YMMV / Twitch Plays Pokémon Inverse White 2

• Crosses the Line Twice: Giving the nickname "COVID-19" to a Volcarona might not be seen as particularly funny. Trading that Voclarona to Yancy, the Implied Love Interest of the protagonist, just to be able to say that BOH LE canonically gave her COVID-19, on the other hand, is so awfully wrong that it loops back around to being hilarious.

• Fan Nickname:
  • ghycICEIV the Cinccino was often referred to as "Gunccino" due to its propensity to use multi-strike moves, most notably Bullet Seed, leading to jokes about it being a "chinchilla with a gun". Less commonly, some people also referred to it as "Ice" or "Ice the Fourth".
  • BOH LE's rival HughAXX was almost immediately nicknamed "Huge Axe" by players, which later came to contrast guns being seen as the former's weapons of choice.

• Improved Second Attempt: Having two Generation V runs back-to-back to take advantage of the Memory Link feature was attempted back in Season 8 with Randomized Black 2, which at the time turned out to be a highly divisive decision and contributed to the run going extremely poorly. By contrast, not only did Inverse White 2 not suffer from debuting during a time of high controversy^note Randomized Black and Radnomized Black 2 coincided with a period of time during which certain moderators and developers of the stream were the subject of severe accusations of inappropriate behaviour, which staff handled in a way that was deemed very unsatisfying by many; this, somewhat understandably, resulted in a notably toxic atmosphere within the community, but it was also announced in advance at the same time as Inverse White, and a short one-day break separated the two runs; this had the benefit of not having the second run come as an unpleasant surprise for those more interested in PBR than in runs, while also leaving players with some time to breathe between the two games, and despite some eventual Ending Fatigue during its last stretch, the result was a much better-received run overall.

• Memetic Badass: Cinccino was already regarded as quite a strong member of the team, thanks to its Normal-typing being very good in Inverse and its Skill Link ability giving all three of its multi-strike moves an effective base power of 125 with no significant drawback, with Bullet Seed in particular leading to jokes about it using a machine gun. But what really pushed it into Memetic Badass territory was how it single-handedly took down all six of Iris' Pokémon without taking any damage, effortlessly earning BOH LE the title of Champion on her very first attempt. And then, to push it even further, it managed to defeat the entire Pokémon League by itself, with BOH LE subsequently becoming the first TPP Host to enter the Hall of Fame with only one Pokémon on her team without resorting to healing, glitches, or debug menus.

• Memetic Mutation: Chinchilla with a gun^Explanation Cinccino knew three multi-strike moves, including Bullet Seed, which thanks to its Skill Link ability would always hit five times when used. This turned it into a surprising powerhouse, and led to many jokes about how it was actually wielding a machine gun.

• Unexpected Character: Out of all the characters appearing as Previous Player-Character Cameo, it's fair to say that the one nobody could have seen coming was ZZZZZZZ from PokéSus2, a joke hack themed around the "AMOGUS" meme from Among Us that only served as a minor three day-long intermission between PBR and Snakewood DX. Adding to the weirdness of the moment, it also stood out by using the Pokéstar UFO prop as his Trainer sprite, and the Pokéstar filming theme as his battle music.
