* When it comes to certain Pokémon that resemble certain types, do not get their types wrong. For example, Charizard and Gyarados are not Dragon-type Pokémon [[note]]outside of Mega Charizard X[[/note]], Psyduck and Golduck are not Psychic-type Pokémon, Lugia is not Water-type [[note]]For some reason, the HGSS era of the ''TabletopGame/PokemonTradingCardGame'' had Lugia be Water-type.[[/note]], Masquerain is not Water-type, either, and Torkoal is not a Rock- or Ground-type [[note]]Not helped by the fact that the TCG in the Gen III era had a Torkoal card that was Fighting-type (meant to represent Rock or Ground).[[/note]].

Added DiffLines:

* When talking about Mewtwo's [[GameBreaker gameplay prowess]] from ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'', it's referred to as RBY Mewtwo, not Gen I Mewtwo. Same goes for any other Pokémon's viability from those games.

* Do ''not'' confuse or equate it with any other MonsSeries, '''especially''' ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}''. Just don't. This potentially applies not just for Pokemon fans, but fans of the franchise you are comparing it to. There are many differences between MonsSeries, and it is not even a concept Pokemon was the first to use.

* Regarding [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue the original games]], do ''not'' say with a straight face that Lickitung evolves into [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Luigi]] when fed a RareCandy while holding the UsefulNotes/GameBoy upside-down. The source is an old article published by Nintendo of America that was written as an April Fools' joke, and therefore is not meant to be taken seriously. Similarly, there is no way to evolve Dragonite into [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld Yoshi]]; that was also an April Fools' joke published by ''Expert Gamer'', which was unaffiliated with Creator/GameFreak or Creator/{{Nintendo}}.

* Saying that ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' is edgy or needlessly dark (especially by talking about the Koga's Arbok scene) won't go well, since they generally want others to know that the Arbok scene isn't representative of the entire series.

Redundancy.


** [[HilariousInHindsight Amusingly]], ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' replaces the Elite Four with the anime's League Conference under the name "Champion's Cup". Double irony is that this is after [[spoiler:Ash won his first Pokémon League Conference]] and Galar is the first region where Ash will not be staying for the majority of the 2019 series, which instead favors a world tour across all the regions.
