* Metagross gets "Light Metal"[[note]]Halves the Pokémon's weight.[[/note]], which is weird considering it uses its weight to hunt. However, as computers (or supercomputers, like Metagross is said to be) are redesigned and upgraded through the years, they become lighter and smaller — compare a big, room-sized 1950s computer to something like a UsefulNotes/{{Mac}}Book Air, which can easily fit in your schoolbag.

** Another nod to the yin-yang concept: Longterm fans are aware that every pair of debut games of each generation have always showcased a red vs blue contrast, starting from, obviously, ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'', and usually it's clear which cover Pokémon is which color[[note]]From Gen I to Gen IX, skipping Gen V: Red has Charizard, Ho-Oh, Groudon, Palkia, Yveltal, Solgaleo, Zamazenta and Koraidon, whereas blue has Blastoise, Lugia, Kyogre, Dialga, Xerneas, Lunala, Zacian and Miraidon[[/note]]. However, fans are divided on Reshiram and Zekrom: Those who say Reshiram is red and Zekrom is blue point out the element on their tails (Reshiram's red fire vs Zekrom's blue electricity), but those who say that Zekrom is red and Reshiram is blue mention their eye colors (Zekrom's eyes are red while Reshiram's are blue). This visual design is perfectly in-line with the yin-yang concept: Reshiram is red with a bit of blue, and Zekrom is blue with a bit of red (or vice versa).

** If we are to ask the 'Manga/PokemonAdventures'' incarnation of Red, he'd say yes. In his first encounter with Blue, Red had Poli stop Blue's Charmander from burning a wild Kangaskhan with a baby because Charmander was hurting the baby Kangaskhan, who was already poisoned. While that's not the games, [[WordOfGod Satoshi Tajiri]] said the world of ''Adventures'' is the closest thing to the world he had in mind when creating Pokémon, so you can accidentally poison the baby Kangaskhan.

* The name Team Plasma... just think about [[ShockAndAwe the types of the two]] [[KillItWithFire legendary dragons]] and you will realize how they got their name.

* The mascots are Dragon / Fire and Dragon / Electric dual types. Team Plasma tries to get one. Plasma is a state of matter that can be formed by FIRE and is typically part of LIGHTNING. So, Team Plasma is basically getting a component of ''itself''.

* N uses a different team each time he's fought. This makes perfect sense when you remember he considered all his Pokemon his close friends. He's letting the Pokémon in the local area help him out, and letting them go home when he leaves the area.

** Even better, the Japanese name of Outrage is '''[[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking Imperial]] [[UnstoppableRage Wrath]]''', referring to the storm of punishment that falls upon anyone wicked and unfortunate enough to earn the ire of their superiors (particularly an emperor or a deity). Landorus using Outrage is essentially [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown hitting his opponent with the full force]] of [[ThisIsUnforgivable a ruler punishing an unforgivable transgression]].
