The comic began life as a sort of "{{choose your own adventure}}" game on /vp/, [[ImageBoards 4chan]]'s dedicated Pokémon board. Black would write the comic based on suggestions from posts with dubs (in short, posts whose numbers ended with two consecutive numbers), which helps to explain the rather nonsensical beginning of the series, which includes Black getting, of all things, [[GoodBadBugs MissingNo.]] as a starter Pokémon of sorts, and traveling back in time to save Hitler from the Allies. After two chapters of this confusion, the series begins to develop its own (and marginally more logical) plot as Black finally starts his journey to become Champion of the "[[BrokenBase New York]]" Pokémon League.

The comic began life as a sort of "{{choose your own adventure}}" game on /vp/, [[ImageBoards 4chan]]'s dedicated Pokémon board.

After two chapters of this confusion, the series begins to develop its own (and marginally more logical) plot as Black finally starts his journey to become Champion of the "[[BrokenBase New York]]" Pokémon League.

The comic can be read [[http://blackadventurescomic.com/ here]].

!!This webcomic has examples of:
* AbsoluteCleavage: Episode 14 features Black in [[{{Durarara}} Celty's biker suit]], the difference being that it's zipped down all the way to his crotch. N as well, given that he's cosplaying [[MsFanservice Vorona]].
* AdultChild: N, who is [[spoiler:21 and a half]] years old. When a sex scene comes up in ''Film/{{Halloween}}'', he obliviously asks Black what they're doing.
** [[spoiler:Now 22]] since the second anniversary.
** The fact that he calls his penis a "weewee" just cements the point.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: In chapter 12 Black wonders whether Joseph and Mary really believe in Team Plasma's cause or are being coersed.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Half of the N-based humor revolves around N's questionable reasons for accompanying Black on his quest.
** By the time they reach Castelia, Black has basically become [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday the same]].
** TeasingCreator: Episode 14... [[spoiler:Ferris Wheel Closed For Maintenance.]] Readers pulled the same face N did.
* ArtEvolution: The normal art style hasn't changed much, but the [[ArtShift shifts to higher-quality, anime-style art]] have improved.
** Although there is a noticeable improvement over time with proportions, backgrounds and shading. To quote a commenter and apparently good friend of Black's, [=ShihFu=], "Oh, lawd. Look at Arti’s arm in the [[http://blackadventurescomic.com/2011/02/20/episode-10-part-13/ 3rd and 4th pattern.]] YOUR ANATOMY IS IMPROVING."
* ArtShift:
** Chapter opening splashes feature detailed, anime-style artwork of one character and various other moments are punctuated by similar shifts.
** Episode 23 features a shift to ''Manga/SailorMoon''[='s=] art style in particular.
* AttractiveBentGender:
** Black and N get a variety of catcalls after the cosplay incident in Episode 5. Cheren causes the entire cast to ''HNNNNGGG'' in Episode 7 when he's forced into a maid outfit.
** [[http://blackadventurescomic.com/2011/05/28/episode-15-part-13/ Arti and Elesa in Episode 15]] cause Black to fall to the floor in shock. Many readers also had to "HNNNG" at the sight of them.
* AuthorAppeal: N and Black spend most of episode 03 in French maid outfits. Then [[Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt Panty and Stocking]] cosplay. Then Cheren in a French maid outfit. Then sexy {{gijinka}} Meloetta.
** The author is very, VERY fond of cross dressing and HoYay
* BadassNormal: [[PositiveDiscrimination Every female character]] that isn't Team Plasma can take care of themselves, no [[TransformationSequence Transformation Sequences]], weapons powered by quantum physics, or [[RuleOfThree Pokemon]] needed.
* BeachEpisode: Episode 19
* {{BFG}}: [[spoiler: N makes one to use on Hitlersect.]]
* BiTheWay: Black appears to fall into this, judging by his crush on White and on Arti.
** Arti as well, who believes that [[IfItsYouItsOkay love knows no gender]].
* BlushSticker: Frequently.
** Fennel is a notable example, as she always has a BlushSticker.
* BrickJoke: Bel mentions that Cheren should wear a maid costume in episode 3. Then cue [[{{K-ON}} Moe Moe Kyun]] in episode 7.
** When N and Black are first in Striaton, [[{{Keet}} Pod]] notes that "[[NoIndoorVoice EATING OFF OUR BODIES IS RECOMMENDED]]!" He's naked in his next appearance.
* BrokenPedestal: Cheren is horrified to learn that the man he has aspired to be is really a senile old man.
* CallBack: [[http://blackadventurescomic.com/2011/01/30/episode-09-part-12/ What? Save Hitler? Don't be ridiculous!]]
* CerebusSyndrome: Mild example
* [[ChekhovsGun Cheren's Gun]]: The Chesto Berries that Cheren gave to Black during the ChristmasEpisode save them from Meloetta's sleep-inducing singing.
* ChristmasEpisode: N doesn't learn the true meaning of Christmas. Or money.
* ClothingDamage: [[http://blackadventurescomic.com/2011/10/11/episode-19-part-40/ Episode 9 Part 40]], combined with a ShoutOut to the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ0UTLIaISM&feature=related Panchira meme]].
** Happens to Black big time in episode 20.
* ContinuityNod: The confusing first two chapters were totally canon, as later chapters reveal, although Black admits that the whole ordeal was strange and dreamlike.
** Also, Black still retains a bit of his tan from the BeachEpisode in the following episode.
* CryCute: N. Oh N. Also Joy. But mostly N.
* CutAndPasteTranslation: The comic uses both Japanese and English-localized terms liberally, in part because the comic began before any details on ''Black'' and ''White'''s localization were released. For example, the Castelia Gym Leader's Japanese name is Arti while his English name is Burgh; his ''Black Adventures'' name is Arti Burgh.
* DeadpanSnarker: Cheren, Black in the beggining arguably.
* {{Deconstruction}}: In the games, the loser of a Pokémon battle must give money to the winner. The Trial Triangle's restaurant is nearly bankrupt because of this.
* DeusExMachina: One of the main reasons the author decided to keep [=MissingNo.=] around.
* [[DirtyOldMan Dirty Old]] [[{{Pun}} Mon]]: Thundurus is disappointed when Black and N's latest transformation doesn't include miniskirts and {{PantyShot}}s.
* DissonantSerenity: Apple the Victini, who can talk about his broken legs with apathetic manner and with a same face he made when he introduced himself.
* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler: Thundurus]] acts like a perv and wreaks havoc throughout Nimbasa. Black[[spoiler:'s Superpowered Evil Side beats Thundurus to a pulp]].
* DistractedByTheSexy: [[http://blackadventurescomic.com/2011/11/15/episode-20-part-09/ N to Black]] when [[WholesomeCrossdresser Black]] wears [[StockingFiller lacy lingerie]] to attract [[DirtyOldMan Tornadus]].
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: From [[http://blackadventurescomic.com/2011/06/08/episode-15-part-25/ Episode 15, part 25:]]
--> '''N''': It's my first time!
--> '''Black''': Mine, too.
--> '''N''': I'm glad we waited, Black.
** [[ItMakesSenseInContext They're talking about]] [[spoiler:riding a ferris wheel. N is glad they waited because it looks prettier at night.]]
* DramaticIrony: In episode 19, Bel tells N that her father is overprotective because he loves her. N assumes the same about his own father. Of course, if you've played the games...
* DubNameChange: Zig-zagged. Some characters are called by their Japanese names (examples we can se here include Bianca[[hottip:*:Bel]], Chili[[hottip:*:Pod]] and Burgh[[hottip:*:Arty]]) while others are called by their English names. Some use ''both'' names with one as a given name and the other as a surname.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Several times in the story, Black is mistaken for a girl. The outfits that he wears after transformation don't really help this problem.
--> '''Black:''' You guys do realize that I'm a dude, right?
--> '''Ingo:''' Not by Deutsch standards.
* DynamicEntry: In episode 04, Black's mother calls Black's Xtransceiver, kicks him in the face, and gives him his running shoes.
** Then in Episode 13, not only do Ingo and Emmet crash through the subway windows in introduce themselves, their Pokemon just drop in through the ceiling.
* EyeScream: [=MissingNo.=] bitchslaps Mary straight in the eye which ends being hideously bloodshot.
* FacelessMasses: In one strip, an NPC Joy is tending to doesn't have a face. Just the letters NPC where it should be
* {{Fanservice}}: Black and N's crossdressing, among other things. The author also seems to know that [[http://blackadventurescomic.com/2010/12/12/episode-06-part-01/ straight]] [[http://blackadventurescomic.com/2010/12/25/episode-07-part-01/ males]] [[http://blackadventurescomic.com/2011/08/19/episode-19-part-01/ are]] [[http://blackadventurescomic.com/2011/11/02/episode-20-part-01/ reading]] this comic also.
** Episode 15. ALL OF IT has made reviewers go ''HHHHHNNNNNNNGGGGGG''.
* FlatWhat:
-->'''N:''' Fine, I know what to do. Black, follow my lead. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsJzJROlITU Cue music!]] ''(N's Menger sponge starts glowing.)''\\
'''Black:''' What.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler: The artist's logo in her Deviantart page shows Black turning into Kcalb long before Kcalb even appeared in the comic.]]
* FullFrontalAssault: Kcalb always appears in the nude.
* FusionDance: [[spoiler:Kcalb appears to be a combination of Black and [=MissingNo=].]]
* GagCensor: N's "Weewee" is covered by Junichi Masuda (the composer for the Pokemon Games).
** Black's gets covered by Chris Hansen.
** And Cheren's gets a question mark. ItMakesSenseInContext...sort of.
* GenderBender: Turning into Sailor Scouts turns Black and Joy into girls.
* GenreSavvy: By the time Black gets to Nimbasa Gym in episode 14 he's used to the cross-dressing and fighting random Pokemon. He even hopes the costumes aren't as revealing as the last few times.
* GratuitousGerman: SCHWARZWALD (look it up)
** Also, [[{{Twincest}} BRUDERLIEBE]].
** Since Ingo and Emmet are German here, this is to be expected. They even call [[DudeLooksLikeALady Black]] and [[TheAce White]], "Fräulein."
* HeroicSociopath: [=MissingNo.=]
** [=MissingNo.=] ain't got nothing on [[spoiler:Kcalb.]]
* HighClassGlass: Churchill's Snivy wears one with a top hat, of course.
* HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct: Inverted, subverted, and whatever else. Not only do the go back to ''save'' Hitler, they ''succeed'' and bring him back to the modern era. We've yet to see any ramifications of this.
** MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight
** As of the first half of chapter 10, Hitler has reappeared to... [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous vandalise Castelia City.]] Graffiti swastikas everywhere!
*** When Hitler finally makes a reappearance on screen, [[spoiler: Team Plasma turned him into [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul Genesect.]]]]
* HoYay: Like there's no tomorrow.
* IfItsYouItsOkay: Arti is by all signs gay, but claims "love knows no gender" and was at one point in love with Elesa.
* InTheNameOfTheMoon: When Black and N transform to combat the giant Garbodor in episodes 5 and 8, they recite an altered version of Panty and Stocking's chant from ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt''.
--->O pitiable Pokémon born in a world not its own; receive freedom from some guys in drag; cleansed of human impact; return to your state of purity. Liberate!
** Played straight in episode 23, where a Sailor Scout-transformed Black and Joy recite their own version of Sailor Moon's CatchPhrase.
-->'''Black''': We are the protagonists.
-->'''Joy''': And we fight for love and justice.
-->'''Black''': I'm Black.
-->'''Joy''': And I'm Joy.
-->'''Black''': [[ItMakesSenseInContext And on behalf]] [[AccidentalInnuendo of my balls,]]
-->'''Both''': We shall punish you!
* InTheStyleOf: It looks completely like something that would come from {{Hiimdaisy}}'s hands.
* ItRunsOnNonsensoleum: MagicalGirl {{Transformation Sequence}}s? Quantum physics. The Nimbasa subway still running despite the power shortage? It runs on [[{{Twincest}} Ingo and Emmet]]'s ''[[GratuitousGerman Bruderliebe]]''.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Black.
* {{Jerkass}}: Joseph, Mary and Jesus. Black and N both have their moments too. Cheren too, Black even calls him a dick. Not to mention [=MissingNo.=], responsible for every ([[PlayedForLaughs comical]]) death in the comic so far. But we love them all. Probably, [[WorldOfSnark everyone except]] [[FriendToAllLivingThings Joy]] has had their moment (Even [[CuteClumsyGirl Bel]]!).
* {{Keet}}: '''''Pod'''''.
-->'''EATING OFF OUR BODIES IS RECOMMENDED!'''
* LampshadeHanging: The beginning of the comic made absolutely no sense, mainly because the author had to blindly follow whatever /vp/ threw at her. And Black does these nonsensical things with confused or exasperated looks on his face.

-->'''Thundurus:''' BLACK, YOU SAY? I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU~ AHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHA
* LevelGrinding: Black and Joy set off to do this at the beginning of chapter 12.

-->'''Black:''' ''*SQUEAK*''
* {{Omake}}: Included on the site is a series of "bonus" comics which was, like the first two canon episodes, drawn based on suggestions from /vp/ posters.
* OrWasItADream: Episodes 1 and 2 are shaping up to be dreams made reality by Fennel/Makomo's Musharna's Dream Smoke.

Next installement, [[spoiler:nothing at all happened on Black's side except Joy healing him with Heal Pulse.]]

-->'''N:''' I can't help it...
* QuicksandSucks: Black and Joy [[StealthPun fall]] for this in episode 12.

* SinisterScythe: [[spoiler: Kcalb]]
* SleepCute: N in episode 18 [[spoiler: until Black wakes up and pushes him off]]
* SnakeTalk: Kyurem, since [[PromotedFanboy a fangirl on the board who roleplays as Kyurem]] has this as her VerbalTic, influencing the author to imagine the comic's Kyurem to talk in such a manner.

* SuperPoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler: Kcalb]]
* TakeThat: In the third bonus comic. "I'M GONNA SAVE BLACK FROM YOU, BUT FIRST WE READ [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} HOMOSUCK]]."

* TalkingAnimal: All pokemon so far seem to be able to speak English fine.
* TeamRocket: Team Plasma, naturally. They're still being treated as somewhat threatening.

** The author has stated that she likes traps.
** Arti and Elesa apparently have the hobby of cross dressing. Oh, and they look good in it. General reaction to this fact? 'HNNNNNNNNNNNNGH'
