Pokéballs are hard to come by for some reason.


* CommonplaceRare: Pokéballs. No, not the much better Great Ball and Ultra Balls, but the ''regular variant''. Those five balls you get at the start of the game? Have fun using them. Normal Pokéballs are only sold at Flamerny City Pokéball Factory, which is in the ''Lauren Region''. Central City doesn't even sell the common balls in their Poké Mart, while every other accessible Poké Mart either sells Great Balls and better, or only have the rarer ''Premier Balls'' being sold.



* WelcomeToCorneria: A variation in a series where [[TalkToEveryone talking to everyone in a town would lead you to what's next]]. While a bunch of NPC characters that aren't important to the story do have something unique to say to you at times, several NPC characters share the same messages with other NPC characters, ''[[UpToEleven even if they are right next to each other]]''. This leads to some unique dialogue from some NPC characters with the rest of them either sharing the same dialogue.
