History YMMV / PokemonScarletAndViolet

* EpilepticTrees: Despite the crocodile-like Fuecoco breaking the fan theory where a respective generation's Fire-type starter is based on an animal from the Chinese Zodiac[[note]]According to the fan theory, the dragon, mouse, rooster, monkey, pig, dog, tiger, and rabbit have been represented so far (in that order), with the snake, sheep, horse, and ox being left[[/note]], some are speculating it could later evolve into a limbless snake or dragon-like Pokémon not unlike Generation V's Serperior.

** Quaxly immediately received comparisons to WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck after its reveal, with many memes having him act violently like Donald Duck or even having him be Donald himself. Others have started comparing it to [[WebAnimation/{{hololive}} Subaru Oozora]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius Hugh Neutron]], due to the characters' memetic associations with ducks.

* TaintedByThePreview: Many fans were surprised about and have expressed weariness towards the prospect of a new mainline Pokémon game being released in the same year as ''VideoGame/PokemonLegendsArceus'' and announced only ''one month'' after its release, with concerns being made towards the game taking attention away from ''Legends: Arceus'' (thus [[TooGoodToLast cutting its life short]] and screwing it out of updates and DLC beyond the "Daybreak" content update) and the game being potentially ChristmasRushed in order to meet its Winter 2022 deadline. Some have called for the game to be moved to 2023 or even 2024 instead and let ''Legends: Arceus'' be in the spotlight for 2022, just to give Creator/GameFreak more time to develop the game.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: In the trailer itself, Seviper's textured model has been praised in particular, giving some optimism for some fans that the graphics will be polished.

* FanNickname: "Weed Cat" for Sprigatito, due to its green color and parts of it resembling a marijuana leave. Some have also called it "Grass Cat" or "Salad".

** There were also jokes about Fuecoco breaking the fan theory where each generation's Fire-type starter is based on an animal from the Chinese Zodiac, as the crocodile, which is what Fuecoco is based off of, is not in the Zodiac. This hasn't stopped people from making their own theories, like the one mentioned above.
** Memes have also been made about Sprigatito about how fans ''beg'' for it to remain quadruped once it fully evolves, as the entire last set of fully evolved starters were all bipedal, and the last feline starter in Litten also became bipedal.
** As soon as the trailer released, people where quick to latch onto the idea that the region is based on Spain, in part thanks to the English names of the starters containing Spanish and Portuguese words and [[FreezeFrameBonus a map of real life Spain and Portugal being featured the trailer]]. As an extension of this, Spanish fans were quick to link the colors featured in the game titles with the color of the Second Spanish Republic flag (red, yellow, and purple), joking that this made Pokémon [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republicanism_in_Spain pro-Republican]], which is a left-wing political movement in Spain.
* {{Moe}}: All three of the new starters are absolutely adorable; Sprigatito is a wide-eyed CuteKitten, Fuecoco is a small, chubby crocodile, and Quaxly is a smiling little duckling!
