i just discovered this blog, and i really like the art style! it always impresses me when people can stay so true to the classic pokemon style while still putting unique spins on the pokemon. is there a button or tag to go through the comic chronologically? id love to read it!

Thank you for the kind compliments!

Try this link! It should take you to the beginning, and each page should have links for navigation. Do let me know if any links are broken; I tried to fix them all but one or two might have escaped my notice.

Start from the beginning.

(Apologies for the not so great web UI, I would like to either change or otherwise clean it up someday)

Wow that sure is a lot of text, I ain't reading that haha.

The gist of it is that the comic hiatus will continue, and that I hope to start the next chapter in late May.

In the meantime I'm also still making art! And I will be doing more to try to add some "flair" to the places I'm hosting the comic and my art.

...Being a slow artist with a long day job does not for fast updates make... TT~TT

Thank you for your patience!! ~Energy|Other Luxray

Your burning questions cannot be answered by the raging inferno, even if the embers seem peaceful.

(This Blaziken will no longer be answering questions.)

Time for me to answer some questions, and gosh there were a lot! There were a ton I wanted to answer, so I'll pick a few to answer here. I may end up doing this for other characters in a future QnA, but right now there were just some questions I didn't want to leave unanswered despite only dedicating one page to this.

Author: Do you have voice casts for any of the characters? Answer: Fullmetal Alchemist was one of my big influences for this, so I imagine much of the English VA when thinking of the characters in this comic. Travis Willingham for Gallade, Gwendolyn Lau for Ribombee, Trina Nishimura for Dewott, and Brittney Karbowski for Lumen, for instance. It's not solely the FMA dub cast I think of, but it is the majority. Author: What do you use to draw all your amazing drawings? Answer: Thanks for the compliment!! I currently use a Huion Kamvas Pro 12, an older tablet model that I picked up at a bargain, and Clip Studio (I know both companies behind those products have gotten caught with image transformer AI which is disappointing; I was using these before all that). I also like to do traditional sketching and then scan those to use a basis for drawings. Sometimes its just easier to do it the latter way for me. Author: I love the unconventional choice of Tepig as the main protagonist, and of course the way you draw them. How come you chose Tepig over every other PMD starter? Answer: Ahhh again thank you for the compliments! Well, originally this comic started as an ask blog with a questionnaire to determine the protagonist and the partner, with Tepig and Riolu winning out (it was a barely known blog and the art was bad). When I decided to redo the story, I realized how much I liked the pairing; Riolu is a popular choice and could represent the expectations of a PMD story, while the less popular Tepig would be a great shakeup and point of difference. Plus, Tepig can be a very cute pokemon!

Author: This may sound like a strange question, but would you consider this work to be more of a love letter to pmd, a criticism, or both? I can see you’re playing around with some of the established tropes of the series and shaking it up a little, so I wonder what the motivation for that is! Answer: This is definitely a work of adoration for the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games. Really, this is just the kind of story I want to see in the games one day (provided we actually get a new one...) because I honestly think there's a lot of twists, variations, and explorations that could be done with the story formula Spike Chunsoft has established with this spinoff franchise. You won't see this sort of story beat in this comic, but as an example, what if we had a game where it was revealed the pokemon you play as was always a pokemon, and they thought they were human because they had memories of one: their trainer, who instead either became their partner or the main antagonist? There's actually a lot you could do with the formula they established!

They all seem like they have a healthy team dynamic with no issues between them whatsoever.

Gastly did get quite a few questions, I was surprised. Unfortunately they were all kinda the same question, of which it would be a bit spoilery to answer right now. Maybe next time I need to have a list of subjects likely to be unanswered…

Y'know, that didn't really answer that last question you two. Do either of you know what "Questions and Answers" means?

Gripes about paperwork and a little lore about the badges! I hope Maple and Gallivant gave good answers. They got plenty more questions, but I will hold on to those until next time. There's plenty to reveal in the story itself, after all~

If a Dewott sings when no one is looking, are they out of tune? And whose idea was it to make Aggron even more defensive!?

For this page, Burst and Lumen answer some questions together (or, more like Lumen answers and Burst is there too...)

A Tepig on two legs is a rather cursed image if you ask me. Sorry Burst, but you're staying on all fours.

Some questions that were asked of him were answered in the previous QnA, so go see here if you think your question might have been answered already.

Started with Lumen last time we did a QnA, so lets start with Lumen again! He did get quite a few questions, after all.

Some questions that were asked of him were answered in the previous QnA, so go see here if you think your question might have been answered already.

(Next QnA page will probably be on Tuesday the 13th, and I'll try follow the ol' Tue/Fri schedule I had before with this)

It's that time again for some good ol' QnA! This marks the second QnA since the first in... 2022. 

Huh. Well, anyway!

There have been many more characters since the first time I did this, and all of them are open for sending in questions. That will include characters not shown here, so if there's a pokemon you want to send a question to, go ahead!

Ask your questions here using this link to the tumblr ask page!

There are some rules however!

Comment your ask in this format: Name of the character: question

Ex.: Lumen: What is your favorite Riolu? You may direct your ask to more than one character; Ex.: Lumen, Burst: Who is the oldest Riolu?

Please be aware that I will refuse to answer inappropriate questions, and if questions delve into spoiler-y territory then those will also not be answered. Please also be aware that I won't be able to get to all questions.

At the end of 2023, I finished chapter 3 of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: The Human Connection. In that same year, I also finished chapter 2, and between the two completed over 50 pages of comic! Maybe less than all of the first chapter combined, but that's a sign of proper pacing progress, I would say. In 2024, there will be yet more to draw...

At the end of the month I will be doing a QnA with all the characters introduced thus far (and you can ask the author too), so look forward to that! You can begin asking questions here, and in the QnA announcement page I will release on the 19th, which will also provide some more details. There may also be an Extra Materials chapter this year, though I will be focusing on the QnA and Chapter 4 over it.

In the meantime, The comic is on hiatus (sad, I know the waiting hurts). While doing the QnA I will also be working on chapter 4. My Hope is that I can get 2 chapters released this year along with the QnA, and perhaps get an Extra Materials short done as well. There will be many topics to chose from, between guilds, dungeons, teams and team types, and ohh the lore there is to share...

QnA will start next month, so get your questions in while you can! Please be aware that I will refuse to answer inappropriate questions, and if questions delve into spoiler-y territory then those will also not be answered.

In spring, I plan to return with Chapter 4!

(Lumen won't remain forlorn for long...)

Finally, Burst makes the declaration they wanted to make since the start of the chapter! However, it may not be what Lumen wants to hear…

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays! Start from the Beginning

Amazing, the artist still finds time to keep introducing characters in a chapter full of introductions. (Wait that was the last chapter too!) Start from the Beginning
