  • Adorkable:
    • Lavi is a powerful Aura Guardian who can Burst. He also wears an outfit that is often confused for an undersized dragon kigurumi, has to use training wheels on a bike, and is easily the silliest and most energetic member of Team Fresh Floof.
    • Jade is the most straightforwardly dorky member of Team Fresh Floof, being a lover of Ghost-type Pokemon who, in her own words, isn't very good with people.
    • Scarlet is a shy, sweet, (formerly) sleepy church girl who hides behind her Solrock if she finds herself at the center of attention. She also becomes a blushing mess around her crush.
  • Archive Panic: With over five hundred episodes (not counting Patreon exclusive content and streams) you're looking at days of content.
  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The Magikarp jumping contest. Every single Magikarp that competes is a strange mutant (other than a tiny regular Magikarp)... and then all of them get disqualified for increasingly bullshit reasons. Then the whole thing turns out to be a scam. The editor lampshades this by asking "Should we all just agree to never discuss this again?"
  • Ensemble Dark Horse:
    • Team Peasant Poppers as a whole is adored by the fandom. The first episode of their one-shot has even more views than the main series' first episode. It helps that many people were introduced to the series through JelloApocalypse, who stars in the one-shot.
    • Among the members of Team Prism, Amber is the biggest fan favorite. She's an anarchist hacker willing to go outside the law to help her friends. And since she's Amber, she gets results. It also helps that she and Nera (who is beloved even by Team Peasant Poppers standards) fell in love in a humorous yet surprisingly touching scene about adapting to the True West/False West change.
    • Watashi started out as a minor Ninja character to fill out the roster of the Anarcity [Farmer's Market]. But her over-the-top Occidental Otaku mannerisms made her a hit with the fanbase and she would quickly gain a bigger role in the story.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • Democra City decides its head of state through an "election" that is actually a glorified battle tournament. Pokémon: Gospel Version would go on to turn this into a core plot point, but for the entire region of Unovanote .
    • The mere existence of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet counts since not only is one of the main characters named Scarlet, but another character named Violet shows up later on.
    • Rick Shades wouldn't be the only Pokémon trainer to take excessive damage from a dessert. The epilogue of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero has Kieran get smacked in the head unusually hard with a mochi of all things.
  • Memetic Badass: While Decans would go on to be the workhorse of Jade's team when it comes to battling, John Cena (a Pinsir) is considered the actual most badass member of her team (especially after one-shotting a gym leader's Decidueye before it could wipe the party.) Naturally, Future Cena turns out to be ridiculously strong.
  • Memetic Loser: He may be a talented trainer capable of Battle Bonding, but dunking on Prism has become a pastime among the crew and fans (mainly because of his unfortunate love life.)
  • Moe: Scarlet is the series' reigning queen of Moe. Along with the qualities mentioned under Adorkable, she squees at cute canine Pokemon and loves making cuddle puddles full of them.
  • The Woobie: Despite how often his misfortune is played for laughs, many characters and viewers are genuinely concerned for Samson.
