Korean version of Pokespe

포케스페Pokeseupe, the Korean translation of Pokespe, is probably one of the worst translated versions of Pokespe. Complete trash. Kusaka's remark on the Korean version Daewon CI is a horrible company.
It's super cheap tho, it's even cheaper than the Japanese version, since it's like $3.50 each
== Why is it so bad ==
Up to volume 25, it's in the left-to-right format and the artwork is reversed, and it's full of mistranslations.
* Red's name was Jiu (지우) until volume 29, which is basically Ash's Korean name.
** In volume 1, Red's name goes back and forth between Red (레드, Redeu) and Jiu.
* Silver's name is Eundong (은동), which is a highly 'Koreanized' name. This is very odd because other Dexholders' names were directly translated.
** He is correctly identified as Silver (실버, Silbeo) at the end of the third volume.
* Red already knows that Yellow is a girl in volume 7.
* Pika is a female and Chuchu is a male
* FireRed and LeafGreen were translated as "FireJiu and LafGreen"(파이어지우·라프그린) because the translator was so dumb and thought that 'Red' in the word 'FireRed' referred to the character Red. Also she missed one vowel in the word 'LeafGreen.'
* Ursaring is apparently a legendary Pokémon.
* Mew is a radish.
* An Ivysaur knows how to use a phone.
* The publisher, Daewon CI, is unwilling to fix these critical errors and keeps printing the same edition for 20+ years, which makes it even worse.
The translator was changed since volume 26, and From DPPT arc it's actually quite okay, and they did a decent job translating all the DPPT jokes. It's not ideal but it def worth money considering its price
== Trivia ==
* Unlike the Japanese or English volumes, Korean version never publishes chapters that aren't in the official volume format. In which, the latest volume of Pokespe in Korean is therefore volume 53, published in January of 2019.The publication date shown in a Korean bookstore website, 알라딘
* This is the only article that was able to survive the Skin wave.
