(Edit: Changed Lyra's eyes in Panel 8 because it was bothering the hell out of me.)

Two uploads in the time span of a month? Hell yeah! I hope I can keep this up!

I don't have much to say about this page. It's actually one of my favorites. I really liked the scripting part especially.
I did some changes to the art, particularly highlights and background shading. I wanted something simpler that didn't clash with the style. Something more aesthetic. I think it turned out better that way. Suitably cartoony.

Forgive me for my deception, by the way. But I think the more astute among you can figure out where I'm going with this.

Enjoy!

OK, I really love the depiction of Elm, and how dynamic and loving this family is. Dang.
Also!! Silver is an actual registered trainer that ISN'T trying to steal a Pokemon? Wow.

Yeah. Seems Silver wants to be legit this time, since lurking menacingly near the window is a little creepy. xP

Woo! I thought this nuzlocke was gone (I couldn't find it much on the forums) and I'm happy to find out it isn't.
The buildup is amazing, you spent a lot on the introduction and it tells me that you really care about originality and characterisation. While this comic is still in its early stages, I hope to see it through to the end, because I have a feeling it will wind up being great.

Rasarak In reply to SilverStrangequark [2015-11-21 22:52:03 +0000 UTC]

It kinda sucks, actually. I update every time I finish a strip on the forums, and it usually ends up getting lost when it does. Cest la vie, I guess. Lotsa Nuzlockes.

I'm incredibly grateful for your support! (And I remember you. ) And I'm super glad you're still into it!

Don't worry. I don't plan on stopping until I finish. Even if it takes a decade.

That's the spirit! It's very heartening to see dedication in nuzlocke people, with how many runs go to hell because the authors can't be arsed to continue them anymore. You have my cheer whenever you need it

I really appreciated Elm's dialogue here. We so often see the professors as one-dimensional, so getting to see Elm have a moment of emotional vulnerability was a really nice touch.

Rasarak In reply to ChineseViking [2015-11-10 17:48:31 +0000 UTC]

I compketely agree.
One of the most tired things in the Nuzlocke community is the whole "Welcome to the world of Pokemon!" speech is usually handled as comedic exposition, delivered frantically as if to get through it and be done. I really wanted to see it be used to build the world and the characters for once. I'm super glad it's resonating with people! ^^

I love how the only representatives of my country so far in pokèmon are a mafia-like team's leader and his son XD. But Silver's my favorite character ever, so I guess I can accept that...I wonder, how will YOU develop him? I've seen a bit of everything, but it's always nice to see new rivals developing, and from what I've seen so far you will probably surprise me. Keep the good work on, 'cause you got yourself a watcher!

silver is NOT some creep stalking at a window waiting to break into places to steal one of the precious? SOLD!
also (and i probably said this already, heck, everybody probably said this already) your elm is the best depiction of a caring father i've seen in a nuzlocke comic, my own waterworks might be running ;_;

2-Tailed [2015-11-08 08:11:46 +0000 UTC]

So there WAS a third trainer. I thought Elm lied about it to them, so they won't feel sorry for the unpicked Pokemon.
And then Silver would have stolen the last one later.

But I am interested to see where this is going.

It's because of the perspective in each shot. Azure is farther away.

I can't Ursaring to wait, you have been teasing us for so long and in that very first page you made the starters personalities so well, I hope they don't disappoint. Don't worry, I just wanted to make that really bad joke, I will wait a bit long but, I won't make any promises for foxy he has already been released and I can no longer control him (he likes to hide in closets, under beds and abandoned Chuck e CheeseΒ restaurants).

Did you get my 5 nights at freddy's reference?Β
