Umm... Sorry, but critics aren't alwways going to be nice. If they're pointlessly flaming, fine, okay, be angry at them or whatever, but it sounds to me that mo_money's trying to help you improve your comic. If my critisim's a little rude, fine, okay, but they're not always gonna be nice, and you have to consider that. The plot, so far, seems pretty unoriginal. I mean, how many "going to the lab" comics have we got so far? If you're gonna do that, try to make it in a region other than Kanto or Hoenn. But still, you're right, they need Pokemon, but not all Pokemon sprite comics have trainers going to a lab. For example, Pokemon Neo. The main character, Neo, catches his starter with a Great Ball. So please, be a little more original, and don't kill me if you think this offensive.
