The start of this storyline is insane, but I love it, probably because it is insane.
Coincidentally, I have a stuffed duck named Mr. Quackers.

I like how they are shiny, but not the right shiny colours.

Wow, Missingno is in this comic now.  All I can really say is, wow. Missingno is by far my faviroute glitch, not to mention it was easier to get through the Elite Four using him on Gen 1 then it was on Gen 1's remake. Reading through the chapter now as I only just got back on the internet. |

Again, why couldn't there be a separate thread for speculating about what's going to happen? One where spoilers are accepted, even though any spoilers would be total lucky guesses. That way people who just want to discuss what has already happened come here, people who want to discuss what might happen go there. Or better yet, just some spoiler tags. Either way, you'd only end up exposed to guesses at the plot if you so choose.
When I go to forums on a website such as, say, TV.com, one of the major things we discuss there are theories about what will happen, partly to enjoy them because they might never happen and it's nice to think of something that could happen instead of what eventually will have done, partly because it's nice to get recognition if you're right.
Discussing the future of a story is one of the most fun things about it, and certainly so in a community. Back when I wrote fanfiction I'd have loved it if there was more speculation about what I'm writing, it shows they care. And you shouldn't rewrite something just because people guess what happens! When I speculate about Doctor Who on tv.com, I don't expect to hear a few months later that the end of each episode was changed because the writer had read forums and didn't want it to be anything anyone had guessed. Do you think J K Rowling changed the ending of Harry Potter because everyone guessed Voldemort was going to win, so she twisted it? No! And even though everyone knew who RAB was, she kept that the same too! Guessing the storyline is fun, communal, and it gives you a great feeling of satisfaction if you're right.

QFT Recon, you're being a bit over-the-top with this whole "don't speculate" thing. Speculation is part of what people do when they read a story and they want to talk about it with others. |

"And that's all I have to say about that." Pfffft hahaha I do support the speculation thread idea. Not only would it allow us to talk about the comic in more depth, it would also add a bit of life to the pokemon-x discussion forum. |

I think Recon is just worried people will think he stole their ideas. Not all newcomers here will think he has had these ideas way in advanced. He just wants to avoid the hassle of trying to explain to people that he didn't steal them. But I do like the idea of a separate thread for speculations.

Seriously, though, if you can't figure out what's going on, you probably also haven't realized that you have hands.
And that blue tauros is perhaps the most awesome thing ever.

I agree with the points made about speculation, but you also need to consider that we're not talking about a book or TV show millions of people read/view. With millions of people, someone's bound to speculate correctly, it's just a fact, but when you're making a comic that only a small community will instantly read, I'd think it might feel bad if everyone knew what was coming, in a way it sort of takes away from the comic and makes what you're writing feel unoriginal.
On another note. Yes, <I mispelled the main character's name because I'm an idiot> <NO I'M NOT, IT'S A HONEST MISTAKE THAT ANYONE COULD MAKE> is very much trippin ballz.
