* Why, in "Brimstone", is [=MissingNo=] only helping Boyfriend against Gengar? If you check [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/MissingNo. Missingno's Bulbapedia page]] [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer (yes he has one)]], it shows that he's a slow GlassCannon, so it’s likely Gengar [[TakingYouWithMe took MissingNo out with him]].

* Despite being a heavy influence in both ''Fanfic/PokemonStrangledRed'' and ''Glitchy Red'', [=MissingNo=] is absent from "Dissension" and "Isotope", the songs corresponding to the two pastas. However, it makes sense if you think about it. The mod paints [=MissingNo=] more sympathetically than most fanworks, where the glitch is a villainous EldritchAbomination. ''Strangled Red'' and ''Glitchy Red'' both paint [=MissingNo=] As a villain, so they had to keep him out of the songs to keep the mod's portrayal consistent. Of course, ''Glitchy Red'' may suffers of ProtagonistCenteredMorality: the pasta treats Glitchy Red with sympathy because the protagonist is a real life person that was playing the game Glitchy Red inhabited. The mod, on the other hand, treats Glitchy Red as unsympathetic because [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality Boyfriend is the protagonist]], and Glitchy Red trapped Girlfriend in a Game Boy.

** It's just damage-dealing Psychic-Type Attacks. Status-inducing moves, like Hypnosis, still have effect on Dark Type Pokémon. What actually happened was this: Hypnosis can miss in the games, and misses are interpreted in the anime as the opponent dodging, so most likely Girlfriend made an AchievementInIgnorance by figuring out that she can avoid being hypnotized if she remembers to '''''[[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged DOOOOOOOODGE!!!!!]]'''''

* Why does Hypno seem to know who Girlfriend and Daddy Dearest are? Well, given he's a Psychic Type, he obviously has PsychicPowers, making it obvious he used those to learn who Girlfriend and Daddy Dearest are.
** "Bygone Purpose" shows Alexis, Hypno's trainer, was letting Hypno devour her nightmares. And given how Phantom Arcade stated Boyfriend can't live without Girlfriend, Daddy Dearest taking Girlfriend away from him was his worst nightmare. So it's likely Hypno learned about Daddy Dearest when he tried devouring Boyfriend's nightmares. This also crosses with FridgeHorror since, even if Hypno would succeed with devouring Boyfriend's nightmares, if Girlfriend would have succeeded in saving Boyfriend from Hypno, Daddy Dearest would still have been a BoyfriendBlockingDad. As such, Hypno came to the conclusion the only way he could rid Boyfriend of his nightmares was to MercyKill him and Girlfriend.

** [=MissingNo=]'s absence from "Dissension" was done to drive in home that Steven killed Mike entirely on his own accord, with no influence from the glitch whatsoever.

** [=MissingNo=]'s absence from "Dissension" was done to drive in home that Steven killed Mike entirely on his own accord, with no influence from the glitch whatsoever. However, it may be possible Steven still tried to use [=MissingNo=] to revive Miki, and the fact Steven killed Mike entirely on his own accord may be a result of the glitch failing to live up to Steven's expectations. Which brings the question: even if it would have been AllForNothing, [[MurderIsTheBestSolution why didn't Steven think of using Celebi before killing Mike]]? After all, ''Strangled Red'''s sequel establishes Steven as the GreaterScopeVillain of ''Fanfic/PokemonLostSilver''...

** That also explains why Gengar, unlike Muk and White Hand, doesn't use his mechanic against Boyfriend and [=MissingNo=] (White Hand's mechanic is shape-shifting into Girlfriend). That's Gengar being disobedient.

** A DummiedOut animation from "Isotope" has Boyfriend trying to send out a Pokeball, only for Glitchy Red to prevent him from doing so. Given how "Brimstone" establishes Boyfriend managed to catch [=MissingNo=], who's to say that it wasn't the GlitchEntity we all know and love inside that Pokeball?

* Grey's Pokedex entry states that the developers of Shinto's game were too lazy to program Grey, so they shoved a dead kid's soul in the game. Given certain revelations in the ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' proper, you can find implications [[GreaterScopeVillain Daddy Dearest is one of the devs]]...

* [[VideoGame/VsSonicExe Starved]] was supposed to appear in "Pasta Night", but he was scrapped. Given his OneTrackedMindedHunger and how the BadGuyBar where the song takes place is filled with beings Starved would devour, it's fortunate for those pastas that he's been DummiedOut. There may even be an in-universe explanation to his absence: he tried to devour Lord X and Hypno, but was kicked out of the BadGuyBar for it by MX.

* In the joke song "Googar," Buried Alive makes a comment about his Gengar that actually makes a lot of sense when you realize how one gets a Gengar and the implications his situation carries. In the song, he likens them to a bratty toddler, and describes them as the "fucking antichrist." Haunter evolve into Gengar upon trade, and there is an in-game trade for a Haunter in the Japanese version of Pokémon Blue. However, traded Pokémon will disobey you if you don't have enough badges. Furthermore, Buried Alive very visibly [[NakedOnRevival not carrying anything on his person.]] Clearly, [[MemeticMutation he doesn't have enough badges to train his Gengar.]]

something i noticed while listening to brimstone


*** That has been Jossed. [[https://twitter.com/Joel_Masada/status/1583942700260212737 This tweet]] reveals that there was a mechanic where Shinto causes the sprites to get progressively screwed up, and by the end of the song she would start spamming this mechanic until the gameboy itself ends up breaking from sprite overload, killing both her and Grey.

* Boyfriend strangely doesn't seem to be fazed by White Hand transforming into a mutilated facsimile of Girlfriend in "Brimstone"... except listen closer to that part of the song. Boyfriend's notes wobble a few times in places that 'Girlfriend' doesn't share - despite his air of confidence, he can't stop his voice from cracking with emotion.

* WordOfGod has confirmed that [=Hypno's=] BodyHorror appearance in ''Left Unchecked'' and ''Lost Cause'' was due to overexertion on his psychic abilities to make up for Girlfriend's stupidity. Why would such a mundane problem result in such a drastic side effect? Well, there may be another factor into consideration: Consider Girlfriend's status as a demon, which may loosely translate to being dark-type in the Pokemon world. [[NoSell Psychic-type attacks have no effect on dark-type Pokemon]]. No wonder Hypno had to push himself so drastically for his psychic-type hypnosis to have any noticeable effect!

Added DiffLines:

* Small details about the ways MX, Lord X, and Hypno act during "Pasta Night" can be used to indicate their approximate skill levels at Uno, with MX being a professional taking the game seriously, Lord X having average skill and trying to compensate, and Hypno being new and terrible at it.
** In terms of their poses, Hypno's are obvious enough; he spends the entire song with no clue what's going on, puts his cards in clear view of the other two in his right pose, and isn't even using the right cards. MX is more slight with his movement, keeps his cards facing away in his hand at all times, and keeps a confident air throughout the song. Lord X, meanwhile, scrunches his cards way up close to his face to hide them and seems to be subtly trying to cheat by looking towards his opponents' cards and hiding one of his own in his mouth.
** If you interpret their singing as mid-game banter, it can also be used to support this. MX doesn't do quite as much singing as the other two and primarily does so just after someone else has, keeping quiet until he has to respond to something. Lord X is rather basic in singing terms, but notably does spend a chunk of the song parroting what MX is singing, as if trying to mimic the pro to learn his strategy. Hypno, on the other hand, has easily the most singing in the song, including an extensive solo section, showing that he's unable to stop rambling and giving away too much information.

* After Girlfriend finds a hypnotised Boyfriend at the beginning of "Lost Cause", what songs does she sing first to snap him out of it? Why, leitmotifs from the base game, of course, specifically "Pico", "M.I.L.F." and "Dadbattle"! She knew BF would recognise those songs in a heartbeat if he could and would be back to his regular self in a heartbeat. Too bad Hypno showed up before she could finish this.
