If we did mouse-text jokes like many other webcomics do, it would read: "When teaching pokemon HMs, I think that most of us went straight to asking if we could, rather than if we should"

Thank you all for the kind words. Do you all remember my 10 year blog? And how I never finished it? Some bad stuff happened. All that to say, my artistic mojo had fled since then and I haven't been able to make any such art since. You guys are special. This is the first piece I have been able to do since then. My muse, my mojo, its back. Thanks to you guys :bortz: If you guys like it, maybe Costello will let me do more for us in the future.

But who would bring their HM slave into battle?
I think my idea was that if you are wandering around in the wild and get jumped by a powerful pokemon, your "last resort" pokemon would probably be your HM slave if all else are dead. But sure, if you are in a competitive battle, no you wouldn't bring an HM slave.

Wait... Zigzagoons can fly? :wacko:
No haha, they can only learn Cut, Surf, and Rocksmash. I... am not sure how a Ziggy does any of these things. Fun fact, in Gen III, I remember trying to grind my Aron. Just outside of Slateport on the beac, there is a sailor who has a Surf ziggy and it wrecked my day. I will never forget that smug surfing bastard.

nope, i honestly never heard about HM slave, i'm not very addicted into Pokemon games, the only ones ive played are Sun and Sapphire....
well, in short, a HM slave is an undertrained pokemon that has 3 or 4 HM moves
It is mainly used for its HM moves, and not for combat

and what are HM moves? HM for??
oh... you meant "not very addicted to pokemon games" that much?
HM moves are attack used in the overworld
for exemple, Cut is used to cut a tree blocking your way
Fly allows you to "teleport" to any pokemon center youve been to
Surf allows you to go on water
Strength allows you to move boulder
Flash allows you to see in dark cave
theres a couple more HM

Have to say, this was the worst so far.
I found the art style to be pretty awful and I could barely understand what was going on.

Didnt help that I tried to read it like a manga.
