PokéFire

Welcome to the Official Unofficial Official PokéFire Comic Thread! And some of you must be thinking, what the heck does he mean by Official Unofficial Official Pokéfire Comic Thread? Well it means that this comic is owned and made by me, MetaWolf but it also means that this is a test comic. I made lots and lots of comics before but no one really liked them but now its summer and I'm gonna try making another comic. I already have most of the script for the series done but I want you fellow comic makers and readers to tell me if I should continue making these comics or not!

History

PokéFire was started on June 24th 2006 by MetaWolf (Moi) and is a comic set in Kanto. Clair, the Dragon Gymleader of Johto moved to Kanto with her son Mike. She then kept on travelling back and forth from Kanto to Johto because she wanted to stay a gymleader in Johto but didn't want to live there. Some say she didn't want to live in Johto because there were too many police around... Well after the OPLC found out she was sleeping with another gymleader she got fired.

Now her Son Mike is starting his own Pokémon Journey to get away from his mother and get some cash.

Overall, it seems like you have been heavily inspired by PokéChow, correct? I notice a few parallels and similarities. For instance, you took the color palette of the blood I made. It struck me as odd immediately when I saw it so I compared them and concluded that you had indeed taken it. Don't worry about it, though... since taking someone's color palette doesn't necessarily count as "theft"... The motives for this young trainer's journey are also similar, but different enough that it doesn't really matter much... The reason I seem so suspicious is because it is clear that you have read my comic given the blood.

The grammar and spelling is for the most part decent, though I did notice a few mistakes. Be sure to add a comma when someone is being referred to. You put "Mornin' Hunn", when it should be "Mornin', hunn", as "hunn" is being referred to. You misspelled "invite" as "envite". You said "Prof. Oak" when it isn't entirely professional to shorten names like that in a comic. It would have been better to have said "Professor Oak". I must give you kudos for spelling Pokémon properly, with the accent. Thank GOD.

Graphically... it's meh. You took a few backgrounds, a few premade sprites (by the way, you MUST be on Avatar's permission list to use them *ahem*) and slapped them together... It's not very impressing. The text bubbles are plain, and I recommend that you use points to direct to whom is speaking. Trust me, it's just better that way. The text seems a little ugly... and too bold for my own liking. In the third comic the text is unreadable. What were you thinking?

Plotwise, it's not much unlike the other journey comics here. However, it does seem that you are making a conscious effort to be quirky, funny and original. I credit you for that. I'm sorry if it seems like I'm berating you, but the fact of the matter is that I actually see some potential in this if you work really hard on certain elements.

The blueguymeter™ says...
Graphics 7/10
As I've said... meh... average.
Wording, Grammar and Spelling 7/10
It's decent, but certain things can be improved. Be careful.
Storyline 5/10
So far, it's not grand, but it may improve.
Effort 10/10
I think you gave a really good effort! Keep on trying your best!
Potential 8/10
I see something in this, or at least think I do...

You score a 74/100 on the blueguymeter™!

Thanks for replying, and first I have read you comics and some of this (mainly the beginning) is based on PokéChow but the rest once Mike gets out of Pallet Town will be nothing like PokéChow. And I am on Avatar's permission list, well my other username is x.x I'm DarkStrike from Pokecommunity but I have gotten my username changed but Avatar gave me the password to the files so I can use them. Also the blood palette is mine, it is no where near as good as yours, I just took random shades of red until I found a palette that worked for me. It is not the same as yours, I promise you that. Thanks for the rating, and I'm just a average sprite comic maker.

I can't make custom sprites like you or avatar, I can only recolor and do poor mixes of Pokémon. Again thanks for the rating, and I promise that I will take all your helpful criticism and make a better comic. I hope... And also I know I made a mistake when spelling invite or as I put "envite" but I'll be sure to fix that when I redo some of these comics.

pretty good and it really does remind of pokechow.
But who knows, maybe people will like this comic.

 

[zuloon]

No, blueguy, even the colors of the blood that appear identical are a wee bit different. I checked. (Hue, Saturation... all that fun stuff.)

 

[ZibaLaZiba]

Just make sure that Mike doesn't take the body to McDonalds and donate it. They have enough problems. But I really like this comic. I'll keep looking at it.

 

[~!Mudkip Kitteh!~]

Quite alot like PokéChow, if you ask me. Oh, wait... it is alot like PokéChow. LOLZ. Anywayz, I'll be keeping an eye on this.

Over and out.

[Thunder_Raichu]

HAHAHA! This was so funny and awesome! HAHAHAHAHA!

 

[MetaWolf]

Thank you everyone! Well *cough* I don't think my comics are that funny... I still have to improve them, and hopefully I will continue this and not forget about it.

 

[deoxys145]

Wait...did he just take Blue's body and use it as a Disguise to look like her? God thats sick...but funny! Gawd...wonder where Officer Jenny is...a murder was just commited. It is a lot like PokéChow. Especially the "Ooooh! I want the black Pokébal!" thing. Its not an insult, just pointing out there likeness. Its off to a good start nonetheless. I'll be watching^^

 

[Sora]

A lot? This is a complete RIP OFF of Pokechow.

 

[SoulGuardian]

I don't like this comic. Do you know why? Because it's a bad remake of PokeChow. Think of your own ideas. (Im getting tired of members copying other people's sprite comics!)

 

[MetaWolf]

o-o Outlaw/Sora I know that this looks like PokéChow in someways but its not the exact same thing! Oh yes theres a shiny black Pokéball in the lab, the story is in Kanto and the main character's mother is a bad parent but did the main character kill a poor girl just to get a Pokémon? No! I have a plot in mind and an evil plan so this will not be the same!

SG this is not a remake of PokéChow, this will never be a remake of any comic!!!!! And also, it my please you to learn that this comic will soon be done with this 'PokéChow Remake' part, for once Mike gets out of Pallet Town the story will go in a different direction.

Also I'm working on a little 'side' project, another comic. But don't worry 'loyal' fans, I'll still update PokéFire.
