Today in Pokemon Manga

About Reburst, it...looks kinda stupid, to be honest. The dude combines with his Pokemon, like in one of the later seasons of Digimon:

Since Pokemon Special is already effectively weekly (it isn't actually weekly, but it acts as if it is), I cannot pick up another weekly. If you look at my past year, I've only translated about 200 chapters. After April 2011, I will be translating:

By myself:
Pokemon Specialabout weekly
Mudazumo Naki Kaikakubiweekly
Noririnbiweekly
7o3xmonthly
Ryuushika Ryuushikamonthly
With FTH:
Kaibutsu Oujomonthly
Demon 72bimonthly
With Animexis:
Nanika Mochigattemasu kabimonthly
????? ?????ended; 10 chapters
With Shini-Tan:
Kazumi Magicamonthly
Oriko Magica?not serialized


If you add up all of the estimated number of chapters (weekly = 52 chapters, biweekly = 26, monthly = 12, bimonthly = 6), you get 164. The actual amount is smaller, because of breaks, especially with Mudazumo (about a break every 3 chapters). Also, this doesn't take into account the page rates of each manga. Nevertheless, that leaves barely enough room for Pokemon Reburst. I would rather dedicate that space to other (ended) manga, and other hobbies.

The only conceivable ways in which I would pick up Reburst is if 1) I go crazy or 2) an overwhelming majority of fans want me to drop Special and pick up Reburst. Both of them seem fairly unlikely at this moment. Besides, if there is a overwhelming majority, then a bigger group would've already picked it up.

I would be willing to mentor (but not directly lead or manage) a new group if someone else gathers enough dedicated members, including another translator.

Anyways, back to Special, it seems that the last issue was a big fat lie. It is continuing in Shogaku Yonensei. The notice that I cut out did say that it was ending, but I guess it just meant that the arc is ending, not the entire serialization. I think that this is another arc of BW.

    ReBURST looks (and sounds) a bit stupid. . .and how the hell will combining with pokemon fit into the story and world setting? How does that even happen? I could see with digimon (the kids being actually data in a digital world, so combining and/or modifying their data makes them digimon) but with pokemon?
    Pokespe is awesome. /a/non is awesome. Thats all there is too it.
    Keep up the good work, and thank you very much for what you do, I am very grateful for the pokespe scans as I'm sure many others are.

    I know nothing about Reburst. It would be better to keep Special since I know and like it. But that's just my opinion.

    I always imagine that they will make the trainer will fight alongside their trainer using weapon and magic power like in final fantasy.

    Since I want the trainer come into action too. Not just standing and doin' nothing. But, oh well, this manga only make 20% of my imagination become true

    Heck Yes! I love digimon. I like the illustrations in Reburst, a little bit cliche for shounen but not pokemon- it's well drawn and the character designs are nice, a bit compact, older. I think the pokemon community is so used to the same thing, "Change badaad!" xDD Anyway, I see you're busy busy busy. But if you find the time, I'd really enjoy it!
