Here is a more detailed explanation of what gerrymandering is. The “salamander” shaped district (which the term was partly named after) looks more like a vulture to me, but gerryvulturing doesn’t sound as cool, I guess. Also, I don’t particularly know where I was going with this daily flash; all I knew is that I wanted to make another one of those video game battle scene things, because those are cool.
Congratulations, that’s one of the biggest laughs I’ve had from your Flash animations. Gave me high school flashbacks (or possibly junior high; I can’t remember when I learned the term).
I can only wonder if this presentation would make the term stick in the minds of kids who otherwise wouldn’t pay attention.
Sometimes I wonder if KirbyM sometimes clicks on the “Random article” button in Wikipedia in order to come up with a flash idea.
The next flash could be about the Landtag of Baden-Württemberg or the Kuehneosauridae.
@Suikama: Last time I played a Pokemon game, the Pokeballs didn’t have buttons! ( `・ω・´)σ
Haha, nice. I love the way you advanced through the frames at a normal speed rather than slowly, to allow those of us who were half-asleep to notice more funniness when watching it for a second time. xD
@Masked Man: Move Election Ball for great justice!
*Some years in the future*
Aya: What’s the secret for your incredible success, Mr. Arlekin?
Arlekin: That, my dear Aya, as you say, it’s a secret
Marisa: No way, that’s impossible!
*Arlekin remembers the day he learned about gerrymandering at walfas and shed manly tears*
My life has changed thanks to you, noble KirbyM, THX
@UP: Ha! Despite my knowledge that down+b is a superstition, I’m still very guilty of doing it in every Pokemon game I play to this day. Lately I’ve been timing myself to blink every time the ball shakes, too. I swear it works!
I guess it at least makes me feel like I’m doing something to further my chances of success than just staring and biting my nails in despair.
You forgot the button on the Pokeball
@Suikama: It was facing the other way.
You forgot ‘FIRST’
Election Ball go!
Gerrymander Gerrymanders!
Successfully rigged the elections!!
Brilliant flash is brilliant!!

I instinctly pressed down back B when the Election Ball was thrown…
Yeah I’m not proud of it especially seeing it didn’t actually do anything in the games and was just a rumor.
Ah, the good ol’ pokemon… none of this recent crap. The classic three: Ivyleaguer, Gerrymander, and Waterboarder.
i want a Land pokeman D8!
@deslar`ris: Waterboarder used SURF!
It’s not very effective…
Damn! Eleven characters won’t fit… I guess I’ll have to call it Garymander and hope that it’s not too Farfetch’d.
…That was lame.

“Successfully rigged the elections!”
Oh so true.
Great flash. Will go down as one of my favourites.
Lmao!
I love Gerrymandering…
You would think that people would notice after long enough that there was a reason that districts were being shaped so strangely…
I always thought that “Published by KirbyMon” was just a missing space of “Published by KirbyM on”.
Now, the truth is known to me.
LAND evolved into PRIME REAL ESTATE!
Also, I made a Scarlet Weather Archive 4koma.
Hahahah!! Excellent!!!
Magnitude 8!

On top of that, that was an Electionball.
Patiently awaiting Florida Pokemon.
Make me admin for Keepy Alivey
YOU FORGOT TO HOLD B + DOWN!
GERRY WAS HERE
ASH IS A LOSER
Also I would totally play a Pokemon Walfas Version. Totally.

Wow, this is incredibly awesome and informative!

All your votes are belong to us.
This flash was rainbow-coloured AWESOME.
@tre: Wild KISUME appeared!
Also lol Ice Cube x 9.
Yeah! Battle scenes are cool! XD
(Though I probably wouldn’t get the reference if it wasn’t pokémon).
Those pokemon references never get old.

Man, that’s isn’t fair, the land wasn’t able even to move XD
