Added DiffLines:
* BankruptcyBarrel: Drownsuguy wears a barrel that resembles this, especially when combined with its gaunt appearance.
Added DiffLines:
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Par for the course in ''Pokémon'', Dragon-types tend to vary fairly wildly in design and capabilities. Special mention goes to the Rock/Dragon fossil Pokémon Anomully, which is a fish that attempted to grow into a dragon prematurely with... [[BodyHorror unexpected results]].
* OurCryptidsAreMoreMysterious: Drownsuguy is not based on any one cryptid, but rather the general concept of European lake monsters with unusual names. It also serves as a UniqueEnemy in Celadon's small pond[[note]]the one where Grimer can be found in vanilla[[/note]] and has a weird, vague Pokédex entry that encourages the reader to [[SchmuckBait look a little closer into the water for hidden kingdoms]], [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial definitely not leaving you open to getting drowned by Drownsuguy]].

Deleted line(s) 92 (click to see context) :
* GhostTown: While training on Route 45, you'll likely come across an abandoned, ruined town with a sign that had become too faded to read. Entering the sole house and reading the [[ApocalypticLog diary]] reveals that the town used to have an observatory. As you go through the house's basement, it slowly becomes [[OminousVisualGlitch more and more glitchy]] and [[MindScrew distorted]], until you arrive at the same house with the same diary, with the eerie addition of "[[WhamLine Won't you join us?]]". You are then transported to an illusory version of the town during better times, and re-entering the house lets you catch Andromega, the (probable) culprit behind the town's destruction. As you say goodbye to the town, its true name is revealed: Thismia Town, where the stars always shine.

** The early-game birds (Porceling, Hoatot, and Qwail) get their Flying-type moves slightly later compared to the vanilla games' birds. This is to reduce the EarlyGameHell players who pick Cigerillar go through, as the tobacco caterpillar is quadruple-weak to Flying.
Added DiffLines:
* CharacterNameLimits: Being a ROM Hack of ''Pokémon Crystal'', it retains the game's 10-character limit. This is most noticeable with the Fire starter Scorchoppr, similar to Feraligatr from vanilla. This also resulted in Draining Kiss being rendered as DRAININGKISS in-game.
Added DiffLines:
** While Earthquake itself wasn't nerfed, its distribution is more conservative compared to the vanilla games, and its TM cannot be found until the player reaches Kanto. Similar to Surf, this is due to the move's high power, lack of drawback, and strong attacking type.
Added DiffLines:
* NoSmoking: Surprisingly averted a number of times throughout the game.
** The Cigerillar line is explicitly based on cigarettes, and tobacco in general, combined with the life cycle of a moth. The final evolution, Okamikaze, learns [[PlayingWithFire Flamethrower]] via level up (despite being quadruple weak to fire), and has a SecretArt in the form of Vapor Pulse, which is detailed under SecondFaceSmoke.
** Not only is the original Japanese sprite for the Fisherman restored (which depicts them smoking cigarettes), but they receive new overworld sprites that show them with cigarettes in their mouths.

Added DiffLines:
* SecondFaceSmoke: The tobacco-based Okamikaze's SecretArt is Vapor Pulse, which essentially weaponizes this trope. The move hits twice and has a chance to inflict Poison on the target.
