Happy 1st Birthday PMDXR!

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Crossroads
One Year Anniversary

Huzzah! We've managed to keep this project going for an entire year. Isn't that exciting? 1 year, 23 pages, 151 panels, and a grand total of 211 characters. When you think about it, that's quite a lot of drawing that we did! Y'all should be so proud of the progress that's been made!

To celebrate, we're going to reflect back on the year and recall our favorite moments throughout the last year. This isn't a contest but a way to highlight the work and achievements of our participants! Everyone here deserves a huge round of applause and recognition for their hard work! Below are several categories- I'd like everyone to pick a moment for each that they feel fits best. You can pick more than one for each. For an added challenge, say what you like best about each page of the comic! SHARE THE LOVE.


Now For the Topics!

- Favorite Character: Who has claimed that place as your favorite so far?

- Favorite Character Design: Share your favorite character designs!

- That Character you Love to Hate: Who is that one character who is just so awful you hate them but you still love them because of it?

- Favorite Page: Can be for any reason like content or art.

- Favorite Panel: Same as favorite page, except for panels. There's only 151 to pick from. No pressure.

- Favorite Quote/s: Witty, Profound, Silly, etc? What were the quotes that you enjoyed most!

Here's my picks!

Favorite Character

How do you not love this face?




Favorite Character Design



Badass looking Ninetales is badass.




That Character you Love to Hate



We haven't seen much of him yet, but I can already tell I'm gonna love/hate this dude.




Character you want to see more of



This guy right here. Can I start a petition to make him part of the team? Yes? No?




Favorite Page



If only just for the facial expressions!




Favorite Panel



Honestly, Natalya. This isn't the time for popcorn. (Also Bonus points for D&D Reference.)




Favorite Quote/s

"Well, despite that I'm sure you've heard of me. The bravest, the most daring, the most powerful- PRANKSTER!"

"Like I said, Number One Prankster. Everyone is always after me!"
"You know that's not really a good thing, right?"

Favorite Backgrounds




So many to pick from! I'd pick them all if I could!




The "Why do you hate yourself" page



To the brave soul who painted the page instead of lining/inking.




Favorite Moments



Poor Ed getting dragged along against his will.




Favorite Battle



Vs Team Shadowlash




Cliffhangers!




Bonus points for the pages after these panels being extra late. xD




Favorite Plot Twists



Easily my favorite twist. It's really shaped the story so far!




Favorite Mysteries



You'll be what, Ed?!




What does the stone do? How does it protect Ed from their tracking him? What link does it have to dimensions and legendary Pokemon. WHY DOES ED HAVE IT?!

Also, will Ed ever get to start his entrance exam for the Crossroads Guild?




Most Improved

Huge Shout out to both NobleJanobii and NeonUmbreon for their efforts! On the first rotation of artists both of them enlisted the help of other artists for colors/lines- but on their second turns they both completed the pages 100% on their own. They deserve a HUGE round of applause for their hard work and efforts. We've got so many artists here with varying levels of experience and it's refreshing to see some of us leave our comfort zones and push ourselves further than before. Comic making is a huge undertaking for even the most practiced artists. Y'all are awesome. Don't ever forget that!

Other favorites

The fact that it took us sixteen entire pages before we said Edgar's name on panel. I mean really, guys. xD Some of us over on the discord were just screaming for each page that went up without his name. It was actually kinda funny. =D

And my favorite thing of all? EVERYONE WHO IS HERE. Seriously. Y'all are the best.
