Small Name, Big Ego: Ralphie's defeat at Red's hands fundamentally broke his understanding of his own self-worth. What he insists was an epic battle is remembered (if at all) as Red beating some kid who peed his pants upon losing. |

Technology Marches On: In-universe. Ralphie is surprised by mega-evolutions, as they didn't have those when he was a kid and he didn't bother to improve his abilities at all. Red's son also shows him a Ride Pager. |

Downer Ending |
| Pokémon Ralphie (Web Animation) / int_4e3d253b |
comment |
Downer Ending: After Todd calls him out for his complete incompetence as a Pokémon trainer, Ralphie decides to focus on something he's actually good at: killing people. So he shoves Red off the roof of his skyscraper (which Red somehow survives) before he's finally arrested and sent to prison, where he's been telling his story to another inmate, who helps Ralphie finally realize what a monumental asshole he was. But just as he decides to turn his life around, he's unceremoniously killed by Peanut Butter as he busts Rusty out. There's also no indication that Todd won't be stuck as a Blob Monster. However, Ralphie's death could be averted after Peanut Butter eventually undoes all the damage he causes, making this more of a Bittersweet Ending. Also possibly averted: considering Ralphie is a psychopath and murderer, even if he does recognize that in the end, it's arguably good that he is killed at the end of the series. |

Idiot Hero: While calling him a hero might be a stretch, Ralphie absolutely is an idiot. He apparently didn't graduate High School (the diploma on his wall says GED APPLICANT), and it seems to be because Ralphie isn't even trying to improve himself or learn new things. |

comment |
And I Must Scream: Ralphie's Metapod, which spent the last twenty years without evolving to his Butterfree form or even receiving medical treatment. He's shown to be covered in bruises and scars. The only move he can use is Struggle and he damages himself with the recoil from this move. The worst part is that Ralphie could have taken him to a Pokémon Center and instantly healed him free of charge at any time during the last two decades, but didn't. |

Happily Married: Red. When bragging about his life in a high school reunion, he states that he is married to a "super hot wife" and that he has "two actual genius children". He also considers this to be his biggest accomplishment; even bigger than becoming Pokémon Master of the world and starting a wildly successful business. |

Retirony: The cop at the end of the third episode goes on about how his wife is pregnant with their eighth child and how he's about to retire, just before he and his partner are crushed by the Machamp being ridden by Ralphie and Red's son. The four cops in the S.S. Anne barricade were having a group retirement party that night, and Detective Squirtle took them because he "thought it would be an easy bust." They all die when Ralphie rams his car into the barricade. |
