Even if it was licenced elsewhere outside Japan, if it wasn't in your area, what do you want to see?

I was surprised Viz didn't pick up Golden Boys when HGSS came out. It's short, it's cute, and it would have been quite timely in a retro way.

I really hope they pick up reBURST and Good Partners. Having three forms of Special around just isn't going to cut it for their releases, frankly. I want variety!
 
I wish the Pokemon Special manga was licensed in Latinamerica.

After all, the biggest Pokemon fandom happens to be Mexican, going by Google search statistics, and Peru and such others aren't too far behind, making the Spanish-speaking segment of the fandom more prominent than even the Japanese and far more lucrative (which is why I'm surprised nobody has licensed it yet!)
 
I would really want them to license some of the old one-shots like Zensho or the 4-komas. Pokéwake and Pokémon Try Adventure seem like something I would buy if they had licensed it
 
If these were licensed, then more people could read them, and then the manga section on BP would grow to a more respectable level....

But I would like to read ReBURST, Try Adventure and Good Partners (I liked Pokemon Seven, so I'm sure I'll like this), and Good Partners (once again, mainly because I have NO IDEA WHAT IT'S EVEN ABOUT....) and the remaining movie manga....
 
Pokemon Reburst seems interesting. That and the remainder of the Magical Journey Pokemon too. Oh and the original Pocket Monsters manga. Really want that.
 
Honestly, there's nothing I wouldn't want to see brought over.

For stuff that's actually somewhat-possible-maybe to consider, it's going to be really any interesting to see whether or not they pick up ReBurst. It sounds different, so I would be all for it. It would be nice to see some of the other ongoing BW manga (those would be The Hero of Fire and Thunder and Good Thunder, yes?) coming over instead of this "let's put together our own Adventures collections" nonsense.

...speaking of which, with Viz apparently not even caring about whether or not something's been collected as a graphic novel, wouldn't that have been cool if they had given such a treatment to that one-shot BW manga or the walkthrough manga? Not gonna happen, but still.

Aside from that, it'd be awesome for them to re-release and finish MPJ (plus Chamo Chamo Pretty). It's so cute and unique. :3 All of Miho Asada's offbeat stuff would rock too.
 
I remember they USED to release one-shots. I wish they still did. Maybe we'd get the second Mystery Dungeon volume.

I'd like PokeWake to be licenced but I can understand why it couldn't be, since the card images are owned by a different company.
 
I want to see the Pokémon Adventures Ruby and Sapphire chapter released by Viz in America and therefore will be imported into anime, manga, graphic novel and video game merchandise stores in the UK. Volume 15 doesn't have a release date and volume 14's release date of 2 August was given 9 months before in November and new volumes normally release every 2 months.
 
Every one of them.

Seriously.. It pains me that they're so hard to buy unless you live in Japan, and even then I can't read Japanese so all I can do is look at the pretty pictures.
 
Pocket Monsters Reburst! would probably be my top choice, since it brings something original to the manga front. The storyline feels very well well thought out and the art seems very spetacular. It defiantly seems to be going somewhere very interesting with the storyline, and it showcases many interesting Isshu Pokemon.

Pocket Monsters BW (Kosaku Anakubo) seems very funny and interesting. I would pick it up quickly if it were to be licensed, it's a very long running manga and deserves a license above all. The characters and references in the manga such as Obama and Pokemon Rights would be nice to see in English and see how funny it is for English speakers.

seconded, i was really surprised they didn't pick it up. i'm told the CY version is out of print now, too, which is really disappointing because i only have volume two!

i'd also like to see Chamo-Chamo Pretty, ReBURST, and Pocket Monsters licensed, myself. \o/
 
Aren't Pocket Monsters, Reburst, and maybe a few of the BW comics the only ones up and running that have yet to get licensed? Out of those I'm not sure which I'd even want.

(Of course, I've yet to read Golden Boys or the MPJ stuff :p)
 
Pocket Monsters definitely. Must. Read. This. Series. Before. I. Die.

& ReBurst seems interesting just based off the hype I've seen it get here, so that too
 
Pocket Monsters by Kosaku Anakubo.

Besides Adventures, which I still don't trust Viz with, it's pretty much the only other Pokemon manga I've been interested in. But let's face it, most companies consider Pokemon to be a kid's thing whereas this manga is aimed towards an older audience, and America is simply not interested in gag-oriented manga, and the manga industry is in a bad enough rut as it is. Not to mention, Pocket Monsters is known for its crude and vulgar humor, there's no way it would ever be licensed, old series or new.

Likewise, I doubt ReBurst would ever be licensed for similar reasons too. "Oohhh, it's aimed towards an older audience? Blasphemy! Pokemon is for kiddies!!"

But one can dream I guess...
 
I haven't seen anything particularly mature or outside the current rating in ReBURST. It seems more like a reason that it wouldn't get translated would be because it breaks so much with tradition (coming from Digimon fandom, I remember the outcry when Frontier aired, and ReBURST is a very similar idea), similar to the Platinum Master comic (although that might also have been because that involves people playing Platinum, the video game, and would fall under advertising laws).
