Edit: Clair's outfit remains the same. No changes I could see and I just checked. That's good, maybe will get the Gold and Blue/Green (Girl) pat after all...or not.
Awesome! Thanks for that. Sorry my reply is so late, but I actually did see your edit the day you did it. (just a bit later that day) But I finally got the volume and am very pleased to say there is not a single edit in it. (at least visually) I'm pleasantly surprised since I was worried there might be one or two (with Clair's outfit and Eusine's Suicune speedo-like underwear) but thankfully we didn't get a single one surprisingly. This is good, this means we may
not get anymore after all. As for dialogue edits, I don't believe anything got milded/watered down, but I'll have to double-check later to see for sure. But the good news is this volume was done very well, and we probably won't have to worry for edits for a couple more volumes. We still have the infamous buttpat to worry about, and I believe there is a scene or two with Sabrina in the hotspring that might get edited. (for the most part you don't see cleavage or anything thanks to the water and mist, but there is one scene where you
almost see her butt...) But the good news is after this volume those scenes actually may
not get edited -- but I'll explain that more later in a thread I plan on making later today.
I wouldn't be so sure.
But, I do definitely agree with you that it is still a possibility no doubt.... We'll just have to wait and see.
I like Prof. Oak either way. He's like that the whole FrLg and Emerald arc anyway, for some reason I just assumed it was cause he got older since the old Kanto days, I mean Red and crew were 16 I just assumed Oak was older, but I like both style's and Satoshi does wonderful eye design's They have got to be the best eyes in Pokemon media I've ever seen. Most people aren't even noticeable like I said earlier about Bill and Lt. Surge, you can't really tell there different as with Prof. Elm as well. And while I'll miss the chibi style, the realistic style of Satoshi is a welcomed change.
Same here. I think he looks good both ways. I do agree he looked really good in Mato's art though. It's just with Satoshi his age shows up more. XD And huh! I had never thought of that. =o I can see why you would think that though, like you said they were older and time had passed so it would make sense for Prof. Oak to look older. But I guess Prof. Oak is just so old now he always looks that way. Poor guy, heheh.
And he sure does! His eyes are really amazing and unique. I agree with you, I have never seen eyes like that in Pokemon and they are just really fantastic. And you're right; Bill, Lt. Surge, Prof. Elm, and quite a few others don't look that different at all. And even though a few people like Oak do look a bit more different, I don't think any of them look that bad. They're still pretty good regardless. And yeah! Mato's chibi style was nice but a more realistic style definitely isn't a bad thing. I think both styles are nice and work pretty great for the series. It just works, haha.
No, they didn't change Claire's outfit at all.
Yes, they did change the next volume preview. In the English version it is a two page preview while in the Japanese version had a 1 page preview.
Sweet! Thanks again to you and Platinum fan. for telling me!
And sweet! I'm so glad they kept it! And actually, they didn't change it from the Japanese version -- it's still the exact same. Just starting from volume 10 onward the next volume preview is two pages long.
And out of curiosity, what other volumes had next volume previews before volume 10? I know 9 has a one page preview, but did 8 or any of the others? I have volume 7 and it didn't, so I was just curious if that was a new thing that started when the G/S/C arc started or what.
And, I just got my volume yesterday. I absolutely adored it. It was a really great volume and the translations have gotten
really good. I also liked that Crys' Pokemon nicknames weren't too different from the Chuang Yi ones and how they kept the volume just like the Japanese one. (with no edits too) Heck, even the cover and backcover looked better for some reason. (like I noticed on volume 9 and 10, they didn't seem to shrink the backcover image of the Gym Leaders as much) So I dunno, I'm getting really excited for Viz's releases now. Can't wait for the next volume.
For those of you who don't know what to expect next volume, here are just a
few of the goodies you have to look forward to: Crys' long-awaited battle with Suicune. (won't spoil the results)
Crys' wacky mother finally makes her debut. We get to learn the backstory on Crys' Pokemon, how she got them and why they are so close. Ho-Oh makes a minor appearance, and we learn about it too. (from Eusine) Raikou and Entei finally make their debut as well. Siam and Kurtz are referred to by name next volume, so we'll finally find out what Viz will do with their names as well. (my guess is Siam will stay the same, and they might change Kurtz since it's probably too close to 'Kurt') Janine makes her debut appearance next volume too. We also get to see minor cameos of Red and Sabrina at Mt. Silver, and even get a reappearance from Falkner, Bugsy and Lt. Surge. Speaking of them, we also get to see the Masked Man again and he even gets into a minor battle with someone. Yellow and her uncle finally reappear too. And last but not least, numerous hints are made about Gold and Silver about what happened to them, and you get to see some fairly interesting things too...
That's all I'll tell you for now.
Don't won't to spoil everything. (although I guess I did already spoil a lot ^^; )
Note: I used a full page for that picture of Crys' mom. Had a hard time deciding on a good one so I just went with that page, and there was no way I could crop it and take some of the panels out. xD But if need-be I can take it out later, but I would think as long as I just posted one page and just occasionally do it it would be okay. Otherwise I'll try to mainly just post panels next time.
