Super Effective is a webcomic based on Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. It was first published on April 23, 2008.
It is made by VG Cats author Scott Ramsoomair, and focuses on the journeys of Red and his trip through Kanto, although some comics deviate slightly from the plot of the games.
The humor is based around jokes and questions commonly found in the fandom, such as the fact no one has seen Brock's eyes, and Professor Oak doesn't know the name of his grandson. A majority of the jokes are focused towards mature readers only.
Unlike most webcomics with set days with which they update, Super Effective is published on an irregular basis. This may be because the author, Ramsoomair, is usually focused on his main comic, VG Cats.
Characters
Red
The main character of the strip. His starter Pokémon was a Charmander. Like his game counterpart, he is a silent protagonist and thus largely speaks through his actions. Unlike a majority of the other characters in the series, Red is the most rational and notices the obvious faults of other characters in the series. He made his debut in the first strip.
Professor Oak
Unlike his counterparts in other media, Professor Oak is portrayed as a man with little common sense, unable to remember his grandson's name or determine whether Red was a boy or a girl. He provides both Red and Blue with a Pokémon and Pokédex giving them the task of completing it. He made his debut in the first strip.
Blue
Professor Oak's grandson, also known as Douche. Like his game counterpart, he has a strong rivalry with Red. He also hates his grandfather for things such as forgetting his name, giving him a Squirtle which didn't know any water type attacks and forcing him on a quest to complete the Pokédex. He also takes his catch phrase "Smell ya later!" literally as he takes the time to smell Red after a Pokémon battle. He made his debut in the second strip.
DEX v1.2
Red's Pokédex has a personality of its own, it has a unique sense of humor with a tendency to offer immature suggestions for nicknames like "Butts" and "Penis".
Green
Based on Leaf. Her starter Pokémon is a Bulbasaur. She happens to display an interest in its "tentacles" which she may or may not be kidding about. She has a peppy and bright personality, but she has only appeared in one issue so far, and therefor, not much is known about her yet. She was introduced in the 29th strip.
