Description

I had a few generations that were almost really good but had notible errors (the weavile and riolu images specfically). Rather than fix those, I decided to use the good parts of them for a silly comic idea I've had for a while.

For those lacking context: the second Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game had a guild that identified visiting Pokemon by checking their footprint. You stood on a grate and some stranger in a dark hole, alone, checked what species you were by looking at your feet. This is for security, I guess?

The only reason it existed was to add a fun mini-game that used the footprint sprites from the main-line game's pokedex. But it's pretty weird, conceptually. I mean, how is this any better than just looking at their entire body from behind a door slot?

Given how we never see any other form of footprint-based identifcation like the front gate in Explorers, I can only assume that this isn't a normal idea in-universe, and the Pokemon who suggested it had an ulterior motive. Wigglytuff probably just agreed without actually listening.

I want to see what that meeting looked like.
