* BrokenAesop: The typical Pokémon moral is that you should love and take care of your Pokémon, not just abandoning Mons once they're weak and trading up for stronger Mons. Rumble pretty much requires you to abandon your weaker Mons and trade up for stronger Mons in order to pass, treating your Pokémon as tools.

** On that note, many moves that are otherwise powerful and/or have good range are held back by their long charge times. Charging moves from the main games like Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, and Solar Beam retain this status from the main series, but other moves like Earthquake and Thunderbolt suffer from this as well. However, this is averted if a Pokémon with such moves has the Snappy trait, which speeds up move usage significantly.

** In Rumble U, when you get to the final segment of the story. The first Boss of this segment has a recommended power of 1700+. By this point, your strongest normally is around 1550-1650. Even after you beat the Final Boss, the Bonus areas are an even bigger difficulty spike, one of which demands a staggering 2100+ power. The Pokémon received during the final battle are only 1900-2000 at most. Have Fun.
** In Rumble World, the King Challenges get harder every time you complete them. To elaborate, you must have Toy Pokémon at the certain Power Level in order to perform well in the challenges (For example, the "Royal Quarterfinals" challenge requires you to have Toy Pokémon at 1200~, anything below that Power Level will be a real pain in the neck.)
** Any time you fight a Legendary Pokémon.
** In the sequel: Both EX-5 battles. Especially the Team Battle. Better hope you can scrounge up enough money for World Rank 8 or 9, because that's what it will take to even hope to defeat Reshiram or Zekrom. It is such an intense difficulty spike after EX-4, you'd think it'd be the last level, since the credits will even roll after beating both, but no. Have fun in EX-6.

This leads to frustrating moments where you can't seem to catch a new species that you haven't caught yet but end up catching lots of other ones that you already have. It can be especially gut-wrenching to wobble a boss Pokémon too early and still end up not catching it after winning the battle.

''Pokémon Rumble'' is an ActionAdventure ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' SpinOff series. Unlike most ''Pokémon'' games, in which you directly control or interact with real Pokémon, the world of ''Pokémon Rumble'' is inhabited by ''Toy'' Pokémon, small SuperDeformed-like Pokémon figurines. Much of the series' core gameplay consists of real-time battle similar to that of ''VideoGame/SmashTV'' using a simplistic control scheme, taking command of a party of Toy Pokémon to cut through swaths of hostile Toy Pokémon and challenge their boss at the end of a dungeon. By fighting against Toy Pokémon, you can potentially execute a NonLethalKO on them via "wobbling", which will allow you to befriend other Toy Pokémon and add them to your ranks.
