* OutsideContextVillain: [[spoiler:Meta-example: ''Pokemon Rumble Blast'' is the first game in the Pokemon series - counting both the games and the anime - to have neither a Pokemon nor a Human as the BigBad, but instead a geniune monster called the "Dark Rust". Granted it's of the GenericDoomsdayVillain variety, but it's still something the series has never seen before.]]

* BossInMookClothing: Kricketot, oh god, Kricketot. It uses Bide, which gives it a status effect where any damage you deal to it is automatically dealt back to you. Using a powerful attack usually does about 800-1200 damage to the little critter. The average HP of a Pokémon in this game is 600-800. Long story short, if you attack Kricketot while Bide is in effect, you ''WILL'' die.

** 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.

* RedemptionDemotion: Zig-zagged. Certainly, if you successfully recruit a boss, it'll have fewer hit points than when you fought it. And regardless of what move it was using when you fought it, a befriended 'mon may have pitiful moves like Pound instead of whatever cool move they had been using against you. Alternately, recruited mooks will have more health on your team, and there's the possibility of suddenly learning a pair of extremely powerful moves upon recruitment.
