** You can get a Delta Munchlax via Mystery Gift right at the start of the game after you get your starter. Delta Munchlax/Snorlax isn't _incredibly_ powerful on its own, but the one you get from the Mystery Gift has all six IVs maxed out, meaning its stats will grow that much faster.

* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler:For all his big talk and control over the region, Jaern ultimately boils down to this; once people see [[GreaterScopeVIllain Nyx]] defeat him and reveal he's a cult leader, his popularity implodes upon itself and he is presumably lynched.

* TakeThat: A large number of [=NPCs=] say various things that poke fun at the main series' logic, mock "out of touch" older folks who criticize the titles, and mock a wide variety of society's idiosyncrasies.

* TakeThatAudience: A lot of the aforementioned "take that" moments seem to be directed toward the competitive scene, which one can infer by the [[NintendoHard game's difficulty]] is the target audience. Most of these spoof bad player etiquette and controversial Smogon tierings.

While you have to purchase all the various functions, there are a number of useful ones such as a level trainer who can scale with the number of Gym badges you possess (and uses self-defeating Audino for easy EXP, albeit one must pay a fee to fight him,) an EV trainer, an EV resetter in case you make a mistake distributing effort values, and a NPC who can (with the use of an IV Stone) max out Initial Values of a Pokemon.

Flygonite used to be this but can now be found in-game.

Torren is a region that has long been rife with several lethal [[ReligionOfEvil cults]].

Still, hope yet resides in Torren's beloved protector, the [[TheHero Augur]], who is the only one able to keep the cults at bay.
