* As a member of Wigglytuffs' guild, the player must give 90% of what they make to the Guildmaster, and while the game doesn't make it clear whether this money is mostly for the guild itself instead of simply to line the Guildmaster's pockets, one of the ten "rules" for the guild is basically "Don't run away, ever, or we will hunt you down." Extortion much?

* One of the [=NPCs=] in Post Town is a Trubbish who is somewhat self-conscious about his stench, and mentions that the main character doesn't seem to mind the smell compared to most other Pokémon. Considering garbage as a whole seems non-existent in the Pokémon world, they would be far more used to the smell of garbage than any of the other Pokémon.

* When Azuril is trapped in a nightmare, it's mentioned that they can't feed him anything in that state. It's only fitting that the stage that takes place in his nightmare doesn't have any food and your hunger bar drops more quickly - you're suffering the same hunger Azurill is.

* The biggest one is where are all the humans? While it could be argued that they don't exist here, not only are they mentioned but both artificial Pokemon and what looks like remains of human architecture can be found. [[AfterTheEnd Was human civilization destroyed?]]

*** [[spoiler: There's nothing saying that the three world's aren't one. Remember, one of them had to deal with Time Travel, what with distant futures and whatnot. Not to mention that it's also very likely that all of the game's happen on different continents of the planet. So, for all we know, Hydreigon might've actually brought some humans that ''didn't' get sent home.]]

* More sad than horrifying, but you know in Gates To Infinity where the lights [[spoiler: were actually humans being sent back]]? It was bad itself, but considering [[spoiler: Hydreigon mentions to you that people will lose their memories of you when you vanish (doesn't happen), think of all the friendships the other humans made that are now forgotten in time. Or worse, what about the possibility of their companions getting slain or brutalized by Munna's gang. Imagine waking up somewhere and wondering why some mons beat you senseless]].

to:

* The idea that the Pokémon are more bitter than they are in the previous games might seem somewhat arbitrary, but think about it-Post Town doesn't have anything resembling a system of Rescue Teams or an Explorer's Guild, and there was no place for Pokémon to submit requests before your partner started building Paradise. If you got lost, misplaced an item in a dangerous area or otherwise got in over your head, you couldn't count on veterans to bail you out. No wonder most Pokémon felt their efforts didn't matter in the end.

** Except [[spoiler: Hydreigon was talking about the other humans he brought to try and fight the Bittercold. Never mind the games almost certainly take place in different worlds (Rescue team is implied to take place in HumanitysWake due to laboratory ruins, while Explorers' human, as far as we know was native and not from a different world at all, both of which are impossible in the Gates to Infinity world), but Hydreigon specifically mentions having brought the humans to the Pokémon world, when he had no presence in the previous games.]]

* When Team Skull is staying at the Guild before the big expedition, if you look at the seating arrangement in the mess hall when the guild members are eating, the player character and his/her partner have to sit next to Team Skull! While they probably wouldn't intentionally stir up trouble in front of Wigglytuff and Chatot at that point, it would probably make for very tense mealtimes for the partner character especially, who is seated right next to Skuntank. The partner character doesn't necessarily know that Team Skull is playing innocent in front of Wigglytuff, and is probably worried about what Skuntank might do, especially if it involves both of them eating next to each other (considering that the infamous Perfect Apples incident involved stolen food, the partner character might be worried about Skuntank snatching his/her food. This could possibly make the timid partner character even more of a potential woobie.

* I was never sure how Team Skull got their name until now. It's because they're all Poison types, and a skull and crossbones is a common symbol for something being poisonous. Also, that same marking is on Koffing's body, so it could have been named in honor of him as well.
