History YMMV / PokemonSpecial

* HumorDissonance: Diamond and Pearl's BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine isn't all that funny, but the characters that they're performing it for in-universe never fail to find it hysterical.

** [[spoiler: Zapmolcuno]] is finished off by a Blastoise, Charizard, and Venusaur simultaneously using their strongest attacks. It's [[SuperSmashBrothers the Triple Finish!]]

*** How has Red not been mentioned yet? He's been paired with EVERYONE.

* MemeticMutation: It's quite popular on pixiv to take a scene from the manga and render it anime-style.
** Medleys are also popular on niconico, usually with fans (as the characters) singing original lyrics.

** As of the HGSS arc, Crys has her moments too.

** STRANGELY averted with Gold despite having all the known Scrappy qualities possible: he's ungrateful, uncivil, selfish, arrogant, loud, ridiculously stupid, inconsiderate, brash, reckless, thinks he's right about everything, causes trouble for everyone around him and never apologizes for what he does, has selfish motive for EVERYTHING he does, DEMANDS he get a PokeDex from Professor Oak. Arguably, it goes to the extent whether where one might wonder how people in-universe can stand him, in spite of his redeeming qualities.

Why do people like him?! He's a {{Jerkass}} half the time!

* AssPull: Some people viewed[[spoiler:Ruby having Celebi since the beggining of the Ruby and Sapphire arc]] as one.

** When fans first saw the image of [[spoiler:White trapped in the Nimbasa Ferris Wheel with N]], there were a lot of rape jokes going around. When the following chapter came out, [[spoiler:what N did to White is arguably one of the biggest tear jerkers in the entire series. It was even called a G-rated version of the NetorareGenre]].

** Eusine's Electrode can fly around with the power of electric currents. Gen 4 introduces Magnet Rise [[hottip:*: Interestingly, no current Dex entries at the time said anything about it being able to fly, but a future one did]].

** Black's Musha has gotten this treatment too after it [[spoilers: abandons Black because it didn't like the taste of his dreams anymore. It coming back though seems to have it RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap.]]

** Another horrendous example is the BW chapter with Andy in it. Black thinks about what he learned, yet the only word in one of the text bubbles is the word own. Nothing else!

* TheyJustDidntCare: Viz's editor is apparently pretty lazy as the American release has quite a number of spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and typos throughout the entire ongoing one. One egregious case has Crystal's Arcanine's nickname being spelled ''three'' different ways in the span of a only a few ''pages''.

*** Except in this canon, that didn't happen, as Giovanni was only separated from his kid because [[spoiler: his son was kidnapped by Pryce. Then he spent ten years trying to track him down. And while he leaves him again in the end, he does so only after knowing for sure that he's in good hands, and even encourages him to get stronger so that one day he can defeat him in battle!]] This version of Giovanni may still be a terrible person, but he's a great father.

** Not to mention Mewtwo. [[spoiler: The revelation that the Sinnoh chapters take place after HGSS (not to mention that this still hasn't been resolved as of the BW chapter) means that he's been chasing after Sird for ''years'', probably under the belief that the Kanto Dex Holders (plus Silver) are still petrified.]]
** Maybe he'll learn what happened in X & Y??
