#ash version

aria: in her boots and dress, feeling overstimulated by the bugs and dirt but rlly likes listening to ash talk about everything he knows and thinks the mushrooms everywhere are so cool, and the tall trees make her feel safe somehow

But in the end, I’m glad we can finally share all of these silly, pixelly things. Now every single page of Ash Version is online for people to enjoy.

One thing that made the Pokémon Diamond (and Jade) bootlegs so infamous was their incredibly bad English translations. The theory is that it was originally translated to Chinese first.

I’m... not at all sure why I made the blue snake thingy a Japanese stereotype like that. I think maybe I just wasn’t fully aware of what constituted an offensive joke at the time. Believe me, there was no malice intended.

I’m not entirely sure where we got this whole “ripping off” concept from. We used it as a gag whenever we referenced Pokémon X, and it comes up again here. It’s not like one sprite comic about a Pokémon trainer traveling around is the same as another.

Gasp!

I’m pretty sure that we were the first to come up with the name “Professor Tree”. At least I hope so.
