* SnarkBait: With all it's cliches, generic protagonists, sloppy art, sloppy writing, the OutOfFocus treatment of the Pokémon that pushes it into borderline InNameOnly, and [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids
trying too hard to be serious in a franchise mostly aimed at kids]], ''Manga/PokemonReburst'' is widely mocked as a "Bad fanfiction made official".

Don't whitewash it. I got friends on deviantart who are gijinka artists and none of them ever produced anything that hideous looking.

* HypeBacklash: It was hyped as a DarkerAndEdgier Pokémon manga in comparisons to the others but when it came out a lot of people were turned off by the FetishRetardant, HotBlooded protagonist, and especially the ''lack of actual Pokémon''.

* HilariousInHindsight: When images of ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon's'' Z Crystal were revealed alongside its Japanese logo in early 2016, it was pointed out how it suspiciously resembled a Burst Heart from ''Manga/PokemonReburst'', right down to the shape. Given that this coincided with fan speculation about the (rather divisive) theory of Ash-Greninja being not just a simple SuperMode, but potentially a FusionDance, following its reveal to be usable in-game - [[https://twitter.com/RogersBase/status/703698814796824576 the similarity between Z-Crystals and Burst Hearts]] set the EpilepticTrees over what exactly this could mean, on fire. Consequently, many well-known Pokémon bloggers started referencing the ''Manga/PokemonReburst'' manga, to support their theories that it was going to be the next major game mechanic. While any presumed connection was eventually debunked with the explanation of the Z-Crystals and their Z-Moves... during ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'''s climax, the BigBad does actually end up [[FusionDance fusing]] [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Sun_Moon_Lusamine_Nihilego_fused.png with the Ultra Beast]] - (later revealed to be extradimensional Pokémon) Nihilego - right before your final battle against them.

* ColbertBump: When the images of the Pokémon Sun and Moon's Z-Crystal were first leaked in early 2016, it suspiciously resembled a Burst Heart right down to the shape coinciding with the speculation of Ash-Greninja being a FusionDance rather than a simple SuperMode via [[BondCreature Bond Evolution]] as revealed later on, the similarity of the design and timing of Ash-Greninja's reveal set the EpilepticTrees on fire and many famous pokemon bloggers started referencing this manga, coming up with theories that it would actually be the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AI0Wb-J7qg next]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryF2pry-kos big]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-WHc6PhFOo game]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwkzPu1PNiY mechanic]].
