* PlayerPunch: In Episode 17, if you didn't [[spoiler:fight [[TokenGoodTeammate Taka]] in the Water Treatment Plant]], then [[spoiler:Taka]] follows you into the desert in an attempt to escape from Team Meteor. [[HopeSpot It seems to work for a little bit]], with him discovering a settlement in the desert where he can lie low... only for [[spoiler:Lin to suddenly kidnap him and [[SacrificialLion trick Titania into killing him.]]]] Even worse, you actually get to spend most of the Episode with him until this happens, and he gets tons of CharacterDevelopment that wouldn't have happened otherwise. [[spoiler:And the ForWantOfANail from this that leads to Amaria trying to kill you and later herself (though likely not since her badge hasn't been invalidated as Corey's and Kiki's were) after hitting the DespairEventHorizon just makes it even worse]].

** Fern. Fern is pretty obviously supposed to be a Gary Oak stand-in but with a much more realistic InferioritySuperiorityComplex; the problem is that his dialog is structured more like a traditional recurring Pokemon NPC, letting wins against him slide off of him instead of...say...getting more and more frustrated and obsessed with beating the player over the course of their encounters, becoming increasingly desperate to retain/regain his status as "top dog".
