I felt guilty bashing that lady and her Chansey in Resort Area in DPPt XD Buut Audino's aren;t as cute, so no! They give so much Exp, aren't as cute or loving as Chansey and appear at high levels in the wild. So cool!

SquirtleGirl March 28th, 2011 12:27 PM

I never have felt bad. With Heal Pulse...Game Freak WANTS us to grind off them. Probably because the game is slightly harder than previous generations, at least I thought anyway.

mew_nani March 28th, 2011 12:34 PM

I sorta feel guilty a little bit.... but that's kinda offset by the fact that I train an Audino myself. (His name is Benny, and he kicks butt. Period.) Still, it makes me feel guilty looking at that picture you have... :(

R.K 9 March 28th, 2011 12:35 PM

wow... I never really saw it that way at all. now I'll probably feel a little bit hard on myself if I killed an audino ever again. ><
however, it was a very good exp source for training up for a gym or something.

Kirbychu March 28th, 2011 12:36 PM

I feel guilty for not putting those horrid things out of their misery.

I used to play a game where you had a demon, and the demon would like you more or less based on what you did. One of the worst things you could do was use that demon to fight other ones of the same species; it would get so sad. ):

this is weird topic..

Come on.. If you feel bad about audino "fainting" or whatever why do you people not feel bad about pokemon battles? trainer encounters? and of course wild encounters its all the same no pokemon should make you feel guilty again its a Game! :) So also if you really want to get technical its just a screen full of pixels and one group of pixels makes up audino..

So lol i love the picture on the first post!

*SideNote*

If you ever feel that "fainting" Fire-Type pokemon make you kinda guilty then you would be right! lol *only joking*

Ok sorry just wanted to voice that side of things its understandable i guess but its just a game. Plus it's not really something you should dwell on.. Idk

lol From Torch :D

Kazma March 28th, 2011 1:06 PM

...I didn't feel bad until I read that comic. Thanks a lot. ;A; Maybe I should start training my Audino again. That'll make it up to him for naming him Bridget.

Ice Car March 28th, 2011 1:07 PM

EXP Sponge. And whenever I search for special pokes, it graces my screen 80% of the time, so I enjoy beating the **** out of it really. 95% spawn rate over Sawk/Throh in Pinwheel Forest, depending on your version. I searched for HOURS and found MANY Audinos. I killed every one of them because I HATE THEM.

It's different from the others because there are very few offensive moves it learns, so the only real attacks it uses are Doubleslap and Double-Edge, and I don't think I've ever fought an Audino with both of those. It also heals your own Pokemon while you beat the crap out of it for experience. So it's more helpful to your Pokemon than any of the Pokemon that give less experience, but it's targeted because of its high exp.

You should feel bad for using a water type on a Charmander. "It is said that a Charmander dies if its flame ever goes out." ):

Meduza March 28th, 2011 1:09 PM

I'm afraid I don't feel guily for making a bunch of pixels disappear off the screen.

tente2 March 28th, 2011 1:14 PM

Haven't encountered one yet, but I know that I would (I'm also planning one for my team;). I hate it when people say things like "it's a game it's pixels blah blah". Those people have no heart. Call me shallow. I don't care.

Also, the comic is very heartbreaking. I'll never KO Audino!

<opinion>HOW DARE YOU! Clefable and Wigglytuff were awesome pokemon! And it's not creepy, and it's definitely more original than Almonola, the Luvdisc wannabe.</opinion>

...I still feel a bit guilty about fighting an Audino. :( I don't use Benny against other Audino, though. He doesn't do so well against his own kind. I usually send in something else to fight them. :\

Ice Car March 28th, 2011 1:23 PM

It's just a bunch of pixels, why should we feel bad? :3

[Your Name Here] March 28th, 2011 3:04 PM

I don't feel bad, but I do feel a bit bad after seeing that comic. :p
Audinos never show up on Routes 11-17, so yeah... not guilty.

Pkmn Trainer Touko March 28th, 2011 3:47 PM

No! Training is so tedious that I cannot stand the site of Audino anymore! So I enjoy destroying it everytime.

Razer302 March 28th, 2011 4:00 PM

Only Time I ever felt bad about it was by killing it by accident when EV training and getting 2 in HP EV that I didn't want. Other than that its great for healing you, then killing it.

Weavile05 March 28th, 2011 4:11 PM

Not at all.
In fact I HAVE FURY!!!! at them. I didn't know about the trick to making them appear early on in the game and so my friend got WAAAAAAAY ahead of me, so now I brutally destroy any Audino I see, which I see a lot.

Hoohking March 28th, 2011 4:19 PM

Oh god, that comic really is a heart breaker :_(

I'll make sure to knock em out with one quick, painless strike next time I go leveling ;P

Pwnyta Jockey March 28th, 2011 4:25 PM

Where's the Durant comic?

No, I don't feel guilty. Giant Chasm is where I go for Audino. Lv47-50. Yeah.
Was stunned when I saw a wild Tangrowth.

pokehearts March 28th, 2011 5:50 PM

That comic made me sad, I'm almost in tears. :(

Niprop March 28th, 2011 6:10 PM

After all the things THEY did for me:

Porygon
Lvl. 1
Lucky Egg

Conversion
Shadow Ball
Toxic
Sharpen


Wild Audino appeared! *Insert innocent cry here*
Go! Porygon! "Iiiiiaaaauaaa-aaa!"
Porygon traced Audino's Healer!
Porygon used Conversion! Porygon became the POSION type!
Audino used Double-Edge! The attack missed!
Porygon used Conversion! Porygon became the NORMAL type!
Audino used Entertainment! But it failed!
Porygon used Conversion! Porygon became the POSION type!
Audino used Double-Edge!
A critical hit!"Iiiiiaaaauaaa-aaa..." Porygon fainted!
Porygon used Curse!

*6 failed attempts later*

Porygon used Conversion! Porygon became the GHOST type!
Audino used Take Down! It doesn't effect Porygon.
Porygon used Toxic!

*6 turns of Sharpening later*

Audino used Take Down! It doesn't effect Porygon,
Audino fainted! *THUD*
Porygon gained over 9000! EXP.

Porygon leveled up to 30!

Thinking back, I would have rather ground those levels manually then go through the pain it took to get that trick to work. So perhaps I do in fact feel bad for fighting Audino, bad that I had to go through so much effort in order to level off one!

Zenfyre March 28th, 2011 6:12 PM

I've only KOed a few Audino when playing my friend's file to level her Pokemon up. I do feel bad; such sweet little things yet they just have to be Public Enemy #1 for EXP fodder. Yet I still jump at the chance to get EXP from one... N would be disgusted with us.

Also, even if they are "just pixels", there's nothing wrong with feeling sorry for them (or sentimental value for your own Pokemon for that matter). They try to make games emotional, even if the characters you grow to love aren't real.

On a side note, I just bet someone is going to write a creepypasta of all the Audino they ever "killed" coming back from the dead to haunt them.

Daikenki March 28th, 2011 6:41 PM

I don't feel bad actually. The only pokemon I feel bad about taking out in the wild is actually lillipup because I own a 10 month old yorkie, and so everytime I KO one it chips away at my heartstrings, lmao.

But I hardly have the patience to just sit there and wait for an audino to show up anyway, and whenever I fought them it was early in the game and they did nothing to help my team or attack my team besides being there for exp fodder and taking 5 minutes to defeat because of the hp.

.Aero March 28th, 2011 6:42 PM

I originally didn't feel guilty. Then this comic made me realize that it really does just help you (unless it doubleslaps you). :< Now I feel guilty. Just before the E4 too and my plan to train was Audino grinding. ;o;
