[SOSSubs] Pocket Monsters - Pokémon Ranger - Traces of Light

**Translation & Timing:** Satoshis Mom **Editing & Typesetting:** trubbish **Raw:** Puto **Spec:** Video Codec: x264, 8bit Video Resolution: 852x480 Video Frame Rate: 29.97fps (VFR) Audio Codec: AC3 (JP Track, DVD passthru), AAC (EN track, Pokemon.com) Subtitles: English (ASS) -- SOSSubs is proud to present the Pokémon Ranger: Traces of Light! (or "Hikari no Kiseki" in Japan and "Guardian Signs" for the western world.) This is a two-parter anime special that aims to be a glorified commercial for the then upcoming Nintendo DS games of the same title. While nothing overly exciting, this special is a bit of a rarity specifically in Japan. It saw a limited release only being aired on TV once and then available online & through rental DVD for a very limited time. Big thanks to Puto for restoring this one to it's original form using the best sources we could find! This release contains 2 audio tracks. The Japanese AC3 audio lifted directly from the Japanese DVD and the English AAC track taken from the dub video on Pokemon.com. **If you're watching through MPC-HC, there's a strange bug where it defaults to the English track (Track 2). This doesn't happen with any other player I've tried. Given MPC-HC is deprecated, this isn't an issue I'm too bothered about fixing. This is just a heads up.** This special aired during the Diamond & Pearl era. If you're watching along at home, the special aired between 166 & 167, just before the Pokémon Ranger episode itself. Though it doesn't tie-in to the main series in any way, I'd personally suggest watching it after 168 (as this ends on a cliff hanger). -- We're looking for more help. We currently have our main dedicated translator and a couple of us proofing, checking & editing everything. If you think you can help in anyway, feel free to get in touch! Especially on the look out for TLC! **Contact "mbc" on #pokemon @ irc.hoshinet.org** Next up...Who knows? We've actually just finished translating up till the end of Diamond & Pearl. If you wanna see this stuff out faster, do feel free to get in touch. We're just a bunch of old Slowpokes! -- Despite Puto being responsible for the RAWs, they are not in anyway affiliated with this release. We're just using the best sources currently available to us.
