Most likely what differentiates this ''Pokémon'' webcomic from others are 3 things: its serious drawing style, blackHumor and great focus on the trainers (instead of the traditional focus on the creatures). This actually gives the comic series a great a [[Mood Dissonance]] with the usual ''Pokémon'' friendly and nice atmosphere, which all things considered ends up being quite enjoyable.

* [[Black Comedy]]: Makes up a good portion of the comic.

** Ruins of [https://web.archive.org/web/20131017061512/http://www.rarecandytreatment.com/comics/961967/ruins-of-alph/ Alf].
* [[Cult]]: One comic features one that worships Missingno.
* [[Deconstruction]]: A lot of dark or silly things in ''Pokémon'' are analyzed. For instance, one Hypno with "Insomnia" will be doomed to sleep-less life.
** Similarly, breeding Pokemon until the one with [[Min-Maxing|just the right nature]] leads to [https://web.archive.org/web/20131021032023/http://www.rarecandytreatment.com/comics/950442/the-breeders-dilemma/ massive ecological upheaval.]

* [[Power Incontinence]]: Abomasnow's hailstorm.
* [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs]]: Machamp can throw a thousand punches in half a minute. Too bad the Pokedex says it should be able to do it in ''two seconds''.

* [[The Sleepless]]: Hypno.
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: Alakazam can beat a computer at chess and solve a [[Rubiks Cube]] in seconds. Ask it to learn a fifth move, however...
