Super Effective (webcomic)
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, 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.
Thirty-one issues of Super Effective have been published.
Characters
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 Pokédex giving them the task of completing it. He made his debut in the first strip.
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. 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 is introduced in the 29th strip.
