Doing an Incredibly Lame Pun cleanup of all things Pokemon related.


** This is actually an {{Incredibly Lame Pun}} that was {{Lost In Translation}}. In the Japanese versions, Nidoking has the same name, Slowking is Yadoking, and Magikarp is Koiking. They all have "king" in their names, hence regal.

* From the remakes, when Lance suggests a tag team battle between you, [[TheRival Silver]], himself, and his cousin Clair... for some reason, Silver ''really'' isn't too keen on the idea of Clair being on his team...or [[HoYay Ethan]]/[[FoeYay Lyra]] being on a team with Lance. He immediately scoffs at Clair, insulting her wardrobe choice, then telling the hero character (regardless of gender), that you are on his team. We all know [[NoHuggingNoKissing what kind of game Pokémon is]], but many people couldn't help but find Silver acting like a jealous {{tsundere}}. It came off as rather hilarious.
* [[FoeYay Despite gender]], the scene where Silver strips your character of their Team Rocket disguise...mostly because of the [[RuleThirtyFour dozens and dozens]] of fanarts that have spawned from this one scene!

** This is only the case in the remakes though. The original English versions of the game replaced the Magikarp with a Seaking of a level similar to the other two Pokémon, preserving the pun, but ruining the fun of seeing an extremely high-levelled, yet still as useless, Magikarp.

* As mentioned, the moment when your rival strips you out of your Team Rocket uniform. The PlayerCharacter, who usually acts like a HeroicMime and doesn't respond to the things around them at all, even turns around to face the wall in a desperate effort to keep their rival from blowing their cover. It's equally funny and adorable, especially if you had realized something about the scene. If you assume that Ethan/Lyra weren't wearing their clothes under that uniform, they weren't turned to the wall to keep their cover [[DefeatByModesty but for modesty.]] And if that's the case, their clothes might still be in the booth in the underground. Which means the first half of the Radio Tower assault was a FullFrontalAssault. [[FanDisservice No wonder Team Rocket is so incompetent through it!]] And also explains "why so serious" for Silver. [[HumiliationConga That's just a bad day for our heroes...]]
** Granted, according to the sprites, the player character ''was'' wearing their other clothes under the uniform, averting this a bit. Still, ''Silver'' had no way of knowing that, making him ripping the uniform off come across as... [[CrossesTheLineTwice hilariously bad]] [[NoSocialSkills social skills]].

* In HG/SS, you can use your Pokédex to check the size and weight of a Pokémon compared to the player character. Weight is represented by a scale, holding the Pokémon and the player character in each of the cups. If the Pokémon is very heavy, the PC will bounce so high that [[PaintingTheMedium they momentarily appear in the upper screen of the DS.]] If you use a Steelix or a Snorlax, the heaviest Pokémon available in a normal playthrough, the PC is ''catapulted straight through the upper screen and never comes back down''.
* In Heart Gold and Soul Silver, on some occasions while your Pokémon is walking with you, it will hold items for the Fashion Case. There are a few points where if you try to take whatever it's holding, it will get angry at you because its item is apparently "too important to let go".

This includes Chuck deciding to take his wife to [[BusmansHoliday Tohjo Falls]], Falkner and Janine's [[MyDadCanBeatUpYourDad war]], Clair thinking her outfit is the latest fashion, and Whitney rambling on about nothing.
* In particular, one of Chucks phone calls has him talking about how his waterfall-generator has been malfunctioning, only to be cut off by it breaking and gushing water everywhere.
* [[TheRival Blue's]] phone calls can only seem to fuel the [[YaoiFangirl fangirls]] even more so...when he calls your character and says how you remind him a little bit of [[TheHero Red]]. [[FoeYay But only just a bit]].
