** Contrary to the games, Pokémon don't just get headbutted or set on fire without issue. Rusty's FastballSpecial gives the opponent's Rattata head trauma, Rusty's Pokémon die when he fights the Cinnibar gym leader too early (Vanillite melts and Venomoth is incinerated, both as a result of being exposed to Flamethrower), and so forth.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Pokémon or not, letting a child who knows next-to-nothing about caring for animals going out all by themselves is shown to be a terrible idea (let alone a child who [[SmallNameBigEgo has an ego the size of a small planet]]). As a result, Rusty's Pokémon either are killed due to improper handling and negligence, or end up hating his guts. Also, a lot of Rusty's ideas that might work in the games end up failing thanks to this. Such as sicking his Bidoof on a Team Rocket Grunt, who shows he can just shoot the poor beast in the head.
** The aforementioned shooting of a Bidoof also illustrates that unlike the games or anime, Team Rocket isn't going to agree to Pokémon battles or fight fair. They're an organized group of criminals who are not above killing animals they don't need or children who break into their base.
** For that matter, its also been noted several times throughout the series that Rusty essentially lives like a homeless person, as he claims that he sleeps in the woods and eats out of the garbage.

* TakeThat:
** EV Trainers and StopHavingFunGuys in general are mocked, as one tries to teach Rusty about breeding and EV training. He gets bored halfway through the explanation, and Team Rocket keeps stealing his Pokémon precisely because the EV Trainer breeds such perfect specimens. The song that accompanies his montage of teaching Rusty how to EV train his Pokémon lampshades this.
** There also seems to be some mocking of Pokémon Battle variations in "Battlehaus." Horde battles in particular; Battle Bart says they're not in the Battlehaus because he passionately considers them "cheap f**king trubbish*t."
** Pokémon who are considered lame get killed, such as Bidoofs, Zubats, Mr. Mime.
** ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' gets bashed in "Battlehaus" when Rusty and Battle Bart enter a room with two people playing the game. Both completely skip out on it when the game's name is mentioned.

However, this trope is an ''inversion'' for everyone else in the story since Rusty being in jail would make everyone better off: Pokémon would no longer die meaninglessly under Rusty's poor handling, his parents could potentially visit and take back their ungrateful ass of a son, and people won't be harmed by Rusty's utter stupidity (causing a forest fire, running over a 10-year old kid, etc)]].

* HauntingTheGuilty: In "Ghost Tower", [[ChronicPetKiller Rusty]] goes to the Pokémon Tower and is confronted by the angry ghosts of all the Pokémon he's accidentally killed, including a Zubat he drowned by trying to Surf on its back, a Tentacool whose tentacles he plugged into an electrical socket, a Grimer he washed down the drain, and a horde of Bidoofs he crammed into a single Poké Ball. Unlike most examples of this trope, he does not feel guilty for their deaths at all, because he's a complete idiot.
