>>56511952It really sucks when you get one chapter a month and you have:
>international book signings >creating new databooks/artbooks for your long-time readers>gamefreak shitting out as many games as possible that you may have to adapt >and an arc you were supposed to finish years ago but couldn't find the time for itEvery arc has been a clumsy run to the finish line. I'd like to say that XY is the one arc that had great pacing in this time period.
>>56511962No. Some of them are direct continuations from previous arcs, while some of them require contextual information to understand the characters that appear in their story.
The storylines vaguely look like:
>RGB - Y - GSC - FRLG - E (while needing RS) - ORAS - HGSS>DP - PT>BW - BW2The rest are mostly standalone, but may require previous arcs to understand minor references (SwSh, SM) or older characters (XY) that could possibly show up.
