I was wondering why this comic felt so familiar - all the jokes have been recycled from "Feliks' Adventures". There's May's overly friendly mother shoving the protagonist upstairs; the protagonist getting caught grabbing May's pokeball, and May slacking off to check her social media websites. Even the panel layouts seem borrowed from Lotty's nuzlocke (Grey holding the pokeball, May at her computer).



What caught my interest in the prologue was the potential relationship that could be explored between the grown-up Grey and the older "Mr. Birch". How has time changed these people? How does Grey feel about finally meeting his childhood idol? How will they challenge each other? So I experienced a case of mood whiplash when I moved from the quieter prologue to the exaggerated jokes of chapter one. I feel like I've read two separate comics.



You seem to have big plans for this nuzlocke so I'll wait to read some further entries and see whether everything really does happen for a reason.
