not even close to the the deviantautist shit

Fan intepretations are almost always shit

>>30320259
I think that ending was refreshing. Kusaka was obviously given the go ahead because BW had a sequel. So a sad ending for a series was a calculated risk.
As for ditching Bianca and Cheren, it's in his character. Especially considering Bianca doesn't really want to be a trainer . He has no real reason to stick around and not fulfil his dream of winning the pokemon league

>>30320341
They were use to show how one minded is black, he made a promise to them and completely forgot cuz muhvdream. But this is also to show how much has grown blater, as he did remembered a promise he made to white.

>>30320249
Deal with crippling guilt and self-hatred, but do best to keep on living for the sake of both their dreams. In less than two years, White successfully built up a battling facility that still ties into her own interests and probably rakes up considerable revenue.

SM made the concept canon, kusaka has not excuse.

>>30320341
Though it makes sense since Black's nature was always impulsive and wandering and they were going off on their own individual stuff eventually.
Wish they appeared more really. Makes sense for Bianca to leave with her own ambitions, but they felt a bit forgotten but I'm probably nitpicking.
>>30320384

He's just kind of an ass. That's really all there is to it. He's just kind of a selfish guy, but he's not a bad dude at all.

Actually for the longest time I wondered why I liked Gold so much even thoug he was an asshole and I guess it's just he's pretty genuine and fun.

Also his pool staff capture tricks are fucking rad. One thing I always liked about Special was how the way you throw the pokeball and how you put the pokemon on the field actually MATTERS in battle because positioning and you can actually end a battle in one move this time so you have to be careful

Bruno used fucking nunchucks. It was as stupid as it was cool, and it was pretty damn stupid.

>>30325340
They also had it for sinnoh.

>>30325340
>>30325379

I mean, BW introduced the whole Dream Abilities and radar and shit in-game, so it makes sense for them to reference that as a new ability because it IS an actual new mechanic, like trading, breeding, battling etc

The fuck did DPPt have though? They mentioned something about Each of them being good at determination or grace or whatever the fuck it was at the time, but they were just....traits. Not references to real mechanics.

>>30325441
>>30325379
They had it for Sinnoh and then stopped because the Dex Holders weren't going to interact after that.
Then they had "Dreamers" for BW because there was the concept of a chosen one for plot significance. They also completely dropped plot points in BW so it's probably a moot point anyway.

>>30325441
Remember titles of the lake trio legendaries.

>>30325493
Off course I mean holders by generation. BW will interact with B2W2

So I'll try to find BW scans and make a storytime soon-ish. Only the BW arc because it's a standalone, short and N's Wild Ride is always fun.
