[@mastertrapmon1588]

@@pendraggon1773 Lmao I didn't draw this in an hour. But what Flipaclip records is already a time lapse, so the whole process(video) is already shortened. I've been working on this animation since the beginning of October lol

2:27 That. Hang. The Charmander, hesitating for a second, before taking a chance with a second team. That level of pain is hard to capture. I love it.

[@CloverMations]

638 likes but no comments? Lemme fix that

[@Birdteai]

It definitely can be. I draw extra frames, which is what I think they did in the video. It can be hard to time. Adding to many frames can slow it down too much while adding to little or in the wrong areas can make things look awkward. They really did an amazing job👍

[@HarveyDraws]

I love how their personalities kind of reflect in their lines! The charmanders are more clean where the lion Pokémon (forgot the name! Haha!) are more scratchy!

[@CoraCreates]

If you still forget, the other Pokémon is Shinx.

[@llux1fer]

i was hoping someone else noticed that !!

[@foreversonglol]

ALSO!! Firefly (Shinx)'s outlines only really get scratchy once the two get into their first fight, which might be relating to her obsession with battling and winning the war, and the outlines get smoother again on Firefly in the last shot, but not on the fabric representing what she'd been tunneling for Eeeeee line symbolism stuff teehee

[@HarveyDraws]

⁠​⁠@@CoraCreates thanks! Shinx is actually one of my favorite Pokémon I don’t know how I forgot its name lol 😅 And I also never noticed that either!

[@mikkelludenberg6602]

Also, Shinx is more inspired by linx than lion.

[@auraguardian6277]

There's a subtle detail I noticed in the facial expression of Firefly at 1:34 and at 2:36. The first is the actual expression; the second appears to be what Oran believes Firefly's expression was. It really strikes home how each character felt differently about the relationship.

[@KPoWasTaken]

Well at 1:27 Firefly did initially close her eyes So she clearly had some emotional attachment, but she quickly changed her focus after the start of the farewell hug... she definitely initially viewed the relationship differently to Oran though. She definitely had more emotional attachment than she thought though considering she literally can't bring herself to fight the charizard at the end... Shinx actually imagines Oran's shadow and tries to jump at it at 2:23 but Charizard already destroyed it by the time she's going towards it

[@2cents98]

Now hear me out: what if it's the other way around? What if the facial expression at 1:34 is the one Firefly thought she had, while the one at 2:36 is her real emotions breaking through? Hoping and pleading with herself that it doesn't end like this and that they can act like this fight didn't happen when they meet again. There's also the bit with Bittercold glowing and fiercely clutching Dark Matter before the next scene starts. Both of these things are the culmination of Pokemon's negative feelings, and could be showing Firefly's fear and pain of losing Oran, while the first expression is her trying to bury those feelings and focus on something else

[@SapphireFyr]

I honestly took it as, 1:34 was how she felt at the time--that she was more focused on what she had to do, and her determination to do it even if it meant leaving her friend behind. And, 2:38 was how she 'thinks' of that goodbye much later on, now that (more than anything) she just misses her friend and wished she didn't let him go. The framing scenes make it seem like it's her reflecting on when she and her friend were together, and finally seeing that good she had at the time was the important part, instead of the conflict she let consume her and make her lose sight of it.

[@jellycore1316]

​@@SapphireFyrYeah, same here, I think ^^ But I really like the other interpretations people have shared here too!

[@kierrkalryn9434]

It took me like ten watch-throughs before I noticed how Firefly's lineart changes to become sketchy when they become obsessed with fighting (and the other fighting Pokemon's are sketchy as well), but Oran's stayed smooth (along with the turtwig and piplup's), and now I am even more amazed by this. And then Firefly's lines being smooth again at the end-

[@H0undyy]

You animated a whole song, extremely proud of you! The art and animation is awesome. Never played PMD but I could easily understand the plot.

[@aquifleur]

You really should play it! The newest one is a remake of the first one but with 3D on SWITCH

[@Nobody-yj8yq]

Arguably the best thing to come out of pokemon, undeniably good story for every game. If you like pokemon and quality story, don't wait and play the games.

[@firekirby123]

@@Nobody-yj8yq Eh, I had a bit of a hard time getting into the plot of Super, and GtI is reasonably solid with a few personal gripes about the final few story beats, but Rescue Team and Explorers are absolutely the brightest gems in the *entire* Pokemon IP. I think they just got a bit too "gimmicky" with magnagates and looplets, and focused more on interesting concepts than truly fleshing out the games' overarching stories. (the most interesting section of Super _is_ the different islands, showcased in the above animation, and iirc it's the shortest arc in the game because you only need to visit 1-2 islands before you start reaching endgame) Super also has the *worst* balance of the entire PMD franchise due to the looplet system and I will die on that hill.

[@Nobody-yj8yq]

@@firekirby123 For me the story of Super and GTI is still reasonably good and follows PMDs general theme which i enjoy alot. The gimmicks were fun i think as well, they were broken that's true lol, but extremely enjoyable. But ultimately it boils down to its simply way better compared to the mainline games in mechanics and story IMO, so im not harsh on it tbh. That and nostalgia

[@firekirby123]

@@Nobody-yj8yq I will grant that the 3DS games added one of the better long-standing mechanics with the move level-up system, which is the most enjoyable thing about the newer games. (and something I was stoked to see carried over into the Rescue Team remake) Aside from the looplet system from Super, yes, I will agree that mechanically the latter games are much better system-wise. But story-wise... eh? The first two games had an *amazing* way to get the player personally invested in each, with an underlying mystery surrounding their past life as a human that pushes a lot of the major plot beats forward. I just don't think the latter two have that to the same degree. GtI is fine, I think it actually gets a bad rap more often than not. But one of the biggest things that personally irked me about Super's story the most was how it felt like an unoriginal amalgam of the story from all the previous games, solely meant to cash in on pandering to the largest common denominator of fans. Believe me, I'm not immune to nostalgia, Rescue Team DX is currently my favorite game in the series so far, and that's just a retread of the original. But with Super... I dunno, it felt like they laid it on way too thick to the point where it became distracting. imo, the best thing to come out of Super was Espurr, and even they're done pretty dirty.

[@gkahaian]

I can’t express how incredible this is. The art, the emotion, everything. The crazy part is, this is only the beginning. We are getting a front row seat to what is going to be one of the most popular animation channels on this damn platform.

[@Matuzo_Cannata]

Does anyone know what "Mystery Dungeon" game this animation is from? :'0

[@Temm6130]

@@Matuzo_Cannata in the disc it says that if you havent played pmd gates to infinity or super then you wont understand the symbolism, so id assume one of those 2

[@DinoBat]

@@Matuzo_Cannata Most of this isn't canon to any of the games. The artist combined the settings of PMD Explorers, Gates to Infinity, and Super MD to make their own story. Slight spoilers: 0:11 - 0:24 is the guild (Wigglytuff's Guild) from the Explorers games 0:25 and 2:42 this recurring snowflake thing is the Bittercold, the final boss from Gates to Infinity. If i recall correctly, it symbolizes a manifestation of the coldness in everyone's hearts. The different continents mentioned in the description as the warring entities are references to the locations in Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon. The shinx is fighting for the grass continent, the flag at 0:27 It's also mentioned in the description that it is inspired by a romhack, which I haven't played but might explain the premise a bit more.

[@DoozyDak]

this is ducking awesome!

[@deeznuttes9340]

somehow i doubt that lmao

[@matoshi6472]

2:05 These part got me in the feels. You know you've found a great animation if you get attached to the characters despite barely knowing them.

[@emilymonahan5232]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE??? your characters are so consistently on-model without sacrificing any artistic integrity or expression. everything is super fluid and engaging and just.. wow. the expressiveness in your work truly knows no bounds

[@squibbles_]

I'm not totally sure why, but that last shot of the Bittercold clamping down on Dark Matter always gives me jitters no matter how many times I rewatch this! It's like it's getting fired up or activated, as it senses a conflict between two former friends its violent climax and feeds off of that negative energy-

[@StacklessPancake]

Oh my gosh I love this! The expressions portrayed by Firefly in her fight against the Charizard are awesome (especially when it cuts to her and Oran)

[@Tuxflop]

my god this is one of those animated music videos you dream up in your head when you listen to a song but it’s actually real this time

[@lumioise]

i LOVE how the pokemon involved in the war are differentiated from those not by their heavily shaking/messy lines. and firefly's lines changing back when she decides to stop fighting is such a wonderful touch! fantastic work!! keep it up

[@sunburntheskylander]

the way you animated Shinx has given me an improved sense of appreciation for this pokemon

[@LunaorRufflesidc]

You knocked it out of the park once again! The story between these two is absolutely stunning as well as very plausible for someone that feels like they might be getting towed along Words cannot express how proud I am for you, look how fate you’ve came!

[@sonicsolar2]

I can definitely see multiple fanfics of these two and many different ways it could end for them both. The choice of song, the story of Firefly and Oran, together it leaves an impact of emotion I can get behind. You can see the hurt in Oran's eyes in the bit that Firefly realizes who she's fighting and the life she threw away. Really amazing animation!

[@Rainfall_dragons]

Oran and charazard aren't the same

[@nessaoku4215]

PMD is and will always be one’s of the best Pokémon games ever played I’ll never forget my starters charmander and skitty next to heart gold and gen 5 , the story is just too good . We need another PMD remake

I would prefer a new game before another remake. But I wouldn't be mad if an Explorers remake was announced next.

Commenting again to say I just finished Super :') I am in tears :')) Gonna try Gates after a small break, need time to gather my emotions

[@nightstar4912]

Gates isn't as good as super mystery dungeon but its still enjoyable

[@ImperialPatches]

I know this song is mostly about Gates and Super but the bit at 2:00 where the Shinx has a flashback to the Charmander while fighting the Charizard reminds me of a moment in EoS that I experienced where while fighting a Sceptile, my character suddenly thought about Grovyle and what had happened to him in the future and if he had come back despite what happened like we had. This caused my character to waste their turn and the Sceptile then took that opportunity to chunk like a third of my health. I only ever encountered it in one playthrough and I'm not sure exactly what caused it but that moment has stuck with me.

[@rioluxgaming2396]

I can't help but really be drawn in the story told in the animation. Its so well told through the imagery itself. Especially since I've played both Super and Infinity, so it has me thinking between what started to the war or Firefly's mindset through all of this. What really is on my mind after watching this is what is going through her head, which is hard to pick up outside the points where the mask falls off. Meanwhile, a lot of her expressions are unreadable or hard to figure out, which I actually love. It makes her seem like someone who's very guarded with her emotions and quite stubbornly so. Hard to drive off the course she picks even if its someone who's good friends with her such as Oran. I can't even imagine what a war would do to someone with those characteristics, who then loses the only emotional support she seems to have. How long was she gone to that conflict? And if she made it back, what sort of environment did she return to? It was pretty clear that she ended up desperately missing what she had before and seemingly cast aside the war as well. I don't know if there'll ever be a sequel to this animation, but even if its not, its amazing that such an animation could intrigue me so much with its visual storytelling, the lyrics of the song chosen, and just an amazing premise in general. Fantastic work!

PMD is my favourite type of Pokémon game as well as the series that got me into Pokémon 12 years ago, so seeing amazing fan content like this makes me so happy. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@mikkimoo]

I seriously am so blown away by your animations, your storytelling is extremely well executed and even though I know absolutely nothing about PMD I can completely understand the emotions of the characters. Their expressions and movements are super pleasing to look at, and I’m especially in LOVE with the action scenes. The fight between the shinx and the charizard specifically use such great angles and the effects like the smoke are SO well animated. Actually, EVERYTHING is so well animated!! I just adore every bit of this. I was able to connect with the characters immediately, and even though I don’t understand everything I can still get a great sense of what’s going on here. You did such an amazing job on absolutely everything!!

[@DoozyDak]

This sums up everything I feel about this amazing work too

[@FirstLast-mn4re]

I mean you don't really need to know anything about PMD to enjoy this because the PMD stuff is mostly just the setting. In this animation the characters and their conflict is whats taking center stage. If you've played the games you'd recognize little things like the rescue team badges that appear in all of the games, the armbands that represtent the Grass Continent and Air Continent from Super Mystery Dungeon or recognize the Bitter Cold from Gates to Infinity (which was kind of a symbol for negative emotions and distrust in the world), but other than small little nods like that its pretty self contained.

[@Bonnie_Mairead]

The fact that this was all done in the free version of Flipaclip is even more impressive.

[@FinderOfWorlds]

Good lord you went and made a 3 minute animation, and it's SO good. The expressions, the action and the story, how it all goes in tandem with the music beautifully??? It's really good, is what I'm trying to say. Once again you make me fall in love with these characters in this world you've made.

[@soggy_toastedbread]

Super awesome! I got "Boggle" from you on my recommended and you're a fantastic animator! I also really enjoy the references here to Super and Gates. A lot of people grew up with Explorers and the PMD content gets awfully explorers-centric at times. I like it a lot better when PMD content is referencing the -series- as a whole, not a single title. I ~love~ the symbolism of The Bittercold here, and the continent flags are a nice touch. Actually, the symbolism is just incredible all throughout it.

analyzing time by someone who barely played pmd and never played it again because i accidentally set the language settings to spanish At the start, Firefly is going to fight a charizard, but then it cuts to memories with Oran. They're just kinda goin around places. It cuts to a fight scene. Since Oran seems a bit shocked at the sudden change, I'm going to assume he was also thinking about their memories. Oran doesn't want to fight, obviously by the lyric "Cause all this constant fighting doesn't feel like us" "She told him she wouldn't leave, then she did" is obviously Firefly probably wanting to stay with Oran, but crossing the sea without him. "Maybe he wanted more" might be Firefly's thoughts on leaving Oran, he might have wanted more time to be friends, because there's not much time to be friends when a war's going on. "I fell for someone you but she's just another girl that looks like you" Might be Firefly thinking that the charizard she's fighting reminds her of Oran. "What's love if it's not true?" In this context, It's probably a friendship love than a romantic love. Basically: She might see this Charizard as Oran, and she wants to be friends with this Oran, but they're fighting, and it just CAN'T BE ORAN. He's from the Air Continent, an enemy. anyway i can't find anything else to give more meaning to, so- HOLY CRAP THIS WAS ANIMATED IN *FLIPACLIP?*
