History Webcomic / BlackAdventures

* HelloNurse: Said word-for-word by Tornadus in the fifth Dreamworld Adventure when he sees Professor Juniper dressed like [[VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}} Valentine]].

The comic began life as a sort of "{{choose your own adventure}}" game on /vp/, Website/FourChan'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, [[TheMissingno 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.

* TeasingCreator: Black-the-artist is very aware of what the fans want; episode 14 was especially ''aimed'' to make the [=NewYorkshippers=] cry. And then came [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming episode 15]].

** TeasingCreator: Episode 14... [[spoiler:Ferris Wheel Closed For Maintenance.]] Readers pulled the same face N did.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: From [[http://blackadventurescomic.com/2011/06/08/episode-15-part-25/ Episode 15, part 25:]]

* InTheStyleOf: It looks completely like something that would come from {{Hiimdaisy}}'s hands.

* [[spoiler: AndTheAdventuresContinues]]

* 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''.

* GenreSavvy: By the time Black gets to Nimbasa Gym in episode 14 he's used to the cross-dressing and fighting random Pokémon. He even hopes the costumes aren't as revealing as the last few times.

* 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]].

* BrickJoke: Bel mentions that Cheren should wear a maid costume in episode 3. Then cue [[{{K-ON}} Moe Moe Kyun]] in episode 7.

* YaoiFangirl: Fennel. And from the looks of it, possibly Bel, White, and Cynthia.

Now has a sequel, ''XYAdventures'' centered around a boy named Xavier and a girl named Yvonne, [[TheFashionista two fashion-obsessed]] teenagers who happened to be wearing the same outfit when they met. It does not end in peace.

!!''XY Adventures'' has examples of:
* CampGay: Xavier. It's established from the get go.
* CampStraight: Ruby.
* ClosetKey: Ruby to Xavier, when the latter was ten. [[IncompatibleOrientation We find out why it will never work out]] [[ShipSinking within the end of the first episode.]]
* IncompatibleOrientation: Xavier and Ruby. Shauna and Xavier. One has figured out that their crush isn't swinging their way, the other has not.
* LivingWeapon: Probably...
-->'''Xavier:''' Are these Pokemon?
--> '''Sina:''' Well... [[SureLetsGoWithThat Yeah, sure!]]
* NotSoDifferent: Yvonne and Xavier, definitely. Both are very into fashion, both are uninterested in Pokemon battles, both are given [[ClingyMacGuffin mysterious swords that cling to their arms]], and both named their starter pokemon something Japanese.
* OpenMindedParent: Xavier's mom is very accepting of her son's interests, both sexual and not, and his lack of interest in Pokemon. She even tries to cheer him up when he learns that Ruby has a girlfriend.
* UnrequitedLove: Two examples within the first two chapters (crusher/object of affection): Xavier/Ruby (sunk quickly) and Shauna/Xavier.

* UnrequitedLove: Three examples within the first two chapters (crusher/object of affection): Xavier/Ruby (sunk quickly), Shauna/Xavier, and Trevor/Yvonne.

* BadFirstImpression: Xavier and Yvonne.
