* YourSizeMayVary: The anime often disregards the official sizes given in the games. Even treating the games' figures as an average with room for variation, the difference in the show can get absurd. For example, Gyarados is mentioned in the game as measuring 6.5 meters (21 feet 4 inches). In the anime, they're often portrayed as being about twice as big.

** ''Mean Look'' is a non-damaging move that prevents the opponent from switching out and escaping battle.
** Starting third generation, Pokémon have abilities. An ability called "Shadow Tag" prevents the opponent from retreating their Pokémon or escaping battle. The "Arena Trap" ability has the same effect for Pokémon who can take damage from Ground-type moves, and "Magnet Pull" has this effect on Steel-type Pokémon.
** The move "Ingrain" causes the user to recover some health each turn, at the price of not being able to retreat or escape battle.
** The move ''No Retreat'' raises all the user's stats by 1 but prevents the user from switching out or fleeing.

* TechnicianPerformerTeamUp: Zig-zagged by the duo of [[PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo Red]] and [[TheRival Blue]] when they team up for multi-battles in a game, whose personalities do not match the style of their teams. Red is TheStoic (normally a Technician trait) who fields a team of SignatureMon hard-hitters but which lack synergy (more of a Performer trait). Blue is an arrogant, loudmouth jerk (though he [[TookALevelInKindness got kinder]] since his introductory games), typically more Performer traits, but fields a far more technically sound, balanced, synergistic team with moves to cover their weaknesses and even strategic moves like [[SymmetricEffect Trick Room]] (which allows slower Pokémon to move first and greatly benefits his team). Combined, they make for an incredibly challenging multi-battle duo.

* SupernaturalHotspotTown: In ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' and ''Videogame/PokemonLetsGo'', Lavender Town is home to the Pokémon Tower, a massive tomb containing the bodies of hundreds of deceased Pokémon. While this obviously means you encounter ghost-type Pokémon in the tower, you also encounter an entity known as "the ghost", which turns out to be a Marowak that was killed by Team Rocket in their attempt to take over the tower. Several of the trainers in there act as if they have been possessed by ghosts, an otherworldly fog pervades the tower, and an NPC just to the north of it asks about a white hand on your character's shoulder.
