This is just a quick one to let everyone know we're **not** dead and progress is coming along smoothly. Advanced Generation is up to about episode 70 and I believe Gold & Silver has just been QC'd. The idea of release Advanced Generation all at once is currently being tossed around, but we're not really too sure just yet. I personally think everyone would appreciate having it out in chunks as opposed to waiting another year, so let us know :) **I'm looking for a dedicated encoder for the original series.** As it stands, we're just sitting on a hoard of sources that aren't being touched and it seems noone is too keen on touching a 279 episode encoding project. If you are a nerd and/or have a somewhat competent knowledge of VapourSynth and terrible Film->Digital composite transfers from the early 2000's, feel free to reach out. If no one comes forward to help on this front, I'll just release the sources in one big torrent most likely. That'll be VOB's for all 65 DVD episodes that exists and KIDS STATION .ts for the Sponsors, Jikai's and other missing segments/episodes. Lastly, **if you can do TLC or QC/Edit, feel free to reach out.** As this is a 2-person operation. Additional people would speed things **greatly**. To get in touch, contact "mbc" on #pokemon @ irc.hoshinet.org Revised edits of Mystery Dungeon, Winter Vacation & the Movies with their shorts are also in the works. The thought of listening to the movie short songs is making me procrastinate on this greatly. -- Despite WinxBloom1988 being responsible for the RAW, they are not in anyway affiliated with this release. We're just using the best source currently available to us. -- TL Note: "Straight Pitch" (https://jisho.org/search/直球一本) is baseball term. Johto is essentially the anime's version of Kansai, with a common Osaka stereotype being that people from there are obsessed with baseball, hence the term being randomly used by the protagonist in this Johto based special. This comes up in the anime as well with Nanako.
