* [[Fan Dumb|Fan]] [[Exaggerated Trope|Utter Stupidity]]: Rampant on ''all'' sides of the matter concerning this game.

* [[Memetic Mutation]]: A common photoshop deduced the shaded picture for the first teaser to be [http://thespindash.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/pikachu-sombraro.jpg Pikachu (wearing a sombrero)]{{Dead link}}.
