Trapex's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pokemon Red: Rock Tunnel]

This animation did relate back to when I played Pokemon Blue for the first time (my 4-year-old mind was blown aback), when all the sound effects of the Pokemon or anything is general scared the living hell out of me. I didn't figure out until 3 weeks into the game that I could actually turn down the sound on the Gameboy Color.

Although it did relate, it didn't keep me enthralled. Everything was just an expected montage of some sort, the death of the Charmeleon being the latter of it all. Oh, it's unable to battle!? Big surprise there. When I see the ratings of these not-so-fairly-new animations, I always tend to be disappointed on how the Newgrounds public can easily get that entertained over a popular meme of some sort (not saying this is one, but the whole "death of Pokemon" seems to be going around a lot on the web these days).

The artwork itself was actually very well done, for the most part. I don't know if the Charmeleon was supposed to look like a deranged miniaturized dinosaur or anything like that, but it just added to the flare, if you will. It's one of the only tolerable reasons why I gave this short movie a 3 star rating. If you just improved on a sense of humor instead of a bunch of yelling, then I think that it would leave me coherent enough to write a review on how humorous and funny this movie actually is.

Best of luck.

Hey thanks, I am still working on my humor, in all honesty I didn't think my other 3 animations were funny either. But practice makes perfect!

[SMB GT TGA Intro]

So I couldn't help but notice the file-size of this thing. 12.3MB for just an intro? I mean, that's a lot of bulk for just something that isn't really going to be part of the "feature film" if you will.

I'm taking it that you customed some to a whole hell of a LOT of these sprites? Some of these look just too amazing to actually be ripped off of a sprite sheet.

From what I saw, there seems to be a lot of loose ends to tie up. I forget, but who is that partnered up with Dark Bowser? Some type of Godzilla monster? Not to mention, is the Dark, Shady Armored Koopa the main boss or is Bowser still at his reign? Answers, man; answers.

Also, with the recent calling quits of Alvin with his SMBZ series, you really DO have a lot to live up to. But, from what I've seen so far, with the epic animation and such, I think you'll do just fine....if you don't end up having your fanbase wait a year for each episode.

Good luck!

The Godzilla monster is Asylus, my OC.
