It's a fantastic manga for this and all kinds of other reasons. (Palletshipping! Pokéshipping! Brock/Sabrina! Plots that aren't unintentionally ridiculous!) Such a shame it's so difficult to find, though. o_x

If you and person above you want to share forever:

It only goes up to vol 31. After that I'm at a blank.

Unfortunately I don't know where to get the Black/White runs. :/

Wrong manga, unfortunately. [personal profile] lady_tagada and I were referring to The Electric Tale of Pikachu, not Special. Sorry for not clarifying (although the secret itself is about that particular manga series). Special's not that bad either, but honestly, I prefer Electric Tales for the reasons I've mentioned (plus the art and the fact that I prefer the way it treats my favorite character in the franchise over the way he's treated in Special). The problem's just that it's difficult to find it for sale because it's out of print, and there aren't really any scans or scanlations out there because tons of people in this fandom tend to focus on Special instead of any other manga series. (That's barring the occasional manga that's trending along with it, anyway. Like how people were focused on Special and Magical Pokémon Journey for awhile, then Special and Diamond & Pearl for another while, and now Special and Pokémon ReBURST.)

Not harping on Special, of course. It's just far, far easier to find material for it because of how much the fandom focuses on it. For example, if you're looking for the BW arc, try this place out. It's one of several major manga readers out there, much akin to Mangafox, but unlike Mangafox, it contains essentially a complete collection of the series (or as complete as has been scanlated so far).

In contrast, despite actually having been translated completely, Electric Tale only has the first two chapters (not volumes) available on that site. Other manga series (of which there are plenty) don't fare that much better. Good luck if you're a fan of Zenshou or Golden Boys, for example.

Sorry if that sounded biting. It's just that I think Special is great and all, but it's just frustratingly difficult to find anything but Special.

ayrt

no problem! For some reason I thought they were the same series under different names??? So I'm doubly excited to find out THERE'S ANOTHER MANGA I CAN READ.

But you seem to know more about the pokemon mangas than I do. My knowledge is spotty at best and Special the only one I can recall off the top of my head because I enjoyed the Ruby version so.
