* TheInverseLawOfFandomLevity: The franchise is overall lighthearted and family-friendly, set in colorful worlds where you can collect cutesy creatures and take care of them. But at the same time, the fanbase is famous for making various [[DarkFic/Pokemon Dark Fics]], Creepypastas and discussions on the FridgeHorror of the games.

* FanartAtFirstSight:
** Every time a new Pokemon is announced leading up to the game's release, expect a ''lot'' of fanart and speculation surrounding them within ''hours''. This is most common with starter trios, which are typically among the first Pokemon announced for a new generation; not only will there be lots of fanart of the starters themselves, but fan designs for their evolutions will emerge before their actual evolutions are revealed.
** Likewise for the player characters and Gym Leaders if and when their designs are ever showcased, especially if they're cute girls or women.

Gen VIII onwards removed Constrict.


** Constrict has the lowest base power of all moves, at just 10. Its secondary effect isn't that impressive either: it has a ridiculously low chance of reducing the target's Speed.

** Constrict has the lowest base power of all moves, at just 10. Its secondary effect isn't that impressive either: it has a ridiculously low chance of reducing the target's Speed. Gen VIII onwards removed this move since it's rendered pointless by similar moves that have better effects or power.

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: All of the {{updated rerelease}}s and [[VideoGameRemake remakes]] (and to a lesser extent, the first titles in any given generation) have run into a certain amount of these complaints. Generally the series as a whole has gotten this over remaining the same at its core.

** For some, it can grow tiresome to see the same select group of Pokémon return in later generation Regional Pokédexs while other Pokémon aren't so lucky that they end up only ever appearing in the one generation they were introduced in. This is especially the case with Kanto Pokémon where many later generations tend to bring back the four trade-evolutions (Abra, Gastly, Geodude, Machop), several cave encounters (Onix and Zubat), and several water encounters (Goldeen, Magikarp, and Tentacool) in some capacity. Pikachu is this as well, though to a much smaller extent since being the SeriesMascot, everyone just accepts that it will always be back.

While YMMV items can't be played with, it's still noteworthy to point these cases out as exceptions, so I'll simply reword the sentence.


** The identity of the champion in all of the games. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with Alder in ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'' and Leon in ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'', who are outright stated to be champion when they are first introduced instead of just before the player battles them.

* {{Jossed}}: On Pokémon Day 2024, online fans were expecting that the next main game announcement would be either set in Unova or Johto, based on ''Scarlet/Violet'' DLC ties to the former, and hints by a well known leaker for the latter. No one could have predicted that the next game would a ''Legends'' game set in Kalos, specifically Lumoise City. Or that it wouldn't even come till 2025, making 2024 the first year without a major Pokémon title release.

*** Generation VIII has completely removed Mega Evolution and Z-Moves which has upset a lot of fans. There is also the complete removal of some Pokémon and replacing the third game with expansion packs, which has divided many fans.
