Wow, bunch of things I missed. The secrets, the talks, the Shades.
This battle looks to be fun and I love Crimson's pokedex.

I haven't looked too much into this, mostly cause any fun site is blocked on these. However, I really like what I see! The actions that took place in Hoenn responsible for a mass migration of Pokemon to foreign regions as an explication for older Pokemon randomly appearing in new generations? Excellent! Oak giving out Dexes to build upon the research of the past generation of trainers? Love the tie-in, and how it makes it less of a meager gameplay feature!

Oh God, isn't there a "mute" button on those damn Pokédexes?
Confusion looks weird, by the way. It's supposed to be blue energy surrounding the user and the object, not some sort of purple ray.

Really? I see Psychic as a blue light that surrounds and controls the target. I see Confusion as a strange beam of light that hits the target and messes with their minds. Anyway, no new page today because of my club and homework. But also, to anyone that visits Drunkduck. Is it acting weird for you today? This is "Shadow vs Dark"'s Drunkduck page. It should be on the same page as ComicFury, but eight pages are missing.

I always felt that moves where WHAT the Pokemon did, not HOW they did it. Confusion, for instance, would be something that the Pokemon does to disorient the foe, either through invisible psychic powers or entrancing dance or disorienting powders or lights, and Protect could be the Pokemon bracing itself for impact or using it's shell effectively.
So the way moves were portrayed in the games and the anime were simply abstract ways of translating a plethora of possible actions into an easily-identified graphic. The games benefit for that reason, and the anime saves a buttload of animation money by just making everything look like glowing energy beams, but never have I ever assumed those lazor beams to actually be how the attack appears.
In essence, I am ALL FOR the idea of Pokemon moves that appear as more than just purple wavey stuffs and light beams and actually putting a little creativity into HOW a Pokemon might do it.

Nitro will win this for sure. GO CRIMSONDEX.

I've fixed the DrunkDuck account. Had to re-upload all the pages again. Also, I've redone "Swap". Gave Confusion a simpler effect and changed some dialog.

So you changed it to make Spears confused? This is confusing me...

I didn't like how the original went. Spear used String Shot to lower Drowzee's Speed. That became pointless when Nitro was sent out.
So I changed it to, Spear got confused and hurt itself.

I like the new version of the latest comic. Confusion looks much better.

Caught up on reading these, and I like what I see, in particular the battle effects. Plus, your character portrayals, including that of the talkative Poké Dex are fun, too. Keep it up, Rapter.
