Description I know I must be scaring my dA friends but bear with me.

Here's a picture of Ruby straight from the Pokemon Special manga. Okay not straight from the Pokemon Special manga for a few reasons:

- They stopped printing Pokemon Special (also known as Pokemon Adventures) in the U.S. after the end of the 'Yellow' series so I actually don't own this manga (since this is from the Ruby/Sapphire series which is 2 series after Yellow)

- It's colored!

To best explain what's going on in this picture I decided to take a quote from the Summaries at Serebii.net

"Sapphire is taken by shock at what Ruby is suggesting, and doesn't understand why he is trying to safeguard their foe from harm. With a solemn look, Ruby remarks that enough people have died already, and he doesn't want anyone else to lose their lives."
~ Pokemon Special Vol. 22, Chapter 267 - The Last Battle VIII


Now that you have the mood and background of what's going on I better explain my sudden Pokemon revival shouldn't I?

Like I said before this is from Pokemon Special (PkSp) a manga that's completely different from the Pokemon Anime (for one thing it's more realistic/darker - come now can you see a person dying in the Pokemon anime? I think not) While I'm still fond of the anime I really like the manga. Especially the Ruby/Sapphire series. When I went to order the manga I was pretty upset to see people in the U.S. can't legally buy it! They're sold in English in Singapore but they're not shipped to the U.S. which is another bummer! So I decided to do some promotional art for it. Maybe if enough of us do then maybe, just maybe Viz will pick up the manga again. (It's a nice thought at least)

So here's Ruby, being very angst; but you really can't blame him since 3 people close to him died between these huge battles (including his distant father on which he recently learned actually cared and protected him! (Big time angst! ))

I love this part. It really shows how awesome Ruby is.

Poor Archie and Maxie, though. Holy crap, did they get depressing ends .____.

Really?! Aww!!! You're so lucky!

But it takes a while to sell them >.< And they sell it like, 40 baht per book. (Baht is a way to say Thai money.)

They didn't have to make a big fuss about it! And the Pokemon Manga I have has too many skipped parts in it. They should leave it alone like they did with the Yu-Gi-Oh manga!

Alimoey In reply to loveme13 [2007-08-12 05:57:10 +0000 UTC]

Yes Ruby is often angsting Aww thank you! I'm glad you think so.

Fret not; I only own a few. Unfortunately this saga in the series (my favorite) was never published in the U.S. We only get up to the Yellow saga. (The 2nd Saga out of 6 so far ) Hopefully we can all ban together and get them to publish more

And thanks so much for the comment; sorry I'm so late to reply!

That's okay, same here (I'm still trying to catch up on my messages.)

I completely agree! We should! I'm going to start a club (within the next 2 weeks because school is starting again ) to try to raise awareness for the missing Pokemon Adventure series. Would you be interested in joining that club when I do make it?

Yeah I'm sad that they stopped production of it after Yellow series(even though that's my favorite series ^-^) cause I wanted to see the Johto story line and the other ones. You did a really nice job on Ruby and Sapphire. ^-^

Alimoey In reply to Samantha-Edwards-SWA [2007-05-29 06:47:15 +0000 UTC]

Me too. I really didn't get into it until recently (because I didn't know about it. Geeze I wonder if they ever thought the reason it didn't sell was the lack of publicity ) and Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald was my favorite game and just by reading the summaries it's my favorite series as well so I was extremely bummed that they stopped production. I liked the Yellow series too but I agree I wanted to see the Johto story line etc. They sounds like they were all really good.

Thank you so much! It's really nice to meet another fan of the manga. I’m really hoping to raise awareness of the manga and its fan-base if I do enough of these, so I’m really excited to catch the attention of at least one fan! Who's your favorite character I'll do one f them after I finish the Ruby/Sapphire picture I'm working on now.

Samantha-Edwards-SWA In reply to Alimoey [2007-05-30 01:12:55 +0000 UTC]

Actually, my favorite character is Yellow. ^-^ I actually did cosplay her (in which only about a few people knew who I was cosplaying and the rest thought I was just a Pokemon Fishman..person) and I'm currently writing a fanfiction based Yellow being older and a couple of the characters too. It's actually being hand written, but I'll let you know when I do put it up on here. So far, after I laid out all the things, it's 3 part series.

I remember seeing it before they cut it off after Yellow and that was years ago. I actually did find a few copies at the library and I actually bought a copy or two of it. I'm currently trying to save up to buy some more of the Yellow series from Books-a-million's website.

I am really happy to find someone else who likes the fandom and is trying to raise awareness.

Thanks! ^____^

Thanks! I'm looking forward to reading it.

Amazon has them in case you're interested. (Well, again only up to the Yellow series. The rest we must hunt down with e-bay, and even then we might not be so lucky. )

Me too! Thanks for watching me too! I am going to start a club to raise awareness (probably within the next 2 weeks, I still need to catch up on dA from the summer) If you'd be interested in joining just let me know.

Sure I would be interested. Yeah I saw them months ago on there, but most of them don't really have them.

Aww thank you! Yea Ruby is a cutie; I him and Sapphire together. (That's probably why the Ruby/Sapphire saga is my favorite)

Thank you for such a huge compliment but unfortunately I can take little credit on this one, I only re-inked/colored this picture. I'm just trying to promote the Pokemon Special manga and what better way than to give it to you directly

Wow that is an angsty storyline. Nice work on the pic, and a real bummer that you can't get them manga here, that just sucks. Have you tried eBay?

Alimoey In reply to spideegrrl77 [2007-04-18 16:12:30 +0000 UTC]

One of the reasons I love the manga is because it follows the game story line. So this takes place during the big battle in the game. The manga before the last book wasn't as angst. It all started when the first person died and it all went down angst hill from there. Lucky for Ruby he has Sapphire who is the anti-angst. (The two really need the balance)

It was a HUGE bummer. Especially since I have the first few chapter books of 'Pokemon Adventures' (the English name for Pokemon Special) so I thought, 'YAY! They sell it! I'm going on amazon right now and add these newer sagas to my wishlist as fast as I can!' But noooo Viz had to stop the manga just as it's getting good. I was really bummed out/mad at Viz. Although no I never tried e-bay. I actually never used it before. But I'll take a quick look to see if it is there. Thanks for the suggestion Jenni!

And thanks for the comment.
