Actually, I'm ashamed to admit, I'm fairly certain I had similar taste when I was 17.

I'd like to think I've changed within the past 2 years and improved my tastes a bit, but I'm still wary of showing off my creativity since every idea I've had so far has looked to be really stupid in retrospect, and I'm not the type of person who plays aganst the odds. (I like to think it's what seperates me from the Majin Sams of the world)

I'm dissapointed in you. I'm 17 myself, and I stopped watching DBZ, Yugioh, Pokemon, etc when I was like 12. Actually I never even watched Yugioh.

I'm 23 and I've got Pokemon Diamond on pre-order, and am chomping at the bit for it....and I'll probably be getting Pokemon Battle Revolutions pretty close to launch as well. Never enjoyed the show much at all, but I adore the games. Age really has nothing to do with it.

As to the comic, I'm just not a big fan of the whole sprite comic thing. And I feel that comedy works better when character driven, even in a parody of some other story. So you might consider trying to let us get to know the characters better before jumping into the major plot arc. You're four pages in, and I don't know the names of any of the characters (except Charmander, who doesn't even have a personality as far as we know). Names wouldn't be as big a deal if the characters were larger and easier to identify with (look at Penny Arcade--Tycho and Gabe were unnamed for ages) The fact that they're tiny sprites makes it even harder to associate with them.

If you're going to stick with the sprite model, you might consider taking a page from 8-bit Theatre in terms of layout and page design. And also how to make the limited visuals still look pretty good.

Note I was mainly talking about the pokemon ANIME (which this seems more similarly styled to) and even then the focus was more on the Yugioh and DBZ aspects of it, I play the pokemon games myself every once in a while.

EDIT: I even said WATCHED pokemon.

Well, the art is good, but, you know...

they are getting better

It's really sad to see people attackin other people because they have a different
sense of taste. You can be 25, have graduated university, and still like pokemon
and Dragonball.

But I'll humor you. Yes, the humor in this comic is blatant, and it's nothing more
than some rips glued together. Sadly, 8-bit theatre is done in a similar, even worse,
graphical style, and people still think it's bloody brilliant. Don't go punching cushions
around.

To majin, even though i'm one of the few people who realise this is nothing more
than a bored man's effort to do something creative, you might want to consider
putting a little more time in what every episode is about. It is below what I think
you can actually do.

And now, stop bitching. being 18 doesn't make you a grown man. Enjoying
ridiculous series or movies doesn't make you a twelve year old. It's so sad to see
what insecurity can do to a person.
