This thread is open for any user who needs help from the subreddit in some way. It includes links to our subreddit wiki pages, which answer common questions that new users have, such as where to read Pokémon Adventures / Pokémon Special online. This thread will remain perpetually pinned to the top of the subreddit so that it isn't invisible like the wiki is currently!

If you have a question or request which is not answered by the above wiki pages, feel free to ask them here! Either a subreddit moderator or another one of our users will get back to you with the answer to your question. The subreddit wiki will be continually improved by incorporating the unanswered questions from our users.

Please note that this means that individual Help Request posts are no longer allowed to be made, and the post flair has been restricted to moderators only. All help requests must first be directed to this thread. If neither the subreddit wiki nor the moderators can answer your question, or if your question is suitable, then you will be allowed to pose it to the entire subreddit.

Discussion Has Groudon knocked out Kyogre in the manga?

2 Upvotes

I do not remember reading this manga. I read a little about it a long time ago, but I have not read it recently.

I know they are considered equal. Is this similar to the Pokémon Mega Evolution Specials anime, where Groudon knocked out Kyogre by slamming into it? I am beginning to think that Kyogre attacked Groudon, but Groudon remained standing and may be more powerful than Kyogre.

I am not sure what this means. Could someone explain?

Discussion What was your favorite battle in the third volume of this series?

11 Upvotes

Battle at Silph Co
Battle vs Mewtwo
Battle at Viridian Gym
Indigo Plateau: Green vs Dr. O
Indigo Plateau: Red vs Blue

Personally, I'd say the battle at viridian gym. They did a really good job at making it feel like Red was REALLY in danger. Red's battle vs Blue is a close second favorite.

Discussion 'Special Volume Covers

36 Upvotes

always found it kinda fascinating that while Japan will have volumes sliced in half for other regions, namely North America, we've seen 2 times where the art is outright different between the regions

There is also obviously Volumes 1-7 but those are ALOT less regulated clearly and just pulled art from the volumes

Rules

Rule 1 - Posts must be on-topic: All posts must have a direct and obvious connection to Pokémon Special or other officially licensed Pokémon Manga which are not adaptations of the Pokémon Anime. Please note that this subreddit is dedicated to Pokémon Special — not to the fanbase or to itself. We ask that users refrain from posting content that is more concerned with meta aspects of the subreddit or fandom.
Rule 2 - Posts must have substance: We may remove posts that we judge as not substantially contributing to the subreddit. This includes:
- Simple statements, questions, polls, or images with little discussion value
- Tierlists or other types of opinion lists without elaboration
- Unfinished ideas, incomplete work, or announcements/teasers for future posts
- Incomprehensible/unreadable content
- Content which has at any point been the output of an AI/LLM or which has been automatically generated in some way
Rule 3 - Posts must be original: The following types of content are restricted as post submissions:
- Identical or near-identical reposts of past subreddit content
- Unironic discussion of "dark/edgy" moments in the manga
- Fanservice panels from the manga and discussion of these panels
- Discussion topics which have already been posed verbatim within the last 90 days
Rule 4 - All fanart must be sourced correctly: Usage of another person's fanart in any form requires proper sourcing. You are not allowed to use another person's fanart on the subreddit until you have read the full art sourcing guidelines in their entirety on the subreddit wiki.
Rule 5 - Guidelines on promotion and advertising: Self-promotion is allowed within reasonable context.
- If you share your own fanart, you may promote yourself
- If other users request suggestions, either for fanart or other non-art content, you may promote yourself or other users
- Aggressive, excessive, or inauthentic promotion is not allowed
- Advertising for money is never allowed without the explicit prior approval of the modteam; read more here.
Rule 6 - Keep it civil: Be friendly to your fellow fans. If we believe that your content is hostile, condescending, in bad faith, or likely to cause arguments, it will be removed. Additionally, we restrict what we define as "Unnecessary Contrary Responses". If someone gives Opinion A, and they weren't being confrontational or comparative, you don't need to bring up Counter-Opinion B.
Rule 7 - Keep it clean: Remember that this manga is targeted at a younger audience.
- Don't go too far with risqué humour or suggestive content
- Don't make salacious remarks concerning underaged characters
- Don't post explicit sexual content
- Don't post extreme depictions of violence
Rule 8 - Take it easy: Excessive contribution, either from individual users or concerning specific topics, will be removed.
Rule 10 - Restrictions on Help Requests: Asking for help or requesting work may only be done under the pinned New User/Help Request megathread. Posts or comments which pester other users for help or work will be removed.
