Aaaaand welcome to Book 2!
I'd been wanting to make a chapter covering the Johto games since the very beginning of the comic; Gen II is my favorite Pokemon generation and Gold/Silver/Crystal are some of my favorite core series games. Unfortunately, at the time, there was a bit of a snag--the Gen II cartridges released in America are notorious for having unusually low lifetimes for the save battery, meaning my games didn't save anymore.
This was back in the day before virtual re-releases on newer consoles, so I did what any dedicated fan would do: I bought a new battery for my Silver cart and a friend of mine helped me get the cart open so we could replace the battery. Miraculously, that worked, and I was able to have another Johto adventure.
If you know anything at all about those games, you're probably wondering what Kris is doing as the player character when it's supposed to be about Silver Version. I did indeed base these comics off Silver (so no, no Eusine or Suicune subplot here, sorry), but Crystal was the first core series game to allow you to choose the gender of your player character, which, being a girl, I really appreciated. So I decided to honor that by making Kris the main character of chapter 2. (No shade to Ethan, but Kris is kinda more fun to draw anyway.)
So buckle up--the adventure starts tomorrow!
