'''Pokémon-X''' is a sprite-based webcomic by '''Recon Dye''' that follows the adventures of {{ga|Brendan}}, {{ga|May}} and [[Wally]] around the island of [[Hoenn]]. The comic was based on the storyline of {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} up until the appearance of [[Scott]] after the events in [[Slateport City]]'s Oceanic Museum, when it set {{game|Emerald}} as its base. | '''Pokémon-X''' is a sprite-based webcomic by '''Recon Dye''' that follows the adventures of {{ga|Brendan}}, {{ga|May}} and [[Wally]] around the island of [[Hoenn]].

Over this almost eight-year period, over 1000 pages have been published. The date of the most recent comic published does not match the actual date of publication; Recon Dye has stated that this is because he lists the date as the date he intended the comic to be published. The comic originally updated three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but school and other activities have lately caused Recon to update far more slowly than he intended. Pokémon-X is now over a year behind schedule, but the author is attempting to catch up as quickly as possible. Recon suffered a injury that slowed the catching up, and that injury makes it hard to sit at his computer. | ||
The comic is aimed at mature audiences due to its use of moderate language and mature situations. Recon Dye uses sprites from Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald to make character sprites and wild Pokémon battles, and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] sprites for Pokémon during trainer battles (though he started off using the regular sprites from Ruby and Sapphire, along with a few custom sprites). He also uses custom sprites in rare instances. | The comic is aimed at mature audiences due to its use of moderate language and mature situations.

Brendan is based on the male playable character of Ruby and Sapphire. He has recently moved to [[Littleroot Town]] from {{ci|Ecruteak}}, [[Johto]]. As such, he is familiar with the Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|native to his region]], but not the species that inhabit his new home. However, neither May nor Wally are familiar with Pokémon from Johto, so they generally treat any mention of these as something that Brendan made up.

After he uses {{p|Torchic}} to rescue [[Professor Birch]] from an angry {{p|Poochyena}}, Birch deems him worthy enough to travel the land and complete the [[Pokédex]]. | ||
Brendan often acts fairly dim-witted, although he has knowledge about certain sciences like thermodynamics and can often say things of very high intelligence. | Brendan often acts fairly dim-witted, although he has knowledge about certain sciences like thermodynamics and can often say things of very high intelligence. | ||
