Comics - Chapter 10 Page 2

I love how accurate the route is to the actual game

First! Wow, even in a webcomic with like, 6 comments per do. I get ridiculously excited for being first

Dang, not first

American flag spotted! I guess da mean its full of exploding clefairies ready to break Atty mind XD

Welp the bribe didn't work. Back to town Atty to get more lemonade.

He should try with the hot tea instead :P

What? The bribe didn't work?! But... but... the lemonade!

Man, that guy is such an asshole for not accepting a bribe in the form of lemonade.

Should have used flamethrower.

That American flag better be on Lt. Surge's Gym,I'm going to yell at you for such a huge error. Kanto is based off an area in Japan (not the actually Kanto area, but I forget exactly which one it was). Anyways, Pokemon effectively takes place in JAPAN, not America.
I'm fine with him not excepting the bribe, though. That's probably you just keeping us on our toes/doing exactly what we expected you not to do and laugh at our reactions.

@Broktus: What American Flag? I see a flag that has a similar set up to the American Flag, but is too far away for any details other than something in the corner...which is not a specifically American thing. Australia comes to mind.
And anyways.
Pokemon takes place in a FAKE country (doesn't matter what each region is based off of). So I'm assuming if you could enhance this like in Blade Runner and look closer it would be a fake flag.

@HopefulHotaru: Also... HAVE YOU NOT SEEN THE GYM LEADER!!

Seriously American flag isn't that far off. Especially when considering he was a freaking WAR VET! That's right WAR VET!

As for you... @HopefulHotaru: That is not an Australian flag- there is not enough dark color to represent blue and the flag in the comic has stripes on it, so HA!

Also, I understand that web comics are the author's interpretation of the game/anime/manga/etc., but H0ly has been following the canon to the point where it's a recurring joke. If you plan to use the failed bribe against me, then know that the guards only excepted tea that's hot enough to burn the drinker's tongue.

@Broktus: What makes you think it's an error? Lt. Surge is the Lightning American, after all.

@Broktus: Considering h0ly lives in the UK, it wouldn't even make sense to put in an American flag unless it was purposeful.

Also, while the earlier regions of Pokemon are certainly based on Japan, it's still a fictional world, and this is a webcomic author's interpretation of it. National accuracy is kind of loose, especially when you consider that these characters are supposedly speaking in an English dialect.

@Broktus: Are you stupid or did you make a mistake?

Surge is an American. He lives at the base in Tokyo. Of course he’ll have a US flag.

Pokemon unlimited @Broktus:.....its a comic dude. plus why cant pokemon take place anywhere else owo hey u can only go to japan to catch pokemon?! whaaaa lol

I get his game. Pretend to accept a bribe, then reject the drink-giver anyway.

I'll bet he's got a whole stash stored under that desk.

Thought that'd work. It works early in the game. Looks like the guard got wise in those 10+ years of working there.

Did Atty just bypass a battle there in the final panel?

Well...isn't Pokemon XY pretty much Paris? All the cafes and French words thrown in there. Not to mention THE GIANT TOWER. I'm just saying :)

@Maggie: Pokemon 1 - 4 (Original through Diamon/Pearl)are regions of Japan. Black and White is based off of the US, and X/Y is supposed to be Europe in general, the major city in it being Paris.

While the Pokemon world is fictional, it's still based on real locations. Kanto and Johto in central Japan, with Hoenn in southern Japan, and Sinnoh in northern Japan. Unova is in the Manhatten area, and Kalos in the Paris area. I wouldn't be surprised if gen 7 takes place in the UK or Canada, or even Russia.

@Shadow51247: yes when pokemon is set in canada there will be many ice types. as well as a new type called maple syrup. strong against rock grass and normal. weak against bug.

@drako234: I'd be more excited for Vodkamon

@Shadow51247: Kalos is based on France. Only Lumiose City is based on Paris. I'm expecting Gen 7 to be based on Spain, personally.

well unova is set in the state

Wait. Did he just skip the entire part with the tunnel? That escalated quickly XD

Taking something without giving something back in return!? MADNESS!

Hmm... bribing the guard with a beverage didn't work... maybe you need to beat up the entire local police force down at the station?

CURSES!
They found out!
*readies weapons*

You're all forgetting that the Gym Leader is almost certainly not the gruff Lieutenant, as H0ly has used her own characters for the first two Gyms

@Guest: Thank you, Guest-didn'tenteraname.

To all those who used Lt. Surge against me- Yes, that is the location of the Vermillion Gym, but Lt. Surge is almost certainly not in Mokepon at all. And H0ly's Gym leaders do not have the same backgrounds/personalities as the ones in the games/anime.

Also Unova being based in the US is trues but completely irrelevant- this is Kanto, not Unova.

PS: I did not know H0ly lives in the UK.

Should've played FireRed, everyone knows that to pass you need to give the guy Tea!~

It's supposed to be TEA, Atty! Only hot tea can open roads. :P
