Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

But the difference is they like beating the hell out of eachother
Yeah, they do.

Yeah, I picture them like Goku and Vegeta. If you're not fighting at 100% with the intent to kill your opponent, you're insulting them gravely.
It's never truly to the death though, even if they get yeeted into oblivion they just respawn. They are immortal beings
Goku and Vegeta don't actually go all out and kill their opponents very often either. They like to tell their opponents to go all out while holding back as much as possible themselves because they don't respect their opponents unless they make them go all out. Pretty much every single character in that multiverse is like that. But it does sound badass, even if it's a subtle insult to their opponent.
aka the Pokemon rationale
No, Pokemon are forced to beat the snot out of eachother and then shoved back into a tiny ball
In-game lore says that they enjoy combat, akin to sparring matches.
Oh right, they love getting beaten to the point of losing consciousness, I forgot the Pokemon company buried that in there
I'm not saying it's a good rationale
For sure. I guess all Pokemon are sadists at heart
