First Summer - A Rijon Adventures Nuzlocke [Pg.36]

It's Big Fight Time!! I recently had a look at the first two Gym Battles, and they actually hold up pretty well. I hope this one is even better. I will probably never reach the level of those comics that have battles 3 times as long and with character development and backstory masterfully woven in, but I guess some cool and funny things happened here?

I had absolutely no plan going into drawing this battle, I just thought up the bit I was going to draw the next day every night. :'D It ended up as this humungous thing in which everyone gets their time in the spotlight. Very proud of these three. <3


In-game, this Gym Battle was a complete faceroll. The matchups and their order are accurate. When I saw that Electrike was coming up last (this was the last Pokémon game I ever played with Battle Style: Shift), I was like Huh, wouldn't it be cute if Terry got his moment here? 
The Gym's main battle area has a dirt floor because they know everyone's gonna destroy the floor with Ground moves, so it's gotta be something easy to fix up.
I thought that was a pretty good explanation for where Water Pokémon get the water for their moves from, and for how a fish can move effectively enough to be the ace in a freaking Electric type Gym. :V
Look, an audience! You know, the last four Gyms seem like places that wouldn't have room for an audience... I totally won't have to draw more people than that ever, right........?
Nadia is gaining some confidence. The loss against Schiller in the first Gym was really hard on her, but things are looking up now. ;v;
Can you imagine how hard it was to pick names for those Pokémon? I wanted something thematic, but not completely stupid. It was terrible. Absolutely terrible.
Similarly terrible was how the red bricks have the same value as the brush tip cursor. I could not see the cursor while drawing the white lines. Unfortunately, by the time I was ready to remove my eyes with a spoon, there was no way back on that color choice.
3 (three) (T H R E E) Badges Club! That's this many Badges: Did you know that Nuzlockes in 2019 can get to 3 (three) (T H R E E) Badges? Apparently so!
The Spark Badge and all subsequent Badges were designed by the wonderful DMKryl, have a look at them:


I will update the Trainer Card thing soon-ish. It desperately needs some new art. :V


Every comment you leave here and every reblog on tumblr trigger the sending of a reminder to Ira that he has four hands now. Comment/share to help a good rock!


Next time: Wild Pokémon behave terribly in a restaurant, and more inane very-important-for-characterization filler.
