!! If you were looking for the 2013 video games, see ''YMMV/PokemonXAndY''.
* ArcFatigue: Due to how the battles can take weeks and the comic updates three days a week (Now at random), by the time a battle's finally done, you just want the story arc to be finished already.
* AssPull:
** Rocky's "Random Attack". The author has been better about that, either ignoring it completely or simply having it activate as a useless move. With a bonus of adding variety instead of just abusing one strategy over and over again on Rocky when it's not an over-powered move, but not useless either.
** The reveal that Monty was an alien as a reference to [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Poochie]]. Not only was this never hinted out before, but it outright contradicts the backstory given by him and May. The author states that he added the twist on a whim after a user on the forums gave him the idea.
* HilariousInHindsight: The name, considering the existence of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'' about a decade after the webcomic's release. Recon Dye [[https://twitter.com/ReconDye/status/317081710628065280 is aware of this]].
%% * SeasonalRot: It's not a huge amount, but the quality of the writing has suffered in later arcs.
