I wonder if they just sit at the office. “Hey, we’re running out of Pokemon ideas. Our deadline is lik-Johnson, is that a vanilla ice cream cone?”
“…yeah?”
“I’ve got an idea.”
I don’t mind the ice cream-ness of Vanilluxe, but I don’t get the idea of Pokemon with more than one head or brain. But that’s been around since Generation I.
This is hilarious and quite coincidental as I have a friend who just broke up with his boyfriend PRECISELY BECAUSE he didn’t like Pokemon (and didn’t believe in evolution I think). But yeah, nice comic relief.
jeez
its all relative. you like the first 151 because they were just that, first and therefore you had nothing to base it off of. now people are just being jaded about their pokemon….hrmph…
Balderdash. The original designs were as simple as possible because of the hardware limitations. You knew what you were looking at (most of the time.) As each generation has come out, the designs have become more complex and less based in reality or common folklore.
The newest two generations have a lot of over-designing simply because it’s possible. Piplup and its evolutions, for instance. The last one in that evo line doesn’t even make linear sense.
Just wanted to let you know, in case it would jack up your archiving or anything, that the date for this comic seems to be incorrectly referring to March 5th instead of March 15th.
Just discovered the comic today (linked from Octopus Pie) and loved it. Read the whole archives in one sitting!
I do this comic for free, but if you like it and have a little extra to throw my way, I'd very much appreciate it.

Ruben’s a tool. Vanilluxe for life.
I gotta go with Ruben on this one. I thought the same thing when I saw Trubbish.
/such a nerd
I just googled that. Trash bag pokemon? TRASH BAG POKEMON?
The biggest offender in the whole pokemon cannon is Nosepass and his evolution, I mean seriously? A nose pokemon!!! >=[
I’m with Ruben, too. It’s all about the original 151, SON!

Vanilluxe is ugly, but at least it has good stats. And I guess I can forgive Trubbish, too, because its name is adorable.
But yeah, I hate the Pokemon fandom’s habit of automatically hating anything new.

My giant turtle with cannons on it’s back is way more realistic than an ice cream cone pokemon.
God.
Why can’t everything look like this forever!

I love the old sprites. They are so derpy looking.
I caught a Tympole and named him Testicle.
I’m not turning 24 this summer, I swear.

I didn’t think it was possible to adore ben2 more than I already do. I was clearly mistaken.

I’d hate to see his reaction to the Litwick evolution chain.
*just caught a Litwick 5 minutes ago*
I named my Litwick Emo Candle because LOOK AT IT.
