  • Some of the graphical glitches caused by the way the games are setup can be rather entertaining. Besides "WORDS WutFace", there are occasions where the stream will break and turned black and white, (Dubbed "Old Timey filter" by the chat) occasionally break to have extremely washed out colors and have "burned" images of transparent Pokémon sprite during matches, (dubbed "spoopy" or "VHS" mode by the chat) and sometimes results in a look "behind the scenes" when the black screen during the payout sections doesn't load.
  • Both teams are down to their last Pókemon. Blue's Jirachi is on a roll and faces Red's Mew. Mew uses Transform, turning into Jirachi. Next turn, Mew!Jirachi uses Metronome. Which turned into Imprison. Cue Blue Jirachi being unable to use ANY moves and killing itself via Struggle, and chat exploding, as usual.
    "ARE YOU SHITTING ME", "Literally the first time I have seen Imprison being useful", "TACTICAL IMPRISON", "Metronome mattered" - Assorted viewers on the above.
  • A picture compilation of the chat's interpertation of Katamari on the Rocks.
  • Delcatty/Togepi/Marowak vs. Mismagius/Duskull/Haunter. A cancer match to be certain, but a hilarious one due to the fact that Mismagius has literally no way of hitting Delcatty, but Delcatty's only way to hit Mismagius is either to wait for Assist to call Togepi's Foresight or wait for Mismagius to use Shadow Ball and Copycat it. It's tough to say which side truly has the advantage, but the most hilarious part came the first time the match was played, both sides were convinced that the Delcatty side just threw the match.
  • After Waning Moon ended, live commentators were introduced for PBR. 2 days later, one of the commentators, lordhelixbj, started commenting with little sleep, leading to crazy commentary including a complete match of giggling and an on-stream marriage with fellow commentator Bryandagamer.
