Okay, out of context that english panel doesn't make any sense. Gotcha? The poke-boobs made sense. Her randomly screaming gotcha? not so much.

They rewrote the dialogue to match the edit, pretty much. Instead they have Green insult Sabrina's fashion sense (meow!) which makes her "lose her psychic focus" or something... and Green has huge boobs in the page before that for what seems like basically no reason.Quote:

Oh my God!!O_o What the hell happened to her chest?? It looks like it's sagging to the ground!!
I was hoping that the edit would look decent, and I was contemplating on maybe buying it anyway despite the censorship, as I don't have much money, and I'm jobless... But my lord...
That is one terrible censorship job...
Why couldn't they hire a real artist to make the edit? Would something along the lines of this be too difficult for a professional?
And here I am, some unpaid, jobless 19-year old and I've done a better job than that editor... Someone got paid for this people!!
How did they handle the scene where she was running off with the badge while holding her torn dress?
She ran off with the badge.Quote:

They edited it so that her dress wasn't torn and her arm is just sort of hanging around where she would be normally holding up her dress.Quote:

I hate how people think any nudity is sexual in nature. That baffles me. In this day and age, Calvin wouldn't have been able to put Hobbes in the bathtub any more, because that leaves his tush exposed.
This makes me really glad I own the original VIZ printings. If I didn't, I'd probably still buy this, but without knowing about the original source I know I'd be confused at that scene. Censoring it is only going to draw more attention to Green's bouncing chest on the previous page, and completely ruins the WTF-awesomeness of her Pokémon appearing.
What does Sabrina say in the panel after the main censored one? Where in the original VIZ manga, she says, "What!? PokéBalls on her chest!?" It's probably something lame like just "What!?", but I'm curious if they tried to explain it.
I just checked it. No, they don`t explain it. Sabrina`s next line is just "Lost my focus when she dissed me!".Quote:

[If you are wondering where I get this manga in Finland, our local "Manga-shop" called "Fantasiapelit" [Fantasy Games] which sells English language manga sells it.]
No word on yes or no yet, but I hope they do. It'll come out conveniently short after the English release of HGSS if they do...Quote:

I happen to think the censoring looks quite convincing, actually.
I agree... I would've left that scene alone, but what I think Viz did was really well. The biggest issue I have is...Quote:
