Vermillion being red fucks a lot of millennials up who grew up watching Pokemon.

Vermillion city not being a shade of yellow is the standout because it hosts the Electric Gym (yellow themed). Every other city's gym is related to the town color.

::: spoiler

  • Rock Gym is Pewter city (gray)
  • water gym is Cerulean city (blue)
  • grass gym is Celadon city (greenish)
  • poison gym is Fuschia city (pinkish is commonly poison for pokemon)
  • the FIGHTING gym is in Saffron city (orange ish is a Fighting type color in the tcg)
  • Fire gym is on Cinnabar Island (bright red)
  • Earth Badge is in Viridian (an earthy green)

Saffron City was built with the fighting gym in place. Sabrina's psychic gym has JUST replaced him when you get to town

Gotta respect the spoiler warning for a game/show that's almost 30 years old

This is a pretty poorly made comic but I'll take it seriously and say that unless brown hair guy is 70, black hair guy's argument sucks.

Lol, this comic is 19 years old. I suggest you tell the artist that it's poorly made, so he can have a laugh:

I feel that mindtraveller has not travelled far out of his cave, his mind, or in time.

And hilarity on "poorly made". Honestly, I'm a little stunned that people on the internet wouldn't recognise a comic so popular it spawned 5+ annual geek conventions in multiple countries. Oh, and multiple computer games, boardgames and a PNP RPG. Dear god, those two guys' legacy is so huge.

And who could forget dickwolves?!

I'm just saying that recycling the poses and using stock expression components is some CAD tier laziness, the joke isn't funny, and the style is overly reliant on dialogue, which wastes the benefits of a visual medium. I'd rather actually read CAD, because at least then there's a chance of seeing a visual gag that appropriately uses the comic medium.

I'm not 70 and I've always known that Kong died by falling from the building since I was a child. You're right that you can't assume that everyone else knows that, though.

[-] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

it's not like it hasn't been referenced in dozens of other things. Once it's in a Simpsons episode, there's no excuse.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Although that Simpsons episode is 32 years old now...

you are a poorly educated child, I presume? who leans heavily on the spectrum?

It sounds like your intention is to insult me by saying I have a disability, is that right?

[-] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

wow, calling autism a disability? what the hell is wrong with you?

I just hate long posts. People may not wanna read allat

If those spoiler tags were universal, I would use them all the time. That's one thing I really love about another small forum I use, is that if I worry that I'm ranting, I can just slap a <details> tag on there and anyone who doesn't want to read six paragraphs about why A Certain Magical Index is ass doesn't have to

Can confirm. Also, Veridian being a shade of green doesn't help.
