Biodiversity

I've often wondered what the environmental impacts of breeding and releasing dozens of Pokemon into the localized area around the Daycare center would be. Read the next comic on Tapastic!

  1. I was curious about what the Ditto said, so I went to gyazo what it said, put the picture in google image search, then used a japanese translator by copying the katakana that came up as a result. Turns out it said ‘Metamon’! Which is Ditto’s name in the Japanese versions, if I remember correctly.

    1. Sounds like a pretty involved process just to find out that Pokémon always say their own names, haha.

      1. Haha, that’s awesome. :L

    2. Artist-lady is a Pokénerd by admission.

    3. Understandable, be in possesion of a good 24 hour cycle

      I just read it lmao.

      1. I laughed because this is the original, before shinies were invented, so all
        of the work he is doing here is meaningless.

        Poor Charizard…

        1. i think hes playing firered/leafgreen, actually

    4. shouldn’t the forest be burning now.

      1. You got your wish, haven’t you seen the amazon or Australia recently?

    5. cool!

  2. In it’s way, this is the most sexual innuendo heavy comic so far. Awesome.

  3. I always wondered what happened to all of those Pokemon I didn’t want from breeding shinies…

    1. currently masuda breeding drillbur.
      battle resort must be full of them by now

      1. meowth, that’s right!

  4. Masuda method, don’t fail me now

    1. Lord of the Sword

      MAAAASUUUDAAAAAA.

  5. I’m showing this strip to anyone talking about pokémon breeding XD

  6. I think the enviromental effect in this particular case would be massive wildfires.

    1. lol true XD

  7. Am I the only one creeped the fuck out by what could possibly happen between any pokemon being mated with a Ditto?

    And Charizard is sweating while Ditto isn’t…what in the sweet blue hells is Ditto doing to Charizard?! And vice-versa!

    1. The Charizard must be female.

      1. And that makes it any better?

      2. That’s even worse.

      3. I don’t think so, if the charizard was female you wouldn’t need a ditto. So it’s definitely male, and probably feeling a bit “drained” right now.

    2. GamerCat is using the Masuda method. Two Pokemon of different regions need to breed. The offspring produced will have a higher chance of hatching as a Shiny. Ditto is from a foreign player hence why it’s “talking in” Kanji. Regardless if Charizard is male or female the outcome will still be a shiny Charmander if the odds go in GamerCat’s favor, since Ditto can’t be breed. Egg will always be from the other parent.

      1. srsly gamercat? you can “sell” them! u have any idea how much a charmander (or any starter) is worth on the GTS?

  8. you don’t get enough credit for the detail ;-;

  9. To funny only wish I could get a charmander again. A wild one at
    that

  10. This….is why I take Japanese

  11. So when you make many babies with the same person, one could eventualy come out a different color? I guess my girlfriend didn’t cheat on me.

    1. Yup. It’s called a “sport”.
      http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/sport

      However, the fact that that baby looks suspiciously like your former best friend is not part of this phenomenon.

    1. That’s just Chococat, they’re both black cats so they’re bound to look a little alike.

      1. it looks like the hello kitty cartoon style

  12. I’m going to show this to my husband so he understands how he has affected the Pichu population in a bad way :p

  13. The charmander… it’s so adorable… *dies*
    (This comic is so freaking epic I swear. Love it! And geez GaMERCaT give em’ a rest!)

  14. why Ditto is talking Japanese?

    1. Masuda Method. Breed a Pokémon from the game cartridge, and one from a foreign country, and it increases the chance of the egg hatching into a shiny a small bit.

      1. If you consider a fourfold increase to be “a small bit”
        As of X and Y, the odds are a one in four thousand chance normally and a one in one thousand chance with the Masuda method. (Yes, they’ve doubled the odds from the previous games – it was one in 8,192 in all the previous generations.)

        1. Yeah, I know. But if you see my comment below about all the Gastly I have, it seems like it might as well be just a “small bit”.

          Considering I was bored one day and nowhere else actually says what exactly the Masuda Method makes it in X & Y, I managed to kinda theorize that it makes it about 1/204

  15. This is literally me with Gastly right now. I have like 10 boxes worth…

    And the other day I found a wild shiny Seviper…Mixed emotions about that.

  16. I always figure that is where pok’eburgers came from? I mean how many season have we watched and never once seen on cow farm… I know better..

  17. Wow.. Ofigeth, klassno narisovano. Tolhko vykladyvali by poqacÅ¡e… Oboƶaü Gamercat

  18. Hey, Celesse/ or Samantha . Could you please make a Cat Mario Comic? :3 (If you don’t know what it’s that, It’s only 4 Levels of the Classic Mario, But with ton of tricky-traps, You can search It :P) Please? erm, again? :P

    1. By that, you mean shobon/syobon action? Love the game, though there are currently 8 lvls by the original maker, and another 4 lvls by a fan game…..

  19. The little Charmanders aro TOOOOOO cute! =^_^=

  20. Just curious… what’s Ditto saying?

    1. Its own name :P

    2. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤

      scroll to the top, someone said

  21. This is what I imagine Friend Safari to truly be like in Pokémon X & Y.

    1. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤

      someone said, scroll to the top

      1. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤

        oops, ignore that

  22. I feel kinda bad for Charizard. :P

  23. number one awkward moment “breeding for a shiny and destroying the earth”

  24. May I translate this one and post it on the facebook page of my association (3DS in Bordeaux) ? We play a lot to Pokémon and this one is hilarious !
    Obviously, I let the adress of your site on the comic.
    Thank you !

    1. Yes, you may!

  25. I effected the Chimchar population in a bad way…

  26. 2 seconds later…. the forest has been burned.

  27. This is awesome, and true as well, i have bred almost like 600 tyrunts looking for a shiny one and literally brought a species back from extintion

    1. Same for me with aerodactyls

  28. Ournounismouseistea

    I once freed my Nidoking only to meet Nidoking lvl 0 in a nearby grass. Thank you for the comic strip. Wherever you are, Nidoking, I hope you are doing well.

  29. erm very sexual…the charmander is like panting how much sex XD very disturbing

  30. As a Pokemon, I disapprove.
    At least I as a Dragonite have a weird Shiny

  31. I have the same thought all the time! I must be the Aether Foundation’s public enemy number one for what I have done to the ecology of that island.

    “All those Litten and Rowlet are going to starve… I should breed some Pikachu or something…” I have actually had this thought…

    1. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤

      is your name Whisper like the ghost “Yo-Kai butler” from Yo-Kai Watch?!? Cuz l am a SUPERFAN of that game!

  32. Instead of releasing all the Zorua I got while breeding a shiny, I just sent them all in Wonder Trades… WORTH IT as I got a legitimate shiny Charizard (I tested it in WiFi battles, it didn’t cause issues and it had a proper moveset and stats).

  33. Wait, do dittos have genitals? How do they reproduce?
    Also, all those charmanders would REALLY disrupt the whole ecosystem.

  34. he beater podus it as in giv birth to a shiny and also or wat? sorry for bad spelling

  35. Thats…. Um… Not to be rude but wow! So MaNy ChArmAnDeRS

  36. ok but if the ditto is male it can make itself into anything, right? that means he could have a weenius maximus…. that charizard ain’t havin it too bad…

  37. Adorable and crule at the same time.

  38. sorta like when you try to fix a broken viola but just ends up holding a detatched string

  39. You should trade them not release them

  40. Pokemon have been very interested in me since childhood, the cartoons here are really great.
