* HarsherInHindsight: Tommy's father losing him while dangling off the edge of a helicopter seemed like cartoonish buffoonery in 1998. Nowadays, it brings to mind when Music/MichaelJackson hung his then-infant son over a balcony five years later.

* {{Squick}}: In the original Japanese version, Tommy insults Misty by making an inappropriate request regarding her chest, prompting the moment where she hits him in the head. Understandably, this was changed in the English dub where he asks if she's a Pokemon.

** Tommy asks Misty, and later his mother if he can drink milk from their breasts. Now you know why Tommy's father opens his shirt upon their reunion. Good luck getting that image out.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: Tommy's appearance as a baby in a flashback should have been cute, but the execution is mildly unsettling thanks to Tommy's head being ''way'' too big for his tiny baby body.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Tommy's dad tends to attract two extreme reactions: those who like him find his parenting to be so bad it loops around to being darkly hilarious, while others simply find his parenting terrible and idiocy annoying. His willingness to put his life on the line to protect Tommy from Team Rocket is another point in his favor, though for his detractors it doesn't make up for the sheer carelessness he's shown beforehand.
* CrossesTheLineTwice: For those who don't mind Tommy's father, his cartoonishly awful parenting is morbidly funny.



* TheScrappy: Good luck finding anyone who sympathizes with Tommy's father, who's stupidity and negligence led directly to their infant son's disappearance. He doesn't conduct much better in the search for him, showing what are at best, ''questionable'' parenting methods.



* UncannyValley: Tommy's dad is this in spades. Also offputting is Tommy's appearance as a baby in one flashback.

to:

* TearJerker: A mild one, but the sight of the horribly injured baby Kangaskhan and its agonized reaction to Brock's Super Potion can definitely pull on the heartstrings.

* ColbertBump: This episode almost certainly gained more infamy after Gar1onriva (Pokesins) thoroughly panned it in his review of it.
