To Josiah: Have you figured out the 4 characters teams already or are you just going on a whim?

Image "I've got Brendan and May's teams planned out and most of Xain and Cali's. Naturally, it'll be a long time before their final teams are assembled so expect them to switch around their parties a lot before that. I'm not going to list their teams but, if you take a look at the PV link banners that features Bredan and May and Xain and Cali you'll get to see some of them..."

Josiah, don't know if this has been answered already, but how long does it take you on average to make a comic?

Image "That varies significantly depending on the type of comic. For example, if I'm doing something really simple (like the black suit guys' boss in the dark room) or just reusuing the images from a previous strip and putting in new text (like the current switching battle for example) they can take as little as 15 minutes (assuming I already have the script more or less planned out). However, the more complicated comics where there are a lot of people and or pokémon in at the same time (like two on two battles) take a lot longer. I think my record is about 2 1/2 hours for one strip; it was a fancy gym battle scene with four pokémon, lots of effects, and the mini-dex (speaking of the mini-dex, it takes forever to do, which is why I don't use it much). But, as far as averages go, I'd say that the average ordinary PV strip takes somewhere around 1 hour to make give or take about twenty minutes depending on background complexity, special effects, how much of the script is already done, etc. Of course, that's not counting any time I might have to spend ripping new sprites, which I don't have to do too often but can take a lot of time when I do."

Note: We know about mew because it's from a game: and even then, we only know because of the movies. Nobody on the planet (proffessors included) of pokemon knows about mew, so it would make sense that Brendan wouldn't.

That being said, I apologize and will let Josiah answer.

((Stevenson makes a very good point but I'll still let Brendan answer.))

Image "How am I supposed to be an idiot? I didn't know a whole lot about pokémon in general before starting this journey so if May, whose father is a famous pokémon researcher, doesn't know anything about mew how can you expect me to know anything about it?"

To Brenden and May: Where do you guys sleep when your not in a pokecenter? I mean, that backpack is way too small for a sleeping bag, much less 2.

By that he means, when they get their bikes.

Er... hey, Brendan... if your dad was always off being a gym leader and your mom was always playing video games... who did all the housework and stuff?

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.
