Pokemon Special vol 9


After far too many troubles and delays, the Pokemon Special Restoration Project is proud to release its first volume, volume 9. It's the Chuang Yi translation copied onto Japanese raws, so it's properly scanned and reads right-to-left.

More people are always welcome on the team, as long as you pass my tests.

  1. Woohoo!

    And volume 37 comes out today (it's Friday in Japan if I recall)...and I just found scans of the very first chapter of the BW chapter (the previous one was the third chap)

  3. I already made it clear that the number system of BW is unknown

  4. @/a/non

    I meant by release time

    not the actual number (although judging by the chapter this may in fact be number 1)

  5. If you're implying that I'll translate it, the answer is no.

  6. Good thing that that wasn't the implication and that I just wanted more people to be aware of it, huh :P?

  9. Oh yea, we're also flipping Blue and Green back (Blue = girl, Green = rival).

  10. Ohh, thank you! Gotta see what kind of scanlation I have because at a certain point it's Viz...and it's confusing to switch from right-to-left reading to left-to-right reading T_T So thank you for doing this project :3

  11. @a/non But aren't you going to be doing the magazine chapters every month (starting from this month) 'til it gets too much? Because if you are, you will be doing that, since the chapter that Michaelf1993 and JB2448 were linking to is part of one of this month's chapters. If memory serves I believe Pokefan comes out this month which means we'll get a total of 3 new BW chapters.

    Anyways, thanks for this! I'm really glad me giving you guys the RAWs a while back helped to bring about a whole Special translation revival. :) It'll be so nice to have little to no error free, Blue as girl Green as boy, right to left scans for ALL of Special, not just parts.

    And looking forward to your volume 37 RAWs and scans as soon as you get the magazine! Looks to be an exciting volume with the unexpected you-know-who appearing at the end....

  12. Eerk, damn typos. I meant looking forward to volume 37 when you get the VOLUME, not the magazine. Am looking forward to the magazine chapters too if you get them this month though. Heck, even just raws for magazine chapters is good enough for me, although I do love your translations when you can do them. xD

  13. This is not a chapter. This is a stupid half-demo thing that doesn't fit anywhere. I'm only doing Shogaku Yonensei

  14. Actually, Coronis said it IS an actual chapter. It fits in perfectly after the chapter with Araragi and the three starters, since she said they would be coming by the next day to get them. And, quite a few important things happened in this chapter, don't let the Corocoro Ichiban pages online full you. That was only the first 8 pages, or a preview, since they still want people to buy the actual magazine itself. As for why the chapter is so important, it's the chapter that Black gets his starter and his Pokedex in. You also find out Belle and Cheren are supposed to be the other Dexholders as Araragi personally knows and trusts them, and that they get the other starters too. (Belle grabs them first, and picks Oshawott herself and forces Cheren to have Snivy) You also find out Cheren and Belle are close friends of Black's, and are the ones who talked Araragi into letting him get a starter and becoming a Dexholder, since she didn't know him beforehand. After all the chaos Black did this chapter though she wasn't so sure, and said that Black would have to prove himself, which he did in a battle. Then he flew away with the starter and Pokedex before Araragi could even say what she thought. xD If you don't believe me you can read Coronis' in-depth summary of the chapter in the January Plot Discussion thread on Serebii.

    Tl; dr. If you don't want to do the chapter that's fine. I understand that this is luxury and you don't want to buy too many magazines because it would bleed you dry. I also understand (now, at least) that you are only doing Shogaku Yonensei. But to say the chapter is not a real chapter that doesn't fit in anywhere is completely false.
    P.S. Sorry if this double-posts, trying to comment it but having trouble for some reason. ;P

  15. It is half of a chapter and thus not a chapter

    ReplyDelete
  16. And I still don't know where it is exactly

    ReplyDelete
  17. Oh no no, I know the website didn't put up enough to bother on translating. xD ^___^ They only put up the first few pages so that isn't even enough to even bother with on translating. Not to mention the scans aren't as good as your scans anyway. ;P I was just saying it is an actual full chapter, not that you should translate it. ;P

    And....the website with the preview or the chapter? If you mean the website it's in the link JB gave a few comments up, and if you mean the magazine it's in Corocoro Ichiban. No idea where to buy it though.

  18. wow. thx a lot again. btw, i just saw the great volume. there is one thing that i think might make it better, maybe u can use burn tool to make the noise on the black parts of the manga to become clear, it just a minor thing, but, it would be great if u can do that. thx :)

  19. You mean leveling/curving on Mudazumo vol 5? That's not done until scanlation.

    ReplyDelete
  20. no, i mean on this scan. for the leveling, it's good, but the black part, there are some noises that could be removed by using burn tool. but, it's okay. thx a lot :). the quality is already good. :)

    ReplyDelete
  21. Oh, the raw came that way. I thought that it would unwise to level/curve again because I don't have the original scan to decide how it would look, but I left the choice up to the individuals team members.
