Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Luster

[Mad MOAI]

MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR PMD2

Quirkland is a small town. Yes, a SMALL TOWN. However it has the essentials for the Pokemon living around it. And for protection, a guild is conveniently placed just to the northeast of Quirkland. There the various Pokemon teams perform even more versatile tasks to keep the security of the area in check.

But of course, nothing is perfect. One day the human Kokoro is spotted by a Chikorita on "his special observatory hill..." and she's been turned into a Cubone! What is the reason for this? And why is there always an elegant air in a space that seems so close, and yet so far...?

I'm not much of an expert at making sprite comics. This is my second one, but I haven't shown the first one. I gave up on it a LONG time ago. Now, after reading over 100 issues of Pokemon: Explorers of Oddity by Mike the Foxhog, I've decided to make my own.

The bad point of this is probably that the length of each scene really varies. It doesn't matter to me much, but you might think differently.

What makes this comic unique, you ask? Isn't it just like all the others? Well, it's not exactly the same. First, the plot is different, and second, it's in a different style. Before the forums crashed, someone else made a comic in this same style, but I can't remember who. So go on and read if you want.

Also, in this comic, most of the guild workers aren't the same. In fact, the guild looks the same but is different as from what you might know it.

This comic is appropriate for all ages, although some might not be interested.

Notes:
-The main character Kokoro is supposed to represent me, but I don't really have anything else to say about that.
-This is not a FUNNY sprite comic, although there may be some entertaining moments.
-Scene #7-8: Sorry about the words over Croconaw's face; I've requested face changes from Mewtwo and those are reminders of what face to use. Please don't complain about this; I know already that it is very annoying.
-Scenes already made will not be edited; any critique you give will be put into future scenes.

CREDITS
The Spriters Resource and all of its assistants for providing the sprites that make this possible
Mike the Foxhog's PMD: Explorers of Oddity for inspiring this.
Shining Eevee's sprite comic style as a base for this one.
Mewtwo for the face-change attempts of the character Croconaw. I loved the angry one!​

 

[Exo-Raikou]

Interesting comic. Mystery Dungeon comics seem to be all the rage lately.

I particularly liked Issue 11. It seemed to bring around a little foreshadowing for the overall plot.

 

[Flora]

I don't think it's that bad at all! I find it to be very well done.

The forgetful Stantler was actually very amusing. ^^

 

[Mewtwo]

Okay, I am sorry, I'll finish the Gible, and start on your Croconaws.

And also, that was me, using my failcomics that are gone now.

 

[Mad MOAI]

You mean YOU were the one who used that style originally? Wow, I never would have guessed O.o

 

[Darksong]

Scene 18 made me laugh so hard I'm now dizzy. :D If I were Lopunny, I think I would have jumped off... xD It IS a rabbit, after all. The "plot important" part suspends me. Great work! Keep going!

 

[Not Meowth]

Not bad at all =D Quite different to see a PMD comic that doesn't centre around comedy.
The layout's also very nice; you get more room to type speech, and the battle scenes are far less cluttered. If only I'd thought of it first. xD

 

[Breloom]

True, true. A PMD comic that isn't supposed to be a lollfest is pretty rare around here, it seems. (And, Mike, I actually did try to use that format with an older comic... I found it too difficult to follow and structure and gave up. xD) As for the actual comic, yes! I do like it a lot. C:

 

[Mad MOAI]

Eh, I just noticed I forgot to add the 23rd issue x3

It's up there now. I'm working on 24 and probably 25 after that.

EDIT: I FORGOT TO PUT KOKORO IN 23 LAST PANEL xD

EDIT2: Does anyone want me to reveal Spinethrash's real name if he's a television character?

 

[Darksong]

No, no, no! Don't spoil it for the others! ;)

You're right, the scenes ARE getting pretty epic. I'm aching to read it! :D

 

[Mad MOAI]

I know, I meant later. I think I will, it'll be more epic that way :D

Urk, sorry 'bout scene 25, guys... got carried away with the epic-in-my-opinionness ><

 

[Darksong]

Hehe, great! I'm really starting to get the feel of this, with scenes 35 through 37 and things. Now you just need to add more Lopunny and Destiny Hill
Keep up the great work. You're really improving.

 

[S. E.]

I know I'm a bit late in saying this, but I believe the format you're using is mine. (Example) I'm not saying it isn't okay, I just thought I'd let you know.

Geez, that was a long time ago... I started that comic before the forum crash. ;_;

 

[Mad MOAI]

*ding* Yeah, that was you! I remember reading that comic.

 

[Lars The Turtwig]

Great story! but you could make some more issues.. Anyway, it seems MD is really in right now. Best I read till now!

 

[Mad MOAI]

Yeah I know, I'm sorta getting slow and I can only do this at my mom's house, so x) Next time I get bored, I'll be sure to make the next issue.

 

[Mad MOAI]

Okay, guys. I know I haven't updated for more than a month but now it's time to get this thing going again. I finally got an idea of Spinethrash's reaction so now I can continue this.

Happy reading!
