** Some Sync Pairs with unevolved Pokémon don't have the option of evolving their Pokémon at all, in contrast to main-series games. Due to how the unfair system works, it can come as annoying to many.

* EnjoyTheStorySkipTheGame: The game's combat system is generally considered a step down from the normal battles in the franchise, but fans love the funny dialogue and all the new characterization for old characters.

** The opponents' Sync Moves can be considered ThatOneAttack as well. If they start theirs before you can perform yours, then your ''entire'' team of three Pokémon get attacked at once while your Sync Moves do only certain damage to one single Pokémon.

And if you're underleveled, there is a huge chance you get a TotalPartyKill immediately.

* ThatOneBoss:
** As for the Main Story, Skyla in Chapter 5 can be a hair-puller if you don't have unlocked access to Level Cap Increase feature. Her Sync Move can possibly OneHitKill your Pokémon, and may also result in TotalPartyKill if you're unlucky. The side trainers are even worse as, because they can respawn once like the previous boss fights, they make the battles more annoying.
** Cheren's Stoutland in Chapter 18 is even worse. Anyone try to attack him will discover that, even borrowing Korrina's Lucario will never drain his HP down substantially.

** The first battle where Rosa, Cynthia, Brock, and Misty say to some antagonistic trainers that you can't force other trainers to fight if they don't want to has hilariously stirred up some bitter fans for the apparent GameplayAndStorySegregation that has caused them to whiteout whenever they were forced into a battle while low on health.

* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: Go into any co-op battle and you'll more than likely see Olivia and Lycanroc. Because co-op battles favor LightningBruisers, Lycanroc is often the go-to Pokemon thanks to its powerful Stone Edge attack combined with support skills that raise its attack, critical hit rate, and accuracy and a passive skill that raises its speed every time it lands a critical hit.

** Rosa's "thinking" pose became a popular subject of fanart online, with varying interpretations depicting her as confused, insightful, or mimicking the "Hit or Miss" [=TikTok=] meme. Became an AscendedMeme in the game itself.

Kris saying that she's cute also makes her extraordinarily happy, to the point that she stops crying over the battle she just lost.

Ascended Meme isn't a YMMV, and goes on the main page.


* AscendedMeme: Rosa became associated with the [=TikTok=] meme "Hit or Miss" due to her "thinking" pose resembling the pose the cosplayer in the video made. In the game itself, Rosa says the following:
-->'''Rosa''': "In a sync battle, your Pokémon's attacks can usually either hit or miss, but I guess some attacks never miss, huh?"

Even the [[HeroicMime previously blank-slate protagonists]] get this, since [[DivergentCharacterEvolution they're given personalities of their own]] (Sans [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Red]]).

** In the Chinese community, Whitney has birthed a couple, but the most notable [[https://twitter.com/JynxClub/status/1167033961677127680 is that her question about if the player is concerned with her Miltank]] can be misunderstood as her asking if they're concerned about her boobs to anyone who doesn't know what a Miltank is.

** Similarly to ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', the game's inclusion of many, ''many'' important characters from throughout the ''Pokémon'' franchise's history has led to a number of "EVERYONE IS HERE!" jokes popping up. Likewise, the game is also the subject of quite a few [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar "most ambitious crossover in history"]] jokes.
** A shot of Rosa and Hilda standing side-by-side blew up online due to Hilda appearing to be significantly shorter. Much of these jokes revolve around Hilda being TheNapoleon, especially around Rosa. Sometimes, these jokes are depicted as an extension of the long-running joke about Hilda having ACupAngst when with the much-bustier Rosa.
