History YMMV / Symbiosis

* MoralEventHorizon: Hikaru Buckak is introduced in a scene which [[FreudianExcuse reveals his unfortunate childhood]]. His father, a former Rocket agent, died during the Great War (during the battle of Saffron City), and his mother lost the will to live regardless of the small child she should be raising. When she died, he was raised among Team Rocket, and over time grew to despise Pokemon, the League, and everything the League stood for. This initially makes him ''somewhat'' sympathetic to the readers despite his allegiance... And then he proceeds to [[spoiler:MindRape Sabrina, getting her to torture and murder her colleagues and loved ones, as well as betray the very City she has sworn herself protector of.]] By the end of the Saffron City Arc, the fact that the League is partially responsible for creating men like him is no longer the point - you've lost most (if not all) sympathy for him and want him to pay dearly for his crimes, because the FreudianExcuse just doesn't cut it anymore. [[spoiler:So far, he is a KarmaHoudini.]]

* IKnewIt: Many of reviewers figured out that Elle [[spoiler: is Jessiebell]].

* RougeAnglesOfSatin: One flaw this story has is the occasional misspelling.

** Also Atsushi being a fighting-type trainer from the game was also {{Jossed}} as he's an OriginalCharacter accountant who had the [[NamesTheSame same name and proximity]]

* RougeAnglesOfSatin: The one flaw this story has is the occassional mispelling.
** YMMV on that claim

* HolyShitQuotient: Professor Oak fighting Jessie and James in hand-to-hand combat. Using mantis-style kung fu.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Jessie and James. The only reason they're villains is because thanks to [[spoiler:the psychological breaking they underwent]], they (quite literally) have a reversed perception of what the words "good" and "evil" mean.
** [[spoiler:Sabrina]] too, but now she is just the BrokenBird.

* AngstWhatAngst: Mostly in Ash's case - he has his moments, but otherwise is quite good at controlling his emotions. Many other characters ''do'' have emotional baggage as well, and they're not quite as good at keeping it in check as he is - especially [[spoiler:Sabrina]].
