Due to the previous user-maintained gallery containing Patreon-exclusive contents, as well as unreleased content (unused concepts and such, redbubble store material), I decided that if I was going to request its deletion, I would create and maintain a gallery myself so e-hentai HMGBAPS readers wouldn't lose an easy and accessible place to read the comic. On that note, I want to thank the people who aggregate and rendered my (non Patreon-exclusive) content accessible here for their dedication!

The previous gallery had a wide range of content, from Shorts and additional arts, but it seemed to make updates hard to find for users. Please let me know if you would prefer me to aggregate ALL HMGBAPS non-comic side content (character sheets, concepts, etc) here, or in a separate gallery.

HMGBAPS is updated on Friday weekly.

12/02/2022: Added the Shorts after the chapters they appear in so events appears in the chronological order they're supposed to! Please forgive the file naming, I mistakenly referenced the e-hentai page number rather than the original files name, which I belatedly realized; Made sure everything is in the right order manually, removed some of the Shorts that are no longer considered canon post rewrite... I consider redrawing and expanding the whole Clem/Aya arc, as well.

Separate galleries work best, I think. Really, as long as the newest page can just be found at the end of this gallery, we can follow along.

Honestly while I know it sucks to have your patreon-exclusive content leaked this is probably the best that could've happened.

Not only does this mean we have a dedicated gallery approved and managed by the Artist themselves.
It's set up in a way so we don't have to scour the entire gallery for what was just added.

Your art is amazing and I look forward to every update. <3

#165 Elsa's back!

Base +6, SilentGanker -7, Kyubi Sora +8, kurotaro +7

As I do every year, I will take a month long summer break starting from June 30 to August. There will still be random content update during that month (I plan to use the time to get some design work done, notably Sinean designs and have some fun) and get so rest and recover in the meantime! HMGBAPS, Unsheltered, and Legends Arceus: Strange Shores updates will stop until the end of the break!

As I didn't want to stop HMGBAPS on another cliffanger, the last two pre-break pages will be replaced by a 2 pages Wild Times mini arc around the "current in Galar" team. I hesitated to upload them in this one gallery, but it would be confusing on the long term.

You can find them on my HF and Twitter starting today.

Wow, the pre-rewrite stuff was written better and was sexier. It also had a better art style. Very beautiful and fit the theme. I loved how you frequently used your knowledge of pokemon in the story. Now it looks closer to post-modernist stuff and the story doesn't feel grounded as a pokemon story anymore. It just uses the characters without incorperating anything beyond that.

Page 68 was very heartwarming.

I think a lesbian sex scene between Elsa and Laure would be amazing, both smut wise and plot wise. And sex scenes with Mrs. Liliscione or Anabelle would also be great. I know if someone tries to trick Anabelle into having sex they'll be eaten by Girantina, but someone could tell her how beautiful she is and not be deceptive.

I feel like I'm going blind or crazy, but wasn't there a section that showed Eerie wanting to learn how to mega-evolve by herself, and then going off to a porn studio on her own and giving Lou and ultimatum to sign her off to the studio for good and stuff? I can't seem to find it here anymore. @_@

Tbh, the more I read this, the more I genuinely believe it is Eerie, not Lou who should be apologizing. On top of that, she's done little to make amends, properly apologize or fix the situation, other than offer some wild Pokemon she met at the Park. She isn't loyal nor is she loving.

From what's we've seen, especially in scenes where she was smiling with other actresses on set while Lou was standing by miserable, Eerie is just as bad as Aya, except Aya is honest about being a playgirl. She's just a s much of a Playgirl, but refuses to admit it.

@Stevester: I thought about it as I (initially) had adapted HMGBAPS CH2 to include Galar in it (and then the entire rewrite made it easier to take it into account) but I decided against it this time, as it would require a another narrative shift, and while I'd love for Lou to get a Tinkaton, the gymnastic to get there would almost require another rewrite... So my plan for Scarlet/Violet as of now is that it'll come in its own story

2. Actually I just haven't had the opportunity yet; I had drawn some Alpha-sized (before PLA) pokémon that were supposed to appears in the og chapter 2 but then got retconned; both Dynamax and Alpha size will appear eventually

Bravo, Kite. What you've made here is truly phenomenal. I was looking through your work coming off of your Fallout content expecting more smut, and I find a drama that manages to capture the core theme of the importance of the bond between human and Pokemon better than any of the main-series games do. Your artwork is exceptional and every style you've presented works brilliantly in its own ways. I eagerly await further updates.

Why the heck is she making traditional Japanese female wedding attire!?

Base +6, kurotaro +7

Recent BG tests (essentially return to 3D backgrounds) had me ponder how my old style would shape up with current rendering techniques. The next few pages will continue that test till we change location again, or something long term is finally established.

Pro: The "old style" had something I found none of my recent styles had and has been trying to replicate since then; I suppose I'm more of a shading artist than a line-based one.
Con: the old style (and this update one) take a shitload of time and effort to do, and if I have recovered enough to handle that workload again these couple years, it's still demanding.

Going forward and for the "Hanamachi" sequence, I'll test a way to simplify it while keeping it shading and see where it goes...

Thanks for your patience with my style explorations, and for your encouraging words.

The last two updates were Shorts, which you can find on Twitter and HF, and that I'll update at the end of the chapter as not to parasite the sorting.

Sorry for the two missed updates, been a couple of hard weeks to focus on high production pages, tho I hope you'll enjoy the maid themes of the last two Shorts.

Why not split up the new and old versions, if they're related only by title? It's too crowded the way it is...

Base +8, lex15226 +6, kurotaro +7, Godofdrakes +11

Because there's no "new" version, only the former chapter 2 were discarded and part of the story was rewritten, but everything before the new CH2 still leads to where the characters are now. It would make no sense to separate them both, though for all intents and purposes I could've named the current ongoing chapter a sequel instead of a continuation within the same story.

The Shorts were added at the end of chapters they happened after/related with as per request of people here too.

@SirTwenty7 Mass is actually not a factor when calculating gravitational acceleration. Gravity is 9.81m/s^-2 (3 s.f). From a height of 14 meters, it would take 1.69 seconds to hit the ground, at a speed of 59.63km/h.

The number itself isn't important, it's what's occurring throughout that small timeframe that's being emphasised.

Base +17, leileis +6, Melyn +6, Teh_Red_Guy +12, brazzil +6

@Ragner Angel That'd be true in the void, but in Earth's atmosphere, you have to account for mass due to mass/volume ratio (density) and mass/surface ratio and repartition. Although, on such a short distance and with an average human, these only have a negligible impact.

That said, you're right, what's more important is how much goes through her mind in the very short span of her fall. I just had trouble figuring myself how fast it'd actually look when imaginning the scene.
Come to think of it, 14m is much shorter than we'd imagine (think lenght of a bus or a small boat), and 2s is actually way longer than it sounds.

All in all, that's plenty enough time and distance to see your death coming, especially given our brain's capacity to distort our perception of time.

@KG3293: I mean you're not WRONG, I have often considered if I should continue this one as a SFW comic, or redo this one as a SFW comic; originally, HMGBAPS was supposed to be a 20 page long comic about a porn actress Gardevoir and her reluctant trainer; it pretty much had nothing BUT porn in the beginning.

But I sorta fell in love with the characters and the rest is history :P

Base +9, brazzil +6

Since you're probably struggling rn on how to fit all the plot/backstory you wanna share in limited bubblespace, I Don't know how other folks like it, but I don't mind walls of text between drawings, as long as there are drawings and not walls of text only. I mean, it's the benefit of the internet, that you're not gonna run out of virtual paper, and if you're worried about people just skimming trough it will get confused, you may leave the bare bones strictly important sentences as black (or if it's Aya the red baron, white) background is text, while having all the rest of the conversation as slightly lighter , more backgroundish hue(Maybe even gradient, or a picture, although the text would have to be quite thick strokes for it to be sensible, meaning that the "important part" would then stand out better being thin)
Just an idea, so you won't burn out yourself over a single convo, nor trim it down to the point that it doesn't sound natural.
Although with how you've shown your expertise with framing and layout, I'm sure you could make a few tens of aesthetically captivating (i.e both interesting and nice to look at, regardless of the text content) pages, while keeping actual drawing to minimum, had you wanted to (although it would be a lot of planning and mental work compared to drawing work I guess, so it' an extremal example, instead of something more convenient)

Base +7, brazzil +6, NotThatSunny69 +4, Pika132 +10

This was kinda good at first, but now I just have no fucking clue what's going on. It gives off the impression of trying to be deep and intricate purely for the sake of it, despite the title giving the impression it's going to be all porn. This isn't helping the huge lack of actually good Pokemon comics.

It's Girlywatch all over again. That started as just porn, which was great. But then out of nowhere it switched to zero porn, completely serious, and it just felt ruined.

A new selfmade pokemon region, huh? This is going to raise many eyebroes, but I like it. I might be pulling this outta my ass, but i believe the Pokémon company has rested on their Laurés recently, and the Palworld success kinda opened up that you can have that type of fun in other games. Also bob-cut origami mon is super cute

Base +7, Astartes91 +6

The art is really good, the porn was nice and the plot was alright as it was introduced about halfway into the comic... The complete switch to no porn and "serious" plot is honestly quite bad, the story on it´s own is not bad but it feels like it has no clear direction on where it´s going, it´s giving off a "serious and deep" vibe but there was no proper build up to earn that, sure it could work as fluff in-between porn because pretty much anything works for that, but it´s far from enough to hold interest on it´s own.

The art is still really good though, the author should either go back to making porn or if he/she doens´t feel like it, reboot this whole thing and build a proper story for it from the ground up.

Base +6, JCorvus +6, SmithSmithSmith +6, BigOOFF +6

Oh I am liking the new Fakemon Orikami and her line. What's her type? Grass/Psychic? Maybe mono Grass? Or Grass/Steel like the last origami pokemon we had?
Also absolutely loving the plot, the attention to established pokemon lore and introduction of plausible new concepts is brilliant. At first I was here for the pokesex, but I'm staying for the story (and the pokesex).

Base +10, brazzil +6

@Flowerslaughter I'm inhaling copium hoping that TPC, seeing the success of Palword, is considering how they're going to do the next Pokémon Legends, pushing the "survival" element of PLA far more

@Riftwalker: I considered this (a full reboot) to be fair, but as it'd be somewhat daunting to do 3 years in and pretty frustrating to the readers to go back 3 years back, so I've decided a while ago to go for a middle ground approach; the ch2 "soft reboot" prologue, then CH2 and 3 as "setup", conclude the comic, learn from it, and then do a "properly built" sequel. Despite it's negative aspect, people have been enjoying HMGBAPS as it is and as it became, but by no mean am I blind or unaware of the flaws of its construction!

It was my first longform comic after all, so I'm pretty happy it even got that far, even if I switched gears midways.
Now gotta learn from what worked, and more importantly, what I fucked up and not do it again :P

My current plans are as follow:
> Finish HMGBAPS in current form. Made its bed, gotta sleep and wake up in it, which will be less frustrating/annoying for everyone than restart from the get go, though it's an option to consider for once it's actually finished
> Launch properly built sequel

I'm also considered, once main comic is done, having an Unsheltered like comic (4koma) focused on the actual pornstar element of HMGBAPS itself happening in current story.
Basically, I want to reemphasize the pornstar bit, and have the story I'm building up to, so best bet is to separate them somewhat and have a collection of stories happening within the same universe,
or properly compartmentalize then in "sequel".

Thanks for the feedback!

@kilik68: (replying in EN cuz answer may interest others): All shorts that were kept are canon to the story, yep! The flashback stops at Annabelle's intervention, and resumes to the "present"!

Glad you like the story! :D

Base +7, brazzil +6

I guess we'll now get introduced to another young scion in Laure's party, followed by a glimpse of someone chewing today's Laure head off about about something really important (That they possibly had to and did dealt with on their road through Sinnoh often), with the excuse of Aya giving her girlfriend a warning of the dangerous forces at play in Kalos(foreshadowing)

Edit: well scratch that, we're getting a justification for Aya/Lou relationship instead, apparently scratching off Lou getting shoved at Aya as a known womanizer, and replacing it with Aya being shoved at Lou for career climbing. It fits the rest of the story, and makes Aya less "villainous" in the story itself, but it's also another quote-unquote achievement taken away from Lou's life (getting attention from an influential trainer was entirely "to marriage" setup by her mother, instead of her just networking them together.) Lou was achieving nothing for Laure's company by going out with Aya, cause Aya was going out with Lou for Laure's favor in the first place.

I really hope author shows Lou "competence" more in the next chapters, even if offscreen, because rn her failing streak only got longer in the past while still not being ended in the present.

Given how Laure said the Lacroix name is a curse rather than a blessing, does help recontextualize a few things.(either the curse is a real magical curse, which is possible, but could also be a metaphorical curse created through generations of the Lacroix family being at the top of the top. Such high standards made it IMPOSSIBLE to deviate from being the next Top Kalosian Fashion Model. And trying to deviate from that caused others to scorn you and turn your back on you.)
As we saw in previous flashbacks, Lou went through a self-destructive spiral, where she lost her Pokémon, and if not for Annabelle's intervention, would've led to a 'bad timeline' so to speak. Brought about trying to avoid adhering to the rigid, nigh impossible standards the family has.

Might be misremembering stuff, it's been a while since I've read the full thing. Correct me if there's details I got wrong or am missing.
