Hey there! Here on this blog, I plan to provide translations of the obscure "Pocket Monsters: The Animation" novels, written by Takeshi Shudo, head writer of the original Pokémon TV series. Anyway, I hope you please enjoy these novels and feel free to provide feedback in the comments sections.

Adoration for your Project (and also Japanese Terminology PDF?)

I literally created an account here just to show support for your work. This is one of the most interesting (and probably important) aspects of Pokemon's early worldbuilding. I am HERE for this. My Japanese is utterly dreadful for now, so it's nice to have these! Maybe I can practice with these books someday... Anyways! Keep up the good work, go at your own pace, and yeah!

...Also, if possible, could you please make a PDF of the Japanese Terminology Version? If you want to and have the time to, that is.
