Nope, Leo and Aeris never crossed my mind. They did the Pokémon thing back when Ruby and Sapphire were the the latest, so they had Brandon and May’s outfits. They did do Pokémon a couple of times after that, but not in the same way.
Nope. Definitely not a VG-cats wannabe.

I love Pokemon-styled Lucy

Now that people mentioned it… Mike does look a little like Leo from VG Cats… Oh well, all in all I would rather actually read the Bittersweetcandybowl comics than VG cats, it takes MONTHS for VG cats to post comics. A am attached to this comic series….. and sequental art. 
Also another reason why I like Bittersweet is because the fact it isn’t actually stupid in a way like what the creators of VGcats did. I do not like VGbutts. So immature. 
I can never imagine people being a VGcats wannabe. Their series somehow doesn’t “comfort” me
Keep up the whonderful comics. I enjoy them.

You guys still had that comment?
Look at May 5, 2011 comment for noobs
Huh. I’m touched

Oh my gosh, they look so adorable as Pokemon trainers! I think they should all wear clothes more often, it gives them a lot more character (and they’re adorable ><).
Comment ID #207481
Wow I can’t believe this I didn’t even expected this!!! 
Welcome to an installment that’s not only in color, but on time! I never would imagine such a thing like that to happen.. but hey, it did XD
Yes, it’s Pokemon-themed. I wanted to make a silly little joke related to Pokemon Diamond/Pearl considering it’s out in America and people are fangirling over it around the woooorld. I’m also stuck with it along with one of my close friends.. so yeah. You’ll understand why there’s Pokemon in the brain at the moment.
Also to clear things off, no, I am not a VG Cats-wannabe ;.; I honestly am imagining thoughts like that to pop out, especially because my characters are roleplaying as video game heroes.. also the fact that Mike is grey.. and Lucy’s blue-eyed AND a meanieface. But hey, Mike isn’t stupid! That’s a difference! *Hit*
I am so proud of this.. this is definitely not a common thing for me to admit, but I definitely tried my very best to make this look wonderful.. I properly sketched it and everything. Seriously.. in real life there are some really big errors, though, but Souppy ended up fixing them through Photoshop.. hopefully you can’t watch them! Nyarhar.
I really wish I could wear the female outfit for Diamond/Pearl. If I knew how to make clothes, I would totally do that. First time I wouldn’t be ashamed!
