I question the credibility! D:
The Mankey is at 23/25 health immediately after being sent out.
If shes early in the game, I highly doubt she caught a Mankey with a Pokeball after only doing 2 damage to the Mankey.
If shes farther in the game, it is feasible she hit it with a lower level pokemon, and caught it with an ultra ball or something, and proceeded to train it on pokemon around it's level.
All in all; I doubt this situation could easily play out, unless you follow the latter option, but even then, if you were farther in the game, you would either use EXP Share, or bait and switch.
Still, the comic served its purpose, and I loved it, along with all the edits.
A question: how many dad comics are there, and does anyone have links to all of them?
I like how you consider all of those things together, yet completely ignore the fact that you can't catch a Level 8 Mankey in any game (earliest is Level 9, for Pokemon Yellow), and that out of those four moves Mankey can only learn Leer. In fact, excluding egg moves and TMs, it can only learn a fourth non-damaging move at Level 33!
Also, there's a 29% chance of being able to catch a Mankey with 92% HP remaining, no status effects, with a single PokeBall.
I KNOW MY STUFF!
