xD It's sorta pointless to post a thread if you haven't got a comic yet. Just sayin'.

I already had several done way before this. They'll be up very soon

Credit to Ant2011 for Team Metal's sprites!

Should I use imageshack, photobucket, or tinypic to upload my comics? (I've been using Tinypic)

[Caite-chan]

Tinypic seems to work just fine. I haven't had any problems with it. As for the comic I think it's great and I can't wait for more.

[Fistodragon]

Chapter 16 has now been edited in!

[Suicune's Fire]

I'm guessing you're new to comics. :] Imma give you some tips.

1. You've linked us to the tinypic website instead of the actual individual comics' URLs. It's unnecessary to link us there because it loads up the rest of the site and takes forever to show the image, PLUS you have to right-click and go "view image" to actually see the whole comic in full view. Instead, go to the left of the page where you see "direct link" and link us to THAT URL. So, link us to this (http://i48.tinypic.com/2128z1h.jpg), not this (http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2128z1h&s=6). Make sense?
2. Instead of just having links in the first post, every time you post a new comic page, try posting the image for us to see using image tags inside spoiler tags. You could post them without spoiler tags, but if the image dimensions are big, then it'll likely take up a lot of the screen. For example:
http://i48.tinypic.com/2128z1h.jpg
3. Your pokemon battles are a little bland, and you don't have anything like animation sprites (I don't mean ones that move) such as in the games. As in, no leaves or vines, or tackle icons or anything. You could put these in to spice up your battles a little.
4. In one of the first comics, the two boys race each other to the next town over, and yet they don't know what the name of the town is. One of them thinks he "might" have heard about it on TV once... How can they not know about the next town over? xD Have they never gone for a drive with their family? Have they never left their towns in their lives? It seems unlikely and a little absurd. The point of me telling you this is to keep you aware that even with comics, you have to go deeper than the games or the anime. It needs to be engaging for people to continue to read, and you have to think about things on a deeper level.

As for the comic itself, good luck with it. :] I hope my tips help you!

1. I've been using the direct link the whole time! Well, I right clicked the image and clicked "copy image location" and it seems to work.

2. Oh thanks! Never knew how to do that haha

3. Will keep that in mind for future reference.

4. They have been out of the towns when they were younger. When they became older, they mainly stayed in their town playing by the river with pokemon. (Thinking of doing flashback comics later in the story etc etc., basically fillers).

[Suicune's Fire]

1. OH MY GOSH TINYPIC YOU MONGREL. O:< Yeah, stupid sites and their wrongly labelled links! Well good that that works. XD I usually end up doing that. (That and I use imageshack.)

2. No worries! If you need the coding for it, quote me and you'll see how I did it. x)

3. Okay, sure. ^^ I know you can find little sprites and stuff for battling in places on the internet, probably like the Spriter's Resource.

4. I see what you mean, but you'd think they'd get bored of that after about a week. xD

I haven't read all of it yet, but when I do, I'll comment on the comic as a whole. x)

Thanks! :D

I'll probably make shitty tags (because I'm so bad :<) to link to my comics in my sig. (If i can figure out how? xD)

Soon to come(once i get more done to it) comics
Zelda: The Birth of the Shadow Link
Yu-Gi-Oh!: A New Era

Comics that I've thought about doing but might not get around to.
Magic the Gathering (MTG): Rise of the Heroes! (Title may change)
Naruto: The Legendary Nine (Title may change)

[Fistodragon]

Chapter 17 is now out! Who could Fisto's father be?

EDIT: Tinypic is being weird with the links so try to bear with it! (Any suggestions on a new image uploader?)

EDIT 2: The comics turn out to be a bit small in the spoiler tags. x_x

Umm...Idk what to say about that?

[Suicune's Fire]

Thanks! :D

No worries! 8D

Bahaha, you're not bad! Do you mean little userbars to advertise? You can make them by using Paint or something, and probably find some templates somewhere. xD

Haha, actually, the reason I started using imageshack is because I used to use photoshop, but it squashed my comic sizes. =/ I would recommend imageshack. x) Sometimes there's also a "reduce image size" tickbox that you have to make sure is unticked, otherwise it resizes your images.

Chapter 18

[Suicune's Fire]

You still need to edit your links properly so that they link to the actual picture, not the other link. x3

I've caught up, and I'm confused why Fisto's bublasaur was suddenly able to use solarbeam. Yes, you got rid of levels, but it's still a bulbasaur that has been with its trainer for like...half an hour. How could it already know solarbeam? As well as that, that was a really casual encounter between his dad and him. It was also random how Fisto was randomly unconscious after he just jumped out of the way of a hyper beam. He said his father's name, then was suddenly unconscious. xD Then he was knocked out at the Pokemon Center too, where his dad seemed to have dragged him? xD And Shaymin too?

There was no explanation why Shaymin was there, and if Serenity wanted it, why did she just leave it there when she vanished with that giratina? It's also odd that a random shaymin would suddenly agree to following a random kid it had never met before now. I'm tipping shaymin have important jobs, and for one to just agree to join this kid is unlikely and probably very irresponsible of it. XD As well as that, you never see Shaymin's opinion on anything...the father just sorta dictates what will happen and how the shaymin feels without consulting it first. Additionally, the father leaves with absolutely no concern for his son's safety, especially after his son encountered Team Metal, who he is apparently familiar with. I think, if I was that father, I would stick by my son's side and be really concerned about what might happen to him, especially after he was attacked.

I also don't know how the gym leader suddenly assumed he was a hero of legend. Wouldn't it take more than a single battle for him to be able to determine that? I mean, if anything, he should be impressed with the bulbasaur's exceptional power and ability to use higher-ranking moves at such a young age/low level. Not the trainer. XD He shouldn't get credit for an abnormally strong bulbasaur.

I'm not trying to bash the comic or anything, but it seems really rushed, and like everything is taking a but of an unrealistic turn. I mean, Fisto's just started his journey, and he's already got an overpowered starter, a LEGENDARY, and now a larvitar (who are well known to evolve into a very powerful pokemon), all for free. I also think you should take into account pokemon's genders. They all have genders so it would be suitable to include them in the narrative. I just wanted to point out some of the things I found odd and sudden, all of which you could work on to improve your comic. :]

Well done so far, although it would be nice to see these elements worked on.

I'm trying D: It's being very stubborn :<

I've caught up, and I'm confused why Fisto's bublasaur was suddenly able to use solarbeam.

It has to do with the ability of being the "trainer of legend". You see, the "trainer of legend" bonds with his Pokemon instantly as it's in his "blood". Bulbasaur being able to learn Solarbeam earlier was a "my bad" on my part (I was going to put Razor Leaf but I was tired and etc). I guess being able to learn Solarbeam earlier was a lucky break? (Ex. Red first met Bulbasaur and it was able to use Solarbeam to knock out a Machamp or Machoke. Pokemon RED comic or something like that).

As well as that, that was a really casual encounter between his dad and him.

Yes, I know. I didn't plan it to be this way but it just happened. Meh


It was also random how Fisto was randomly unconscious after he just jumped out of the way of a hyper beam. He said his father's name, then was suddenly unconscious. xD Then he was knocked out at the Pokemon Center too, where his dad seemed to have dragged him? xD And Shaymin too?

He wasn't "unconscious", he was just badly injured because the hyper beam slightly hit him.(Yes, it didn't look like it but that's what was suppose to happen). I cut the scene out of where his dad puts him and Shaymin on Druddigon and flies to the pokemon center.

There was no explanation why Shaymin was there, and if Serenity wanted it, why did she just leave it there when she vanished with that giratina? It's also odd that a random shaymin would suddenly agree to following a random kid it had never met before now.

There is an explanation that why shaymin was there that I will go into detail later in the series. Serenity left it there and vanished because even though she wanted shaymin's powers, she ran into Fisto's father which she still sorta has feelings for. (will go into another comic about their life story later). It agreed to follow the kid temporarily because, as you saw, Fisto and his father did save HER life.

the father just sorta dictates what will happen and how the shaymin feels without consulting it first. Additionally, the father leaves with absolutely no concern for his son's safety, especially after his son encountered Team Metal, who he is apparently familiar with. I think, if I was that father, I would stick by my son's side and be really concerned about what might happen to him, especially after he was attacked.

The father has the ability to speak to pokemon telepathically. (I will also go into detail with this later). He only left because he had to, not because he wanted to. You see, the father is a retired cop and a current gym leader. He is familiar with Team Metal because he use to have to spy on their actions up until he found out that Serenity is the leader.

I also don't know how the gym leader suddenly assumed he was a hero of legend. Wouldn't it take more than a single battle for him to be able to determine that? I mean, if anything, he should be impressed with the bulbasaur's exceptional power and ability to use higher-ranking moves at such a young age/low level. Not the trainer. XD He shouldn't get credit for an abnormally strong bulbasaur.

The 1st gym leader is actually one of the 5 who wrote the "prophecy". He felt the passion described in the prophecy and the connection between his pokemon making him believe that he could be the child of prophecy. (or the hero of legend). Yes, i do admit the bulbasaur should of got some credibility for his strength.


I'm not trying to bash the comic or anything, but it seems really rushed, and like everything is taking a but of an unrealistic turn.

It's a bit rushed but there will be fillers later on which slows the comic down a bit. Fillers won't come until his father and several other people tell him what's going on.

Fisto's just started his journey, and he's already got an overpowered starter, a LEGENDARY, and now a larvitar (who are well known to evolve into a very powerful pokemon), all for free.

Technically, Shaymin isn't his. Even though his father can speak to pokemon and assume their feelings, Shaymin does have a duty and cannot join him on his journey. Yes but Larvitar won't be a Tyranitar until near the end of his badge collecting.

I also think you should take into account pokemon's genders. They all have genders so it would be suitable to include them in the narrative. I just wanted to point out some of the things I found odd and sudden, all of which you could work on to improve your comic. :]
Well done so far, although it would be nice to see these elements worked on.

I am. And no, not all pokemon have genders. Thanks and I will work on these elements more, thanks!(:

Chapter 19 is now finished! It will be posted tomorrow along with Chapter 20 as well!

Aw. :C Well I do know there's the simple "link" and then there's the "direct link" and the direct link is what you want. If you can't reach that, just right-click on the image and go "Copy Image Location" to use that instead. :]

Ahh that makes more sense. See, the thing with that is, if you're going to include something of a legend, you need to include it earlier in the story. For instance, if you mentioned it in a prologue, or had a character talk about it earlier on and explain all that you're explaining to me now, then it would make more sense, and the readers would have something to go off. Otherwise, we're left confused and there's no explanation.


Yes, I know. I didn't plan it to be this way but it just happened. Meh

Oh, okay then. XD I understand that; I often do that in my stories. It's just that if it's going to happen, you have to make it convincing.

Oh really? See, that wasn't clear either. xD Because it's a comic, we need more explanation--you can't use description like in a story to let us know that he isn't unconscious; we have basic visuals to go off so you have to make the narrative strong. Wait, wait, wait a second. XD Take a look at this:
http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab27/fisto7/PokemonChapazRegionComicChapter18_zpsa8b5d75d.png

Quote from Dad: "Now that your conscious now..." See what I mean? He implied that his son was unconscious by saying "now that you're conscious." Also, "your" should be "you're" because it's short for "you are." There's also two "now"s in that sentence. I rest my case. xD


There is an explanation that why shaymin was there that I will go into detail later in the series. Serenity left it there and vanished because even though she wanted shaymin's powers, she ran into Fisto's father which she still sorta has feelings for.

Yes, i do admit the bulbasaur should of got some credibility for his strength.

But the fact that I have to ask this must give you some indication that you're not giving us enough to go off. I mean, I'm sure Fisto would have been confused, so even if he had asked about Serenity and why she just disappeared and left the shaymin there, then it would imply that it's going to be explained, rather than an inconsistency.

But we don't know that. xD As of now, we're only getting this tiny little perspective into the comic. No, I'm not saying that you should reveal all of this to us immediately, but you need to give some indication. Maybe some purple glow around another pokemon when he talks to it, or maybe have Fisto going, "What is he doing...?" or something. If there's absolutely no reference to it, even in the vaguest form, it just looks like an inconsistency.

I think that this isn't information that would need to be revealed, for instance, but if you had mentioned the hero of legend earlier in the comic (seriously, if you had one reference to it at the start of the comic, like an intro/prologue briefly mentioning it, everything would make so much more sense) it would be understandable why he's questioning that.


It's a bit rushed but there will be fillers later on which slows the comic down a bit. Fillers won't come until his father and several other people tell him what's going on.

Technically, Shaymin isn't his. Even though his father can speak to pokemon and assume their feelings, Shaymin does have a duty and cannot join him on his journey. Yes but Larvitar won't be a Tyranitar until near the end of his badge collecting.

I am. And no, not all pokemon have genders. Thanks and I will work on these elements more, thanks!(:

Okay, sounds good. :] Alrighty.

I know, but that's not at all clear. There was no sign of the father speaking telepathically to the shaymin, and there was no sign of shaymin making its own conscious decision. And haha, I know, but the point is that it's a powerful pokemon.

It's more the anime and the games that don't show pokemon with genders all the time. I believe every legendary has a gender (except maybe the regis), and the main reason they don't in the game is to be like "omg they're special guys!" and to add to the "why you can't breed them" thing. I think they didn't want to make legendaries have specific genders because they're meant to be deities, which often have debate over genders. I dunno. I give all my legendaries genders. XD No worries. :] I look forward to more!

[Fistodragon]

Aw. :C Well I do know there's the simple "link" and then there's the "direct link" and the direct link is what you want. If you can't reach that, just right-click on the image and go "Copy Image Location" to use that instead. :]

Ahh that makes more sense. See, the thing with that is, if you're going to include something of a legend, you need to include it earlier in the story. For instance, if you mentioned it in a prologue, or had a character talk about it earlier on and explain all that you're explaining to me now, then it would make more sense, and the readers would have something to go off. Otherwise, we're left confused and there's no explanation.



Oh, okay then. XD I understand that; I often do that in my stories. It's just that if it's going to happen, you have to make it convincing.

Oh really? See, that wasn't clear either. xD Because it's a comic, we need more explanation--you can't use description like in a story to let us know that he isn't unconscious; we have basic visuals to go off so you have to make the narrative strong. Wait, wait, wait a second. XD Take a look at this:
http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab27/fisto7/PokemonChapazRegionComicChapter18_zpsa8b5d75d.png

Quote from Dad: "Now that your conscious now..." See what I mean? He implied that his son was unconscious by saying "now that you're conscious." Also, "your" should be "you're" because it's short for "you are." There's also two "now"s in that sentence. I rest my case. xD



But the fact that I have to ask this must give you some indication that you're not giving us enough to go off. I mean, I'm sure Fisto would have been confused, so even if he had asked about Serenity and why she just disappeared and left the shaymin there, then it would imply that it's going to be explained, rather than an inconsistency.

RE-RELEASED CHAPTER 18

Yes, the shitty aura and the green line under Fisto's father is him talking to shaymin telepathically. (I will improve on it later).

[Suicune's Fire]

LOL fair enough! It's a good start!

AND BETTER! I like this one more. xD I can tell you that doing a green/blue outline around them would be a good idea, so if you want to do that next time, you could. :] And also put maybe a few ellipsis (...ellipsi? xD) in the panel that you're doing the telepathy in, it'll show that something's happening. With this, I went around the outlines:

Sorry for the delay! Just was busy etc. xD

(Got top 4 at my local tournament for MTG) (p.s: it was a 9 person draft LOL)

Anyways, I'm back and should have the next comic up soon!

[Fistodragon]

[Fistodragon]

Dear PokemonCrossroad members,

I am trying the best I can to get these comics up ATLEAST once a week(1-4 of them). School and family time have pushed comic time away from me and etc. I think I'll be able to finish the next few comics by tomorrow :) (or tonight) and yeah. Anyways, happy thanksgiving (late) to all of you guys~

Love,

The one and only

Fistodragon

[Fistodragon]

Ok, I know I promised a comic last month and ugh..just been so busy (finals, school, etc.)

I'll 100% have one up before Christmas.

[Fistodragon]

as promised


comic 21 !

XD Lol, he learned it on the Discovery Channel! By the way, adding the "(Photosynthesis)" thing in there is unnecessary. XD You shouldn't have brackets in people's speech. It's a little tacky honestly.

Anyway, it's been ages since I checked back here. D: Nice to see it's still going! 8D I hope you haven't encountered problems with it. :c We all know life can get busy though, so nobody blames you. :D

I'm a little sceptical about that bulbasaur being able to defeat an espeon, especially when the espeon has a type advantage. I also think that the battle animations you've used could be better. here's some you might prefer to use:

http://www.spriters-resource.com/resources/sheets/4/3860.png
http://www.spriters-resource.com/resources/sheets/26/28882.png
Diamond/Pearl attacks (http://www.spriters-resource.com/ds/pkmndiamondpearl/sheet/21068/) (not many)
Ranger 3 attacks (http://www.spriters-resource.com/ds/pokemonrangertol/sheet/41335/)


I'm also curious about that mew following him. xD Anyway. Keep it up. :]

~SF.

[Fistodragon]

XD Lol, he learned it on the Discovery Channel!

Idk, I just had to haha (;

By the way, adding the "(Photosynthesis)" thing in there is unnecessary. XD You shouldn't have brackets in people's speech. It's a little tacky honestly.

Mmkay. Just was showing what Bulbasaur was watching on Discovery Channel but I think Solarbeam kinda makes it obvious already


Anyway, it's been ages since I checked back here. D: Nice to see it's still going! 8D I hope you haven't encountered problems with it. :c We all know life can get busy though, so nobody blames you. :D

Yea(:and yup, I try to get one in every so often. Might start on one today.

I'm a little sceptical about that bulbasaur being able to defeat an espeon, especially when the espeon has a type advantage.

I started leaning towards how ash(or in my case, Fisto) was NEARLY unbeatable, etc. but I think I'm going to actually think things out before..yea lol.

I also think that the battle animations you've used could be better. here's some you might prefer to use

I know, couldn't find much lol. THANKS!


I'm also curious about that mew following him. xD

Hehe (; Don't worry, Mew will appear again soon


Anyway. Keep it up. :]

Thanks!

xD Fair enough. Things like brackets that is you talking to us through where their speech is meant to be is what I meant. It sort of takes away from the immersion, if you know what I mean. It's the same with stories. :] (Though worse in stories. xD)

That's good. :D You should! We don't have any other comics going on this site I don't think. :C I'd start one up if they weren't so tedious. xD Whenever I try to start comics, it ends up going nowhere lol.

And yeah, I got that unbeatable vibe. xD Just make sure you keep it believable. :]

NO WORRIES! I hope it helps! 8D They're hard to come by. xD

Awesome. c: Looking forward to more!


~SF.

[Rival Max]

Oh man, I cant wait to see how the battle ends. I was a really shocked Bulb took down an Espeon !

[Fistodragon]

You and me both xD I'm back and wow i cant believe its been almost 3 months

[Fistodragon]

http://oi57.tinypic.com/10i5kc7.jpg Chapter 22 is now out!

EDIT: "I will" part wasn't necessary xD

[Fistodragon]

Alright alright. Didn't post a comic yesterday because it was my bday but anyways....COMIC 23 WILL MOST LIKELY BE UP TONIGHT!

[Fistodragon]

Note: Around Comic 50 will be the end of "Chapaz Region". BUT It will continue as

"Pokemon: A Dark Beginning "

Which is part 2 of the Chapaz series!!!!! How many parts will there be is unknown though!!

1st part: 50 comics
2nd part: estimate of 100

2nd part will be a time jump of age.

Fisto will be in his 20's and so will other characters like Elsa and Silver.

More to be described as we approach 50!


Edit: added 2 years of age to everyone. It hasn't been 2 years but I felt that 17 seems more 'suited'

[Fistodragon]

http://oi61.tinypic.com/2gvrpma.jpg Chapter 23!

Oh...what's this? Fisto's got a new style!? And could it be that Elsa is starting to like Fisto!?

EDIT: Should be "Go" instead of "Out"

[Dragon Master Mike]

Hey, just thought I would let you know that I'm featuring your comic in my section of the weekly comic feature!

Hey, just thought I would let you know that I'm featuring your comic in my section of the weekly comic feature!

http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/pokemon-trainer-sprite-comics-4-worlds-collide/

Really!? Thanks!! I'm honored :D

[Fistodragon]

Been busy with magic the gathering tournaments lately. I'll post a comic soon =)

[Fistodragon]

I'll be back in June for comics. Have to catch up on school work (BLAH)

[Fistodragon]

Alright, my next comic will be up either today or tomorrow :) I love alot of the HG/SS and D/P sprites so I decided I might make an alternate comic besides this one :o They will both be updated frequently and when I get some comics going on it, I'll post the thread for it!

Bullet Point Info On Newest Pokemon Comic (THIS IS NOT A SEQUEL TO CHAPAZ, THERE WILL POTENTIALLY BE ONE AT A LATER TIME).

>One of the main characters (one of them being me) is a "detective" like person. He loves mysteries, artifacts,treasure, and anything that fits in that category. (He especially loves the Alph Ruins? Its the place where the Unowns live) I haven't named him yet but his partner is a _____ ;). That's something you will find out later hehe. He's 19. His love interests are also unown (see what i did there? c; )

>It takes place in the Johto region for a bit and then it will later progress into a whole new region (possibly).

>There will be an evil organization but the name and their goal is undetermined.

[Fistodragon]

I finished the banner for it :)

http://i59.tinypic.com/9r28hz.png

What do you guys think?

[Fistodragon]

http://oi61.tinypic.com/35jjk7n.jpg Chapter 24 is now out!! I'll try to start on Chapter 25 tonight haha :)

Sorry for the previous comic links redirecting you to tinypic instead of it sending you directly to the comic. Idk why Tinypic does that but yeah. Just bear with me D:

EDIT: I finally edited the Character Bios!! I've revealed most of the trainer's pokemon to you guys because I feel like I would probably just forget later down the road lol. Fisto and Silver, however, will be edited as we move along. Could Silver make a come back in my comic? I guess you'll have to find out in Comic 25! Bulbasaur had evolved into Ivysaur during some off scenes training (sorry :C) Let me wrap this up by saying this, what do YOU guys want to see more of in my comic?

1)Romance (More Elsa x Fisto moments. I really don't have any right now lol)
Silver x ??? Yup, that's right....Silver will get a cr- well I shouldn't spoil too much ;)

Zyon x ??? Yes, Zyon also gets one of those people who obsess over him haha.

2) Action (More battling, etc.?)

3) Comedy (Funny moments like....maybe Fisto rappin- Nahh...maybe haha)

I don't know xD just let me know guys! Comic 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, and MAYBE 30 all up tomorrow (Yes, I'm really pumped to try and COMPLETE ALL OF THESE haha). I'm getting tired and should rap this up :3 Waiting on Suicune to complete my sprite request to start on my OTHER series that isn't apart of the Chapaz series. Uhh I don't think I'm missing anything....so later :)

[Fistodragon]

http://oi57.tinypic.com/vq62hi.jpg Chapter 25 is now out! :)

[Fistodragon]

Haven't done one of these in awhile but I'll try to get on track soon. School is coming up so my activity has been quite low ^_^"

[Fistodragon]

http://oi57.tinypic.com/2eyknxg.jpg Here is Chapter 26! It was 90% complete for awhile now but just was never around to finish it lol

[Fistodragon]

Stay tuned for Chapter 27! I'll try to do a new comic daily or so. I wasn't aware that this was moved so I had to find it haha

[Fistodragon]

Chapter 27!

http://i58.tinypic.com/ztg7e8.png

[Suicune's Fire]

I'm so sorry I've been incredibly slack when it comes to following your comic! I was only up to the 22nd page. Goodness me. xD Good on Fisto for winning a badge! I think changing the age to 17 makes more sense too. :] However, I have a few criticisms...

1) The gym leader spoke out loud about her deceased younger brother who Fisto reminded her of, and although that does give her a bit of an excuse to go easy on him, the way she explained it was very robotic and a little too exposition heavy, meaning that it wasn't tactfully crafted into the script. It's likely something she would think, so if it was in italics then it would be clear that she was thinking, not saying it out loud. Otherwise, that's a little bit of a strange thing for someone to say out loud. I mean, she already KNOWS that, so telling herself is sort of redundant.

2) Try not to make your characters seem plastic. Elsa seems like a five year old who is smitten with someone offering them candy. xD It's just odd that someone would walk up to a stranger and quote Call Me Maybe (as amusing as that part was), and ask to travel with them. For all she knows, he could be a mass murderer. You've often got to create a reason for people to want to travel together. When making characters, don't think of them as sprites in your comic--think of them as people. Real people with real hopes, dreams, personalities, goals, wants, likes, dislikes, and more. It doesn't make for a very good comic if your characters aren't believable!

2.a) Not only did Elsa just meet him, but now she's buying him clothes and finding him adorable off the bat? I dunno, I would think she would at least need a bit more screen time to be acting this way. I mean, maybe it's just her personality or something, but it's not that believable if it's immediate.

3) On page #23, there's barely anything. The squares are incredibly bare and the first panel is the strangest, with this tiny little cave with cut off edges. Then inside the cave, it's very, very plain. Usually caves are a little more interesting than that. Even having a wall or something would make all the difference. Also, in the last panel, the whole scene has been shifted to the side, which is weird because there's nothing happening off to the left. Keeping things centred is a good idea if there's nothing going on around. Also I found it very odd that Elsa said ONE word for the entire page. She needs more character than that. =/

4) Elsa still hasn't said anything for another two pages. On page 25, she should at least have screamed or said something. On top of that, I don't think the narrator fit very well just coming in there and commentating. I think it would have been much more appropriate if Elsa, for instance, said something like "Oh my, Larvitar jumped out of his poké ball to save you!" or something. And also, Zyon says "would of" when the correct wording is "would have."

5) Zyon just ran off as soon as Silver and Tony's pokemon popped up...but both pokemon have a type disadvantage to his MEGA blaziken. I would at least expect him to try to snag the stone, give that he was so close to it. Also, when Silver and Tony appeared, Fisto didn't even turn to them to talk to them. It seems a little odd is all. You've got a lot to think about when making sprite comics.

As for what I want to see in the comic more, definitely some character development. It was really odd that Elsa attached herself to Fisto like she did, with basically nothing on her mind but "omgiluvhim." And then she said a total of ONE WORD for the next few pages. More attention to pacing would be good too, as some thing seem very stale and rushed.

I think it's great that you're doing a sequel! 8D Awesome. And lel:

"His love interests are also unown (see what i did there? c; )"

Brilliant. XD I think the new protagonist sounds interesting too. Anyway, I'm sorry to go on so much and I hope I don't discourage you. Really, I just want to help you get better and realise some things that you can improve upon. :] I hope you really enjoy making these comics and get some more up when you're ready! 8D

Do you read any other sprite comics? I think if you don't, then you certainly should to get a feel for how they do it, and maybe take some tips from them. :] Reading non-sprite comics or even stories would be just as good of an idea. Anyway, good luck!

Thanks for the feedback!! Here are my responses to some of your points:

- The last few pages were rushed indeed and this SHOULDN'T happen in the future.
- I do tend to read a few other sprite comics here and there
- The whole 'omgiluvhim' thing was a bit random, yes , but I think of it as lust.
- Don't worry! Elsa is just a bit speechless from everything that just had happened xD She will speak in future pages.
- Other reasons on to why she just instantly joined Fisto, will hopefully (if everything goes as planned) be spoiled in future pages or in the sequel.
- Although Zyon did flee from battle after Tony and Silver showed up, even though he had type advantage over BOTH pokemon, He felt that the stone wasn't worth taking when there are 4 TOTAL TRAINERS in his presence who could overwhelm him if he wasn't careful.
- About the "reminds me of ___" part...did i really make it seem like they talked out loud? xD Oops. That will be fixed in the future with the italics (like you suggested).

NEWS ON THE OTHER POKEMON COMIC:

It shall be started shortly. Might be today or next week. We'll see ;)

No worries, honey! Can I just say, I love how positive you remain even when I harshly criticise you...which I do. XD It's cute. I love optimism! ^-^ And it's good to know I don't offend people! XD

It's good you read other ones. :] I really want to get an old Blue Nuzlocke comic back up (once I make a plot for it xD) because I miss doing it! AND LOL LUST. Well, if you say so. xD Gosh, she must be pretty lonely. I'm glad she'll speak soon. xD

Ahaha the reason will be spoiled, rather than revealed. Love it. True about Zyon and running away. x) Sometimes I point things out like that to challenge you and make sure you've thought of it, haha.

Yep, it sounded like she was speaking aloud. XD Okay, sounds good. Words in italics are universally known as thoughts, so it's always clear. :] Or emphasis. But the difference is usually obvious. xD

Sounds good! x) Keeping me hanging, haha.

This series will be starting up again very soon! School is almost out

Well I promised a few comics when I got out of school but as you can tell....this post is almost a year old now xD As far as getting comics back up on a weekly basis, we'll see. I'll check to see if I have free time tomorrow. NONETHELESS, there should be a comic next week (I PROMISE). I have a job now so time is now cut short. Great to be back~

Chapter 28!

[Fistodragon]

Funny enough i think i had this comic almost finished for quite some time now lol. I didn't realize i had been gone nearly 2 years (in terms of making comics). I'm hopefully back and will start to pump out more material! I'm going to have some sign-ups for some character ideas in my plot so keep your eyes open.

TLDR; I've been gone for a bit and i got some new stuff happening soon. Here is Chapter 29!

Nice to see you back, Fistodragon! I like how in page 28 you have a bunch of pokemon in the background. I think it adds to the scene quite nicely! However, page 29 has a lot of bare space where there could be something even as simple as trees, grass, a pond, or a path. Little details like that keep the reader interested. When the whole square is plain, it's uninteresting, even if there are some things going on. Additionally, it would have been good if, when Silver and Fisto walked closer to the weedle, the "camera" changed so that they were more centered. That way, there's less blank space all around. Having a completely plain square except for three small sprites in the very top corner looks quite empty.

Anyway, keep it up! Just remember, adding a few details makes the entire scene look 1000% times better and will only take you an extra few minutes. The last thing you want is your readers getting bored.

It's okay! As long as you take it on board and keep it in mind for next time, that's what matters. And if you need any help with the comic at any time, let me know. :)

Noted. Thank you ^_^ Do you happen to have the banner for my comic somewhere? I kinda misplaced it and the photobucket link is expired.

EDIT: Nevermind. Made my own

No worries. :D

I think it's lost, unfortunately. :( It's still on my photobucket account but when I click on it, it shows up with that broken image thing. A lot of my other images show up fine so it must be because it's being used somewhere? I don't know haha.

It was used on PE2K

Yeah but Pe2k's dead so it shouldn't affect that but who knows. I like the new banner though!

True... yeah idk either XD and thanks! Decided to keep it simple. I do plan on making a sequel to this comic but i just don't know where to draw the line...like...leave a cliff hanger and determining where that would be. Brandon "Fisto" still has 6 gyms to beat and the E4. Thoughts?

xD All good! Hm, do you want a sequel for the sake of having a sequel, or do you want to start a new arc? If that's the case, I'd say do it after he's defeated all the gyms, but it depends what you have planned, really. If you want to have a sequel to have another comic, then maybe splitting it down the middle? But there'd sort of have to be a point to starting a new one, you know what I mean?

I can pitch you the idea i was thinking about in PM. That's if you are okay with spoilers lol.

EDIT: Yup, pretty much a sequel for a new arc

[Fistodragon]

Just realized that most of my more recent comics' links were broken. I have re-uploaded them and I plan to have a new comic or two tomorrow (that goes for the other comic im doing too).

[Fistodragon]

UPDATE:

I am indeed still around xD I mainly just lurk. I will be continuing with both of my series' very soon! I have a couple completed as of right now but I wanted to try a upload schedule. I will want to complete my next 10 comics for each series before posting my next one on here.Why? It's just backup just in-case i can't work on any for X amount of time and not keep you guys in the shadows lol..

Update on life stuff:

Life is going alright. I have a job which is good xD (Even though it's the same job i have been at since 2016) but im actually trying to either A) find a full time or B) get another part time. I will need money to eventually move out and fund schooling which should start for me this upcoming August. Probably the 27th.

I could probably keep going if i wanted to but I don't want to annoy you guys with a block of text.

TLDR; The comic series should be arriving shortly again and i thank you all for your patience! I appreciate the support.
