** While it was mostly memetic, a lot of people anticipated that if Brycen was given an alt, he would receive one in the form of his PokeStar Studios Brycen-Man outfit. Lo and behold, this is exactly what happened in May 2024!

** Considering how her stage is an ''[[SupperBoss Ultimate Battle]]'', Lucy solidfies herself as the memetic loser of the Ultimate Battle stages because her stage is the easiest of the lot and also has the most unique clears (as of May 2024, there are over 100 unique clears with Lucy)

** Although it was rather memetically predicted that PokeStar Studios alts would come to the game, more focus was given on the relatively more memoriable and memeitc Brycen-Man, so it was a shock that Belleba would be coming to the game in May 2024.

*** Lucy's Ultimate Battle Stage has the smallest HP pool, with only around 330,000 HP compared to the other having over half a million on average.
*** The primary thing that makes Lucy so easy is her gimmick - which is to poison her opponents and raise her speed to deliver a powerful sync move. The former of the bunch is now hilariously easy to counter [[note]]Just equip every single pair in the fight with the Antitoxin passive, which prevents the user from being poisoned.[[/note]] while the latter can be more managable via dropping her speed or just tanking the hit and defeating her due to her low HP.

** Basically any character from ''VideoGame/PokemonLetsGoPikachuAndLetsGoEevee'' receives this label since ''Let's Go'' was the mainline game whose characters took the longest time to debut. [[note]]If you don't count the Team Rocket trio and instead list them as being anime characters, snce that's where they're originally from before they were placed in ''Let's Go''.[[/note]] Even characters from ''Scarlet and Violet'' debuted first before any ''Let's Go'' characters debuted beforehand, which was seen especially memetically for Elaine (since she is a female protagonist, which [=DeNA=] is more likely to debut compared to male characters). It took until November 2023 for Elaine to make her debut in ''Masters'' and until Febuary 2024 for Chase to make his debut, which caused the community to meme that [=DeNA=] was not interested in them, and even extended the meme into joking that they were not placed into the game because of concerns that they wouldn't sell well due to the [[BrokenBase divisive nature]] of the ''Let's Go'' games.
** Ash received this label over time due to measures [=DeNA=] had been taking that appeared to [[UnPerson erase Ash off the face of the game]]. Not only has he never rerun since his sole appearance, but his battle theme was removed from the game, and the medals from his event no longer show up in the medal list if you did not obtain them. It is worth noting however, that there is a very real rationale for [=DeNA=] to do so.[[note]]Pokémon as a whole is appearing to retire previous mechanics related to Ash, such as the retconning and removal of Ash-Greninja in Gen IX, likely since he is not the face of the anime anymore. That aside, Ash's status was already dubious, as the desire to use him was likely limited by copyright issues in relations to the Pokémon anime as Jessie, James and Meowth haven't gotten any spotlight events ever since Blasting Off Again!.[[/note]]

* NintendoHard: Getting all the badges in the game requires beating all Legendary Arena opponents on Level 2 using 5 or less teams and Level 3 using 4 or less, as well as beating most of the Battle Villa with no deaths and all of it with no recoveries. These feats are all but impossible without the best luck in the omniverse helping you out (or with an onslaught of [[BlatantLies completely fair and balanced]] [[InfinityMinusOneSword master fairs]])

** Next to Anabel on the difficulty list for Ultimate Battles is Palmer, whom has various gimmicks to make him stand out.
*** [[SuspiciousVideoGameGenerosity Looking at Palmer, at first he doesn't seem so bad, with fewer defensive passives than any other Ultimate Battles]] (and those are mostly standard for such difficult battles, being extended status nullification and immunity to OHKO moves)... untill you take a look at his damage passives, where he has the ability to always land crits regardless of whatever passives the players throw on their sync pairs.
*** The true issue that makes Palmer hard is his other gimmicks. Essentially, Palmer's stage is a damage race to do 550,000 damage with eighteen moves, as if you allow him to get him to sync, his combination of additional sync buffs after syncing, setting up Normal Zone and Move Gauge acceleration, as well as giving massive physical move buffs after every attack post-sync, makes it so that if Palmer syncs, you might as well have lost.

* AssPull: In the Team Plasma Villain Arc, [[spoiler:Ghetsis attempts to fuse his Kyurem with N's captured Zekrom. It looks like the protagonists are unable to stop it from happening, until Hilbert reveals he has a Kyurem of his own that pushes aside Ghetsis's Kyurem and fuses with Zekrom to become Kyurem Black. Said Kyurem just came out of the blue with nothing that indicates its existence and with no backstory nor any hint that Hoopa had been involved. Moreover the fact that the only way for the fusion to happen is for Kyurem owner to have the DNA Splicers, something that Hilbert's never said to have, makes the reveal become even more contrived]]

** It seemed to be almost universally guessed that Rika would receive a Clodsire as her partner, which was confirmed with her release in late April 2024.

** Every Villain Event featured a Twitter rally to go alongside it, which included various goodies like candy coins, 5-star tickets, and most importantly, gems. The importance of the gems was such that when the Galar Villain Arc rally occured, the community was outraged and boycotted the rally, as the rally did not feature gems and mostly featured items considered useless by many players, veteran and new alike. The boycot actually reached to point where despite the other rallies being finished within ''one or two days'', the Galar VA rally notably remains the first and only of the rallies to outright '''fail''' to reach its final target, with only around 19,000 retweets compared to the 20,000 required.

* AmericansHateTingle: One small but noticeable part of the ''Masters EX'' fandom with this trope is in regards to the monthly datamines that [[ContentLeak effectively give a preview to what comes the next month]]. Datamines are generally disliked by Japanese players of the game, as they widely believe that datamines spoil the fun of guessing what comes every month, with many Japanese players outright blocking renowned dataminer's social media accounts. In much of the rest of the world, however, datamines are a huge and borderline renowned event, out of both suspense that often builds up for an entire month between datamines, and also out of pragmatism as the datamine gives details on the banners and gem counts coming so people know what to save for.

** Battle Rally is incredibly divisive and overall disliked by Japanese and Chinese players, as many players in the East overall are turned away by the more complicated mechanics of Battle Rally and the inability of simply sitting back with the game's most overpowered pairs and winning for free gems. In the West however, Battle Rally is incredibly popular and often stated to be the best mode the game has released in years, with players praising the game forcing players to switch out different teams and increasing the variety in battles.
