Budj's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pokemon: World of Chaos 15]

It's been quite a while since I've delved into the wacky adventures of Teejay and friends. Had to double back and rewatch what I've missed since ep 8.

So far things are progressing pretty well. The twist ending was actually quite good and I'm interested to see what direction you take that in. One major gripe I have is the Pokemon battles. I know back in the day of .swf you used to program the battles as interactive segments the viewer could partake in (and potentially lose if I recall) but now that flash player is deader than disco perhaps consider a more streamlined approach to battles? Not going to lie, I skipped right to the end of every single one because we all know Teejay is going to win.

Also the direction you are taking Gardevoir and Teejay's relationship is... bold to say the least. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not one of these backwards savages that think a trainer shouldn't be able to bang their Pokemon but the way their relationship is written feels more like toxic co-dependency than an actual mutual love/relationship. Gard flying off the handle with jealously when a female NPC looks in their direction and Teejay only getting annoyed with her or shrugging it off instead of the two of them talking/showing genuine care for each other etc. Hopefully this is all a means to an end in your upcoming episodes.

Overall I look forward to seeing more.

Hey, good to hear from you again and thanks for the feedback.
I agree that the battles can drag on, so I've started adding things like jumpcuts, one hit KOs, etc. to shorten their time. But I can't remove them completely.
If I remember correctly, you were outspoken against the Teejay/Gardevoir relationship back in the day too. Your analysis of their relationship isn't wrong (maybe a little exaggerated). But despite becoming a couple, their overall interactions with each other won't change much. The romance thing is a sub plot after all, not the focus of the series.

[Paper Mario: Goombario's Quest Ep: 1]

Beautiful!

[JPEG DOGS]

Best thing on Newgrounds since 2014

[Meet Sig and Tessa]

Love the animation and character expressions in this. Was this done in Flash or something else?

[Uncle Gwandpa]

Cartoon Network should air this version instead.

Ex-Poser responds:

I don't think Cartoon network wants it's' rep to decrease further.

[DRAMATIC DEATH: Animation Compilation!]

Woah man there was some seriously great stuff in there! Great collab Jazza, glad you used my piece too! Looking forward to the next one.

[Damo and Darren 3]

So accurate, and I should know as I work in retail in Melbourne's south-east. I see plenty of Darrens and Damos on a daily basis.

5 stars for then.

[A Sity Day]

Very relevant to today's society. An accurate depiction of the troubles the world faces today.

[Garn]

I am Australian and I appreciated every part of this.

KidneyJohn responds:

Well, Happy Australia Day then, mate!

[A Girl In A Room II]

Very cool! Glad to see this got done. Would have loved to contribute if I had the spare time I thought I did have. By far the skit with the spacesuit was my favourite; so delightfully evil and clever! Sound track and voice acting were pretty exceptional across the board too. The part with the dismembered girl near the start felt a bit rushed though.

Overall solid effort. Well done.
