@Metaru: I totally agree. I came up with better ideas while working on this but by that point I was too far along to start over.

@cure: This pixel art was kinda just whatever because the message would still be understood.

if the trainers did the cinnibar island glitch with some max ethers, and repeated until they had glitch amount of ethers in every item slot, then the battle might outlast the gameboy batteries :O

But that's assuming this is an artist's interpretation of the first gen games. In which case the default attack was struggle or something, I think.

fun fact is, as soon as harden runs out of PP, they'll would still attack each other(when no other command is avaliable, combat apears as a command and it takes hp from both you and your rival as an attack) until one eventually faints.

but yeah, this was a rather predictable, boring way to protrait this.

 I think I should have animated a time lapse with them just sitting there.

Ignore

 nice one!
