Added DiffLines:

* BlackComedy: The whole series is an exercise in showing just what a chaotic and hellish existence living in an actual monster infested world would be by taking all the dangerous powers pokemon have to their [[MeaningfulName literal]] horrifying conclusion. Naturally, because this is a pokemon spoof nearly all of the various deadly and wicked little creatures featured are either cute as a button or harmless and nonthreatening-looking until they show their darker side. Even the saddest scenes often have a tinge of pitch black humor underlining them to keep the series from becoming too depressing and people/pokemon being horribly maimed and killed are almost always played for grim laughs.
* BlessedWithSuck: Not all of the cool abilities and powers pokemon have are practical or even desirable when applied to real world logic. Take Slurpuff's [[SuperSenses super sense of smell]] for example, which backfires horribly when a sentient trashbag walks by with a fragrance so bad the poor mon [[DrivenToSuicide immediately blows its own brains out]] to escape the horrid smell.

* NumberedSequels: Earlier entries in the series were given more unique titles such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evJRGjL1-38&ab_channel=Dorkly If PokeDex Entries Were Real]] (Volume 1), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waKgonBRsZ0&ab_channel=Dorkly If PokeDex Entries Were EVEN MORE Literal]] (Volume 2), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr0tSDx9RCQ&ab_channel=Dorkly If PokeDex Entries Were SUPER Literal]] (Volume 3), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYtluNrykvg&ab_channel=Dorkly If PokeDex Entries Were EXTREMELY Literal]] (Volume 4) and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poNX3JnSdDs&ab_channel=Dorkly If PokeDex Entires Were THE MOST LITERAL EVER]] (Volume 5). After a dozen or so of these the names were all changed to the much more simple "If [=PokeDex=] Entries Were Literal (Volume X)" format going forward. (Except Volume 52 which was known as If [=PokeDex=] Entries Were Literal (Volume ???) instead.)
