Added DiffLines:

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Giving the nickname "[[UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic COVID-19]]" to a Volcarona might not be seen as particularly funny. Trading that Voclarona to Yancy, the ImpliedLoveInterest of the protagonist, just to be able to say that BOH LE canonically gave her COVID-19, on the other hand, is so awfully wrong that it loops back around to being hilarious.

* FanNickname:
** [=ghycICEIV=] the Cinccino was often referred to as "Gunccino" due to its propensity to use multi-strike moves, most notably Bullet Seed, leading to jokes about it being a "chinchilla with a gun". Less commonly, some people also referred to it as "Ice" or "Ice the Fourth".
** BOH LE's rival [=HughAXX=] was almost immediately nicknamed "Huge Axe" by players, which later came to contrast guns being seen as the former's weapons of choice.

* ImprovedSecondAttempt: Having two Generation V runs back-to-back to take advantage of the Memory Link feature was attempted back in Season 8 with ''[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonRandomizedBlack2 Randomized Black 2]]'', which at the time turned out to be a highly divisive decision and contributed to the run going extremely poorly. By contrast, not only did ''Inverse White 2'' not suffer from debuting during a time of high controversy[[note]]''Randomized Black'' and ''Radnomized Black 2'' coincided with a period of time during which certain moderators and developers of the stream were the subject of severe accusations of inappropriate behaviour, which staff handled in a way that was deemed very unsatisfying by many; this, somewhat understandably, resulted in a notably toxic atmosphere within the community[[/note]], but it was also announced in advance at the same time as ''Inverse White'', and a short one-day break separated the two runs; this had the benefit of not having the second run come as an unpleasant surprise for those more interested in ''PBR'' than in runs, while also leaving players with some time to breathe between the two games, and despite some eventual EndingFatigue during its last stretch, the result was a much better-received run overall.

* MemeticBadass: Cinccino was already regarded as quite a strong member of the team, thanks to its Normal-typing being very good in Inverse and its Skill Link ability giving all three of its multi-strike moves an effective base power of 125 with no significant drawback, with Bullet Seed in particular leading to jokes about it using a machine gun. But what really pushed it into Memetic Badass territory was how it [[CurbStompBattle single-handedly took down all six of Iris' Pokémon without taking any damage]], effortlessly earning BOH LE the title of Champion on her very first attempt. And ''then'', to push it even further, it managed to defeat ''the entire Pokémon League by itself'', with BOH LE subsequently becoming the first ''TPP'' Host to enter the Hall of Fame with only ''one'' Pokémon on her team without resorting to healing, glitches, or debug menus.

* MemeticMutation: Chinchilla with a gun[[labelnote:Explanation]]Cinccino knew three multi-strike moves, including Bullet Seed, which thanks to its Skill Link ability would always hit five times when used. This turned it into a surprising powerhouse, and led to many jokes about how it was actually wielding a machine gun.[[/labelnote]]

* UnexpectedCharacter: Out of all the characters appearing as PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo, it's fair to say that the one ''nobody'' could have seen coming was ZZZZZZZ from ''[=PokéSus2=]'', a joke hack themed around the "AMOGUS" meme from VideoGame/AmongUs that only served as a minor three day-long intermission between ''PBR'' and ''Snakewood DX''. Adding to [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment the weirdness of the moment]], it also stood out by using the Pokéstar UFO prop as his Trainer sprite, and the Pokéstar filming theme as his battle music.
