Description Christmas Gift 2

Because DeviantArt lacks pretty much any Dokapon Kingdom fanart, which is an absolute travesty, I deigned that this needed to change!

Also marks my first true 4koma piece. Yay!

But since it IS an obscure Atlus game that probably no one has even played, I guess I have to explain. The game is an RPG/boardgame hybrid with some of the zaniest characters and situations I’ve ever seen in a game. Occasionally, when you land on a space, a random character might show up and initiate some mini-game, offer an item, or take your gold for something.

When I was playing the game, I bumped into this “ pink bear-suit clad” character named Roche like four turns in a row. And every time, you’re forced to “roshambo” with Roche. It got old after a while.

But the funny thing is, apparently “roshambo” is the actual name for the famed “Rock-Paper-Scissors” game. I did not know that until now. In fact, when Roche first showed up, I immediately thought about the rules that Cartman described in that old episode of South Park: “First, I kick you in the nuts as hard as I can, then you kick me in the nuts as hard as you can. And we keep going until the one still standing is the winner.”

Ironically, I don’t know if Roche is supposed to be a boy or a girl though (the name, voice and appearance are oddly androgynous to me), so I can’t guarantee that this comic, by technicality, even applies.

And I’d like to end this comment-segment by HIGHLY recommending people to get Dokapon Kingdom if they don’t already have it. It’s available for both Wii and PS2 (which are pretty much the two most owned home consoles as far as I know), so there’s no excuse for not having it.

>_> My Sister Actually Bought this game, Not Me. And She's 7. While I was Playing Pokemon: Platinum she was playing Dokapon Versus a CPU, and I didn't pay any attention until I heard this, "Hey Kid, Wanna see Some Magic? I'm Weber, I've been waiting for you..." Yah Then All Of A Sudden I wanted to play, lol. I now Luv that game!! I'm at Lv. 73 and I'm an At/Def/hp While My sister is Mg/spd. Her Mg is like 300+!!!!! :-0 Btw, I hate it how, say, you are at level 20, and your friend is at level 10, and they fight you. You use Strike and They use Counter and they kill you in 1 hit. Then They Level up to your level. It's So Annoying!!!
~~SORRY FOR LONG COMMENT LOL

Yeah, I've come to the point where I won't even use Strike unless I could potentially lose in the next turn anyway. Otherwise I usually opt for plain attack or whatever spell I've got at the time.

Thanks for commenting.

Awesome comic. That is precisely what I wanted to do to him, along with my friends when they ran into him.

FUN FACT!

Weirdly enough, if you are in debt and you run into the creepy bear kid, he actually gets you out of debt.

Now if only there was a fan comic about Weber...

Thanks for the comment! Glad you like it!

Ha! Than an unusually generous thing for Roche to do. Unfortunately, if I ever end up in debt, I tend to not run into anything that can help me. T_T

I've tossed around the idea of doing a Weber comic. Who knows, I may yet.

lol that's so funny! XD I HATE Roche, she's/he's/it's annoying, plus I keep on losing in Roshambo . I would LOVE to do that to her, the doctor ( STOP TAKING MEH MONEY BETCH D:< ), and Weber ( he's only good for the contracts >_<; )

BTW, what happens when you get a message that says '*inserts name of character here* heard the whispers of dark revenge'? That happened to me 8 times, and nothing happened?

Thanks for the comment! Glad you like it!

As for the "whispers of dark revenge"; it took some time for me to figure it out too. It happens if you're in last place for around 5 turns (sometimes more, sometimes less). And then if you go to the "dark space" on the first continent (or use the contract to instantly go there), you become the Darkling class for two weeks and wreak havoc on all of the other players. I could be mistaken, but it's to my understanding that this will not happen unless you hear those whispers.

Oddly, I just liked having the little bat hover over my head after hearing the whispers. I'm weird like that.

I figured it out with a neat little online guide! .... Dangit. No AwesomeFace emote....it'd be perfect here....if I knew how to use it.

My little sister LOVES getting the Darkling.....she seems to forget that it means that she's sucking in general.

I hate the Darkling class. I was winning and my sister used it to bring demon-dudes back to all of my kingdoms. Then she tried to kill me but I killed her first. Still... I ended up in second place cuz of her.

JocelynSamara In reply to SandFan [2009-03-25 21:34:45 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I tried out the Darkling class once out of curiosity. Once I saw what it did though, I kind of felt awkward and guilty. So while I very well could have devastated all of my opponents (I got enough points to undo everyone's efforts completely), I instead used just enough to level the playing field a bit.

Ever since, my friends and I have sort of silently agreed not to use the Darkling class. If one of us gets a Contract, we usually just sell it. I mean, we'll still be rotten to each other in every other aspect of the game (that is after all, the point of the game), but the Darkling class is just overkill, so we don't use it.

Oh, and thanks for faving!

The only good thing about Darkling class is that it looks cute but I'd rather be a ninja anyday.

SandFan In reply to JocelynSamara [2009-03-26 20:25:31 +0000 UTC]

Well I'm sorta new to the game so I haven't had the chance to get a Robo Knight, a Hero, or an Acrobat. Soon though, I shall unlock them all (and maybe buy some more hairstyles... I'm tired of wearing a duck on my head and the afro is stupid...)

JocelynSamara In reply to SandFan [2009-03-27 13:34:32 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I kinda wish there were an easier way to get hairstyles. I ALWAYS seem to just find the duck one. Or the geisha one. Neither of which, I really wanna run around with...

Well . . . . I feel stupid
I always thought that Roche was a girl!
I wish you could do that in the game it would be hilarious and I would never loose money to that she-male thing!

JocelynSamara In reply to INKNEKO [2009-02-08 01:51:51 +0000 UTC]

Well, for all it matters, Roche MIGHT be a girl. I'm honestly not sure. I personally, just always assumed s/he was a boy. Besides, for the purposes of this comic, it worked out better that way.

I wish I could do it in-game too. Roche and Weber; both of them deserve this treatment very badly.

Thanks for the comment!

Sometimes I get something, but not often. Usually Roche just wastes my time to ultimately tell me he/she/it has no money. Um, thanks?

I see what you're doing, Roche! You're on notice! You're just passing around other people's money rather than supplying your own.

Next time, we play by MY rules!

rock...paper..balls! haha made me laugh, never knew it was originally called roshambo. Sounds like a really bizarre game...cool though. Atlus I mean. "Roshambo" sounds painful

JocelynSamara In reply to CaptainBarnacles [2008-12-25 16:14:01 +0000 UTC]

Dokapon Kingdom IS very bizarre... but funny and cool too. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Roshambo, I don't recommend so much. At least, not the version portrayed here.

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you liked the comic!
