Rare Candy Treatment

Rare Candy Treatment is a Pokémon webcomic series without continuity. The humorous aspects and flawed logic within Pokémon games are joked about in the strips. They start with HeartGold and SoulSilver, the second generation remakes. But this isn't a strict rule. A first generation joke appears later as well, involving Missingno.
I thoroughly inspected every comic I've come across. I even went through the hover text on the images for this. That was a good call. The comics alone, in many cases, won't make me laugh, but the hover text will provide a smile.
The fellow who draws these goes under the username of “Bumbazzle”, and has his picture set to a Misdreavous with a Nietzsche-stache. Check out the Info section for more on the dude. D-uh.
Oh, and he appreciates wordplay. One of his earlier updates was a graph instead of the usual comic. It came with a warning: "This update contains graphical content, viewer discretion is advised." (That's a real knee-slapper to folks like me). To get a few of the comics, you'll need a good level of Poké-knowledge. I don't mean IVs, EVs or the shiny factor. I'll be honest, I haven't read all of the comics yet so I don't know if there are jokes involving these. Below the façade of an innocent animal slavery game, lies the evil of arithmetic and probability. In this macabre underground society there are people who will cut international deals just to repeat the same very tedious chore expecting a result with only one in over a thousand (1024 at best) chance of success.
I don't mean to scare you, most of the humour is quite simple and within appreciable reach. There are some terms such as nature, STAB, etc you should be friendly with if you want to understand some of the jokes or descriptions.
