Chuang Yi: Difference between revisions

'''Chuang Yi Publishing Pte Ltd.''' was a publishing company based in {{pmin|Singapore}} that had the license to translate and distribute various [[Pokémon manga]] in English. Founded in 1990, Chuang Yi distributed its various titles to {{pmin|Singapore}}, {{pmin|Malaysia}}, {{pmin|South Asia|India}}, {{pmin|the Philippines}}, {{pmin|Indonesia}} and {{pmin|Thailand}}. Chuang Yi also distributed its products to {{pmin|Australia}} and {{pmin|New Zealand}} through {{wp|Madman Entertainment}}. As of 2014, it has been reported that the company has entered voluntary liquidation and is ending their manga publishing business.

Chuang Yi is best known for their publication of [[Pokémon Adventures]], which continued even after [[VIZ Media]] stopped production of their first edition of the manga. Chuang Yi also translated several manga series into English which have never been licensed by VIZ Media, such as [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] and [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]].

Many of Chuang Yi's older titles were published in a left-to-right format with reversed artwork. Titles with this treatment include [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] and most of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Later titles, however, such as [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]] and [[Phantom Thief Pokémon 7]] have been published in a right-to-left format, retaining the original reading format from the Japanese version.
