Pokémon-X/YMMV

• Ass Pull - Rocky's "Random Attack"
  • The author has been better about that, either ignoring it completely or simply having it activate as a useless move.
  • With a bonus of adding variety instead of just abusing one strategy over and over again on Rocky when it's not an over-powered move, but not useless either.
• Author Gender Confusion - insists that Tabitha is female and launches a Take That against the manga readers that say otherwise, despite the fact that the games and anime also have him as male (the female name is a translation error of sorts.)
• Invincible Hero - Rocky. Recon even points out when Rocky is defeated in comic number 596 that it's the first time that this has ever happened. Yeah, 596. First time Rocky has ever lost.
  • It's a little bit better in that Brendan does actually use strategy in his fights and not just "Rocky's gonna win this for me", and his loss is based on Brendan's mistakes.
  • Also, #596 may seem extremely far into the story, but it isn't. In fact, Rocky's first loss was fairly early on into the journey, in a battle against the third gym leader, Wattson.
• Jumping the Shark - Some fans think that the current Monty storyline involving his string of curbstompings coupled with unusually long intervals between updates may be the comic's shark-jumping moment.
  • And in the final part of the storyline, we discover Monty is an ALIEN!
  • Mind you, the fact that Brendan decided to punch Monty in the face instead of battling him was very well received indeed.
