Unless they stop before the past Dexholders return...
I don't think they will. They'll probably just publish it as it is the book, spoilers/plotholes/whatever-you-want-to-call-it and all.
But they said that Volume 14 will be added the GSC Saga conclusion from Volume 15. I don't think they're doing it without a reason.
Exactly!
Yes they will. The very panel that references it tells us what happened most of the time in adventures.
True, but they will still wonder where it comes from though. And be spoiled.
The most this will do is interest you in buying the older volume when it actually comes out.
Also true, but you have to remember that's an
if, not a when. And actually even if we do end up getting them, we'll probably only get the Ruby/Sapphire arc since Viz only seems to be interested in releasing arcs pertaining to current/recent games.
Fans honestly overreact. You guys seriously make things over complicated. Please this isn't a hard concept to grasp.
I don't think it's too much of an over-reaction. Viz is being unprofessional and it is annoying/worrying. There's still no guarantee we'll get the arcs, and even if we do it's annoying we'll have to wait even longer for them. It's also annoying that new fans will have to wait on reading the older arcs (or possibly not get to read them at all), and that they'll get major spoilers from the last two DP volumes as well. It's not that we don't understand the concept or that we're making this over-complicated (or trying to), we're just annoyed by it. Just because you support a release of something and/or a company doesn't mean you have to like everything about it and understand and like everything they do.
Consumers aren't stupid they'll just be like Oh okay.
Oh I definitely agree that consumers aren't stupid, but that still doesn't excuse them doing this to us. And I wouldn't be so sure. I'm sure they will be some consumers who'll be annoyed at being spoiled and then having to wait to get the volumes, if they even get them at all.
^^I only wish that Viz saw this coming. This sort of thing is not to be done on purpose.
It definitely wasn't done on purpose. And well, if Viz had actually be paying attention to what was in the volumes then they would have. Volumes 37 and 38 both came out before their first DP volume did, and had they have noticed beforehand they could have just cancelled the release 'til they could finish releasing the arcs before it.
The following images are very big. Just throwing that out there.
Don't forget that silhouettes of Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald and older FRLG! Red, Blue, Yellow, Green and Silver were shown in volume 37 as well. Admittedly that isn't as big as the volume 38 spoilers, but I could see it confusing fans who don't know better.
No not really they just keep reading and backtrack later. hey can always re-read these events when they do get released.
The thing is fans might not be able to backtrack later though. (if Viz doesn't release the older arcs) And even if they do release them at some point it doesn't change the fact that the fans won't be able to read them for quite some time.
I guess if they were fans enough to know it's an ongoing they could just hold off reading till the new books are out.
True, but the thing is the fans who don't know won't hold off, and those are the ones it'll be a problem for.
Trying to three different arcs at the same time is kinda tough,so I actual see why Viz might be doing it.In my personal opinion,I think that they might publish the RS arc wide edition that`s currently being published in Japan to make it look better instead of ruining the arc by adding a chapter from the next vol to the current volume that is out.
Don't they have different teams working on each arc though? And I still don't think Viz will release the wide bans, but I guess we'll see.
A smaller market that will buy the Ruby and Sapphire arc will be ignored in favor of kids who will buy anything with the familiar Pokemon from Black and White on it.
I wouldn't be so sure of that. If kids are fans of the series they'll be likely to buy any of the books.
In fact, the fact that the older volumes sold well enough for Viz to decide to translate more than one arc at once goes to show that their target demographic is willing to buy the older volumes too.
They got a hold of BW early, this guys have the resources, they're just freaking lazy.
BW is being released via magazines in Japan though, so it's not
that surprising they were able to get their hands on it to release it.
