Happy Pokémon Day!

28 February 2018

Comics

Happy Pokémon Day, everyone! I know it’s one day late, but it’s probably still February 27th SOMEWHERE on this planet so technically I’m still on time!
Phew, 22 years, 807 Pokémon, millions and millions of profit and countless different kinds of Pokémon trainers! Which type of trainer are you?

Big thanks to Game Mania for making this comic possible! And just as much thanks to Charlot Hagenaars for the backgrounds!

I had to translate this comic from Dutch, so I might have made some grammar mistakes here and there. Forgive me.
As usual, there are dozens of little jokes and references hidden in this comic and I love to explain ’em, so if you have any questions, hit me up on Twitter!

Lore Galore

7 February 2018

Comics

As part of my effort to get into Overwatch, I listened to the Know the Lore: Overwatch podcast and I really like the universe Blizzard has created. But it’s a shame it’s all somewhat useless since the matches you play are often very lore-unfriendly and crazy. Fun, sure, but they never feel like “real” battles in the Overwatch universe. I wish you could reenact actual battles, like the assassination of Mondatta and the attempt at stealing the Doomfist gauntlet by Widowmaker and Reaper. That way, the lore might actually feel like it serves a purpose, other than providing backstories for the heroes.

Ahhh what am I blabbering about? Let’s go play a match with six Walrus-Roadhogs and David Bowie Moira.

PS: I’m experimenting with different backgrounds this week. If you look closely, you might notice these backgrounds HAVE LINES. That’s a pretty huge deal to me and I’m still on the fence about it. It gives the comic a more unified look, but I also liked the paint-y look of the previous backgrounds. If you wanna let me know what you think, please do!

Mind Trucks

31 January 2018

Comics

You wouldn’t believe the theories surrounding that truck in middle school! I distinctly remember an “official” Pokémon magazine that claimed you had to bring a lv. 100 Golem with Fissure, Earthquake, Strenght and a fourth move I don’t remember. That Golem would be able to move the truck and reveal some footsteps. If you’d step into those footsteps, you’d be transported to the pond/fountain in the Silph Co. lobby, where you could catch Mew. Almost as ridiculous as the “press A 50 times after catching Mewtwo to catch Mew”-theory.

Bowser seems like the guy to constantly promise change only to fall back in his evil ways

Hope you all have had some happy holidays! I’m still trying to get some time for myself, so I’m recycling a comic we’ve made for Game Mania. It’s about Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and the geniuses at Monolithsoft, enjoy!
