** The new lore is very divisive among people, if Reddit is any indication. Some people believe that the whole Serial Killer made TPP too dark to be shared with their friends and family on social networks. Others say that, despise being a side lore, we are still playing Pokémon, a happy, colorful world, and some are trying to twist it to live their juvenile fantasy. Not to mention the TooBleakStoppedCaring brought on by having a sociopathic protagonist with none of the sympathetic traits of even [[LetsPlay/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystal AJ]].

** As the clock approached midnight on the 18th day and the countdown to ''LetsPlay/TwitchPlaysPokemonFireRed'' neared zero, some comments in the stream suggested [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask playing the "Song of Time" to get three more days]]. The admin has since granted the stream three more days to complete ''Emerald''.

* {{Sequelitis}}: This playthrough was noticeably less popular than Red and Crystal, especially by [[EndingFatigue the end]], because not as many people are familiar with Gen 3 compared to Gens 1 and 2. Additionally, most of the hype and novelty surrounding ''LetsPlay/TwitchPlaysPokemonRed'' has subsided, resulting in a much lower viewcount. Some see returning to Kanto with [[LetsPlay/TwitchPlaysPokemonFireRed FireRed]] as an attempt to WinBackTheCrowd.

* DifficultySpike: Compared to the previous generation. Since Democracy was disabled, progress was much harder, making this generation closer to ''Red'' in terms of difficulty, and just like in ''Red'' the strongest member of the party was released. In addition, this generation is plagued by the curse of Double Battles. At least the PC is somewhat easier to use, and though the starter was released a [[KillThemAll mass extinction event like Bloody Sunday]] never occurred.

* SequelDifficultySpike: Whilst the mob were able to defeat the Elite Four in ''Red'' and ''Crystal'' within 24 hours each, it took them almost a week and '''103''' attempts this time, due to improved AI, team rosters, and team flexibility.
** ''Everything'' about this run was harder. No individual trainer has defeated the Mob more frequently than Drake, who had a 32-24 record against A...but as you can tell from the fact that he still lost to her 24 times and he's the last member of the Elite Four, the Champion was no slouch, either--his 23 wins over A is tied for third. With Glacia in this run.[[note]]Caitlin was 25-8 against Jimmy C in ''Black''.[[/note]] And fifth place belongs to Wattson, the Mauville Gym Leader, with a 22-1 record (tied with Phoebe in ''Alpha Sapphire''), the most of any non-Elite Four member. And speaking of Phoebe, she beat A 19 times, which is 8th-most of any trainer (as of the end of Season 3). That's five of the top eight if you're keeping track.
*** Need more evidence? Every host thus far has managed to get their first badge on Day 1 except one. [[note]]The Gamecube games and ''Sun'' don't have "badges" in the traditional sense, though A7 and Nigel both managed to beat the first Gym Leader equivalent by the end of Day 1. ABC defeated no "bosses" on Day 1, however, making him potentially another example.[[/note]] It wasn't Abe, who was slower to ''every other major milestone''. It was A, who got her first badge at 1d 5h 42m--over a quarter of a day later than any other host. (Napoleon was the next slowest, at 23h 8m.)

Around the time of 19d 17h 41m, under Democracy Mode, after setting Brick Break as the into the first slot move in Hariyama's moveset menu for strategic and practical purposes, the chat actually took the time to turn on something as minor/inconsequential (arguably) as the ''battle animations'' of the game, serving as a testament to the game's terrific graphics.
