* When you are underwater, weather abilities somehow work. ''Underwater''. Especially when a Water-type, like Kyogre, has Drizzle as its ability, and it rains underwater. Or, perhaps more baffling, Primal Groudon's ability, which negates water attacks. Underwater.
** Groudon's ability working underwater veers right into FridgeHorror if you think about it from a physics standpoint. A sufficient source of heat can flash-vaporize water. To do it underwater, you'd need a massive amount of heat, for example a nuclear bomb, like the one in ''Film/PacificRim'' for instance. You're walking around with something producing as much heat as a ''thermo-nuclear explosion near-constantly''. ConvectionSchmonvection is ''clearly'' in play with Primal Groudon. On the other hand, by the time you encounter Groudon, you have the Blue Orb which is supposed to counteract Primal Groudon's magic.
** More generally - there are no restrictions at all on what Pokémon or attacks you can use while underwater, which takes the old conundrum of how Golem can be used while surfing up a notch. Lava snails can survive and breathe fire at the bottom of the ocean; electric attacks can be used without electrocuting the player character. At least in ''[=ORAS=]'' the player is given a scuba mask when they get dive. Though that still doesn't explain any non-Water-Types they may have...
* Your final fight with Wally is a lot more tragic when you realize how much he idolizes you and wishes to fight you. To make a comparison, it's the equivalent to a sick kid making a wish on the Make A Wish Foundation to play basketball with their favorite athlete... Except that said athlete doesn't hold back, use underhanded tactics and (possibly) smack talks and showboating. [[WhatTheHellPlayer How does victory taste]]?
** [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism On the other hand]], your battle with Wally is meant to show you how far he has come as a trainer; your going all out against him is a sign that [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments you're willing to reciprocate his feelings and passion.]] In the remakes, he even thanks you for not holding back against him.
* Once you rescue Professor Cozmo, your rival asks if you'd like to go back to Mauville City with them, and says that they intend to get their next badge from the Mauville Gym. Since you can't get past the boulders blocking Route 111 without Rock Smash, which you can't use unless you have the Mauville Gym Badge, how did your rival get past the boulders?
** The same way that all the other [=NPCs=] in the game can get places that they "shouldn't" be: GameplayAndStorySegregation.
* Starting in this generation, the games add a little blurb whenever you lose a fight. After blacking/whiting out, the player "scurries back to the Pokémon Center," while somehow preventing themselves from being attacked. How? It sounds like the user has some sort of medical condition that means they shouldn't be training Pokémon in the first place, because blacking out is another way of saying ''fainting'' and whiting out is usually caused by hypoxia[[note]]low blood oxygen levels[[/note]] and typically is followed by passing out. Even if they don't, the lack of oxygen means they'll probably be dizzy and unable to walk properly. It seems like they added the message to explain away some existing Fridge Logic (i.e., how they got to the Center in the first place), but it just opens up more questions.
** In medicine, a "blackout" is a form of amnesia which may be caused by a recent traumatic event and/or stress -- such as, say, losing a battle -- in which case one may forget everything that happened right before or right after the event, known as anterograde amnesia. Sounds familiar, huh?
* Chaz becoming Brawly's student, while a fun character moment, raises the question of how the two got to know each other, given that Chaz hasn't yet started challenging Gyms and doesn't have any connection to Dewford Town that we know about. While it's totally possible that Chaz simply approached the Fighting-type Gym Leader apropos of nothing to help him out with his Fighting-type Pokémon, and Brawly went with it, it's also wholly possible that Lisia introduced the two of them. Brawly is said to be friends with Steven, who in turn is close friends with Wallace, Lisia's uncle: it's likely that all three of them know each fairly well, which would give Lisia the connection necessary to ask Brawly to mentor her "rival."
** This seems more like FridgeBrilliance than FridgeLogic since there's a logical explanation there. That aside, though, considering that all of the gym signs have what types the leaders train on them, the fact that Brawly specializes in Fighting-types is probably common knowledge. It's really not ''that'' weird that Chaz would want to ask for advice for his Machoke from a Fighting specialist.

* Why did team Magma/Aqua use the Blue/Red Orb to summon Groudon/Kyogre? YMMV but to me, you would summon a land spirit with a red orb, and a sea spirit with a blue orb, and not the other way around.
** Notice that they were pissed off when they awoke. Groudon and Kyogre were likely enraged into appearing due to their opposing element's presence. Heck, each may have thought that the other was somewhere near.
*** True, but irrelevant. I asked why Magma/Aqua thought it was a good idea, not why Game Freak did.
** We have a trope for this: PlotInducedStupidity. Who said team Magma and Team Aqua were ''smart''? Their plan is to expand the land or ocean to have more space for their Pokémon. Maxie tries to erupt a volcano that's ''nowhere near the ocean'', and Archie apparently doesn't think that maybe because there is land, that people would get overcrowded ''quickly'' if not die out in the floods?
*** Not to mention, you surely can't expect an evil organization which is ultimately brought down by a tween to be savvy. Also to be fair, the Pokemon world is a bit of an [[SmallSecludedWorld isolated universe]], so poor understanding of elemental color coding tropes is to be expected.
** Actually, if you take a closer look, the orbs ''do'' correspond with the right Pokémon: Groudon has the Blue Orb because it has (sometimes hard to see) BLUE TronLines all over its body, whereas Kyogre has RED TronLines that correspond with the Red Orb. So, it's simple to say that each orb was the color of its corresponding Pokémon's inner aura.

They probably didn't draw new female triathlete sprites for ORAS, it's simple: due to time constraints. In fact, Pokémon games as of late have become infamous for having less content with every new game, likely owing to Game Freak's current insistence on yearly releases.

*** Say what? Voltorb Flip involved far more strategy than previous Game Corner games. Instead of mashing the A button at random at slots, you actually had to evaluate your odds, giving you more control over it making it easier and faster to get coins compared to the awful luck-based slots from older games -- and without having to savescum.

The Ralts, however, is at such a low level that it doesn't know any damaging moves yet. How is Wally supposed to level up his Pokémon if he can't have it fight or use it to catch other Pokémon to help gain experience?

** In ''Omega Ruby'' there's a random Magma grunt that will battle you during Episode Delta. If you talk to her after defeating her, she'll explicitly say that both Brendan/May and Zinnia are teenagers. [[spoiler: Once you find Zinnia in Maxie's room]], however, the grunt will dissapear, so you can't really check her dialogue again.
** Since we get to meet Zinnia's grandmother, but not her mother, I assumed that was the identity of the original Aster. It could also add a bit of drama in forcing Zinnia to assume her role earlier than expected, maybe she was too young to perform it to begin with, and her mother was the one who should be there instead.

* Let's say Zinnia is correct in Delta Episode in saying that teleporting the meteor away could possibly bring it to [[spoiler: an alternate universe version of Hoenn]] where they wouldn't be equipped to fend against a meteor crashing toward the planet. But what are the chances that it would end up going toward that exact space in the entire universe, at a time period and in a place where there are living beings that would worry about it? And on that subject, what makes her think that the meteor will end up in [[spoiler: another world]] in the first place? If the technology the Space Center people planned to use is based on the warp panels, it sounds more like the meteor would just be teleported somewhere else in space— and space is a pretty big place, too. You could actively be trying to teleport it to a specific planet and still be more than likely to fail. It really doesn't seem like a big enough concern to put a place we ''know'' would be destroyed in jeopardy.
** It makes a bit of sense when you consider that the device is called the Link Cable, which was used to trade Pokemon in the original Ruby and Sapphire to the other version. If we take all the little hints that both [[spoiler: Original Hoenn and Remake Hoenn are parallel universes, but also that Ruby and Sapphire are alternate universes as well, plus the hints that the alt universe it would hit is the original]] then it works out. Since the Link Cable was supposed to send Pokemon between Gen III Ruby and Sapphire, [[spoiler: then that's exactly what it would do, send the meteor to Gen III Ruby and Sapphire.]]

I mean for starters, Diancie are the only G6 Pokémon to get a mega evolution, and most likely the only ones that ever will. Second, they're rock/fairy type, which kinds fits more with mystical stones. Finally, they're based on the mythical carbuncle, which would have it make all the more sense to have that legendary have a strong connection with mega evolution than the space dragon whom, to coin ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' terminology, basically serves as an auspistice between two other godly beasts whose mere presence fuck up the world's weather severely.

* So the game corner is no more as of ORAS after years of causing controversy among critics and irritation among fans. My question is why just close it? Why not change it up to something a little more relevant to what came to most of out minds as kids when hearing anything along the lines of "game corner"? I'm talking instead of slot machines, why not minigames based on what one would play at carnivals and arcades as a means for collecting tokens that could then be exchanged for prizes? That was something that really bothered me when I first entered the game corner on a friend's copy of Emerald back in middle school. It's a game for kids anyway. They aren't into sloth machines. They wanna play whack-a-mole (or I guess whack-a-diglet in this case), the shooting gallery, or maybe that ball-rolling game where your goal is to get the ball to fall into the center hole. At least that's what this troper was expecting to see in there.
