* In "Battledrome of the Sexes", why is no one watching the match aware that the Peyton and Crystella are actually using creatures of the opposite gender? In a normal Chaotic match, whenever a player loses a creature, they return to the battledrome to select their next creature. When that happens, the player who won the round also returns to the battleground and de-transforms, which in this case should reveal that the players are using opposite-gender creatures. While the viewer isn't shown that part in this episode, we know it was visible to the spectators because Tom, Sarah, and Kaz are able to witness TheReveal at the end. So how come no one spotted that earlier?

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


*** You could probably chalk that up to the fact that it was a dream. The mind can pull some weird crap, and considering what Kaz's normal life is like, it wouldn't be surprising if his dreams take it UpToEleven.

* Is Perim smaller than earth? Do the people in Perim know how big there planet is? are the four tribes bigger than they look? I mean the whole thing appears to be controlled by four tribes. Yet it has such a diverce climate and the underworld goes somewhere with lava. The force of gravity also appears to be normal.
** From what I can tell, it's probably the same size. Considering the advancement of their civilizations, and the fact that in one of the episodes there's creatures claiming territory, probably not. The tribes are fairly spread out across their respective lands, so who knows?

* Something bothers me about seasons 2 and 3, what's with all the Overworlder's continued harassment of Tom and his friends? I mean this is the same kid who stood up to Chaor and Von Bloot in order to save their leader! Yet Maxxor's guards always try to shoot him on sight! Shouldn't Maxxor have instructed them not to fire on his human friend?

** There's also the fact that the prize players get for defeating a Code Master is a scan of an ultra rare location, meaning that Perim still has many places that most players have not explored or even found yet, which means it's definitely bigger than it seems.

** However, there is a bit of a glaring flaw in that plan: If Perim really is like Earth, the polar ice caps will not hold enough frozen water to flood the planet entirely. Instead, the sea level would rise, and flood any areas below the new sea level. If you can factor in the Underworld, the effects would be even lessened(at least, to the Overworlders). The only good it would do is simply get rid of one or two tribes, if said tribes haven't evacuated to higher ground by then.

*** And even if that weren't the case and somebody did have a reason to sue him/her, who in their right mind would take the case SERIOUSLY? Remember Kaz almost got sent to some kind of sanitarium for claiming that Chaotic/Perim was real, anybody who tried to sue Chaotic for something that happened in the 'real' Chaotic/Perim they'd probably be thrown into the nearest nuthouse.

**And don't forget like 95% of the population in Chaotic are teenagers or kids, who probably don't completely understand the magnitude of a world-wide war unless it directly affects them. Most of them just go into Perim, get the scans, and get out before some pissed off creature decides to turn them into code. Tom and the others spend time and actually get to know the creatures in Perim, even befriended a good number of them, so they better understand the war and it's hardships.

**In "Castle Bodran or Bust, Part 2", Maxxor comments on this: "For you, the troubles of Perim are part of a game." Tom later replies that "it's not all a game to me". His actions later in the episode allow him to gain Maxxor's trust, but creatures often don't trust the humans or question their loyalty throughout the series. The humans may have different priorities than the creatures on many occasions, but the main characters do take Perim's problems seriously. However, most ordinary players don't, and it's clear that Tom and his friends are the exception to the rule- hence the creatures' lack of trust.

** That, and it would effectively destroy the possibility of resistance since what land remained would be under their control.




to:

** That depends entirely on the player. Tom and co. certainly take the triumphs and defeats of their favorite tribes and characters very personally, and they've gone on several quests to help them. A couple of interesting twists on this is that the players may well feel they really ''are'' risking their lives. Even though the players may not die "for real" since they are essentially [[BrainUploading uploaded]] {{Virtual Ghost}}s of their real selves, since dying in the game means never being able to play again, plus all physical sensations carrying over... and they really ''do'' feel like they're risking their lives. The other is, just how "life and death" are some of these conflicts? Sure, as a cartoon the death toll can't be high, but it also seems to be almost completely NonLethalWarfare.
