** The game's [[Big Bad]] {{spoiler|Lusamine}} is, as far as villains go, one of the series' best-received antagonists to date, but {{spoiler|as a ''character'' she's rather divisive, especially the way her character's arc ends with the possibility of her redeeming herself being left up in the air that's torn the fanbase in two. Some believe that she's ultimately a [[Tragic Villain]] who lost sight of her good qualities due to Nihlego's influence and deserves a second chance, while others view her as an [[Complete Monster|irredeemable monster]] for [[Kick the Dog|how she treated the likes of Lillie, Gladion, Type:Null, and Nebby]], and wish she died or was abandoned in Ultra Space.}}

** Alolan Forms in general. Are they a cool addition to the series that allows old Pokemon to feel fresh due to receiving total revamps in designs, typings, stats, and abilities? Or an unnecessary addition that wastes space that could have been used for full-fledged new Pokemon? And that's not even going into personal taste as far as designs go.

* [[Complete Monster]]: {{spoiler|In ''Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon'', Ghetsis from an [[Alternate Reality]] is made to join [[Legion of Doom|Team Rainbow Rocket]], but he soon desires to [[The Starscream|use Giovanni as a pawn]] so that he can have trainers and Pokemon separated from each other in all worlds of all realities, all to consolidate more power for himself so that he may become [[A God Am I|supreme ruler above all of existence.]] [[Sore Loser|Refusing to accept defeat when he's beaten in battle]], Ghetsis backhands Lillie and [[Dirty Coward|threatens to murder her by his own hand]] [[Sadistic Choice|if the Player Character doesn't drop their Poke' Balls and surrender to him]], again showing what a dangerous individual he is and just how low he's willing to stoop in order to get what he wants. It's telling that in a game where all the [[Big Bad]]s from the past 20 years of the core games series' history are featured, Ghetsis is the only one to display no redeeming qualities. the only one to not accept defeat after losing a battle to [[The Hero]], the only one to bluntly attempt homicide on an innocent child, and the only one to be purely self-serving in his lust for power.}}

* [[Demonic Spiders]]: Thanks to the S.O.S mechanic, just about any wild Pokemon has the potential to become this: at any point in a battle, a Pokemon that has not been knocked out can call an ally Pokemon for help, which leaves your Pokemon on the field to fend for itself against two Pokemon at once. Even worse is that it's all too common for the survivor of the pair to summon ''another'' ally as soon as their backup dies, leading to what can be a cycle of frustration and annoyance to those looking to catch a tough rare Pokemon. And may god have mercy on any [[Self-Imposed Challenge|Nuzlockers who run afoul of this mechanic.]]

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Despite her minor role in the grand scheme of things, Wicke of the Aether Foundation received an ''explosion'' of fanart from the fans who loved her for being simultaneously [[Big Beautiful Woman|adorable and attractive.]] It helps that in the game proper, {{spoiler|she's basically the Aether Foundation's [[Token Good Teammate.]]}}
