Line 49:
** Nearly every [[Joke Character]] in Pokemon has some sort of strange gimmick. Chatot interacts with the DS microphone, Smeargle [[Mega Manning|can learn any move in the game through Sketch]], Plusle and Minun have an interaction in double battles, etc. Sometimes a gimmick allows one of these to be a [[Lethal Joke Character]]; most of the time, they are stuck being the [[Tier-Induced Scrappy]].
** Due to the different varieties of play, however, even Pokemon's Joke Characters frequently get their day in the sun. A few of them (notably Spinda, Ditto, Farfetch'd, and Smeargle) are highly useful for [[Hot Skitty-On-Wailord Action|breeding purposes]] (thereby making already-useful [[Mons]] even better), and others are highly competent at Contests or the Pokethlon.
* ''Castlevania Lament of Innocence'' and ''Castlevania Curse of Darkness'' featured a secret character named Pumpkin. In [[Lo I]], Pumpkin becomes playable after beating the game as Joachim: his max HP is lower than Leon's, but he starts with far more MP, hearts, higher defense and the Vampire Killer whip. He also starts with all special attacks and posesses an unique subweapon that he can't replace that also posesses a random assortment of other subweapons' [[Evolving Attack|Item Crashes]]. He's also a much smaller target and thus he has an easier time avoiding some enemy attacks. In
* [[Gon]] in ''[[Tekken]] 3''; he was a character in a long-running manga making a cameo appearance. Also arguably Dr. Boskonovitch, one of the few non-boss characters not to appear in any future games in the series.
** In the case of Dr. Boskonovitch, the major problem was working out how to use him, given that he seemed to spend a lot of time falling over and getting beaten to death. He became much more powerful once you'd got the hang of him, as he was quite awkward for normal characters to fight.
