* AdaptationalJerkass: The rival of the Let’s Go games engages in some taunting of his rival. In the games, he's a FriendlyRival who never antagonizes the player character aside from battling against them.

* AnachronicOrder: The episodes were first aired in the opposite order in which the region they take place in debuted, with Galar, first seen in 2019, being featured in the first episode, and Kanto, which debuted in 1996, in the final. Also, only Pokémon which debuted with the respective region, or before, are featured in thems. At first glance, this seems to invoke the [[BacktoFront Back to Front]] trope, but the order becomes jumbled when you consider the games the episode's plots were inspired by. This is the case in the Hoenn episode, which is inspired by the Delta episode featured in Generation 6, and the Kanto episodes, which centers on characters introduced in Generation 7.

** The Kimono Girls are distinguishable from each other just like the anime. More importantly, like Sakura in the anime, the Espeon user, here using the name Naoko as in the Johto remakes[[note]]In the remakes, the sisters switched names in both languages. Naoko/Koume was originally the name of the Flareon user, while Sayo/Sakura, originally the name of the Espeon user, is now the Jolteon user, was the Espeon user.[[/note]] is implied to be the youngest and initially least confident of her sisters.

* TheVoiceless: Selene doesn't get any dialogue throughout The Eclipse.

''Pokémon Evolutions'' is an 8-episode web animated series based on the ''{{Franchise/Pokemon}}'' series of games, which premiered on September 9, 2021 to celebrate [[MilestoneCelebration 25th anniversary]] of the franchise. Much like ''WebAnimation/PokemonGenerations'' before it, ''Evolutions'' is a TruerToTheText adaptation of key events from each region's game, each connected by [[RecurringCharacter a couple of Pikachus]] travelling across the Pokémon world.

* CrazyPrepared: When May sends out Swampert to fight Rayquaza, it already is Mega Evolved instead of Mega Evolving during the battle. Mind you, she had it ready before arriving at the Sky Pillar.

* AdaptationalJerkass: The rival of the Let’s Go games engages in some taunting of his rival.

* CuttingOffTheBranches:
** Unlike ''Generations'', which either AdaptedOut most of the protagonists or obscured them from sight, in ''Evolutions'' a chosen protagonist of each game prominently appears onscreen, including Victor (Galar), Selene (Alola), Calem (Kalos), Hilda (Unova), Lucas (Sinnoh), May (Hoenn), Ethan (Johto), and Elaine (Kanto).

The episodes set to be featured are:

* MoodWhiplash: The first 7 episodes are fairly serious and provide little to no comic relief. The last one? The humor is half the episode.

** Unlike ''Generations'', which either AdaptedOut most of the protagonists or obscured them from sight, in ''Evolutions'' a chosen protagonist of each game prominently appears onscreen, including Victor (Galar), Selene (Alola), Calem (Kalos), Hilda (Unova), Lucas (Sinnoh) and May (Hoenn).

* RaceLift: In "The Champion," Victor is brown-skinned instead of white-skinned, perhaps as a nod to OLM's [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries other work]] with another brown-skinned protagonist.

* TookAShorcut: In "The Discovery," Elaine showed up last before Green and Trace started racing to find Mewtwo. She somehow manages to beat them both at finding ''and'' catching Mewtwo farther ahead of the two, much to Green's chagrin.

* BaitAndSwitch: In "The Discovery," after Leaf and Trace race to get to Mewtwo, a shadow that resembles Mewtwo shows up from behind Leaf, who doesn't notice it. Later on, it turns out the shadow was from Elaine carrying Pikachu on her head.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: In "The Champion," while the human characters have far sharper features than seen in the [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries anime]] from the same animation studio, the majority of other Pokémon retain the simplistic looks (except for Leon's Charizard). It can be rather strange when the rest of the Pokémon look cartoonish next to the more realistic humans.

** Averted with Elaine, who is she clearly shown and even speaks a few times.
