* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: One of the more noted weakness of this set of games is that both the rival (who doesn't fully evolve his/her starter and is the only one who can't be battled infinitely) and the Aqua/Magma Bosses (who only use a mere three Pokémon, all of them ones that ''every one'' of their grunts use) are really pathetic compared to the rivals and evil team leaders in the rest of the series. ThemThankfully, this is more or less rectified in the remakes thanks to Brendan/May actually evolving their teams fully in Lilycove {{spoiler|and getting one last hoorah as the [[Post Final Boss]] complete with their Mega SharpedoEvolving starter!}} as well as Maxie and MegaArchie Cameruptadding respectivelya mayWeezing/Muk rectifyto this,their butteams onlyas timewell willas tellhaving access to Mega Evolution with their Camerupt and Sharpedo respectively.
** Wallace can fall under this in ''Emerald'' since his team of Water types can be easily countered, though he can still be a bit infuriating for some.
* [[Bragging Rights Reward]]: This generation started the trend of marking what ball you caught a pokemon in. So yes, if you catch a Legendary in a Poke Ball, everyone will know.
* [[Breather Boss]]: Tate and Liza are fairly easy in ''Ruby and Sapphire'', only having 2 Pokemon between them, both of which are easily taken down by Surf which is required to get to their Gym in the first place. In ''Emerald'' though, they really stepped up their game.
Line 12 ⟶ 13:
* [[Demonic Spiders]]: Whismur. WHISMUR used UPROAR! Half of your team's health meters are yellow (or possibly red) thanks to it doing a lot of damage. And if you're not careful, it can result in a couple Pokémon fainting.
* [[Disappointing Last Level]]: The last quarter of the game requires an immense amount of surfing. Hope you like [[Goddamned Bats|Tentacool and Wingull]] (Though lots of repels will certainly help).
* [[Discredited Meme]]: After the "Do you liek Mudkips?" meme came out in full force, a lot of people became sick of it pretty correctlyquickly.
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Sure, Archie and Maxie were some of the least openly-evil villain bosses to begin with, but some fans go even further and remove any traces of responsibility for their crimes from them. And then there's their underlings, who get this treatment as well despite being [[Psycho Supporter|Psycho Supporters]] or [[Jerkass|Jerkasses]].
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Mudkip, thanks to [[Memetic Mutation]]. [[Not Allowed to Grow Up|There are plenty of people that never evolve their Mudkip at all because of this.]]
