* Sometimes talking to your Pokémon makes this dialogue box pop up: “What? [Pokémon] is evolving!” only to then say [[Troll “Nope!”]] immediately after.

--> '''Grunt:''' Cheerio, then! (to Crasher Wake) You daft codger, your mask's absurd!

** This becomes [[ShaggyDogStory even funnier]] when you eventually learn that one of the Elite Four members specializes in [[ElementalRockPaperScissors Ground-type Pokémon]].

* In the remakes, a Pokétch app allows you to call a wild Pokemon to perform a Hidden Move in the overworld without having to resort to your own to do so. Who does it call for every one aside from the Flying-type moves? [[AscendedMeme Bidoof!]]

* In the original games, when comparing a Pokémon's weight with that of your trainer's, weighing a heavy Pokémon would launch your trainer upward and they'd fall back down after a few seconds. In the remakes, they cranked it up a notch with 2D animations of your trainer being launched into the sky. Weighing a Pokémon that's heavy but still under 1.6k lbs. like Dialga will result in the trainer being launched into space and into the bottom of the moon, where their head will get embedded and they'll wiggle their way free before falling back down. Weighing a Pokémon that's over 1.6k like Groudon or Altered Forme Giratina will instead have them shoot through the bottom of the moon and out the top, become ATwinkleInTheSky, and finally crash back to the ground, safe and sound.

** ...Which means that if you bother to catch it, the fridge awesome moment means that the Magikarp ''[[YankTheDogsChain can no longer evolve]]''. (Until Sword and Shield, anyway.)

* In Diamond and Pearl (and the remakes) one of the grunts guarding Lake Acuity says that he’s doing this so [[HumbleGoal he can get a Clefairy]]. You later run into the same grunt in Veilstone City, who complains that because you intervened, his Clefairy was taken back.

* In Diamond and Pearl (and the remakes), Flint of the Elite Four has a Lopunny on his team. While it could've been chosen because of its '''warm''' fur, it's very easy to interpret the reason as him finding it [[StealthPun hot]]. Bonus points if you're also talking about a [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom certain fandom]] infamous for [[PopularWithFurries being attracted to characters like Lopunny]].

* You can sometimes find Rowan in the basement of Veilstone Department Store, who's [[NotSoAboveItAll salty]] about the fact that they've ran out of [[ContinuityNod RageCandyBars]].

* Regigigas in Platinum is a pretty hilarious AntiClimaxBoss thanks to its hilariously [[{{Nerf}} nerfed]] level. Normally, in Diamond and Pearl, this legendary is ''level 70''. In ''Platinum'', however, the legendary is, for whatever reason, '''Level 1''', so the big Daddy of Golems starts with the level of an infant Pokémon. Those who expected an awesome, over-powered Legendary (especially for what you have to go through to even fight it) are truly in for a surprise.

In the remakes, they went straight for silly by having your trainer instead get launched into space, through the bottom of the moon and out the top, before finally becoming ATwinkleInTheSky.

* In ''Platinum'', the Resort Area contains the first (so far one of only two) instance where you can encounter a level 100 wild Pokémon. Under most circumstances, this would prompt an OhCrap from the unsuspecting player who encounters one of these beasts, as a level 100 Pokémon would be hard to run from or defeat without a similarly-leveled Pokémon of their own. That being said, the encounter is actually hilarious if you're lucky enough to get it - because it's a level 100 ''MAGIKARP''!

* A Galactic Grunt in Celestic Town wants to blow the town up because he doesn't think there's anything interesting there. When the player intervenes, the Galactic Grunt "threatens" them with "If you try to mess with me, I'll shut you down with a Pokémon battle." [[{{Narm}} as if that's supposed to be scary]].

* After a Galactic Grunt sets off the Galactic bomb at the Great Marsh, he ends his speech with this:

* In the final Team Galactic event, Looker gives you a tearful good-bye. Cue seeing him in the Veilstone Game Corner with you distracting him, and making him lose his winning streak.

* Outside Amity Park, which only allows "cute" Pokémon inside, an NPC is complaining about discrimination against his Gyarados and Steelix.

* There's a house in one of the routes with nothing but a man and many Pikachu inside (the "Pikachu Fan Club"). He claims he wants to challenge the League with a team consisting entirely of different Pikachu. You're probably seeing ''his entire team'' at that moment. Then you try talking with every Pikachu just because... It turns out one of them is ''actually a Poké Kid in disguise'', a kid trainer who dresses like a Pikachu. Who immediately challenges you, like usual. And guess what her team consists of?

* After learning about Team Galactic's plan in Pastoria City, Barry runs after Crasher Wake to help... [[DistractedByTheShiny and then he sees the Croagunk face cutout...]]

* In Platinum, after defeating Flint and Volkner outside the Battle Frontier, your rival tries to enter, but is interrupted when Palmer comes out of it and bumps your rival back ''three'' spaces.
