Pokemon Adventures DPPt "Volume Four" Review Thread

[matt0044]

I just got my copy today at Barnes & Noble in NYC which I'm at now so I decided to start this. I haven't read it yet but I'll put up the Chapter names:

Adventure 28: Crafty Carnivine (gee, I wonder how long it took for them to think of that one)

Adventure 29: Floatzel and Jetsam

Adventure 30: Suffering Psyduck (I don't get it)

Adventure 31: Problematic Probopass and Mad Magnezone Part 1

Adventure 32:Problematic Probopass and Mad Magnezone Part 2

Adventure 33: Problematic Probopass and Mad Magnezone Part 3

Adventure 34: Drifting Drifblim

Adventure 35: Mirages of Mismagius Part 1

Adventure 36: Mirages of Mismagius Part 2

Adventure 37: Brash Bronzong Part 1 (Man, Viz LOVES aliteration and puns in their chapter titles, don't they? Oh well, at least it's not like the DP TRio English dialogue. I'm grateful for that)

From what I read, Platinum actually has a near death experience when she sinks in the Great Marsh's bog before being rescued by Chimler. It made me realize how everyone in this series seems to brush off death as if it was nothing. No real trauma or whatever. I wouldn't be surprised if they did that whole "walking away from the explosion and not turning back" thing.

Didn't we already have a "Crafty" before?

I'm pretty sure the Suffering is supposed to be about Psyduck's headaches and the first syllables are similarly pronounced.

I was assuming it was a pun.

I'm guessing it's meant to remind us of "sufferin' succotash," Sylvester's catchphrase from the old Looney Tunes shorts.

So, I got this yesterday... did anyone notice in the bio sections that wrote "Ojosama" instead of "Lady"?

The spine has Typhlosion on it... I haven't finished the book yet, but does Typhlosion appear in this volume?

No. It was the same for the Japanese version.
