Abra Vs. Gastly...I just love seeing these two as fighting rivals. Gastly obviously has the ghost advantage, but his poison side leaves him open to Abra's psychic skills. If I ever do AoA again, remind me to make these two rivals. Thanks.

Ya know...as much as I love you guys, there are seldom few people whom can get me interested back in Pokemon.

Diamond and Pearl for me at least, somehow didn't feel as awesome as Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. The Pokemon designs didn't exactly launch themselves out at me personally and say "HEY ACE, FCUKIN DRAW ME, YO" (unlike a lot of the people I talk to nowadays ;D) with few exceptions and the gameplay somewhat dated and travelling around Sinnoh felt like a chore more than a grand adventure whilst I was still hellbent on getting a complete dex.

And then of course, Pokemon battle revolution dropped the 4 player simultanous play for absolutely no reason, thus also dropping the only reason for myself, Pinkie, Jay and our two friends to bother raising teams. Thanks for

Luckily for old cynics like me, gamefreak are bringing back what was arguably their greatest games, Gold and Silver in glorious remake form. As long as they keep the 16 gyms in, 2 regions and add some fun extras, I'm sure I won't whine too much whilst I await Gamefreak to actually try out a real time battling system or a true 3D Pokemon game. Or at the very least something like XD again.

Long story short, one of the few guys who CAN remind me why my room STILL has pokemon merchandise hanging in it is fellow british person and old Serebiian; Cotton-gravy. Twas he whom inspired me to draw this, and totally rip off his style at the same time.

We salute you sir.
