* BrokenBase: RJ's [[https://www.deviantart.com/arvalis/art/Gengar-334476729 Gengar]] line. Comments are split regarding his re-imagining of Gengar, Haunter and Ghastly as bats who merely have a ghostly appearance. Some argue that it was a poor choice, or don't like that he took the supernatural element out in favor of realism as they're supposed to be Ghost Pokemon -- while others counter that his re-imagining was creative and clever, and that the reason he took away the supernatural element is because they were supposed to be realistic, as that is the entire point of his aforementioned project ''Realistic Pokemon''.

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

* UncannyValley: Some of RJ's Pokemon look really disturbing when brought into reality, but Mewtwo stands out the most here, as its origin story makes it very likely that RJ went for this effect ''intentionally'' with it.

No please. Not another "the whole damn thing" Word Cruft again.


* CreepyAwesome: Arguably ''all'' of the Pokémon. They all look like horrifying beasts, monstrosities, or mutations... but they also look ''exactly'' like you'd expect them to in real life, and it's just plain fascinating to see the level of detail.
** For a more specific example, [[https://www.deviantart.com/arvalis/art/What-Lies-in-the-Cerulean-Caves-447504505 this Mewtwo picture]] has been praised for being a perfect representation of what it'd actually be like to run into the "world's most powerful Pokémon" while you're alone in a dark cave. It's also absolutely terrifying, of course.

** His Dragonite (basically just a giant Axolotl colored orange and with tiny wings) has often been pointed to by detractors as being "uninspired". [[CreepyCute Some fans find it adorable anyways.]]

** After discussing its mythical status at length, he wraps up his entry on Celebi by saying this: "When examined closely, one will see that Celebi is [[SophisticatedAsHell baller as frick]]."

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: RJ adds some humor to several Pokémon entries:
** "Turtwigs are notoriously sensitive and the playful jaunts of a young Growlithe will make them stupid baby cry."
** After delving into the Eeveelutions and describing them pretty well, RJ gets to Glaceon and has this tidbit to say: "Glaceon is dumb."
