Comics - Chapter 6 Page 63

Yes, first post! You don't know how long I've been trying to achieve that! :3

I love Mokepon :D Your drawings are very unique and amazing. I can't wait for more~!

Page numbering error? Hey h0ly I think you labelled page 63 as page 60 ; v;
P.S. Go DT! Burn that Onix!

!!! I love what's happening here. <3

It's always the eye's...except when it's the tail!

I think it's just me, but I swear DT looks surprised at the very bottom; like she didn't expect her attack to work that well. That or Bob is being over-dramatic.

Rraaaagh! Fire right in the eyeeees!

It's vulnerable there, yeah?

And the entire time, I just think about how DT still fights by herself, and Atticus doesn't give any commands.
Where is that connectioonnnn? ;-;

HAHA It burned instead of scratched xD oh ur such a cruel charrywarry

Onix, Onix he's our 'mon
if he can't do it--GREAT

... So I guess this is what the games always mean by
CRITICAL HIT!

Ahah, this was so beyond epic, all of the action and expressions. Great job!
Hope Dragonthing's tail flame is okay though, I don't know how it could still be burning after that.

Ah! I see what you did there. Good Aladin reference.

And I was all hoping I was the ONLY person to get that reference right away. Sadly, I'm not *that* awesome :( everyone else got it before me

Neat work with the panels. Also, good use of perspectives since the last page. DT's face doesn't look half bad in that 2nd and 6th panel :P I'm kinda concerned about that first panel though... It would almost seem as if it had crushed those bones =/ Otherwise I don't think a tail would look like a stretchy toy.

This arc done yet?

Ahhh, gotta love the anime/manga mechanics. In the games it wouldn't work like that, but with an artist calling the shots, aiming for vulnerable areas like the eyes or inside the mouth and such are viable victory strategies. ( i.e. see 'Pikachu's Sprinkler Pewter Gym' win)
Love it!

Enemy ONIX's
hurt by the burn!

Critical hit!

It's not very effective...

Go Dragonthing!!!

GOD that was fierce.

Onix's Special Defense is very low. That's the reason it was possible to beat this gym with a charmeleon in the games.

I can see DT winning this.

I'm impressed.. .. by the range of emotions you can get out of a charmeleon's face. Well done, H0ly.

Pow right in the kisser....

Pow right in the kisser...

Now bob's as blind as his owner.

Ineffective attack will be ineffective. Then again, this is Mokepon, not Pokemon....

That just goes to show to never look a DragonThing in the mouth

@Guest: Bob: Without Atticus, DT... You're Nothing!

DT: Atticus... ATTY! Atticus will have more power than you'll ever have!

Atty: DT, what are you doing, why are you bringing me into this? |D

Blinded by the fire to the eyes? Will they both be blind now? Ha! I hope so! That'd be amazing!

DT deserves at pat on the head after this battle. Mushy love and appreciation doesn't seem Atty's style but a head pat shouldn't be to much.

What the hell? Dragonthing should be dead. Onix totally just put out its tail flame. Though that's probably the dumbest and most recognizable stipulation in all of Pokemon, and I wouldn't put it past the author if he decided to disregard it.

Soo... No Metal Claw to the face? Kay.

@-_-: oh go troll elsewhere, this arc is taking it's natural time to complete. It's not gunna be rushed just because idiots like you want it to.Just enjoy the god damn comic and quit your whining.

would be awesome if DT had accidentally picked up the (RBY only!) TM for dragon rage. That would be GG for Onix :p

As usual, those cute and adorable eyes always make you sympathetic :3

Tail Flame @GoogerGeiger: Oh holy cow, you're totally right about that tail flame. Considering that the few rules H0ly seems to like to keep from the games are the gruesome or life-threatening ones, I'm surprised she didn't address it.

"Bob, Bob, he's our Onix; if he can't do it GREAT!"

Black eye Now, atty isnt the only one with a black eye!

BD good thing this isn't a nuzlocke

....or is it? *cue dramatic dun-dun-duuuuun!-*

Cause I mean...there have been many fatalities in this comic, that one pidgey, need I even mention Viridian Forest~ <3

That is a very cute combat charmeleon, I have to say.

Genie Rick 'em rack 'em rattle rake. Metal Claw that Boulder Snake!

Ow fire in the eyes!
Nice work on the battle scenes

Isn't the "Tailfire dead, so are you" thing only for Charmanders?

You go girl!!!!

An eye for a tail. Doesn't sound quite fair to me, but who am eye to judge?

Tail fire The best explanation I heard of how the tail fires work is that they represent the healthiness of the pokemon, rather than keeping it alive:
If the pokemon is healthy, the flame burns bright. If it's very sick, the flame will diminish, and it goes out as the pokemon dies. Extinguishing the flame externally doesn't harm the pokemon at all, it just reignites when it's able to.

That's probably a fan-theory, but it makes a whole lot more sense than "Extraneous external fire got smothered? DEAD"

I need someone to help me make a comic I have started making scripts so am not that good but the thing is i cant draw my drawings are horible and i wanna make a comic about pokemon nibecraft or two gaming friends please help me someone

Tail Fire Theory @Tesseract: My theory was that:

1) Onix aren't completely round. There's going to be air under there somewhere.
2) Obviously the next course of action was the Tail Fire heating up the rock and causing instant removal of Rock Tail from Fire Tail.

.. and then I realised that Onix probably don't have the same pain receptors as mammals, considering they're made out of rock.

So I have no idea what the next course of action will be, so flaming the eyes is a good start!

Also.. One Onix. Two Onixs.. Onixes.. Two Onix. Hmmm.

Aladin! but...if rock thing eats her, then he can't win her for Elle! and then she'd break up with Stein...and he'd be sad...and forfeit the match and that would not be fun

XD

Tail Fire @GoogerGeiger:
Technically, the tail fire thing is only in Charmander's Pokedex entry. it may not affect Charmeleons and Charizards in the same way.
From the FireRed entry:
Charmander: From the time it is born, a flame burns at the tip of its tail. Its life would end if the flame were to go out.
No Pokedex entries of Charmeleon or Charizard state that their fire is their life force.

@FireIceLighting: That's because the lenght of the Pokedex entries are very limited. It's pointless to write the same thing as their previous forms. The tail flames of both Charmeleon and Charizard still burn more intensely when angered, and burn weakly when weakened (do watch the Charizard chills and Charizific Island episodes if you want some proof).

On that note, I'm also on the side that believes that it's the life force that determines the strength of the fire, and not the other way around. Thus, while an unlit tail would mean that the pokemon's life has ended, putting out the fire would not kill the pokemon itself (although it could weaken it if you consider it as a weak spot... kinda like the saiyan tails from Dragon Ball...)

loved the Aladin quote!! <3

I think what people fail to realize here is that clearly, Dragonthing did a LOT of training after evolving.

That's clearly Flamethrower. DT is at least L31 (if it learned it before evolving). Which put DT dangerously close to jumping to that third-stage of Charizardness at 36ish...

I haven't been commenting, but I'm loving everything that's going on in this. :3

you people have it wrong if a charmander dies its tail flame goes out, im pretty sure it dosn't work the other way around

@Kelloe: If you go by the anime, the first episode where it shows charmander (its raining and cold) I believe the person with ash tell him if the tail fire goes out the pokemon would die.

@Guest: naw it's ember. H0ly said that we'd know it it was flamethrower, and this clearly is not flamethrower. Moreover, in RBY, charmeleon does not learn flamethrower until 42.

One thing I'd like to see implemented in the games (one that you use well) is targeting specific areas of the body. There was a Hoenn episode (don't remember which one) that included a Camerupt, where hitting its face would deal extra damage but cause it to go berserk. Adding a target feature would make the games feel more alive, at least for me.

That chant keeps making me think of Aladdin.... o-e

Broken tail is broken

@SeaRabbits: Onices? :D

"you ssssstay out of thissssss"

God I would always watch that last fight of Aladdin. The genie is awesome.

ALADDIN. Uh hmm. Sorry. You got that chant from the Genie in Aladdin. It was my fav movie when I was young...
