help with Pokemon Special, other random nattering
Hi! People keep telling me I should read Pokemon Special, and this morning while on a conference call I tried to find it on ebay. There are like a dozen different things called Pokemon Adventures (apparently what it's called in English?) with different covers and since manga is expensive I don't want to buy the wrong thing. Is this what I want? ...also is there anywhere to get them cheaper because oh god. :/ Thanks!
Also I've been thinking about timelines and history and the interaction of effects in Kanto/Johto on Unova pre-games and so on. Is there a good timeline of how these things fit together out there? I found this one on Bulbapedia and there is some good material in there but there's also stuff in there that feels really... unspecific. Like, how much time is there between HGSS and BLW? Are DPPt really happening at the same exact time? How could they not be influencing each other? How much time passes in the individual games? I imagine them taking a couple of years... is that wrong? Have other people done all of this work? I mean, I suspect what I put in my timeline will diverge a little bit in places, but I want to mostly fit canon and to have a good idea of how all of these things affect each other... particularly because a bunch of the stories I want to write are set well after all the games.
Hope you all are doing well!
