* SelfImposedChallenge: There's actually a "Nuzlocke Mode" as an option when you start a new game. The two base rules(Fainted=dead, and only one catch per route) are coded in, so any fainted Pokémon are actually marked as "dead" instead of "faint" and can't be revived by any means, and the game will outright stop you if you try to catch more than one thing per route or skip the first encounter and try to catch a subsequent one. Some of the more common additional rules, such as the Dupe Clause(if an already captured Pokémon is the first encounter, it's ignored) and no healing during battle, can be toggled in the options menu, as well as a unique "Challenge Mode" option--opponent Pokémon teams are between 1-7 levels stronger, but give no additional Exp. Sadly, one thing it currently lacks is a Shiny Clause(capture rules can be ignored if they'd cost you a shiny Pokémon).

* MythologyGag: Your Pokémon Ranger father is named Kellyn, which was the default name of the male protagonist in ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRanger Shadows of Almia]]'' Cameron, Theo's dad, was also the name of a Ranger Leader in the original ''Pokémon Ranger'', but he's far less likely to be the same guy as in the game.



* PapaBear: Cameron shows some shades of this with Theo; when you come fetch Theo after he ran away crying after losing to you, Theo runs upstairs and Cameron immediately demands to know what you did to him with the typical "I swear, if you did anything to hurt him..." threat.

!! This game provides examples of:
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: For once, ''you'' are this to your rival, Theo. You receive the starter with the type advantage, and you manage to stay one step ahead of him with your Gym Badge collection.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Without the official franchise's rating restrictions, the game is free to add a slightly more realistic negativity to its story. Such as making your rival an unpleasant little twerp, giving you a strained relationship with your father, or [[BreadEggsMilkSquick basing the game's conflict around a nuclear explosion that killed your mother.]]
* EveryTenThousandPoints: Unlike the official Pokemon games, Professor Bamb'o will give you actual, material rewards every time you add another ten Pokemon to your Pokedex
* ILoveNuclearPower: Following a catastrophic meltdown at a nuclear power plant ten years prior to the game's start, some Pokemon have been affected by the radiation, making them feral and changing their typing to Nuclear, which is super effective against every type and weak to every type.
* NotQuiteDead: Your father believes this about your mother, Lucille, who apparently died in a massive nuclear meltdown at a power plant. [[spoiler: He's right.]]
* PlayerCharacter: Comes in three flavors: Boy, Girl, and Gender Neutral.
* PlayerPersonalityQuiz: Professor Bamb'o gives you a short, color-coded one to decide your starter.
