PMD: Gleaming Hearts (by Fidchell + a bunch of people, comicfury)
Early spoilers for MCs: Riolu human, Fennekin partner, plus Sandslash that hangs next to them; I can't call him a main character, sorry, he's literally a space filler. Original story with an occasional reference to the games.
Adventure, comedy, more comedy early, more adventure later. There's a story, but it's given out in teaspoons until the last chapter, and the rest of it is just moving from point A to B. And I feel like I have to note "pokemon eating food" as one of the genres because a lot of time is spent on it.
Flat artstyle that makes everyone look pudgy. Peculiar.
This one was brought up in the last thread, and I have a lot of things to say about it; which means most of them aren't good. First, there's a tendency that as soon as the main characters run into a problem, something very convinient immediately happens to either resolve it for them or give them an easy way to resolve it. Second, antagonists turning out to actually have good reasons to be that way or just being misunderstood then befriending the MCs happens way too often. Literally the only time that doesn't happen is the stupid fire birds. Third, I think the comic spends too much time in a state where the main antagonist is completely untouchable and has all the cards, and doesn't really use that time to advance the plot nor for character development. The epitome of it is (chapter 7 spoilers) the scene where MCs evolve. Very little build-up, the evolution just happens through a purely physical effect, and then there's no resolution either, a couple of people shrug and go "oh, cool" and nothing really changes. Oh, and also in that scene the MC reveals to his partner that he's a human... which gets completely ignored. All of that leads to the story having too little tension, too few stakes to be exciting. (1/2)
