Sonic's Pokemon Adventure 2 Battle: Page 113 is here!

[Scruffy]

Back in the early 00's, Sonic sprite comics were all the rage. I particularly enjoyed Psyguy's That's My Sonic and Get Blue Spheres. In my uni days, I took it upon myself to make one of my own, which was a Sonic-themed parody of the Pokemon anime. I did most of the work on it myself, with my now-girlfriend 'Cartman's Girl' writing some of the dialogue and making the speech bubbles and visual effects look all pretty. I made over 100 issues of it, but due to a hard drive crash, lost all but the first 50. T_T But for your enjoyment, here are those first 50 comics, with a list of the Sonic/writer characters, and which characters from the Pokemon anime they represent (although they don't always have the same Pokemon).

EDIT: Sonic's Pokemon Adventure is now an ongoing weekly comic strip again. Hooray!

Sonic the Hedgehog: Ash Ketchum
Uncle Chuck: Professor Samuel Oak
Tails: Tracy Sketchit

Sonic has a new stalker... and Uncle Chuck thinks he may be hallucinating.

Please, please, PLEASE POST MORE!!!!! I love it! If you can get a Doctor Who reference in there, my three favorite things shall be together!!! But, please, post more!

[Scruffy]

Unfortunately, I made this comic about 9 years ago, before I started watching Doctor Who. So I'm afraid you won't find any timey-wimey references here. But okay, let's get to uploading some more...

The one where we find out what Pikachu can actually do...

*giggles* How could you make such genius? The only funnier thing I have seen is Sonic Paradox's Sonic Shorts and Knuckles Briefs! *ahem* Thanks for the quick upload!

I can't stop laughing...

[Scruffy]

Thanks, Werekitty. It was just good timing is all - I was just about to upload more when I saw you had replied, so it all worked out quite well. ^_^

These first few comics reflect the first episode of Pokemon, where Ash gets his Pikachu and is chased by a flock of Spearow before he meets Misty (as portrayed here by Amy Rose) and mangles her bike.

The professional Sonic stalker shows Pikachu how it's done.

Amy finds a way around that pesky restraining order Sonic's had on her!

Here we get a two-for one deal - we see both the legendary Pokemon that cameos in that first Pokemon episode, and we got the "Who's that Pokemon?" bit they used to have on regularly. Also, I never turn down a chance to make fun of someone's name. :)

That is absolutely, positively, better than most of the Sonic Paradox stuff. Seriously, I've never seen more hilarious sprite comics!

[Scruffy]

Naww, you really think so? I appreciate the praise, but these are pretty old hat to me, of course.

In these issues, we see the introduction of the prime antagonists of the story - Team Robot! I did consider having Eggy hidden in silhoulette the way Giovanni was in the first season of Pokemon... but I chose to have him visual and open to obvious giant-talking-egg gags instead. >:D

Finally! Getting around to explaining some sort of plot! As well as including one of the music clips from the original series, wheee!

I felt that the Team Robot trademark motto needed a little tweaking... also, do you like Metal Sonic's long, luscious Jessie-locks? :P

May I ask which language Eggman just swore in?

... Must. Not. Make. Meowth. Reference.

...Darn.

[Scruffy]

It's German - the literal translation is actually, "health," but in a lot of old cartoons it was often used as a more-humerous replacement for, "Bless you," when someone sneezed.

These next ones are all spoiler-censored for some naughty language. Nothing worse than what you'd see on The Simpsons though. We also see the introduction of Nurse Joy and main rival Gary. See if you can guess who each will be before you open the spoiler!

Spoiler: show

Ahh, more exposition. I'm not quite sure why we decided on a limbo contest... possibly because I found the sprites and thought they were hilarious. Chansey being a big pervert was definitely CG's idea though. XD

Covering up a big hole I made in the first comics when I forgot to give Sonic a Pokedex... heh, whoops. :P

I feel a bit sorry for Knuckles the Mail Echinda. But I love this particular line: "Who could possibly be tough enough to beat me?" "You mean apart from everyone?"

Extremely off topic: I'm watching Sonic goes Star Trekkin at the moment. Funniest song I can remember at the moment.

[Scruffy]

I'll check that link out when I'm not at work - not allowed to watch Youtube here. >_> <_< And that's not Knuckles - that's CG, my special effects and dialogue coordinator. Knuckles will be coming along soon...

In the show, Ash and Gary didn't have their first battle until the end of the second season when Ash got back from the Orange Islands. As you'll see, I didn't want to wait that long.

The first two pages, once again, are spoiler-censored for mild naughty language.

I, like Ian, enjoy the pleasant breeze that comes through the shattered fourth wall. :(hearty laughter):

As you'll come to see in future comics, I mixed things up a little in regards to what Pokemon each character would get. Sonic, Amy and Brock's stand-in all stay pretty true to the cast of Pokemon, with maybe a few differences. Shadow though? Completely different story. It made pretty good sense to me - the coolest character would raise the coolest Pokemon, right? Although even the best trainer can sometimes make a mistake...

It's okay Sonic, we've all been there before. Even Batman!

:(hearty laughter): Why must I have to use the laugh smiley so much? Because it is the only smiley that fits my actions right now! I would be surprised if this could get funnier!

[Scruffy]

Challenge accepted!

And now the plot starts following the show again as we see Sonic's exploits in Viridian Forest, including his first Pokemon captures...
Page 20 spoiler-censored for mild naughty language.

Sonic's first Pokemon capture and Amy's fear of bugs reflect those of the show. Whether she also hates carrots and peppers is up in the air.

Rookie Ash, just like rookie Sonic, just can't seem to make the connection that birds eat bugs.

My girlfriend at the time of making this comic had three great loves (four, if you include me) - Tails, bug Pokemon, and pie. If you've been paying attention, you'll see that I put all of that together in Tails' character. XD

...

This set was too awesome for words.

[Scruffy]

Time for Team Robot to make their first move! Also, you may note that I refer to Metal Sonic as "Mecha." My bad - reading the comics (Mecha Madness in partiuclar) led me to the mistaken belief that its name was Mecha. Again, I'd like to point out that these comics are over 9 years old. XD

Thought someone was missing last time when Team Robot showed up? Fear not, he was only waiting for the right moment to pounce!
