Not bad at all, but not 10/10 (Which is expected, because nobody's perfect).

The first thing that hits me is the Speech Bubbles. The red text next to the red circles looks cluttered and pushed together too much, so get rid of the circles on the edge of the speech bubbles.

On Comic 1, I got a little confused. What Pokemon was that delivering the letter to the red-headed guy, and why did it just magically appear there?

The text used on speech bubbles is oddly blurry and a little big IMO, what kind of text do you use (Times Roman, Ariel etc?). Also, why is the text all red?

Spriting. Don't mix styles (RS and FRLG), I think you may have done it with your main character, but I'm not sure. Also, why don't any of your characters walk (It's recommended that they walk, instead of just stand in every scene)?

Pokemon. The overworld sprites are a little ugly IMO, and just look weird (Sorry, can't elaborate too much).

Mapping. Seems alright, but the shaded buildings look weird (Why not add like lines like the Goldenrod ones, instead of just the shading.

Plot. Like it, it seems fairly original, but it is kinda rushed (As in, in one comic, he leaves, arrives the next one, and is doing something completely different by No 3) - maybe it's just me, who likes to explain things out a little.

With all it's little things that bug me, this comic is alright in the end. Keep at it, though, because you don't have to listen to me. :)

The main character is an edit of a Paul/Shinji sprite I made.

The Pokemon was a Zubat and it flew down, the next frame was supposed to show it in the air flying away, but the text bubble blocked it.
I'm using Pokemon RS text.
The Venasaur was made from Kyledove, and I editted the Houndoom.
The walking I couldn't really do much on, they appeared in each room in #3 cause I didn't have much time to finish.
Thanks for the crit though, don't feel like I shouldn't listen. Cause it will help. :D

1. OK.

2. I thought it looked like Zubat,

3. Again, I thought the text looked familar.

4. Kyledove? I thought it was the other guy, who's name I do not remember...

5. Just try to do it in the future

6. I said that you shouldn't listen/read because a lot of people don't like people poking holes in every little thing. All good.

Keep at it.

Coronis, Matt?

Yeah, Kyledove continued the Coronis Project. Somewhat.

Well, it definitely seems a bit rushed, and the RS font is a little too big for the bubble, I think. You block a lot of important things with you speech bubble, so you need to work on that. But it's a pretty slick comic.

It be gnarly.

Gaah.

I added 3 new episodes, and 3 more bios. Check it out on the first post.
Read em all. Pretty good work (The character's walked!). My only nitpick is that the bubbles for the "Beep" sound are too big.

All good. Later!

I don't want to offend, but Jake, have you made multiple accounts?

Doesn't anyone think it's wierd that 2 people join today, and post in his comic as the first post ever? If it was one person, I would believe it, but if it's two? Come on. I'm referring to Lickilicky and Bijou. If you are doing this Jake, I won't report you or anything... (If you want more viewers, you can post on SPPF or something...)

On Topic: You're comic is going good, and you are flying through them fast (My guess is that you a lot earlier, then posted?). Storyline is solid, so keep it up.

Later!

Hey Jake, good comic. I just don't understand the last part, might be explaint the next comic. One thing I don't like is the huge bubble, half the time you can't tell whos talking.
You cant make all the people happy all the time... Unless I'm happy

Sorry for the late updates, been busy with school preparations. I added Episode 14-19, and had to remove the characters due to space.
EDIT: And I had to remake Episode 17 and 18 3 times. The original script was for Gold and Silver to save them. The second was for Enkai to learn his true strength and Shellos evolve.

Yay! But how did they get out. You should have elaborated it a bit more. Well, as I said before, I love your mapping, nice job. Good job on the new overworlds, you're own of the few spriters that makes all the sprites for himself.

Shellos used Mud Bomb then Water Pulse to send it flying like a grenade. It hit the door and knocked it down, there was a dust effect but it kind of blended in to the floor.
Thanks, all I can do is OW's and mapping now. :/ I used to scratch battle sprites, but I lost my talent after 4 months. :/
I should get some more episode out soon, but school starts Tuesday. I'll try my best to get 1 Episode out at least every 7 days.

Arrgh. New comics. Sour this time.

Good, but a tad dry in the plot section. Will we be hearing from any of the other rangers sometime soon when Team Aqua/Magma come to maul some more people?
