History YMMV / PokemonInsurgence

** Some lines of dialogue are also so self-aware to the point they become this, like Jaern referring to himself as a "ChaoticGood" character, and Persephone referring to things as outright being "edgy". Another instance happens when Audrey literally calls the protagonist a "special snowflake".

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:

** Damian. He messes up and gets taken hostage by cultists who threaten to kill him, Nora goes off at him after hearing the prophecy, then he gets [[spoiler:abducted by Malde and turned into another half-Deoxys being, and ''then'' he discovers that Audrey is his mother... seconds before Kyogre kills her.]]

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
** One book in the Utira Library is titled: "Guide to Giving Your Pokémon a Better Home," by "[[BlatantLies Definitely Not a Team Rocket Member]],".

** Both the Dark and Traditional storylines get accused of this; the attempt at being DarkerAndEdgier sometimes desceneded into 'Edgelord' territory at some points, to the point the developer eventually ''added the option of a LighterAndSofter mode''. However, for those who like the Dark storyline, Traditional can seem forcefully silly and nonsensical in comparison, with some claiming it makes less sense.

* HarsherInHindsight: [[spoiler:Zenith's ultimate plan involves fabricating an epidemic and treating people with "vaccines" meant to mind-control them. While it's already a heinous plan, the whole thing feels eerily similar to what many a conspiracy theorist and anti-vaxxer would be claiming about the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic much later.]]

** The Champion, [[spoiler:Reukra]], takes it UpToEleven, especially during your final battle with him. [[spoiler:He leads with an Armored Tyranitar that has Sand Stream, meaning its defenses will go up by 25 percent, so special Fighting type moves wouldn't be able to KO it easily. He has a good number of Deltas and legendaries as well as a Mega Flygon that can run through your team if you're not prepared. Worst of all is his Armored Delta Volcarona. It has the Dark/Poison typing making it only weak to Ground; but it also has the ability Levitate to avoid its only weakness. And like the Elite Four, his team is at the same level as your highest level Pokémon.]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: The game has LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, so naturally a few interesting ones have been pushed to the wayside. Damian is just one example -- he has little to no role in the story aside from "rival who carries the IdiotBall", and he disappears from the plot entirely between [[spoiler:Audrey's defeat at Maelstrom 9]] and the postgame, with little to no exploration about how he feels about [[spoiler:his mother being a cult leader or his Deoxys infection]].

* UnfortunateCharacterDesign: [[https://wiki.p-insurgence.com/images/archive/0/08/20170817020329%21105_1.png Mega Marowak]] combined with the spirit of their deceased mother, gaining the Ghost sub-type as it wields a mighty both hammer/scythe... except the placement of the weapon, plus the fact that only the head of said weapon has a ghostly glow (thus making it look disconnected from the rest of the weapon), instead makes it looks like there's a giant bone protrusion eerily floating in front of Mega Marowak's crotch for some reason. This may be why Mega Marowak has been given a [[https://wiki.p-insurgence.com/images/0/08/105_1.png redesign for the next update]].
