- Americans Hate Tingle: The manga isn't very popular outside Japan, due to its differences from the other continuities, strange style and oddball humor.
- Hilarious in Hindsight:
- Clefairy and Pikachu are both male and cousins, before either element were put in the games (though Pokemon were referred to as male in the international versions of the games). Could be an Early-Bird Cameo but considering the timing these elements were probably not in development.
- A goofy, Hot-Blooded Red counterpart who goes around multiple regions with his Pikachu? Sounds a lot like Ash.
- Kosaku Anakubo was creating "Fakémon" long before the fans were!
- As of Pokémon X and Y, your in game Pokémon can finally revert to its previous form. Enter the Mega Evolution.
- Clefairy's Adaptational Badassery in this manga becomes this when the entire species was retconned into a Fairy-type Pokémon (which was a very strong type in the series when it was introduced).
- Spiritual Adaptation: This manga's use of Vulgar Humor and Toilet Humor along with the fact that Pokémon can talk here makes it seem like a stealth adaptation of Digimon (which it predates) more than anything.
- Values Dissonance: The humor is common in Japanese kodomomuke manga but comes off as What Do You Mean, It's for Kids? in many other countries, complete with clear shots of Red's and Clefairy's genitalia.
