- Alternate Character Interpretation: Creatively, Bianca's depicted as a Southern Belle.
- Crossover Ship: Nina is shipped with James, the protagonist of Death's Nuzlocke. (Apparently, they're Tsundere for each other.) The ship is known as "Nuzlocke Grumps", and has lots of fanart.
- Ensemble Dark Horse: Kynim wasn't really expecting all the love Mimi got from the instant she joined the team.
- Jasper the Joltik, who helps out N in Chargestone Cave, was a smash hit despite him being a one-point character. Apparently, his design and mannerisms reminded the readers of Catbug so much that even the author acknowledges this.
- Leif, Cheren's Serperior, became the first mon that wasn't under the ownership of either protagonist to get their own gijinka artwork due to demand after one of the White Extra comics helping Zach out.
- And speaking of Cheren, he's been getting more love since his characterization in the comic of helping Nina cope with the loss of Jordan in a mature and caring manner is unique and refreshing compared to the tiring and overly-introspective route from the games to those who tend to twist the rivals into being much more horrible than they actually are.
- Harsher in Hindsight: A hypothetical situation that is Played for Laughs in Extra Comic 034 shows Kynim (the character) meeting Andy and being terrified of him due to her fear of bugs. Sadly, this will never happen after Andy dies in the fight against Ghetsis' Hydreigon.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: Jordan is dressed up with a Fez and Bowtie in Extra Comic 13 of Kynim's White Run. The author became a Whovian later.
- Moral Event Horizon: Ghetsis challenges Nina under the threat of killing Alder, Cheren and N if she backs out, then proceeds to massacre her team with sadistic relish.
- Shipping: VERY prevalent in both comics.
- During her Diamond run Kynim dates Roark after beating him in a Gym Battle. Post-game, Lucas and Haisi get married.
- Her White run is full of ships getting teased. And the author admits that she shipteases in response to crazy fans who may have Shipping Goggles on a bit too tight for her liking.
- Viewer Gender Confusion:
- Diamond: You'd be surprised how many people thought Haisi was a girl, probably due to his Bishōnen appearance mixed with his Camp Gay behavior. He finally set the record straight in a Q&A comic when someone asked if he was a boy or a girl, to which he responded "I have a dick and I like dick."
- White: Asha, Ghetsis' Hydreigon. He's got a feminine sounding name, is rarely referred to by any pronouns and is part of a Pokemon species that has no obvious sexual dimorphism. For the longest time, the only confirmation that he was male was Word of God. Part 4 of the battle with Ghetsis repeatedly refers to him by male pronouns, as if to finally drive the point home that this is a male Hydreigon.
