Hit and Run

I developed an intense hatred of Oddish in the first game. They would constantly spring out of the grass, poison my Pokemon, then flee before I could even exact my revenge. Little jerks.

  1. That was my oddish

    1. WHY?!

      1. Here’s why: Oddish is a poison type, duh!
        Don’t worry, I’ll get him for you.

        *Battle Start Music*
        Oddish appeared
        Go! Clefairy!

        Fight!
        Metronome/Psywave/Sing/Light Screen

        Clefairy used Sing!

        Oddish Fell Asleep!

        Fight!
        Metronome/Psywave/Sing/Light Screen

        Clefairy used Psywave! It’s super effective!

        Oddish is fast asleep…

        Fight!
        Metronome/Psywave/Sing/Light Screen

        Clefairy used Metronome!
        Metronome turned into Flamethrower
        It’s super effective!
        Oddish fainted.
        Clefairy gained 56 exp.

        1. so now i know why i have veggiephobiea

        2. *throws broccoli at anonymous*

        3. Don’t worry anonymous! I go eat the broccoli!
          *takes broccoli and shoves it down her own throat*
          mmm…yummy broccoli… :3

        4. 🧀 🥖

          Um, it is lachanophobia. Not veggiephobia.

    2. In the original Pokemon game Blue, my favourite Pokemon is Caterpie, because having it turn into a butterfree and it having bug, flying, poison, normal and psychic attacks was very beneficial in nearly every gym battle I attempted.

      1. sorry, meant to reply to another message.

  2. Huh, I don’t remember the “running away” part happening to me. Still jerks though.

    Also, I just downloaded the GaMERCaT emoticon pack on Facebook and it’s awesooooome.

  3. Let this be a lesson to you -Looks are deceiving.
    My favorite pokemon is venipede, what’s yours?

    1. Gengar

    2. Lugia and Cubone(i cant decide)

    3. luxray and lucario (the boss)

    4. electivire, he looks like electric/fighting but is only electric (also he’s my favorite, make it happen game freak)

      1. ChaosSorceror_Davidicus

        Bugger! I forgot about Electivire! He’s such a badass! I named mine “The Brute,” he’s Russian. And I support Electric/Fighting. Maybe a future Mega…

    5. Ninetales

    6. ChaosSorceror_Davidicus

      I have many, but notable favorites are Gardevoir, Medicham, Alakazam, Gliscor, Hydreigon, Mamoswine, Cloyster, and Chowizowd. And if we are going for looks, most of the Eevee forms (I am ashamed to admit that Vaporeon in the Poke’mon amie thing made a 25 year old man squee. Flareon too).

    7. Abra or Mr. mime

    8. May be lame, but I like Vaporeon the most.

    9. Mine is Rotom. Cool typing (darn you Gen 5 for changing it!), Neat deisgn, connection to Platinum, the first game I actually owned, sweet powers, and an awesome story involving a characters Star of Darkness. He’s just pretty darn cool.

      1. Rotom ( Because he can turn into a PokeDex in Sun/Moon ) Solgaleo, Lunara, any eevee form, mew, and Greninja

    10. Jolteon

    11. Lucario, Mightyena, and Elektrike/Manectric (can’t decide between them :P)

    12. My undiluted love goes to the one and only Charizard!

    13. Gardevoir is love.
      Gardevoir is life.

    14. Lugia, Mewtwo, and Charizard. Mainly Lugia my favorite water bird. :3

    15. Suicune. Definitely Suicune. Least favorite is Zubat followed by Weedle

      1. My faves are Sylveon, Tyranitar, Gengar, Bulbasaur and its other evolutions, Victini, and jigglypuff.

    16. UMBREO ALL THE WAAAAYYYY!!!!!

      1. sorry I meant; UMBREON ALL THE WAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!!

    17. braiviary cause perfect name is “helmarok”. (sorry if misspelled)

    18. Scyther, the best pokemon to give a Hug~

      1. I like Nickit. Here is a funny little comic by a great webcomic author. https://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic/cure-and-simple

    19. i used to like pikachu, now i am stuck in between urshifu (single strike style), zacain (holding the rusted sword), and eternatus

    20. In the original Pokemon game Blue, my favourite Pokemon is Caterpie, because having it turn into a butterfree and it having bug, flying, poison, normal and psychic attacks was very beneficial in nearly every gym battle I attempted.

    21. the shiny sylveon who likes tea

      sylveon then eevee then espeon then leafeon then glaceon then vaporeon then umbreon then flareon then jolteon then milotc then delcatty then rapidash and ponyta (both forms) thengardevoir kirlia and ralts.

  4. There are no mechanics in which pokemon would flee, except for the safari zone, and you don’t have your own pokemon there.

    It’s fine to misremember things, though. They still would poison the shit out of your pokemon, anyway.

    1. Some wild pokemon can flee(abra being a prime example) though it is not common. Any Wild Dog/Wandering Pokemon will flee battles when they can.

      1. Abra can use Teleport, Growlithe can use Roar. While those certainly are ways to “escape”, it has nothing to do with the enemy fleeing mechanic implented in Gen2.

  5. which pokemon game’s this based on?
    ps5 coming out soon also!!! (faint) i love the first panel and last.
    and idk why i’m saying this but gta 6 is also coming, get ready for some real swearing.

    1. GaMERCaT’s wearing Red’s hat, so I’m guessing this is either Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow, Firered, or Leafgreen.

      Also, what? The PS4 only just came out, why are they already releasing the PS5?

  6. Is the “next” button on last week’s comic broken for anyone else?

  7. It happens like that. Give it a few days and the “Next” button will be alright.

  8. when does this update every week? Saturdays? Sundays? I can’t seem to figure it out lol

    1. Mondays.

      1. Thank you! now I know when to check ^x^

  9. Just a quick comment, as I was perusing through the site, I noticed you don’t have a bio for nano yet.

    In other news, stupid oddish are stupid. Especially in red/blue. them and bellsprout all the time outside of viridian.

  10. PathOfTheAwesomePie

    I imagine every pokemon would have the move explosion in their move set and would use it on their first turn of the battle…. it’d be the worst thing to ever happen! \(O_O\)

  11. They don’t mow the grass because a fundamental moral of Pokemon is coexistence with nature.

  12. turnip? isn’t “oddish” named that way because it’s supposed to be a radish? lol.
    they did annoy me when they did that in the originals, but abra annoyed me more with his teleporting away.

  13. To the site admin:
    Not sure if you are aware of this, but the rss feed has been acting up all week. It keeps swapping between last weeks state and this weeks state. When it reverts to last weeks state it shows ‘Industry Standard’ as a new update(but at the end of the feed), then when it updates to the correct state it shows ‘Hit and Run’ as new again(removing ‘Industry Standard’ from the feed). I sent an email earlier this week to inform you of the feed issue, but I am unsure if you have seen it.

    1. I’m sorry, I’ve been having issues with WordPress and site caching lately (you can see the layout is borked as well) I’m trying to get it fixed :(

      1. Understandable. Just was unsure if the email I sent reached your inbox. Another thing you might want to look into fixing is updating the copyright date in the site footer. It still says copyright 2011-2014.

  14. So cute, so evil… ^_^’

  15. You can use cut to mow the grass on your own but only in the first 3 generations…

  16. oddish >:(

  17. Lock@Shock@Barrel

    *claps slowly in disappointment* that was beautiful *continues clapping*

  18. My favourite pokemon is sylveon

  19. I don’t have a least favourite pokemon because there’s so many bad ones
