Description
Mar. 31, '10Holy crap! I drew something! And a comic of all things too!
My lady love and I have been playing the new Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver games lately. It's been a blast too because it marks the first time in all my years as a Pokémon fan that I've EVER been able to trade (and that is, for the record, since day one). It feels like we're constantly trading just to trade.
But we've also been giggling at the animation that occurs when you make a trade in the game. You see, it shows you put the Pokémon in the Pokéball and then just launches it. I have a hard time not exclaiming "Pokémon... in... SPACE!" every time I see it. And one time in particular, I had the scene depicted in this comic pop into my head. Made me laugh, so I drew it. Hope it made you laugh too. ^_^
The kids are Aidyn and Madison [link] my , those kids that I use anytime I feel it's applicable. I suppose I could have used trainer characters from within the games like my other Pokémon comics, but I wanted this to be recognized as people "playing the game" rather than people "within the game".
And the Pokémon I mentioned, as with the Pokémon I use for any comic, are completely random. No rhyme or reason to it. Don't look for a deeper meaning. (Although I guess they must be rare; I'm on my way to the Elite Four now and haven't been able to catch a Growlithe and haven't even SEEN a Teddiursa...)
Artistically, I'll be the first to say this is a nightmare. This is mostly because I rushed since I wanted to have this done before I jumped into Script Frenzy tomorrow. I mean, there are aspects of this piece that came out rather well, I think (the satellite, the explosion, etc.) but most of it IS rather sloppy. I do hope it's not to much of a bother to you though.
All right. Done rambling now.

However, because it hit the satelite, growlith has escaped his DS prison and shall release his revenge on Nintendo.

I'm sorry. I think my mind stopped working or something, but what do you mean, "it does"?

Well, you missed your window of complete accuracy - but i think i was responding to the "Hope it makes you laugh" in the comments.

Oh man. Now you have me thinking of ...
Pigs ... In ... Spaaaaaaaaaace!
I've seen that animation and you are right, It does look like it'll hit a satellite of something.
Good job on this. XD

Awesome! Quite the surprise. My spirits have been lifted thanks to you. The expression on her face is priceless.
I think the squiggly lines could have been remedied (at least for the DS) by using the Line Tool or holding down Shift as you were drawing to keep them straight.

I'm glad I could contribute to making you feel better.
Yeah, there're a LOT of squiggly lines and badly drawn things and whatnot I could have avoided, but again, I knew the main goal here was just to get it done. This unfortunately led to it being rushed and somewhat sloppy. And while this might sound weird, I knew it was going to be crappily drawn, so I didn't want any straight lines for consistency's sake.

Teehee! Very nice!
I'm in the thick of HeartGold myself. I'm only at the Rocket Radio Tower takeover, however. Might I add that I LOVE the random 'speed change in front of your rival' scene they added in? It's when your rival notices you're wearing the Rocket uniform and demands that you take it off, causing you to spin in a rapid circle and magically be wearing your own clothes again.

Thank you very much!
Heh. I thought that was kind of funny too. I'm like, "wait, she's just going to change right there in front of everyone?"

Suki-chan36 In reply to JocelynSamara [2010-04-01 03:31:18 +0000 UTC]
Apparently so. And neither the rival nor the Rocket Grunt really had much to say about it. Does that mean that this is a normal occurrence in the Pokemon world?

If only, if only.
Sometimes I wondered what happened to your pokemon if you left it in your Cable while Training.
I kept thinking it would be stuck there for good, until someone connects it back and decides to trade, then you randomly got a second pokemon.
Aww, to be a kid again.

Left in the cable, huh? Though the idea of randomly getting a second Pokemon sounds pretty cool.
To be a kid again, indeed. Good times, good times. ^_^

I probably could do Wi-Fi trades, but I just haven't tried it yet.
And thank you! I'm glad you liked it so much!

Heh. Thanks! ^_^
Growlithe may yet be okay though. The fires from the explosion might "not be very effective" after all.
