* OlderThanTheyLook: While Ralphie is balding and overweight after 20 years, Red and Bill don't look like they've aged a day despite being older than him (since they use sprites based on those ''VideoGame/PokemonFireRedAndLeafGreen''.)

* {{Retirony}}: The cop at the end of the third episode goes on about how his wife is pregnant with their eighth child and how he's about to retire, just before he's crushed by the Machamp being ridden by Ralphie and Red's son.

--> Bill: "We need to send this psychopath to prison!"

* TakeThat: Ralphie is one to "genwunners," Pokemon fans who only know or care about the first generation and never bothered looking into anything after it.

* SmallNameBigEgo: His defeat at Red's hands fundamentally broke his understanding of his own self-worth.

* {{Retirony}}: The cop at the end of the third episode goes on about how his wife is pregnant again and he's about to retire, just before he's crushed by the Machamp being ridden by Ralphie and Red's son.

* DeathOfAChild: [[UncertainDoom Possibly]]. Ralphie accidentally throws Red's son in front of a truck while trying to kidnap him.

* PottyFailure: [[InsistentTerminology It's called a feeble bladder and its medical!]]

* TechnologyMarchesOn: In-universe. Ralphie is surprised by mega-evolutions, as they didn't have those when he was a kid and he didn't bother to improve his abilities at all.

* NoodleIncident: Red at one point stood on Mount Silver for a year strait.

* AndIMustScream: Ralphie's Metapod, which spent the last twenty years without evolving to his Butterfree form or even receiving medical treatment. He's shown to be covered in bruises and scars. The only move he can use is ''STRUGGLE'' and damages himself with the recoil of this. The worst part is that Ralphie could have taken him to a Pokecenter and instantly healed him free of charge at any time during the last two decades, but didn't.

* DeathOfAChild: [[AmbiguousSituation Possibly]]. Ralphie accidentally throws Red's son in front of a truck while trying to kidnap him.
