Man… I hope Nurse Joy never figures out she could be charging us! Thank god Unova has free healthcare like all the other Pokemon countries!
Another great GG-Guys comic by Psyguy and SupaDave!

    Silly boy, all you had to do was sleep at your mom's house or at a creepy old lady's!

  2. invadingduck on April 5th, 2011 10:41 am

    But you have to battle her first.

    Beating women into submission is like payment, right?

  3. Leo E. on April 5th, 2011 10:42 am

    One buck?! With all the times I've been there, she could have bought a can of lemonade!

  4. RemielChibus on April 5th, 2011 11:18 am

    Pokemon Curing (Worst Case Scenario) = Making Fainted Pokemon Regain Consciousness
    Smelling Salts + Fainting = Regain Consciousness
    *googles "Smelling Salts"*

    Dammit, $4. I can't beat her business plan.

  5. Mentlegen on April 5th, 2011 11:31 am

    That's it, from now on I will only use pokemons with healing moves…

    "There is no PP left for that move! "

    I know males can be nurses too
    But I sure didn't know that they had to be in a (female) nurse outfit as well O_o

  7. Deep Thought on April 5th, 2011 11:45 am

    AHAHAHA

    nuzlocke

  8. OrionX on April 5th, 2011 12:01 pm

    "We hope to see you again!"
    …Yeeaaaah….about that…

  9. HughbertEsq on April 5th, 2011 12:40 pm

    At least the outcome of Pokemon battles is limited to this… http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2010/09/27/2

  10. KZN02 on April 5th, 2011 12:55 pm

    Well how much could a house be? Usually you'd find small, one story houses without a bathroom.

  11. seanhl on April 5th, 2011 12:57 pm

    *You beat Nurse X* "Hey, you better get that story right!" *clumsy Nurse X's pokemon fell down a set of stairs*

  12. dekuskrub1 on April 5th, 2011 1:06 pm

    is anyone else curious as to why the zebstrika is on fire?

  13. OrionX on April 5th, 2011 1:33 pm

    Smellingsalt is a TM now? And it's only $4? Awesome.

  14. Ichiinu on April 5th, 2011 1:39 pm

    Unless, of course, you make the mistake of taking them to the park:
    <img src="http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/comics/2010-09-20.jpg&quot; counter="OMNOMNOM">

    Granted, I guess nothing says they're actually dying at some point…

  15. Ichiinu on April 5th, 2011 1:43 pm

    Oh, it's just using Flame Charge. Zebrastrikas love that move.

  16. Ichiinu on April 5th, 2011 1:43 pm

    Not to mention the free mansion in Platinum…

  17. HughbertEsq on April 5th, 2011 2:17 pm

    Hooray for the Pinwheel Forest Nurse

  18. TheAceOfSkulls on April 5th, 2011 2:22 pm

    Just like in real life!

  19. dope92 on April 5th, 2011 2:28 pm

    this is proof that they hope to see you again.

    trainers are cash cows for healing centers

  20. DM1293 on April 5th, 2011 2:36 pm

    The only Pokemon that dies is Charmander, and thats only because his weak point is his tail flame.

    Then again, I fail to see how razor sharp leaves, flamethrowers, rock tackles, solar beams (I like to call it "insta-cancer" beam) energy blasts of all sorts, ice storms, thunderstorms, fire storms, rock slides, earthquakes, poisonous sludges and gasses, and generally getting hit by a tackle from any Pokemon that weighs more than 400 pounds or is five to ten stories high are all somehow NON-LETHAL.

  21. Crazysam10 on April 5th, 2011 2:49 pm

    Well that explains why they want your pokemon to get hurt.

  22. Alpar on April 5th, 2011 3:18 pm

    Pfft. Who buys lemonade from vending machines anymore when you can find them in bushes like a pro?

  23. MC Ninja on April 5th, 2011 3:21 pm

    Putting her kids through college…? Her kids are clearly failures for not becoming Pokemon trainers when they were ten.

  24. C__F on April 5th, 2011 3:32 pm

    This is my favorite Manly Guys Doing Manly things panel of all time. And it's relevant!

    <img src="http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/Tau_Rho_lambda/ManlyGuysCapitalism.jpg&quot; /img>

  25. C__F on April 5th, 2011 3:34 pm

    My Poke-Respect for you increased tenfold.

  26. SpartanJedi on April 5th, 2011 3:35 pm

    A troll getting +1s? In mah Halolz?

  27. Red on April 5th, 2011 4:04 pm

    Screw the Pokemon Centres!!! I have hot springs

    I'll open up the hot springs at my mountain for you guys!
    Quickly everyone, before the Nurse Joys get suspicious!

  28. Red on April 5th, 2011 4:04 pm

    as far as you know…

    muahahahaha

  29. Red on April 5th, 2011 4:06 pm

    or a free egg roll (can't get link to Robot Chicken clip, sorry)

  30. Fearow on April 5th, 2011 4:08 pm

    The person in the nurse outfit is Liz, so no reason for you to think there is a man in a womans nurse outfit.

  31. Zyquux on April 5th, 2011 4:11 pm

    No, no, he's a reformed troll now.

  32. seanhl on April 5th, 2011 4:31 pm

    and the fact they're ELECTRIC type and love that move makes unholy sense, maybe they just realize everyone recognizes it as this game's Rapidash and are just being honest and forthcoming

  33. dekuskrub1 on April 5th, 2011 4:38 pm

    the tepig line can learn grass moves
    explain that

  34. GazzyW007 on April 5th, 2011 5:02 pm

    I think thats turning into the unoffical webcomic of Halolz. For good reason.

  35. GazzyW007 on April 5th, 2011 5:04 pm

    Best part of the strip: No one wonders how the kid got enough cash to give away a buck at a time to pay for a house and 2 lots of college education.

  36. Ichiinu on April 5th, 2011 5:11 pm

    Dude, the Tepig line learns SCALD
    Where does it come from!?

  37. Pioneer1 on April 5th, 2011 5:18 pm

    That reminds me so much of the Rag Rappy…

  38. Pioneer1 on April 5th, 2011 5:21 pm

    well… I COULD explain the their fire moves with Physics, but Physics don't seem to apply much in the Pokemon world anyway
    *cough* Platinum *cough**cough*

  39. Th3l4st0ne on April 5th, 2011 6:20 pm

    Looks like Berserker's repeated corrections have made a good boy!

  40. Th3l4st0ne on April 5th, 2011 6:24 pm

    Yea but…you know… there is tourists that need a bathroom sometimes and since there isn't…and peeing on the ground isn't something subtle.

  41. Citrovc4 on April 5th, 2011 6:30 pm

    Now Officer Jenny is going to start charging for "Protection".

  42. Red on April 5th, 2011 7:23 pm

    BTW, trying to come up with personalities for my main poke's in White…
    so far I've got:
    (poke. / personality)
    Simipour / Crazy Hollywood Star (use him in musicals, so why not) … currently Charlie Sheen

    Haxorus / bipolar (i.e. I'm gonna tolerate and love the shit out of you… then rip your head off and shit down your neck)

    Staryu / total stoner

    Emolga / slow, tired… creepy (in a 'me gusta' kind of way)

    so there's still
    Rufflet
    Zekrom

    others as I catch them

    ideas???

  43. Vorack45 on April 5th, 2011 7:58 pm

    He actually only went there twice, but the exchange rate from pokedollars to american collars is insane!

  44. JesterJoe on April 5th, 2011 8:24 pm

    tmotom, why are you actually making me laugh?

    I am more proud now.
    We all doubted him, labeled him as a troll, and shunned him when he said he'll become "Tmotom, that cool guy on Halolz"….I am sorry for doubting Tmotom. Very sorry.

  45. tmotom on April 5th, 2011 8:32 pm

    Yay! Now I'm cool!

  46. Kn0w1d3a on April 5th, 2011 9:27 pm

    Kids? Is there a Doctor Joy we don't know about?

  47. quaker171 on April 5th, 2011 9:47 pm

    This is exactly what he has done with his trollness. http://www.onemorelevel.com/game/trollface_launch

    Now, everybody pitch in and help tmotom out of this rut!

  48. quaker171 on April 5th, 2011 9:48 pm

    I had that problem about a year ago… *sip* Welcome to last year. Damn time portals…

  49. quaker171 on April 5th, 2011 9:50 pm

    And when she tried to heal them, she couldn't afford to because she lovingly gave me all of her money after the stair malfunction.

  50. quaker171 on April 5th, 2011 9:53 pm

    Magnets, of course.

  51. quaker171 on April 5th, 2011 9:55 pm

    Make it an infinity spring!

  52. quaker171 on April 5th, 2011 9:56 pm

    Rufflet- Annoying little nosy guy.
    Zekrom-Playground bully who will eventually meet the "big kid", namely Kyurem.

  53. quaker171 on April 5th, 2011 9:57 pm

    Ya know the secret rooms? Guess where they lead. Here's a hint: it involves a tunnel system and some "Magazines", and I'm not talking about GameInformer or CoroCoro.

  54. quaker171 on April 5th, 2011 9:58 pm

    What's a dace? If you mean dance, don't make me break out the G. Hammer.

  55. quaker171 on April 5th, 2011 9:59 pm

    But, unlike traditional Unova brand TMs, it will still break when used. Damn recession. If you actually go and try this, you might get a cookie. Or not. We'll see.

  56. quaker171 on April 5th, 2011 10:00 pm

    *turns on stripper music*

  57. quaker171 on April 5th, 2011 10:02 pm

    He's got a deposit left over from my Samurott's Hydro Pump. Badass pokemon using badass moves. Forever.

  58. quaker171 on April 5th, 2011 10:03 pm

    Eh, I'll stick with TM 17. Except with Regigigas, the only pokemon who can use TMs that can't use THAT TM.

  59. BLAMEY0URFATE on April 5th, 2011 10:15 pm

    The Unova Joys did buy out the Poke Mart and made it a part of the Center. They're getting greedy…

  60. Ichiinu on April 5th, 2011 10:37 pm

    Awesome, I now have enough for the super upg-…
    ಠ_ಠ

  61. quaker171 on April 5th, 2011 10:47 pm

    It's more likely than you think.

  62. quaker171 on April 5th, 2011 10:48 pm

    THAT UPGRADE'S A SPAH! I think it's a trollgrade…

  63. demospyro on April 5th, 2011 11:00 pm

    So, I'm guessing pink haired women aren't that bright huh? I mean, with you getting at least 300-500 bucks a fight and lemonade costing 300 you'd think he'd be makin' it rain.

  64. Sceptilianblade on April 5th, 2011 11:04 pm

    Waaait a minute… where'd that Raichu come from? The Pikachu family isn't found in Unova!

  65. Jimmy on April 5th, 2011 11:09 pm

    Damn, I was hoping no one would notice…a dace is actually a fish but…

    damn it *BAM!!!*

  66. Sceptilianblade on April 5th, 2011 11:10 pm

    *sniff* *wipes tear* They reform so fast…

  67. Jimmy on April 5th, 2011 11:12 pm

    1.) Be a fire type with a weakness to water types

    2.) Learn a water type move

    3.) ???

    4.) Profit!!!

  68. Jimmy on April 5th, 2011 11:13 pm

    GRAMMAR HAMMER!!! (It's too expensive to use grammar balls anymore especially with crack being above $300 lemonade)

    *I COULD explain their fire moves with physics,

  69. Jimmy on April 5th, 2011 11:16 pm

    Trade? IDK I got my friend who beat Diamond (and transfered his guys over to Pal Park) to give me a charmander right off the bat. I had a Piplup AND a Charmander in my Diamond version early on. You can guess which of those became my epic party leader. I KILLED THEM WITH FYAR!!!

  70. BoxeyBrown on April 6th, 2011 12:02 am

    This made me smile :)

  71. Xenrek on April 6th, 2011 12:20 am

    then the kid realizes they are a socialist government and he never actually had to pay her anything. oh the lolz.

  72. DrSexington on April 6th, 2011 3:58 am

    Of course, cause what kind of parent doesn't send their children out on journeys when their just 10?

  73. DM1293 on April 6th, 2011 4:42 am

    Old Age.

  74. tmotom on April 6th, 2011 3:21 pm

    Capitalism as…. a cyanide pill?

  75. Megachipman on April 6th, 2011 8:40 pm

    is it too late to start working at a pokemon center, all i have to do to physically alter my body form is to tell the professer im a girl.

  76. Puflwiz on April 6th, 2011 9:23 pm

  78. deathbychickens on April 11th, 2011 11:44 pm

    looks like he had to…
    *sunglasses*
    …pay the price!
    YYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
