* The fact that the developers put the Saffron City Gym next to an actual gym, both of the buildings look the exact same, except that the Pokemon gym [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment says GYM twice.]]

* If you access a PC and store your Pokémon in such a way that the only ones you have left are fainted ones, once you log off the PC and walk about three steps, you'll inexplicably faint, creating the hilarious mental image of a seemingly healthy person just randomly keeling over. Since Pokémon Centers have [=PCs=], this creates the even funnier image of collapsing in what's basically a ''medical facility'' and then having to pay half of your wallet just to walk a few steps to the entrance with healthy Pokémon, a service that would've been free of charge if you had just enough stamina to walk over to the counter and have the staff nurse your team that way.

Later games have a safeguard against this by preventing you from boxing your last non-fainted Pokémon.

* A Silph Co. scientist says he betrayed the company for Team Rocket because they assigned him to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiksi Tiksi]] branch, [[ReassignedToAntarctica deep in Siberia on the Arctic Ocean's coast]]. Of all the traitor scientists, he's the only one who had a decent reason rather than doing it out of greed.
** Even better in the Japanese version, where he had been reassigned to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podkamennaya_Tunguska_(rural_locality) a village with a population of less than 50]]. Though one has to wonder, why does Silph Co. have a lab there, and why did they send him there?

** Pokémon are not immune to this either. Come on, how many of us are guilty of doing something like [[http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=10 this]]...and [[MemeticMutation especially]] [[http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=27 this]], getting a chuckle and snicker every single time?
** The fact that he forgot his grandson's name is funny all on its own.

* Since [[VideoGameRemake FireRed and LeafGreen are remakes of Gen 1, with mostly the same Pokémon]], if you attempt to evolve Golbat or Chansey [[TrueCompanions into Crobat or Blissey]] [[SequenceBreaking before obtaining the National Pokédex]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCMc709l-m4 the evolution will suddenly cease]] [[LampshadeHanging with a humorous reaction to the occasion afterwards.]] [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment This never occurs in any other remake,]] but it is hilarious when it occurs, even moreso when it happens to people who played through Ruby and Sapphire expecting a Crobat.

Using the canonical name


** In the Japanese version, real-life yen is used instead of the fictional Pokédollars, and 500 yen roughly equals 5 USD. Taking this into account, the narrator seems to imply that ''five bucks'' is an outrageous price for a Magikarp.

** Due to this AI combined with another glitch in the way stat changes due to burn/paralyze work, LetsPlay/TwitchPlaysPokemon actually beat Misty's Starmie with ''a Kakuna and a Magikarp'' after burning it with their Charizard. For some reason, the halving of Attack due to burn is reapplied each time a stat change is made on the turn of the opponent of the burned Pokémon; e.g., when Kakuna used Harden. This meant that by the time Magikarp was sent out, Starmie's physical attacks could do next to nothing. But because Magikarp was a Water-type and thus resistant to other Water-type attacks, she opted for Tackle over Bubblebeam despite Bubblebeam being the superior choice even under normal circumstances[[note]]Bubblebeam's base power is nearly twice Tackle's and Starmie gets STAB on it, making it more than twice as powerful even without taking into account that Starmie's a better special attacker than physical attacker[[/note]] and succumbed to burn damage before it could finish off the Magikarp.

* In the Gen III remakes, at Bond Bridge on Three Island there's a single swimmer who claims a Pokémon [[WardrobeMalfunction damaged her swimsuit]] and can't leave the water. While amusing in itself, what really makes it funny is that despite her obvious embarrassment, she'll always be ready for a rematch when using the Vs. Seeker. GameplayAndStorySegregation, or SkewedPriorities?
