Book Translations

Before getting to the new information -- for new Patreon supporters, you can find some Patreon exclusive video and interview translations in the previous two Patreon posts. Thanks so much for your support :)

Okay, now on to today's new stuff. Some of y'all might remember me talking about a 120 page book from 1996 titled "Pokédex," which contains tons of development info, artwork, and extra lore not included in the games. I tried to get the book officially localized last year, but long story short, it didn't work out. So now I'm gonna have the highlights translated, probably about 20-30 pages in total. There's an 8 page interview with Tajiri and the rest of the developers that reveals some cool information, like how Miyamoto saved them from having to cut a bunch of Pokemon. Other scrapped ideas as well. I've already had it translated, but still need to curate it and do some fact-checking. The first section that's been finished is a small one, so I figured I'd go ahead and share it with you guys. The book contains 13 art boxes with Japanese text (two of them you can see pictured above), so I've enhanced and translated them. You can see them all here, along with some additional information: http://lavacutcontent.com/kanto-pokedex-extra-entries/

I'll have larger sections available in the near future, including that Tajiri interview. I've also got a video interview and a 12 page magazine interview already translated, I just need to curate and fact-check them before they're ready to share with you guys. And of course there's all the Carddass card enhancements that *almost* done, and some other projects in the works as well. As always, I really appreciate y'all's support :) This kind of stuff is pretty expensive, and it's your generous donations that make them possible. Cheers guys.
