## Multi-chapter

* **The Multiverse**:
	+ The *Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire* chapters confirm in their versions of the Delta Episode arc that, at the very least, each of the seasons exist within their own multiverse. These pair of seasons specifically have Zinnia discuss two different realities: their own timeline and one where Mega Evolution was never discovered (as a result of AZ's ultimate weapon *not* firing three millennia prior), which is the universe where Chapters 2-5 take place.
		- In the *Omega Ruby* season only, Spirit!Juliana then reveals another world were Pokémon don't even exist... and ends up revealing the reason why she became a Guardian Protector in the process. Naturally, Brendan is left unable to process what was just revealed.
	+ The *Sun and Moon* seasons go a step further in their own side-series. Salon Maiden Anabel from *Emerald* appears in an extensive role, only it's heavily implied to be the original timeline incarnation of said character. They're established to be a "Faller," a person who has inadvertently traveled through an Ultra Wormhole due to emitting a strange energy that attracts Ultra Beasts, extradimensional Pokémon hailing from Ultra Space, coming out the other side now stuck in this new dimension and with few memories of their previous life. While not through the same exact methods, a number of characters in following seasons (including Rei and Akari) also end up having their own amensia-inducing trips through space-time that gets them stranded in other universes or time periods.
	+ The *Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon* seasons established the infinite multiverse by having the Rainbow Rocket arc revolve around Team Rainbow Rocket, a Legion of Doom of every previous antagonist in the series and led by Giovanni, with said villains hailing from alternate worlds where the Big Bads won due to their respective protagonists not even existing to oppose them.
* **Yandere**:
	+ Akari in some animated scenes during the Legends: Arceus run where Rei is the protagonist.
	+ Morgan, the eldest sister of the Battle Maison from the X and Y seasons, serves to be one in contrast to Nita's deredere, Evelyn's kuudere, and Dana's tsundere. While she's the most patient and rational of the Maison sisters, she also displays some possessive tendencies, such as contemplating the idea of Calem/Serena being permanently outfitted in a uniform and living at the Maison for the rest of his/her life. Morgan says she's joking, but she seems so enamored by the idea that she's lost in thought thinking about it. Also, while she has an overall calm demeanor, Morgan's sisters imply that she's extremely frightening if she ever loses her temper.
	+ In the Scarlet season, when Florian has to leave for Blueberry Academy, Nemona is revealed to have become a platonic version of this, refusing to let him go forever. Luckily, she gets told that he will return to Naranja Academy once the exchange program ends, causing her to calm down.

### Legends: Arceus

* **Doomed By Canon**: The two seasons adapting the game do this in a particular way. Considering that the events of the seasons happen centuries before the ones of the others, you know from the start that every character will die and that some of their descendants will become criminals... except for Ingo, who is revealed to have been sent back to the past at some point prior to the events of the story. His fate after the events of PLA and if he ever made it back to the present, however, is unknown.

## Chapter 8: Harmony and Justice

* **Breaking Old Trends**: Is the only chapter to be fully animated.
* **"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot**: If Juliana had called the other Guardian Protectors to help her, she wouldn't have died and thus have easily defeated the Void Queen, and the events of this chapter would have never happened. On the other hand, that would mean there would be no Magic Gems, and Juliana would have replaced Kimberly as the main heroine of the Violet season...
