---> "Because yeah, the sword wasn't working, so ''clearly'', I'm supposed to use the sword!"

* OneSteveLimit: Hilariously [[InvertedTrope inverted]] in his randomized, one controller simultaneous playthrough of ''Pokémon Emerald'' and ''Pokémon Sapphire'', where about half of the NPCs wind up being named Florentino. Eventually, Pikasprey gets called on the PokéNav while trying to hatch an egg next to the Weather Institute:
-->'''PokéNav:''' Hi! Asprey, hello! This is Florentino!

* ShaggyDogStory: In his Smeargle playthrough of ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Pokémon Crystal]]'', he spends an entire minute deciding whether to sketch [[AlwaysAccurateAttack Swift]] from an Espeon. Once he's made up his mind, said Pokémon proceeds to render the point moot by [[spoiler:using [[ActionInitiative Quick Attack]], causing him to sketch that move instead]].

** The "How to Become a Sonic Fan" video is a mockery of the ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' fandom.

* {{Catchphrase}}: Starts his videos with "Hello, internet users."

* SigningOffCatchPhrase: "My name is Pikasprey, and thanks for watching".

The games he features fit into a wide range, being anything from ''VideoGame/{{Pokemon}}'' and ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'', to more obscure games like ''VideoGame/ConfessMyLove'', to fan games, ROM hacks, and parodies; The basic criteria is, if it'll be weird or challenging, he'll play it. This sometimes include setting his own challenges to push the limits of the game, exploiting glitches, or playing whatever his audience requests.

* BatmanGrabsAGun: Generally, in his Pokémon playthroughs, he strictly adheres to a personal rule against using items in battle. In his Smeargle playthrough of ''Pokémon [=FireRed=]'', however, while trying to get a Gastly to use Night Shade so he could sketch it, he got hit with Hypnosis, and his patience had been drained so much by that point that he gave in and used an Awakening.

** Another similar [=FireRed=] video involves getting stuck on a mandatory Bug Catcher battle in Viridian Forest with nothing but a Level 100 Weezing who can only use Explosion. Because the level is so high and the player has no badges, the Weezing ''could'' refuse to obey the player for long enough that the enemy Weedle runs out of PP and is forced to use Struggle. But the odds are against this happening 75 times in a row, and would take long enough that the player might as well restart the game.

** Revisited with his Graveler soft-lock for ''Pokémon [=FireRed=]'' [[note]]where the player is stuck with a Graveler that can only use status moves before blowing itself up, preventing them from winning against a Rocket Grunt in Mt. Moon[[/note]]. The only way to get past the Rocket Grunt in the way is to cause his Pokémon to faint themselves with Struggle usage, which can only happen if Graveler spends enough turns without using up PP and causing itself to use Selfdestruct or Explosion. Pikasprey notes this is technically possible by paralyzing Graveler with the help of wild Paras using Stun Spore, and hoping that Graveler loses enough turns due to paralysis... but the sheer number of turns Graveler has to skip means that this is very unlikely to occur.
