Zhen Lin's raws

[paperfairy]

I couldn't help but notice that Zhen Lin has raws. (he gives us CoroCoro scans everything month) But he's in Australia, so I was wondering where he got them..... ^_^

2. It's not Australia
3. It's rather more expensive than I'd like

If you're talking PokeSpecial, those aren't from CoroCoro. They're from the monthly Shogakukan magazines, which have separate issues for each grade of elementary school in Japan.

I was once or twice really tempted to buy the Shogakukan magazines just for the PokeSpecial, but Kinokuniya has 'em going for $14 a pop, and I'd die before I paid $14 for 20 pages of manga. >_<

The little extras are fun though. Pokémon stamps, a little rubber puzzle-cube... And depending on which magazine, there might be other Pokémon manga. DP was serialised together with 4-koma and a Pokémon Ranger one.

But US$14? Hmm! It's only RM32 (~US$9) here. Of course, it's ¥540 in Japan... I think it has to do with the fact that the magazines are shipped in by air, and probably overnight too. The books aren't much better... RM24 (~¥800) against MSRP ¥460
