If you want to make the Issue name a link, put this in the spoiler
[*url=LINK TO THE ISSUE]ISSUE NAME[/url] Take out the asterisk, put in the needed things and it should look like this: [*url=pokecommunity.com]PokeCommunity[/url] Would be... PokeCommunity |
Well, I'll be the first! Fan me!
I look forward to this, looks good as of now. |
Looks really cool. Can't wait to see where this goes. Fan me!
|
Hey look! It's a new issue!
Spoiler:
|
Lookin' good so far! Keep it up!
|
fan meh, seems good they are fairly short but that is okay
|
I am genuinely feeling sorry for Goldeen right now.
Fan me! I want more! |
New Issue! Thanks for everyone who did a nice comment!
Spoiler:
|
These comics are great so far, I can't wait to see what happens in them next! I'm loving Goldeen's character. Only one line spoken to date and yet I'm already loving its tone haha. The use of sprites has been great but I'm curious as to why you chose each Pokémon that you did? At any rate, keep up the good work - can't wait to see the rest!
(Fan me ;D) |
Hey rockscolbs nice comic looking forward to more of these comics.
Fan Me! |
Issue 4!
Spoiler:
|
WOOHOO GOLDEEN CAN FINALLY MOVE
This is an epic series. Can't wait for more. Hopefully we'll get to see her again in a later issue. :D |
NOO, GOLDEEN, I'LL MISS YOU :( She was just getting into her personality, she could've been such a help to the group. I really hope she comes back in a future issue </3
|
Life is hard when you're a Goldeen. Keep them up! :D
|
I made another quick Issue! New Template!
Tell me if you like the new template style. Spoiler:
|
OH GOD, IT'S DARKRAI, WE'RE DOOMED :(
I much prefer the old style of comic, it was so much cleaner and flowed much better. This new style leaves too much padding and cuts off some of the text in the captions. Also Pinsir has an 'i', not an 'e' :D I'm loving them so far though, and I'm definitely curious as to who Darkrai is and what the evil team want. Did you plan this story out before or do you make it up as you go out of interest? |
Quote:
And I just make the story as I go and I try to make the endings of each issue suspenseful to make you want to know what happens next. |
OMG DARKRAI WILL KILL ALL THE THINGS
I agree with Ozzy too, the old style was much more easy to read with and was more smooth. You might want to edit the current one into being thinner and another color (blue, maybe?). You seem to enjoy making these, and I enjoy reading them, so good luck with more! :D |
Oh my god, this comic is so great!
I can't wait for the next issue! :3 Also, fan moi. ~ |
Announcement! Unfortunately my laptop will be getting fixed for the next 10 to 12 days :(
So there won't be any issues for a while |
That's fine. Update asap. Fan me!
I also like your plan with this comic on how you naturally make the next issue and the next on the spot instead of creating the story in one sitting. I don't know if it's good or bad, but It's definitely unique. Maybe you can create posts where we can interact with the comic like making us vote or suggest ideas on what a character would do, say, etc. |
Fan me.
Just awesome. Please don't stop, I'm so hyped. (sad to hear your laptop goes kaboom, we're still waiting remember) |

UPDATE: I can announce that my laptop will be back by Tuesday! And I'll definitely try to get an issue in. (After I play some amnesia a machine for pigs.) |
I'm glad to hear you got it working again; I've missed these comics! Can't wait to see what happens next, I've been checking back here quite a lot for them haha. Don't let us down ;)
|
Woot! Ready to see more of this. This can really improve into a really big thing if you persist.
|
Sorry it's been so long! Well not that long..
I had to deal with the laptop getting fixed and school, it's just a lot. But finally, I have Issue 6! Spoiler:
I'm still working on the template. If anyone could make me a way better template that would be awesome. |
FIRST DARKRAI THEN THIS?!
Sweet, you're back to posting! Inreally missed this comic. Epic issue as always :D BTW, where did you get that monster sprite? |
Oh god what the heck is that monster I'm scared :( I love that you're not just limiting this to Pokémon but I can't imagine how they'll fight that huge thing off; can't wait to see the next issue! As for the format, my favourite is the original format you were using. I would definitely suggest going back to that haha. Also your use of sprites is really really good - I'm impressed XD
|

|
lolwut? I'm torn on the not Pokemon thing. BTW, what game is that from?
|
Hooray! Another Issue!
Spoiler:
@joeyhugg it's from Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure |
OMG WHAT NOOOO JYNX :(((( I don't even know what to say omg. That poor thing :( I can't even imagine what'll happen next but I really hope she's somehow okay.
|
What the hell is going on all of a sudden there's a massive monster and jynx dies *weeps*
|
Ah, crap! Jynx! Noooooooo!
|
Yay the CSS worked, now it looks super snazzy
|
omg JYNX! WHYYY? this is so good!
btw fan me (10 fans achievement unlocked) |
Got Issue 8 done! :D
Spoiler:
|
This is getting serious for Riolu and Absol... Jynx's death was so sudden, I feel so sad D:
BTW, you chose a really epic name for the baddie team. |
Poor Jynx, helped Goldeen but killed. :(
I'm looking forward for the next issues. :D I bet Jynx will transform into Mega Jynx and kill that monster. |
Eeeeeeeeeek, poor Riolu and Absol :( The evil team has an awesome name but I'm kinda curious how you choose which Pokémon to use haha - Bastiodon isn't my first thought for 'evil' XD Can't wait to see how the heroes deal with the monster and especially what this fossil digging thing is about - I hope Jynx gets avenged though :(
Great work with these so far, and I'm glad you went back to the old format - they're looking much sexier :D |
Issue 9! :D
Spoiler:
|
JYNX COULD STILL BE ALIVE?? Hooray! :D I wonder if that's the fossil that Darkrai is after... I can't wait to see what happens next, I've been checking back here a lot for it paha. If Jynx comes back I will love you forever ♥
|
Here's a New Issue! :D
Spoiler:
|
Ahahaa. These issues are great. :P
Also to help, you could always have the onomatopoeia or the sound effects on the actual slide, like 'DIG DIG' 'BAM' 'WOOSH' and all of that. You can get some neat fonts over at dafont. |
Ooh, a mysterious explorer team. Are they good or bad? Only the next issue will tell.
|
All Dark or Ghost types hmm, I'm assuming they're probably an evil team if they want to talk to Darkrai... I do wonder why they didn't just steal the fossil though, they'd be stronger than a baby and an Absol I think! Can't wait to see what happens next :D
|
They just keep coming..
Spoiler:
|
I'm gonna go on a limb and say that's not good for Riolu...
|
Oh noes! Darkrai found out about Absol and Riolu!
I love Darkrai's nonchalant, boss-like attitude, BTW. Keep it up! |
Long awaited Issue 12!
Spoiler:
|
those pokemon were so derp like hmm no ones here lets get going and start screaming our plan everywhere. hahahaha good issue
|
Oh god that poor Jynx, I feel so bad for her. :( One thing I'm curious about though is why the Pokémon were locked up in the first place. I wonder if Goldeen will ever make a return appearance too? Either way, can't wait to see what happens next!
|
Spoiler:
Issue 13! Might do The R Awards soon. After maybe 1 or 2 more Issues. |
Yeah! First action sequence (Pinsir doesn't count)!
Also, what is this "R Awards" you speak of? |
Uh oh, how are they going to get out of this one? Riolu and Absol have the type advantage here but 3v2 is never easy - I hope they come out from it okay... Can't wait to see what happens with this evil gang and the fossils!
Also I'm curious too, what are 'R Awards'? |
I like the way you always leave a lot of suspense in the end of the comic. That way we'll always be interested to know what happens next. Can't wait for the next issue btw.
|
The First annual R Awards! Vote and I'll be sure the results will be in on Monday. (I'll be finished with X by then :P)
Spoiler:
|
Honestly, there wasn't much character development for us to vote, but...
I think I'll pick Darkrai. |

Here's Issue 14 finally!
Spoiler:
Sorry I haven't been active lately. I am totally addicted to Pokemon X! It's so awesome! I also wanna ask if someone can do a project of doing Pokemon X and Y overworld sprites so I can get Mega evolution in my comic later on. I'm probably gonna post the awards sometime tomorrow. You still have time to PM me and vote! |
F-Fan meh!
I really like this kind of Comic. Keep making, so this where Rizon get the idea. |

Guy guys and gals, sorry the R Awards is late. I've been busy lately. But here it is!
Spoiler:
I also got to do another Issue! Spoiler:
|
Omg, totally unexpected, nice comeback there!
I'm really looking forward to the next issue. |
YAY Jynx is baack!
Woo, that's nice. No sweat, I'm sure Jynx was the most loved character so far XD |
YAAAAAY JINX IS ALIVE ♥ Highlight of my day seeing this! I'm slightly curious as to how she beat that beast so easily but I sure am happy to see it. I can't wait to hear what she has to say about it all, I bet it'll be a great tale. I'm disappointed in Absol and Riolu though for not being emotional about her return!
|
Here's Issue 16!
Spoiler:
I actually made this pretty late in my timezone. So I'm tired and probably gonna fall asleep soon after I post this. Hopefully soon I'll be able to fit in a Comic Issue contest. It's practically you guys making the next Issue and I decide which one I like is the best. But that'll be later. |
Can I just say that I love your comic! I'm so glad Jynx is alive and well! Ooh, I wonder whats going to happen at the snowy top of Mt. Silver. :'D
|
Issue 17! :D
Spoiler:
|
Wow! Jynx starts her big story... I wonder what happened to the peak of Mt. Silver until then...
|
Can;t wait to discover the sparkley!
|
Once again, haven't been realy active latley.
But I did get Issue 18 done! Spoiler:
Btw, it's harder than I thought it would be trying to fit in a Contest Issue in. I'll probably do Issue 20 as the contest Issue. (Which is pretty much people making that Issue and I choose the one I like and makes more sense in the story.) That's all for now! |
Totally forgot to comment on the last comic. So that was Jynx's story! My god, I just hope her family is OK...
|
Wow it has been too long. I know, I know I took a long break. But finally here's Issue 19.
Spoiler:
|
Oh no! That's probably not good...
|
Here we go! Issue 20!
Spoiler:

I'd just like to THANK GAWD that there is at least one consistent sprite comic up on Pokecommunity these days. I've been disappointed these last couple years coming here and finding that no one was even bothering to make them as often, especially considering when I came here back in 2005 there was flood of 'em. It was genuinely refreshing to see.
On the matter of sprites and set-up, obviously the pokemon are from Mystery Dungeon- but I'm especially curious as to where you're finding all your environments. They're all quite lovely and well-placed. And back when I did comics I was a big fan of having the text under the panel too, but you may want to try your hand at speech bubbles. I found myself sometimes forgetting to look at the image above after reading the dialogue. Also, just as a thought: Don't forget that you don't have to stick with just one size of image panel. You can create much more economically spaced and dynamic imagery by having, say, boxes that are half the size of the one you have now, splitting boxes to contain two images, etc. Look at real comic books or the comic PokeChow for reference to what I'm referring to. As far as story goes, it's fairly fanfiction-y and rudimentary. I'd love to see you experiment with more interesting plot points or characters, since I feel like most of your characters are interchangeable. Give them more substance and reason- they're doing everything because something is driving them. Whether it be something from their past, an ideal, etc. Why are Rilou and Absol, two commoner pokemon, going out of their way to stop the ruler of the Dark World, who is obviously much more powerful than them and not above attacking their innocent families back home? What rationale would they have for them to be willing to purposely mess with Darkrai by hording key items necessary for the completion of his plan, travel to a city entirely under water (where they can't bloody breathe), and risk their hides against horrible world-destroying behemoths? Strong convictions and traits create strong characters that we can recognize and sympathize with. For instance, say that Absol was suddenly struck by a meteorite. I would say "oh, well, that sucks" and move on. It would have no effect on me, personally. Find a way for the character to be interesting- so that if a meteorite did come by, I'd be in shambles. I'd also like to know about how you're handling the plot of these comics. I know when I did these, I would sit down and just start making them without any prior direction on where the plot was going. I was making it up as I went along. Are you doing the same? Because thinking about plot beforehand is usually better, since you have more direction. One final note of criticism: Grammar! You may want to put your dialogue into Microsoft Word and spell check before you put it in your comic. Also be aware of using the right kind of "there," (There = place, their = possession, they're = "they are") and things of that nature. Overall though? This comic has the right spirit. I found myself genuinely laughing at Darkrai's "WHAAAAAATTTTT?!"s, most prominently in the first panel of Comic 16. Spot-on timing there. Hopefully you'll consider what I've said and keep making these comics. I'd love to see more from you, and I hope you inspire others to start filling this place with more sprite comics. |

In my opinion, I don't really like speech bubbles. When I try to make them they take too much room and you can see what's going on in the background. I like to make my boxes the same size cause it's easier to get backgrounds in. I put the box over the background and copy the box sized background onto each box of the template. But maybe in some issues I would have a bigger panel at the end or beginning. The things you said about my plot made me think more about it. About why Riolu and Absol are fighting. Well Absol is fighting for Jynx, but as for Riolu. Riolu is just fighting along side Absol for Jynx and for being lock up. For now. I do need to work on why. And you're right. I need to make the characters somehow connect to the reader. And yes, I am making it up as I go a little. I usually plan ahead like 2-3 issues later rather than all the way to the end. After I make an issue I read over it to make sure it's okay. But I do sometimes miss some mistakes. Just remember, It'll all (hopefully) make sense at the end of the season. That's right, I'm planning on making seasons. |
Issue 21!
Spoiler:
I love how they changed the pixel art forum into one! Now it's easier for more people see my comic! |
Hey everyone! Here's Issue 22!
Spoiler:
It seems that Christmas is almost here! ;) Also, where are all the comments going??~_~ |
I really like the style of the comic, and the characters as well; It's been a while since I've seen a good, active sprite comic. Keep it up, I can't wait to see more! ^-^
|
The last panel where darkrai shows up is awesome!
Fan me |
Here we go! 2 Issues this time! Make sure you put in action music in these 2 issues!
Spoiler:
Spoiler:

Ahahahah omg the diving helmets on the sprites were adorable. Glad I remembered to come back and re-visit this series, it's gotten even better than before! AND GOLDEEN IS BACK OMG YAAAY. I missed Goldeen, was curious if you'd give her a reappearance at any point and I'm glad you decided to! It's been an epic couple of episodes and I'm interested how you'll top them. Would be great to see a bit more explanation of why the heroes started the initial journey though; the plot is great but it's hard to understand where it all started from. This is my favourite sprite comic that I've read so far so great work dude. :)
As a side note, I really like your choice of characters for the background roles. Croconaw was a great 'sailor' Pokémon to use (if that was the intention of his background role?) and Poliwrath was a good choice for the voice/role that you gave him. Would love to see Poliwrath perhaps join the hero party until they manage to repay his debt for the submarine? It's one of my favourite Pokémon and I'm sure they'd be able to have an interesting relationship dynamic going on haha. |
Fan Me!!! I simply love the comic! It's so well drawn! The plot is a good mixture of comedy, adventure and seriousness........... Totally Awesome!!
|
Fan me toooo :) i love this plot line! Its so interesting and the way you use backgrounds from different games is awesome. Its fun figuring what they are from.
Its great when i click the wrong link sometimes :p |
This is amazing, any idea when the next issue will be out? And thank you to blueredemption to referring me here,
|
Actually right now pikadude1228! 1 more fan until another goal is reached!
Spoiler:
|
Poor Goldeen getting the blame! I really hope this isn't the end of Poliwrath, he seems like a great character and I'd love for him to join the main group for a while or something haha. Maybe he could go with them until they manage to repay the debt? I'm excited for the next issue, really looking forward to seeing how they'll get themselves out of this huge mess they're in.
Also really nice touch on the eyes of the sprites you used in the first couple panel's - was that added in by you or did they come like that? Either way I really liked it haha. |
Uh oh... Spriters-Resource is gonna be down for a few days.. But I need a new background for the next issue.. If anyone know any other sprite resource site please tell me. We need new issues!
|
To remedy your problem, you can probably Google what you need through images. SPR said that the files for the picture weren't deleted, just the data, so if you Google "pokemon mystery dungeon backgrounds spriters-resource" or something like that, you can probably get the backgrounds via that method. You can also do this for Pokemon sprites if you need them.
Also, sign me up as a fan. Although I'm usually a stickler for plots, I just love the design and dedication to this comic. Although seemingly underdeveloped, I really like some of the personalities of the characters. Good luck in the future. |
Alright! Here's two more issues!
Spoiler:
Spoiler:
|
Great comic :D
But here's a suggestion, make the characters and the pictures a bit bigger? All the other things are fine. :) |
The comic series is pretty great, considering you're using sprites and stuff. The story is also quite compelling and moving. I'll be looking to see what happens next to see what happens to riolu and absol! sign me up as a fan too.
wonder what darkai is planning next. |
Hey guys sorry there hasn't been any new issues. I've been addicted to my Wii U with Monster Hunter 3 and Nintendo Land and I for got all about this.
But don't worry! I'm working on Issue 28 right now. Although it may not be up tonight cause, ya know, can't stay up late on a school night. Also, it looks like the goals are rising. Already got 15+ fans with only 27 Issues! That's way better than my other comic I gave up on after 40 issues on another site. Don't worry though, I'll not to forget this one cause the plot is way better! Well until next time, See ya! |
Alright Issue 28 is finally here!
Spoiler:
I'm think of maybe adding 4 more panels to Issues now. So that they'll be longer! |
Wow. I am blown away, this is amazing! More please!
