There is a ring of truth in what you say. I actually have got animation "skillz" having studied the art for 18 months before realizing the institute I was attending was little more than a shake down operation. However, having those skills I realize the cost going in (in terms of time and money). How much do I stand to gain making animations for the escapist? I'm a busy guy, working full time, getting my masters, plus a family. Unless I graduate or drop out or lose my job I don't know where I'd find the time.Josdeb said:
Maybe if I stop commenting on forums online.
Plus, the other thing I'm worried about is what WaderiAAA pointed out. Animation and idea aside would I be able to pull of the funny and delivery necessary to make with the funny? Survey of my past work says..... maybe not.
The humor has some potential, but it's not living up to it right now. The main problem is that it seems as if the dialogue was written by one really uninspired and unoriginal writer. Get some more writers working on this.
So, the first 30 seconds, i was like 'what is this crap...'
After I realized I watched it all and was entertained, I think I will not be missing an episode of this ever.

Hmmm, not really my bag. I kind of missed the pokemon thing, so maybe I just don't get it. Good luck with your new show.
I'll watch it for a few more episodes, give it time to improve, but right now I didn't find it that funny, maybe it's been too long since I played a pokemon game.
By the way, this is going to be nitpicking but one of the jokes in this really bothers me. At 3:11 the main character comments on the "wikidex" giving him useless information. I can see two possible jokes here; the first one being that wikipedia is an unreliable source for information. This is a jokes that has been done millions of times before, and considering that wikipedia is a lot better than it used to be it doesn't make much sense now. The second one being that the pokedex never gives you helpful information. This jokes doesn't make any sense though, since the purpose of the pokedex is to annalyze pokemon to learn about their habits, physical appearance, and other things as biologist would be interested in. It's not supposed to tell you how to fight them in battle. So regardless of which joke you were going for, it still failed.
If you're wondering why I'm nitpicking this joke in particular, it's because it to me represents a serious problem; you couldn't even parody Pokemon properly. After spending god knows how much time on the internet, you still couldn't make a proper joke in a pokemon parody. That's honestly pathetic, and it doesn't bode well for the rest of the series.
Also, enough with the 8-bit music. Just because music is 8-bit does not mean it's funny or nostalgic or whatever it is you were trying to go for. Music of such low quality died out a long time ago, so shoehorning it into this series makes little sense. Furthermore, please put more effort into the monster designs than a blue blob with eyes. Seriously, a third grader is more imaginative than that.

This definitely has potential. Maybe some tighter editing would help, it seems kinda slow I guess. The item system jokes were good though, more of those.
I'll be checking back on this. It needs work, but it could be interesting.

I thought tis would be terrible, but it was alright. I found some moments to be hummus. I'll stick with it and see if it actually goes anywhere.
Fast, and relatively unexpected. Like Explosion! That made me crack up where everything else did not.
