Pokémon

  • This game series introduces level 1 Pokémon, despite having not experienced this situation until the introduction of Generation IV.
  • Shedinja has more than one HP, even at level 1. Thia may be due to the standard A attack doing at least 1 HP damage.
  • The Player is only allowed to have 3 Pokémon at one time in his or her party, with 1 able to become a member of the team, either temporarily due to missions, or until the player release them, in which they want to be the player's friend.
  • The Player is only allowed to evolve the Pokémon at a specific area. Even so, it doesn't make the player any stronger in stats.

Status Ailments

  • Paralysis eventually goes away unlike Pokémon in the regular games where they cannot heal without any status healing moves or abilities.
  • Confusion doesn't disappear until after walking around for a while.

Damage

  • Sonicboom does 55 damage.
  • Depending on the amount of HP it has, Pokémon with the moves Selfdestruct or Explosion may not faint. The moves will, however, clear a pathway if there are walls within the battle area.
