I think the best Pokemon troll was FireRed/LeafGreen where they not only put in the infamous truck from the original games they actually put an (mediocre) item under it :allears:

Followed closely by one of the fourth generation games where someone in-game trades you a Pokemon that evolves by trading... holding an item that prevents evolution.

See this is why I love Jak X. In the tutorial, Keira's telling you the basic controls and says something like "and when you die blah blah". I got all offended at her assumption, then I realized the point is you will explode multiple times per race in increasingly creative ways as you progress through the game. But if you get good enough at the controls and are smart at which pickups to use and when, you can leave the NPCs in the dust. I've won with more than a 30 second lead before. The best part is if you can manage to drop a slick of burning oil across the finish line and get to watch every NPC explode as they try to finish. It's just a never-ending rain of car parts. :allears:
The troll of Jak X was that it didn't loving work on a lot of PS2s :argh:

Also the first part of the final boss in Jak 3 where you have to shoot a bunch of glowing spots on the boss but they force you to use a lovely car with a fixed gun instead of the awesome one with the rotating turrets and also put some of the spots in positions where you have to drive head-on at the boss to shoot them.

Persona 4 does this, of course (Persona 3 does as well, but I think 4 is more noticeable). I'm still really weirded out when the chick I'm romancing keeps just calling me senpai.
To be honest, the canonical name of the Persona 4 protagonist is "Yu". so that would be pretty strange in its own right.

You can also go through a really complex set of evolutions to turn into a human.

Humans suck compared to pretty much anything else you can be by the end of the game.
Humans aren't bad per se, statwise they're very good. It's just that they're really expensive to heal by evolving and they're the only creatures who have to eat seperately from attacking

There's also the "arms and legs" section which is used all of once in the entire game I think.

My favorite troll from a game developer is now the fact that Cloud made into Super Smash Bros. but wasn't able to get in to Playstation All Stars
Mine is that they used Cloud instead of a character from one of the games that was actually on a Nintendo system.

Gate of Firmament deliberately hides tree monsters among regular trees in the scenery (this isn't a coincidence, pretty much all of the ones I encountered were like this. They're a lot harder to see when you're going the other direction, I specifically sought this one out for screenshot purposes).
