About unused not poorly done plots.


* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot:
** Miruto is part of a group investigating crimes throughout the region yet it is never expended upon till the point their goals or even name was never mentioned at all and only serve as part of Miruto's background. It could have interesting to see if said organization opposed or evek new about the Great Gaval Organization instead only ones fighting them being Ryouga's group and allies.
** Given the trend of human-Pokémon hybrids in fanworks, this manga could have been huge. Alas, not only did the the first "official" fusions end up looking rather hideous, the manga itself was rather weak. [[https://theviolenttomboy.tumblr.com/post/170087932746/was-pokemon-reburst-bad As one Tumblr user put it]]:
---> "When it comes down to it, [=ReBURST=] is a painfully generic, completely forgettable story made up of a bunch of basic stock shonen tropes haphazardly thrown into a blender, with the Pokemon part feeling more like an afterthought than anything else. The main male lead is as flat as a board, the main female lead is textbook useless despite having no right to be, no relationships were established and developed between any characters, the world-building is non-existent, and the plot went nowhere until it was clear that the series was going to get axed, leading to a rushed and unsatisfying ending."

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


** The BURST forms themselves look too human for Pokémorphs while simultaneously looking too ''in''human for gijinkas, [[UncannyValley hitting just the right measure of "human"]] to turn off fans of both.

* UncannyValley: Gijinkas are humans in Pokémon-themed clothes and accessories. Pokémorphs are anthropomorphic Pokémon. The BURST forms are a middle ground between the two, and lack the appeal of either; looking less like they fused with the Pokémon, and more like they ''skinned'' them.

* HilariousInHindsight: When images of ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon's'' Z Crystal were revealed alongside its Japanese logo in early 2016, it was pointed out how it suspiciously resembled a Burst Heart from ''Manga/PokemonReburst'', right down to the shape. Given that this coincided with fan speculation about the (rather divisive) theory of Ash-Greninja being not just a simple SuperMode, but potentially a FusionDance, following its reveal to be usable in-game - [[https://twitter.com/RogersBase/status/703698814796824576 the similarity between Z-Crystals and Burst Hearts]] set the EpilepticTrees over what exactly this could mean, on fire. [[ColbertBump Consequently, many well-known Pokémon bloggers started referencing]] the ''Manga/PokemonReburst'' manga, to support their theories that it was going to be the next major game mechanic. While any presumed connection was eventually debunked with the explanation of the Z-Crystals and their Z-Moves... during ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'''s climax, the BigBad does actually end up [[FusionDance fusing]] [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Sun_Moon_Lusamine_Nihilego_fused.png with the Ultra Beast]] - (later revealed to be extradimensional Pokémon) Nihilego - right before your final battle against them.

** How does a Pokémon get turned into a Burst Heart? One chapter reveals that the Great Gavel have laboratories doing this. And no, it's not kid-friendly either: This manga could have been re-classified as {{Seinen}} if the author didn't intentionally skip the procedures out, but ''[[GoryDiscretionShot it shows]]''.
** This also crosses into MoralEventHorizon where ''you are really abusing [[PhysicalGod Legendary Pokémon]] by [[HijackingCthulhu compressing them into]] [[TransformationTrinket Burst Hearts]] against their will'', as opposed to disable them like in other works. Imagine how this can become one of the most thought-provoking acts in ''the entire franchise ever''. It's impossible to abuse such God-leveled Pokémon in such way in other media, even games themselves.
* SoOkayItsAverage: The general consensus is that this manga isn't really ''horrible'' (it's unlikely any official ''Pokémon'' work ever could be) so much as it is just plain ''dull''.
