  • Ensemble Dark Horse: In-game, Topple is just one of the many Mons you can catch. Among the fanbase, it is generally agreed to be an unofficial mascot.
  • Game-Breaker:
    • A team containing Carbon, Prints, and Gary would be very powerful before nerfs happened, thanks to the trio having impressive type coverage.
  • Low-Tier Letdown: Goober is generally considered terrible, not only due to having a 4x weakness, but that weakness being the very common water attack type. This combined with its poor defenses means that anything with a water-type attack is likely to deliver a One-Hit Kill to it.
  • Scrappy Mechanic:
    • Losing a familiar in battle would lead to them leaving the player's party forever. This was later changed to only happen in battles against wild familiars, before being removed entirely in favor of a LevelDrain.
    • The move Vanish, an attack previously available to Cobby and Wispy, granted the user an 80% chance to nullify any attack that turn. It has since been removed, and although playing evasively through Fog is still possible, many counters to it exist, such as Sunbeam and Spotlight.
