* FaceOfAThug: The Surge City Gym Leader Kadmon. Alongside being the [[BodyguardingABadass bodyguard of Champion Chroma]], he looks like the leader of a villain team. In actuality? He's one of the [[NiceGuy nicest people you'll ever meet]] within the region.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Dyna is a FireyRedhead and an overall extremely energetic woman, often times [[FunnyBackgroundEvent doing silly dance moves during battle]]. This changes nothing about the fact that she's the PsychopathicWomanchild leader of the violent Team Firework.

* ShoutOut: When attempting to engage Dyna at the end of Team Firework's base, she's nowhere to be found, with [[VideoGame/TwistedMetal a time bomb with a sticky note saying "Screw You! Love, Dyna" on it taking her place.]]

--> (When selecting Hell Mode) By Arceus, unless you want to torture yourself or you know the game very well, picking this difficulty option is not reccomended. All Pokemon's EVs and IVs are maxed, stronger pokemon will be used, and that includes [[OlympusMons Legendaries]]. '''[[SincerityMode Good luck]].

* YouFool: [[DownplayedTrope Although not directly said]], the GameOver screen exclaims '''"You shouldn't have done that...!"''' when an [[Main/OneHitKill OHKO]] is used before the 5th gym as seen above in DevelopersForesight, calling out the PlayerCharacter, and by extenstion, '''[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou YOU]]''' because what you just commited is the equivalent of a crime.

It's a normal day in the Criht Region, with Professor Veylunne tasking you to [[WalkingTheEarth travel through Criht]], a land known for battling, change and chaos, and [[GottaCatchEmAll catch as many Pokemon as you can]], the usual routine... then you and [[TheRival your rivals]] stumble across a plot that involves not just one, not just two, but '''[[BigBadEnsemble three villainous teams]]'''. [[CombatPragmatist Team Victory]], [[EvenEvilHasStandards Team Lock]], and [[TheSocialDarwinist Team Firework]]. With [[TheParagon Team Shadow]] assisting you and your group, your primary goals are to help put a stop to the other teams alongside getting all 8 Gym Badges. However, things aren't what they seem... since a nefarious plot to unrestrict several outlawed {{Dangerous Forbidden Technique}}s start taking center stage.

** The Gym Leader of Cosmo City (and the Champion of the Criht Region) Chroma is cited to be one of the strongest trainers within the region. While it comes off as CharacterShilling, there is a very, '''very''' good reason for it. He uses several competitive strategies [[ArtificalBrilliance and even makes use of switching, adding hazard, and removing his own hazards via Rapid Spin users]]. While trainers use the full potential of the battle system by employing those strategies, Chroma stands out for having a team tailor-made for competitive battling.

* AscendedFridgeHorror: [[Main/OneHitKill OHKO]] moves have been a staple of the series, but there have been cases of FridgeHorror about it due to how potentially dangerous and life-threatening they are. FL/SL on the other hand, makes this a legitimate plot point, with three incidents taking place at the same time leading to it's ban alongside forming a key motivation for one of the villainous teams.

** [[Main/OneHitKill OHKO]] moves cannot be learned by any Pokémon, even those that natively have those moves. The reason for this is because there were three horrifying incidents taking place at the same time that involved these moves, causing a device to be made specfically to suppress them.

* AscendedExtra: While [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Victini]] and [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Marshadow]] are mythical Pokémon in their respective home games, they are promoted to [[OlympusMons Box Legenaries]] in both versions, being used respectively by Team Victory and Team Shadowlight.

** Criht Minccino & Cinccino both adore [[FilthyFun being filthy, and covered in trash]] to the point they're [[ThePigPen incredibly grungy as a result]]. They have the aptly-named ability "Pigsty", which allows them to absorb entry hazards that aren't Sticky Web alongside having amplified defense.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration

Pokemon Firelight & Shadowlight (also known as FL/SL) is a fanmade ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' game concept made by @/{{somepersonnamedcaloy}} and @/{{Mrperson2006}}, being a more DarkerAndEdgier take on the series while delving into personal themes...[[AscendedFridgeHorror alongside addressing the more frightening implications of]] [[Main/OneHitKill OHKO]] moves. The game takes place in the Criht Region, containing all Pokemon from VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue up to VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield with some regional forms.

* HarderThanHard: Hell mode, as the name implies, is much harder than the other two difficulties. Trainer's Pokémon have much higher [=IVs=], with some later ones using [[OlympusMon Legendary Pokémon]], and fights with gimmicks are amplified.

* ShoutOut: When attempting to engage Dyna at the end of Team Firework's base, she's nowhere to be found, instead [[VideoGame/TwistedMetal leaveing behind a bomb with a sticky note saying "Screw You! Love, Dyna" on it.]]

* Main/EliteFour: As usual, there is a group of four team members. It isn't a ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' game without them, after all.

* DevelopersForesight: Although it's only possible with save editing, attempting to use [[Main/OneHitKill OHKO]] moves [[spoiler: before Team Shadow locates and destroys the Nullification Device after the 5th gym]] will automatically end the battle upon usage. Two things can happen depending on the outcome, but they both cause the PlayerCharacter to get arrested and put in prison.
** If the move lands, an increasingly ExtremeCloseUp of horrified onlookers fills up the screen, implying '''that you straight up murdered the opposing Pokemon AND their trainer.'''
** If the move misses, a horrified/angered expression, or in some cases both shows up on the opponent, wordlessly [[YouBastard villifying you for even thinking about using a]] DangerousForbiddenTechnique.

---> (When selecting the StoryDifficultySetting) If [[HardModePerks Competitive]] or [[HarderThanHard Hell]] is getting too much for you, or you just want to experience the story... by all means, that's alright! It's a perfectly valid way to play Firelight and Shadowlight, so no need to feel ashamed! That, and the characters alone can be a selling point.
