Favorite Hidden Mechanics/Dialog
Pokémon has always had insane, or mild, intentional and hidden features and dialogs a zubat of a trainer would miss, but due to years of research we've come to find facts like Masuda Method, though it's not so hidden now. But we've come to learn Pokémon encounters decrease on days of disasters in Diamond, Pearl, and Platnium, or that Clair will call you a cheater if you trade a dragons fang to your file to give her rather than the one from the Dragon's den. My personal favorite hidden mechanic is the alternate surfing pikachu sprites in Generation 1 and 2 if you use surf with a pikachu that has the move. I also find the dialog given by Laventon if you attempt to throw pokéballs at him in the catching tutorial to be funny.

In Galar’s Max Raid Battles, each wild Dynamax Pokémon has a specific move or two that it likes to use. Also, when the wild Pokémon nullifies stat changes and Abilities on your team’s side, it also nullifies its own lowered stats. But the Pokémon can’t negate suppress stat boosts and Abilities on the first turn, or if its shield disappeared earlier in the turn.
In other words, there’s more to Max Raid Battles than calling out your strongest Pokémon and hoping for the best!
Also, from the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series: Banana.

Actually, the stickers of Galar Pokémon in the player's room, and I think something the mum said imply that the player moved from Galar to go to the academy, so some people see that as the player trying to do the pose but failing.
So, while the SwSh protagonist can do the spin and pose perfectly, probably due to living in Postwick, the SV one tries and fails (probably because Sonia's book being in the academy means that the Galar postgame happened before this by a while, so Leon probably hasn't been champion for some time)
Why be a normal human when you can think too much about insignificant details in a kids' franchise.

@UnovanZorua that's what I love spending my free time doing, when I'm just doing nothing. Lol.
