Tehehe, this comic reminds me of when I use to play pokemon, you must play differently then me, because I never had to or wanted to use more then 1 pokemon during all of my battles, including the elite four...that starting pokemon was always at least 10-20 lvls higher then the gym leaders when I faught them...one hitting left and right is real power gaming.

Same here. The only reason I would use other Pokemon was if they had a type advantage. Otherwise, I'd just bring out my overpowered starting Pokemon (Which I called Sparta!, for humorous effect).

I literally had other pokemon for junk moves like cut surf fly strength and such that my main couldnt get or didnt use because if you use the same pokemon through the entire game type advantage doesnt factor in and you'll have a lvl 100 before you even get halfway through the game, then grinding elite four and xpshare item FTW.

I think there may be some exaggeration here, Raborman?  I completed the game twice using 3 pokemon (Blastoise mainly, followed by Pidgeot and Alakazam.) By the time I'd beat the Elite Four Twice and done helluva lot of battling Blastoise was around lvl 90 and the other two were 65ish. I do agree though, at around ~10 level advantage you can ignore typing for the purposes of battling.

Also, Ultimuh - the Machamp on Steroids idea - Sounds pretty cool! Maybe he uses one poke at a time, and when it fails him, he throws it out and gets a new one. (Machamp, Gengar, Dragonite, Mewtwo even?)

I think when I first played Red Version I played like that,  just tearing through the elite four with my level 80-something Charizard. I've found it's less fun playing that way though, so since then I've always taken the balanced-party route.

For a second there I thought the villain was going to do the smart thing and just avoid the hero because otherwise nothing prevents them from succeeding.

Immutable law of the pokeverse, whenever you execute an evil plan of any kind, a pre-adolescent kid will come and fuck up your shit. No point even trying to avoid it, it'll always happen.

Honestly I can't picture Pink without buckteeth at this point.

Me neither, although I've only actually drawn her with buckteeth like 3 times. So...great success!

(A machamp on steroids perhaps?)

Machamp on steroids seems kind of redundant. Any more testosterone and a Machamp would just implode into a manliness singularity.

i rather like the semi-random style changes

It's funny that I'm just too lazy to draw certain panels, and pass it off successfully as a conscious stylistic decision. I am king of the bullshit.

Why must my sig space be so small?

Well, it helps that the simpler artstyle is quite cute, and that the world itself seems somewhat spastic.

There shuld totaly be an interuption in the next city and then Pink get braces.

[Mysteriousbluepuppet]

Then she lose Bidoof playing at Celadon Casino. Gambling is bad, childrens.

Not a comic!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I sort of forgot where I was going with this at some point and just added a bunch of filter effects. The funny thing is I coloured the whole thing, and then just desaturated it! Anyway I'm sick of looking at it so I'm just going to upload and forget. FUCK IT. I may attempt a good finishing job on it but I doubt I'll bother.

No comics quite yet! Feel free to stop reading right now because the rest is rambling bullshit.

I have news! I bought a motherfucking tablet! A fancy shiny one! As soon as I stop being horrible at using it it'll probably help me do things and stuff! There will be an adjustment period, I need some practice, it's not as magically intuitive as I had somehow aggrandized it to be. But she is shiiiiiny.

I also have excuses! For anyone who is wondering why I've gradually drifted from a comic every second day or whatever to roughly once a week, the reasons are numerous but not among them is "I'm getting bored of drawing stupid crap." As of this month I'm working full time and taking two classes. This keeps me busy. When I started making these silly things, I was working 2 graveyard shifts a week, which basically involved me sitting on my ass playing DS and reading (and drawing pokemans) for half the night. The greater part of the comic thus far was accomplished on the clock. As of this month I'm off graveyards ](which is for the best, and at my request, they're a bitch). Add onto that the fact that each page is probably twice as long now as the one's I started with, and my declining clip borders on understandable. I keep hoping I'll be able to resume the fever pitch I started with but let's face it, not going to happen. I apparently take bizarre arbitrary internet commitments more seriously than I should, just felt like offering an explanation.

That said, two pages in the next two days, that much I can guarantee.

I was going to respond to this but I forgot. The world is spastic, that I can wholeheartedly agree with. It sort of goes with the territory when you plan very little in advance (or, as in the beginning, plan nothing beyond the page you're drawing). On the plus side though, it presents unique challenges for me, a chronic over-planner. Good practice and all that, and that's all I hoped to get out of it in the first place.

Anyone who read that whole giant post get's a cookie.

People seem to exagerate the Tablet's ease.

Then again I don't have a tablet with a screen... but I somehow doubt those are the tablets people spoke about.

I hope you have a good program for your tablet. The way some like to do your lines with the tablet is insane.

[IronyOwl]

You still update more than Scott.

[iceball3]

Watching...

[Neonivek]

Still updates more then the vast majority of Abridged series.

I have Photoshop, which is supposed to have good tablet support. I'm terribly out of practice with Photoshop though, I've been using Paint.NET for ages. The tablet also came with a fancy Corel painter Sketchpad deal, which is pretty snazzy and seems easy to use, at least.

That is like winning a footrace against a loaf of bread.

Specifically, this, yeah.
