* [[spoiler:Mother Beast Lusamine's]] Pokeéon each gain a new move while she's in that state: Two learn Pain Split, one Flail, one Stun Spore, and finally Moonlight. Given both their overall odd appearances during the battle and later their trainer's condition after said battle, it paints a somewhat unsettling picture.

* At one point, Rotom says it's afraid of ghosts, despite [[HypocriticalHumor it being a Ghost itself]]. This makes sense, though, when you realize that Ghost-type Pokémon are weak to Ghost-type moves.

*** Not that this has anything to do with their type, but Yungoos and Gumshoos [[MemeticMutation look like Donald Trump,]] while Alolan Rattata looks like [[CrossesTheLineTwice a Mexican.]]

** Why is Decidueye an archer? One; it's a form of irony. Prior to the invention of guns, how did early man hunt and catch prey from a distance?
** Two; owls have excellent vision and hearing during night and day in order to pinpoint prey.
** Three; As a former flying type from its previous stages (although its animations hint it's still capable of flight), it would naturally know how to react to and wield wind and air currents. These are all qualities you'd want an archer to have!

** Ironically, his "fake trial" where you fight through Team Skull mooks to get at Guzma himself might actually feel more akin to battling your way through a (particularly dilapidated) Pokemon Gym, seeing as how Trials primarily have you fighting wild pokemon, not teams belonging to other trainers. He may have failed at becoming a certified Trial Captain, but he just might've made a really good Gym Leader if he'd been in a different region.

*** The Alolan Grimer and Muk notably have their regular and shiny colors reversed from the normal Grimer and Muk. Why is this the case? Remember, Alola being in the tropics means it gets pretty hot. Perhaps what happened is the shiny Grimers and Muks had an easier time adapting to the warmer environment because lighter colors absorb less heat, and overtime, it became more common for the Grimer line to be green. And the shiny Grimers and Muks being purple is actually a remnant of the normal Grimers and Muks they evolved from.

* There is a Stufful on Route 15 waiting for its trainer. In Sun and Moon it dies by the post-game. In Ultra Sun and ULtra Moon you can reunite it with the trainer in the desert. With the trainer nowhere to be found in the original Sun and Moon it probably means they are dead also.

* There's quite a few first stage Pokemon who can rarely call in their fully-evolved counterparts when they're in trouble against you, examples including Dratini, Bagon, Trubbish and Zubat. It's fully possible that the fully evolved 'mons are ''the younger 'mon's parents, or some of the elders of that particular population they belong to.''

* While it's undeniably awesome that you can catch Pseudo-Legendaries in the wild, one of these extremely rare encounters, Salamence, can verge on FridgeHorror when you think about it too much. While most of the Pseudo-Legendaries are found on the later islands (and thus, later on in a trainer's Island Challenge from an in-universe perspective), wild Bagons (Salamence's first stage) can be found on the very first Island of the Alola Region. Imagine being a young trainer, finding a rare but friendly Bagon in the grass on Route 3, attempting to catch it only to see the little guy calling for help... only for the extremely territorial and unpredictable Salamence to answer the baby dragon's cries. [[PapaWolf Perhaps that's Bagon's mother or father]]. How many trainers do you think might have come to harm from this unexpected meeting?

* If you speak to the lady at the reception desk of the motel Gladion is living in, she'll imply that he's been having some financial issues and that Team Skull haven't been paying him very much (which makes sense, given that they're impoverished to begin with). [[AdultFear Now look again at how skinny Gladion is.]] It doesn't look as if he's been able to feed himself properly, either.

** In Japan, the Dark-type is the 'Evil'-type, despite the fact that quite a number of the type [[DarkIsNotEvil aren't evil]]; just [[CombatPragmatist pragmatic]], mischevious, or any number of things. No doubt for Sandshrew, the majority are the normal ones and were named Sand; the Ice ones are simply offshoots, which can happen in nature per regular evolution, not the franchise's version -- their name is the same because of convenience, presumably.

* Team Skull is seen as one of the weakest teams - even the grunts mostly use unevolved Pokémon. By the time you storm Team Skull's base, you're just thinking "You guys ''again''?" and are just seeing them as annoyances. Actually, that's GameplayAndStoryIntegration - InUniverse, nobody takes Team Skull seriously, so you know ''exactly'' how the people in Alola feel towards them.

* The Tapus are all related to each other in some way in gameplay. For one, give them their corresponding Seeds and tweak their natural movesets a bit and they all have incredible synergy with each other, especially in Double Battles. ([[VideoGame/SonicForces Together we can show the world what we can do, you are next to me and I'm next to you, pushing on through until the battle's won!)]] Also, each one has some advantage other at least one. Tapu Koko can slap Tapu Fini silly with Electro Ball and possibly Agility or Choice Scarf/Specs, Tapu Bulu resists two out of three of its cohorts and has defensive and specially defensive stats to match both of them. Tapu Lele can nullify the priority moves of its friends, especially Tapu Fini, giving it an edge over it as Fini relies on its health restoring moves to counteract its mediocre HP.

*** If you go by Pokédex, the Ultra beasts doesn't have a chance and will just be beaten within seconds. Dialga and Palkia can create and destroy universes easily (and they almost do, in Platinum), Giratina is as powerful as them; the combined might of Azelf, Uxie and Mesprit is equal to either Palkia or Dialga and let's not forget Arceus who created all of them and is more powerful. So that's seven universal power and as long as they are benevolent, there isn't a single threat that is dangerous to the world apart from something caused by one of them. Even without them, you have Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza who can destroy the whole planet with their power, as well as Xerneas and Yveltal who had enough power in them to charge a weapon powerful enough to destroy the planet too.
