Oh, and You have a dead link. Not reliable, not reliable at all...
BTW, it'll be hell for 56kers if you save it as Bitmap (.BMP). PNG works wonders. =D

I'll review your comic like I would anyone elses.pisces said:
Three things that I see when I look at this comic.
1. -Monotone, hideous colours
2. -Bad choice of font
3. -Terrible image quality
1. Don't sue one colour for the background, it generally makes things harder for the eyes to process, and creates a very bland comic. If you want to use standar colour, such as those in paint, at least make it two tone, so that we may distinguishe a horizon. Two-Tone is still very bland, however it does improve how the comic looks.
2. The font you've used is terrible. If you don't have any custom fonts, then use something easy to read such as Verdana, or Arial. Never use those fancy fonts, especially when the size is, at best, going to be 12.
3. The Kingdra was saying something, wasn't it? Because I could only see a black smudge. The image quality in this was bad. No, actually, Horrendous. Never save files as a Jpeg, unless you're awesome like me and have photoshop, in that case, Jpeg away and be happy that it'll look better than a .PNG. The point is, don't save files in Jpeg format, because what happens? Look at your comic image quality to find out.
I'd comment on the grammar, however due to the font and quality being so obscure, I'm afraid it was hard for me to make out a lot of what was being written. I personally think, that if you want to get into comic making you should try to do the following;
-Get some better software.
Paint is a good program in retrospect, however, there are programs out there miles better, hunt around and see what you can find.
-Practice.
Practice! Practice! Practice! There is nothing that makes a comic maker good tt making comics better than practice! Sculptors need practice, painters need practice, all forms of artwork require practice, comic making is one of them.
-Plan out what you are doing before you do it.
Be honest, did you start this comic because you decided to write up a breif story and then decide to put it into a comic format? Or was this comic made on a whim? Never make comics without some idea of what you are going to do. ;[
Hope I've helped, and if you think I've been over critical towards you, then use the critisism, and make yourself better, so that next time I won't be so critical.

The first part of the song in this ytmnd sums this up quite nicely.
I'm serious. What...the...hell? Time to list problems. *cracks knuckles*
-You should NEVER save in JPG. It makes things bluury, hard to read, hard to comprehend. Use PNG, or if you have a REALLY good paint program (One you pay MONEY for), You can use GIF.
-The eggs don't look like eggs. they look like Recolored Fortresses.
-Single toned backgrounds. SINGLE TONED. At the very least, you could make them Two toned.
-Inverted colors. INVERTED COLORS. GAH! You NEVER Use Inverted colors. That shows that you are NOT ready to make comics. Sheer LAZINESS. I'm sorry, but it's True. I wish It wasn't, but it is. --;
-Another thing that bugged me: Text boxes. First one was merely a circle that had Ten lines spewing out at different directions. Bad. Second one on you didn't fill in white or pale grey. Bad still.
-Finally, You have a "Blank" Panel. A "Blank" Panel is used when you can't figure out anything to put at the end of the comic that revolves somewhat around the plot. This is easily solved by Extending the panels. Boom. Another option is to use a throwaway joke that involves the characters. This is better and adds to the humor of the comic.
Overall, that's what's wrong with the comic graphic wise. Text wise I won't go into, because I can't read it. =/
No numerical grade, because it wouldn't be fair.

thanx everyone for your reviews, i will observe these comments in future.
*can a mod plz close this?*

Well, the backrounds and Graphics are terrible. It looks really bad when the Weedle is on the rock. And DON'T SAVE THE COMICS in .jpgs. Do not make excuses of age/experience you need to have a decent comic. Speech Bubbles are terrible. And the Weedle is just inverted, nothing special.

Really and truly
I want to know what isn't wrong with it. I may not be an expert, but I know when something is being done totally wrong.
The background is too bright, because you need custom colors. And either a white background, or a scene.
The 'sprite' you used for the egg is terrible, and if someone else made it then YOU MUST GIVE CREDIT.
The fact that you merely inverted the Weedle shows that you're just too lazy to recolor it yourself.
Randomly using Sugimori art is a big no-no. Only use game sprites.
Speech bubbles and fonts we can barely read. Use the game font, for crying out loud!
Try the Sprite Resources and use the Spriting Tutorials for help. Again, I'm surprised at your inibility to read the rules. If you want to get back into the FanFic Club, your new fic had better not be as bad as this 'comic'.

Whether he just started or not it doesn't change it from bad to good. He should've at least learned how to make a decent comic before posting one here. Last I checked we had guides on this kind of thing.

Really and truly
It really isn't a good start. So what if he just started? There are some spriters here whose first sprites were really good! Do you know why? Because they put in the time and effort into making the sprite by getting the proper materials, reading the tutorials and checking over their work for errors!greendaylover said:
Nobody said anything about having to be an expert to make comics, but actually trying and not just throwing bits of sprites onto a blank paper! We arent going to praise his work if it was done quickly and badly! It isn't difficult to just cut and paste pictures the way pisces did! So why should I tell his that his work was even good?!
Honestly, you'd think putting in even a tiny bit of effort wasn't so hard...
