Unfortunately, there’s no update today; I recently went back to work after it shut down with COVID-19 out and about, and I wasn’t able to fit in time to get the comic done. I also need to play a bit more of the game to come up with some more scripts, but I’ve got one comic on the back burner for now so you can expect an update next Sunday.

Why is it that Pokemon give you their unhatched eggs as rewards for missions? It’s like, “Hey, here’s an unborn child, thanks for getting me that Oran Berry.” And then when it hatches, it immediately tries to join? Bad parenting if you ask me.
Also, Pokepal Panels will most likely be uploading on Sundays from now on! Thanks to everyone who’s been supporting these comics, whether new or old.

Ah, yes. The chicken dilemma of PMD2. The PMD2 script brings up real animals more than you’d think they would.
#020 - Hidden Lands
Noticed this fun little thing happen when I unlocked the Lush Prairie from turning my gummis into juices. I kind of wish that you had to finish the dungeon before requests started popping up, but eh, it’s fine.
#019 - Priorities
Shinx problems in PMD2. Very much worth it, in my opinon.
#018 - Unsuspicious
Surprise! 5 years later, here’s another panel! I found some old sketches of unfinished panels; I lost the scripts, but I think this is how it went in my head. I think I’m actually gonna do another playthrough of PMD2 to see if I can at least get enough panels/scripts done to finish off PMD2′s main story.
Anyways, Dusknoir was suspicious from day one and I’m annoyed that no one called him out sooner.
#017 - Water Float
I’m just terrible. In my playthrough, I noticed that there were certain moments of the game where you could just do missions and not be penalized or anything; one of them being the time where you’re supposed to go to Amp Plains.
I actually went through like, 14 days worth of missions just to get to Gold Rank before advancing the story.
#016 - Dusknoir
Seriously. I think I played this game when I was like... 9 or 10 and I still remember thinking that Dusknoir was the villain from the moment I saw him.
#015 - Aquaphobia
Top three things I hate about PMD: The belly system, no pp ups, rescuing water or ghost types.
#014 - Zeal At the Springs
Okay, I don’t know if it’s just me, but sometimes it feels like the partner’s really really reeeeeally into the hero character. I mean, it sounds like I’m exaggerating in the third panel, but I’m pretty sure if you look somewhere in the game text you’ll find something like that.
#013 - Groudon
Okay, I know it’s just a mirage, but still. To be honest, it’s probably my fault that I’m just breezing through the game right now. I think I spent like, 4 out of the 16 hours I’ve played so far just grinding in Marowak’s Dojo.
#012 - Perfect Apples: Part Two
I like to imagine that this is how that scene went down. Honestly, Wigglytuff is pretty terrifying.

#011 - The True Mastermind
All right, I need to remind anyone following this blog or reading these comic strips; This is my first time playing through Explorers of Sky. I decided I wanted to do something with the special episodes, so I decided to play Bidoof’s Wish before I did the expedition.
It was harder than I expected, but I also now view Bidoof as the main villain.
#010 - Expedition Groups
So I was running out of room between the comics and where I was in the game, so I decided to play through the entire Expedition to get some more strips written out, and when I saw this scene, I actually laughed out loud when I read Wigglytuff say that about Chatot.
As for Zeal’s “ooc” reaction to getting grouped with Bidoof, I like to imagine it that the partner wanted a bit of alone/bonding time with the hero.
#009 - Sentry Duty
I always thought Sentry Duty was entertaining, so I decided to make a strip about. I always wondered what would happen for Pokemon that float; I assume they just touch their bodies to the grate, but where’s the fun in that?
#008 - Perfect Apples
All right, I know that Wigglytuff cries, but the first time you saw this scene, don’t tell me that something similar didn’t run through your head.
#007 - Team Skull: Part 2
Sorry for generally non-humorous strips here. I’ll get back to cracking jokes any moment about how poorly I play this game anytime soon.
Anyways, anyone else hate Skuntank from the moment they see him?
