Line 15:
* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: Ein, Venus, and Lovrina. All of them evil to varying degrees but all of them ''so good looking.''
* [[Mis Blamed]]: Game Freak didn't work on these games; although a Nintendo and Pokémon-company owned franchise ''did''.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Orre's the only region to ''[[Pokémon (Franchise)/Nightmare Fuel|have its own section]]''.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: Fans were asking for a more plot-driven and [[Darker and Edgier]] take on the series since ''Gen I''. ''Colosseum'' comes out and what's it criticised for? "It's not like [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire (Video Game)|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]]". They were ''not'' nice to ''Colosseum''... however they lightened up around time for ''Mystery Dungeon'' and ''Ranger'', and ''Colosseum'' gets a ''lot'' more love nowadays for its innovation.

Line 26:
* [[Good Bad Bugs]]: ''Colosseum'' allows you to use any Ball an infinite number of times by using it on your first mon's turn and switching your item list around in the second - and yes, this includes the Master Ball. XD fixed this.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Dr. Ein crosses this just by ''inventing'' the Shadow Pokemon system (without a shred of remorse, and actually with a desire to ''improve'' it), and {{spoiler|Evice and Nascour}} just by leading the whole operation. Particularly {{spoiler|Evice since he oversaw all these despicable actions while posing as the friendly mayor of Phenac City.}}
* [[Play the Game Skip Thethe Story]]: Fans and former fans demanded a more plot-driven Pokémon game or for a [[Darker and Edgier]] entry to the series. They get ''Colosseum'' and...the responses are either "WTF where are the wilds?" "Why is this not like ''Pokemon Red or Blue''?", "Shadow Pokémon? WTF are they babbling on about I wanna EV train!", "Double Battles? I ''HATE'' Double Battles!", while the [[Darker and Edgier]] stuff was mostly completely ignored by the "Pokémon is kiddy" age-ghetto types.
** Although some people actually ''did'' pay attention. This is like the [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] of games in the franchise, after all.
* [[Scrappy Mechanic]]: Shadow Rush in ''Colosseum'' inflicted recoil damage, which the computer tended to use to deny a Snag by forcing a self KO (Which is really annoying with Colosseum's use of [[Save Points]] and leads to much back tracking). This is fixed in ''XD''. Now there are more Shadow moves than Shadow Rush and only Shadow Half (reduces the HP of ''all'' Pokémon on the field by half) and Shadow End (deal great damage but reduces the user's HP by half) have recoil (both appear only on end-game snag targets), but they have the same lethality as False Swipe, which benefits the player.
** Hyper Mode in all its ''lose a turn'' glory - especially if said Pokemon is low on health and likely to get [[K Od]] before being able to take the opponent down first.
** Can be seen as a blessing if you're interested in purifying all pokemon quickly; the pokemon at a cost of a lost turn will also gain happiness points, reducing the amount of time needed to purify it.
* [[That One Boss]]: Applicable to any and all bosses who own Legendary or third-stage/uber Pokémon. However, a rather early game, and ''very'' '''maddening''' example, is Dakim, who uses a '''brutally effective''' strategy to utterly ''destroy'' you: One Pokémon Protects (making itself immune to damage), the other uses [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Earthquake.]] Next turn, the roles switch. So you either eat Earthquakes until they run out of PP for Protect, or use somthing like Encore to screw their strategy up. [[It Got Worse|When you take into account]] that Dakim has [[Olympus Mons|Entei,]] and Entei is [[Playing Withwith Fire|Fire-type,]] which takes [[For Massive Damage|supereffective damage]] from [[Dishing Out Dirt|Ground-type]] attacks, [[Captain Obvious|which is what]] [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Earthquake]] [[Captain Obvious|is,]] [[That One Boss|well...]]
** Ein as well, given how the guy's team relies on Rain Dance, which boosts the Water moves of his, well, Water type Pokémon to insane levels while his others can use the powerful Thunder now with perfect accuracy.
