Yes, I find this very cruel. Yet I laughed out loud when I saw it. Does this make me a bad person?

Discuss the Picture Now.
=/
why would the Pokemon center do that? XD
If it was real life, it would be cruel, but it is only a comic strip.

so it just is weird. and it does not make you a bad person, like I said before, it's only a comic.

I KNEW something was up with Nurse Joy, always smiling like that...From now on, I'll just stick with buying potions and revives.

Oh, don't take Katie and Norrin seriously. That's a really funny comic.

I like the comic, but the more I think about it, the more I wonder why they'd throw the Pokemon in an incinerator. There are many things more incinerator-friendly than Pokemon in Poke Balls and many better ways to dispose of Pokemon than the incinerator. (Pokemon black market, perhaps?) It just seems like a futile, pointless plot on Nurse Joy's part.
But then, I do tend to overanalyze things, especially Pokemon jokes. And the comic is funny, so that's what matters.

That's twisted and funny all at the same time. I always thought Nurse Joy acted a little *too* cheery and perky.

Though if it were me I'd be selling those Pokemon on the black market instead of incinerating them. Nurse Joy is somehow even more sadistic than me xD

This joke makes no sense at all.

First, why do they incinerate the Pokemon? Do they enjoy killing off Pokemon they could be using for other sources, like selling or trading?

Second, where do they get all these shelves of extra Pokemon that are in the exact same ball that the first one was caught in? They obviously aren't reusing other trainer's Poke Balls since they incinerate them.

Thridly, if we considered this to happen in-game, than how do our Pokemon retain their exact nature, moves, I.Vs, E.Vs collected thus far and most importantly happiness if it's a completely different Pokemon?

And finally, how are the "new Pokemon" given to trainers at full health and such since some of them, like Charizard and Gengar, can't be caught in the wild and they would have to of been dealt some damage, wheather from training or when they were being caught.

How in the world does this make any sense?

Pffttt... that is pretty funny but I wouldn't unstand how that whole process would happen in 5 dings, poor chansey would have to search through over 500 different pokémon to find the exact pokemon, level, pokéball, stats etc...

Heh, it was always kinda weird how nurse joy would say "We hope to see you again" it's like she wants our pokemon to be hurt...

Oh my God get a life it's a f*cking joke they don't have to be logical. It's funny end of.
The OP told us to disscuss it, thats what we're doing. It is a joke and we get it. But it's funny to point out things that wouldn't make it possible. Just laughing about the picture with pointless posts like "Lol" "That made me laugh" wouldn't bring up any conversation or disscusion at all.

This joke makes no sense at all.

First, why do they incinerate the Pokemon? Do they enjoy killing off Pokemon they could be using for other sources, like selling or trading? Because Nurse Joy enjoys (pun intended) roasted Torchic.

Second, where do they get all these shelves of extra Pokemon that are in the exact same ball that the first one was caught in? They obviously aren't reusing other trainer's Poke Balls since they incinerate them. The Chansey could be cloning them of some sort, but since it's not in the comic it's unlikely. She's a hacker? (if it was In-Game)

Thridly, if we considered this to happen in-game, than how do our Pokemon retain their exact nature, moves, I.Vs, E.Vs collected thus far and most importantly happiness if it's a completely different Pokemon? In-Game speaking, is that Nurse Joy has a super secret Pokesav with every single Pokemon,with every single EV, IV, Happiness combonation ever. She restocks every day.

And finally, how are the "new Pokemon" given to trainers at full health and such since some of them, like Charizard and Gengar, can't be caught in the wild and they would have to of been dealt some damage, wheather from training or when they were being caught. In-Game: Pokesav as stated before

PokeIRL: Hyper Potions. She get's the money for the Potions by selling Roasted Torchic, and other Pokemon.

How in the world does this make any sense? If it's Pokemon related, it NEVER makes sense.

Sorry lol.

And if Nurse Joy was healing all the "cloned" Pokemon with Potions and stuff, than why don't they just heal the original Pokemon with them ,than they don't need to be wasting their time incinerating and wasting time "hacking" these other Pokemon.

In-depth analysis of Katie Tiedrich's comics only bring pain and unamusement.

Molesters. What did you expect?

The comic itself was nice, but not funny. However, "We hope to see you again" doesn't fit. "We hope to never see you again" makes a much better, or rather, clearer, truth.

It did kind of make sense to me. I thought of it like this:

They can't really heal all of your fainted Pokemon. The machine does nothing, they just Incenerate your "dead" Pokemon (So to speak) and replace them with new Pokemon.

Then to save them telling you that your Pokemons passed away they say the machine has "healed them". My take on the comic anyway :P

Oh, Nurse Joy, you sadist. I think it's about time you got a boyfriend, hon.
Have you noticed that sadness in your life
has never, ever, not even once, lasted?

It's impossible.
