* VomitIndiscretionShot: At the beginning of ''Lavender Town: The Untold Story'', Bulbasaur is [[GreenAroundTheGills feeling carsick]]. He later on lets it all out once a Simipour offers water from his own mouth as a drink.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: ''Ditto Disaster'' seems a ''lot'' off-putting and out-of-place when compared to episodes such as ''Rare Candy'' and ''Wild Oranberries''.

* LighterAndSofter: Because of new [=YouTube=] rules, ''Wild Oranberries'' is tamer compared to the other episodes in the series. Notably, the main trio don't suffer a major injury in that episode... [[spoiler: but Scorbunny does.]]

* PrecisionFStrike:

** In the pilot episode, [[spoiler: Mr. Lugia is ''bisected by the ditto monster and eaten by it.'' Despite this, he reappears in ''Out in the Reign'', with a giant stitch through his chest. In the same episode he is tortured into being an EmptyShell in {{Hell}}. Yet again, he reappears in ''Typomaniac'' perfectly fine, save for the same stitch.]]

** [[spoiler: Bulbasaur suffers horrific injuries]] in ''Lavender Town: The Untold Story''. First, [[spoiler: he gets cuts on his body as a result of jumping out of a window. Secondly, he gains bruises and ''a black eye'' during the infamous car scene. By the time he and his two Fire-type friends are rescued, Bulbasaur is now bandaged. In all of his subsequent appearances, he is not bandaged nor bruised anymore.]]

* WhatADrag: In ''A Christmas Thing''/the early version of ''Ditto Disaster'', in order to get [[spoiler: the frozen Tepig in the basement, Bulbasaur drags him across the floor with visible blood coming out.]]

** The main trio have all had their own little set of episodes:

* ADayInTheLimeLight: ''Typomaniac'' and ''Rare Candy'' focuses on background characters from other episodes, such as Chespin, Fennekin, and Mudkip.

* VomitIndescretionShot: At the beginning of ''Lavender Town: The Untold Story'', Bulbasaur is feeling carsick. He later on lets it all out once a Simipour offers water from his own mouth as a drink.

* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: [[spoiler: Tepig appears to get his ''head crushed in'' by a tree in ''Out In The Reign'', but he lives. {{Subverted}}, as his dad wished him back to life.]]

** [[spoiler: Bulbasaur goes through many horrific injuries]] in ''Lavender Town: The Untold Story''. First, [[spoiler: he gets cuts on his body as a result of jumping out of a window. Secondly, he gains bruises and ''a black eye'' during the infamous car scene. By the time he and his two Fire-type friends are rescued, Bulbasaur is now bandaged. In his subsequent appearances, he is not bruised anymore.]]
** [[spoiler: Chespin gets his nose cut open by Sylveon]] in ''Rare Candy''. [[spoiler: Chespin is later on seen with a stitch on his nose as a result. In ''Wild Oranberries'' and ''Dr. Sylveon Discord Gaming'', Chespin does ''not'' have the stitch on his nose.]]

* UnexplainedRecovery: In the pilot episode, [[spoiler: Mr. Lugia is ''bisected by the ditto monster and eaten by it.'' Despite this, he reappears in ''Out in the Reign'', with a giant stitch through his chest. In the same episode he is tortured into being an EmptyShell in {{Hell}}. Yet again, he reappears in ''Typomaniac'' perfectly fine, save for the same stitch.]]

* FreakyFridayFlip: Happens with both of the Pikachus after they accidentally wear eachothers' hats in the ''Detective Pikachu'' episode.

* TownWithADarkSecret: [[spoiler: Lavender Town is filled with Pokemon who roam around, and there is a fully functional amusement park, but the amusement park is abandoned, and the Pokemon you see (except for the kids and Hypno) are actually dead, and they need to sacrifice anyone there every fort night.]]

* LighterAndSofter: Because of new [=YouTube=] rules, ''Wild Oranberries'' is tamer compared to the other episodes in the series. Notably, the main trio don't suffer a major injury in that episode.

* WithFriendsLikeThese: PlayedForLaughs. As shown in a few scenes in "Out In The Reign", Bulbasaur and Cyndaquil seem to be best friends. However, in the DenserAndWackier "[[LooseCanon episode]]" ''[[https://youtu.be/whu893sH95w?si=NBw6wCOr6NQZKM_u Dr. Sylveon Discord Gaming]]'', after Fennekin dies in-game while the gang are playing ''VideoGame/AmongUs'', Cyndaquil suddenly requests everyone to vote out Bulbasaur because "he's acting like a noob." Bulbasaur tries to prove that he didn't do anything, but it results in him getting laughed at by Tepig. It cuts to Sylveon [[TranquilFury angrily yet silently]] watching Bulbasaur's in-game avatar get ejected as the Seed Pokémon can only helplessly question why they did it, all the while Cyndaquil just laughs in response.
-->'''Bulbasaur:''' I-- I didn't- I-I didn't- ''[[DramaticStutter I didn't-]]'' I didn't do anything though!

* HypocriticalHumor: Mr. Lugia laughs at Tepig believing in SantaClaus, yet he belives in the '''Tooth Fairy.'''

* BigDamnHeroes: Near the end of ''Ditto Disaster'', [[spoiler: Bulbasaur is being held while all of the other Pokémon are trapped inside the giant Ditto's body. Just when it seems like there's no more hope, Typhlosion, Blaziken, and Zangoose arrive at the last minute, with ThePowerOfRock.]]

* BittersweetEnding: The Lavender Town episode ends with [[spoiler: Nidorina's parents and everyone else's parents truly dead, but Hypno is dead, there's a portal to hell in the middle of nowhere, Cyndaquil, Tepig, and Bulbasaur are probably traumatized forever (especially Bulbasaur), and Nidorina is cursed.]]

** Happens to Cyndaquil in ''Ditto Disaster'' due to the old voice actor moving away.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Charmander, as seen in ''Starters - Season One - Galar Pokédex Edition''. He claims the series was unsuccessful because the main characters were "very unpopular Pokémon", then he proceeds to refer to himself with emphasis.

* BaitAndSwitch:

%%* BewareTheNiceOnes: Fennekin.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Tepig. Despite [[WithFriendsLikeThese repeatedly insulting his friends]] in ''A Christmas Thing'', he still cares for them and their safety, as evident in many episodes.
