Description Based on something that actually happened to me while playing Pokemon Red.  I was leveling my Jigglypuff in Mt. Moon entrence when I encountered a Paras.  I had it pounded twice and then, there were only something like 1 or 2 HP left.  Then I made Jigglypuff use Sing and the move worked.  All the conditions were reunited for a flawless catch, so I went into my items to find out... that I ran out of pokeballs !  Having made the effort to finally not being able to catch it and thus, having to finish it off instead, before having to go back to Pewter City to buy a few Pokeballs.

Thus came this comic, where instead of drawing Red, I drew myself as a Trainer who ends up failing to catch Paras because of bad karma, then being cheered up by her pokemon.  I tried my hardest to fix the proportions issues, but I'm not quite used in drawing humans, especially women having curves just like me (I'm far from being skinny).  For the outfit, I chose 3/4 pants, a t-shirt and a bandana that reminds May's headband and I'd color it purple.  The hair is long, honey and wavy with no bang, and I wear glasses.

And for the title, as I'm quite IT-geeky, I chose to name it like this.

Maybe I'll do a colored version someday.

Karma for what though? I'm sorry if didn't catch it... I don't always catch things the first (sometimes even more) time.

Sorry about the mishap though. I've had a lot of mishaps on my Yellow version, kept trying to catch a Clefairy (was actually trying to catch all the Pokemon in the area at once, so I wouldn't have to deal with it all later. ) and my Pikachu kept KO'ing them....   I went through like 5 Clefairy...And it doesn't help that their encounter rate isn't the best in the first place.

Karma for trying to catch a particular pokemon, especially when it isn't the most common encounter or when in Gen II, the time of day is about to switch, making the pokemon unavailable for the next hours. As if something doesn't want you to get that Pokémon.


Yesterday, I had trouble with catching a Pidgey in Gold (I had the battery changed this week). Either it gets KO'd or they're not weakened enough (with the high risk of KO'ing with the next move). All of this while it was about to switch to night time. I could finally catch it once morning came.

I tend to get that every day I play Pokemon.... I hated the "swarm" Pokemon in Gen 2...Had to wait for a stupid phone call to even have chance at catching certain Pokemon.

I know we have Heartgold and Soulsilver but I wish Nintendo would released Gold, Silver and Crystal on Virtual Console as well. (I prefer Crystal because 1. You get a choice about your character and 2. You get that "Odd Egg" that has the potential to hatch in to any of the original "Baby Pokemon" (excluding Togepi of course) PLUS its higher Shiny rate. That's how I got my original (and first) Shiny Pichu )
