** As of 0.8, Sirracotta is an ''extremely'' common team member for a variety of reasons. This includes its early availability as a Porceling, being a Ground/Flying-type with a JackOfAllTrades statline, and having a [[RuleOfCool frankly badass design]]. As of this writing, it's currently the third-most used Pokémon in the game, beaten out by only {{Starter Mon}}s Okamikaze and Nanaturuk. In fact, in terms of usage it manages to beat out the third starter Pokémon, Scorchoppr.

** Brigadoom is also a very common team member in both 0.6 and 0.8 due to its early availability as a Hoplaque from the Odd Egg (complete with a good chance to be [[EverythingsBetterWithSparkles shiny]]), strong Ghost/Dragon typing, and, upon evolution, incredible MasterOfAll stats and access to the devastating combination of Dragon Dance, Shadow Bone, and Outrage, among other colorful move options.



** Hornampa was often derisively referred as "shitbird" thanks to a mix of its UnfortunateCharacterDesign and it being a MasterOfNone despite its strong Ground/Flying typing. Its 0.8 replacement, Sirracotta, was welcomed with open arms due to being a badass [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot terracotta dragon slaying owl knight]] and for having stronger stats.

** The ''Quarantine Crystal'' fandom has an odd VitriolicBestBuds relationship with ''VideoGame/PokemonFoolsGold'' fans, as comparisons between the two have sparked discussions on the use of Fakemon designs in ROM hacks and quality-of-life. Still, the differences in documentation and the aforementioned quality-of-life features have been sore spots for both fans.

* FandomRivalry:
** ''Quarantine Crystal'' fans ''loathe'' ''VideoGame/PokemonRadicalRed'' and its fans due to its emphasis on competitive strategies and bloated feature list. Conversely, ''Radical Red'' fans aren't huge on ''Quarantine Crystal'' due to the game's deliberate lack of documentation. This also goes for the difficulty hacks ''Radical Red'' inspired, like '' Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White 2 Redux''.

** Snokage was poorly received by the player base due to being a "fursuit jobmon" and [[NonStandardCharacterDesign sticking out like a sore thumb]] compared to the rest of the roster. It was replaced by the more feral [[KabukiTheatre kabuki]]-inspired Kurobi in 0.8, and was more warmly received than its predecessor.
* ThatOneBoss:
** Bugsy is a WakeUpCallBoss that reminds players they aren't playing any old ''Pokémon'' game. His Sappura has Hidden Power Fire to deter any Tobaccoons that try to cheese the fight, while his Eelkie is quite bulky and has an exceptionally annoying Parafusion set with Lick and Confuse Ray. Meanwhile, his Orgnome can and will shred through teams with Growth and strong [=STABs=], but his ''Buzzling'' of all things takes the cake. It's deceptively bulky thanks to its Eviolite, and can and will abuse the game's RNG with Double Team and Fury Cutter.
** Morty is this for one reason: his Moodswine. Apart from being [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard wicked underleveled]], its Normal- and Ghost-typing leaves it vulnerable only to Dark-type moves, and it has excellent offenses and Speed. Shadow Ball hits anything that doesn't resist it like a truck, while Headbutt also hits hard ''and'' has a good chance to flinch. Of course, if you happen to have a Pilfoard or a Dismaiden (both of whom resist both of its [=STABs=]), all Morty can do is hope for repeated Headbutt flinches.
** Koga has a number of strong, bulky status abusers, making fighting him a slog. His Yuggromi is especially annoying thanks to its typing leaving it only weak to Ground and its access to [[ThatOneAttack Spore]]. He also tends to pull out his Baafomet, a strong physical sweeper, late into the match, letting it pick off your crippled team.
** Karen. Her Mothomen hits hard and loves spamming Double Team, while her Yagagarasu is a strong MightyGlacier that carries Bright Powder as a middle finger to the player. And then there's her Shamsel, which hits hard and has strong anti-ground coverage in Liquidation.
** The game's {{Superboss}} is this ''in spades''. [[spoiler: [[Manga/{{Yotsuba}} Yotsuba]] will use every aspect of the RandomNumberGod against the player, be it with confusion via Confuse Ray and Dynamic Punch, evasion boosts, or paralysis with Grimneedle. Not to mention how obscenely bulky and annoying her Virues is.]]
* UnfortunateCharacterDesign:
** The Furnit line was often referred to as "shitbirds", as their muddy armor looked like they were coated in fecal matter. This was part of the reason they were reworked into the Porceling line in 0.8; while Porceling still has a muddy shell, the rest of the line has sun-baked shells that resemble a knight's armor.
** More like Unfortunate Title Screen Design, but the updated title screen for 0.8 has been noted to somewhat resemble the infamous Goatse image by some.
