I just fought this golfer in Ultra Moon and noticed that he stands on a cliff far from where the player walks, making talking to him after the battle impossible. After checking I also found out that he wasn't in SM, just USUM.

What other NPCs have strange teams, battle conditions, or changes between games?

God, what a SOUL ‘Mon. I feel like it could’ve been really fun with Meteor Beam. Honestly I just love any Pokémon with a sort of customisation, which is why I love Florges too.

Yeah the first one is the 3-Star Restaurant, given it's high-level and the second one is the 2-Star Restaurant (I know cause it's a really good way to gain levels in no-Exp. Share runs).

2-Star is well worth your time in the main game cause of the Good Exp from the Pokemon in it, all Pokemon are Level 31 and it's right around the time your Pokemon are ~Level 36.
Battle 1 - Mantine, Emolga, Sigilyph
Battle 2 - Dugtrio, Pidgeot, Shuckle
Battle 3 - Zangoose, Zangoose, Zangoose
Battle 4 - Simisage, Simisear, Simipour

I think the Minior's are fitting, this is like with Juggler's using ball-shaped Pokemon, the Minior are meant to be a representation of Golf Balls.

There's an NPC in G/S where everyone in his team ends with -king, so for the localization, they replaced his (overleveled) Magikarp with a (normal) Seaking.

Great way to farm exp and money since the beginning, you just need to find her again in the main game wild area once you defeat her. She can respawn in several fixed places so it's not that hard, you'll probably end up finding other useful NPCs like the one who trade you all kind of pearls for watts while looking for her.

Karate family Samuel and Guy have weird stat distributions that are alluded to in their dialogue. Guy calls Samuel his master despite Samuel being a preschooler. The thing is, Samuel and Guy's pokemon actually have evs and ivs that match their claims.
All of the black belts in USUM have 31 attack ivs and adamant natures with black belt Guy being the exception. His machop has 31 hp ivs and 252 hp evs instead of being invested in attack like the other blackbelts. Samuel, the preschooler, instead has a machop with black belt like stats with an adamant nature, 31 ivs in every stat, and 252/252 in attack and speed.

In RS there's a couple named "Lois & Hal"
Probably a localizer on the team liked Malcolm in the Middle and named them as a subtle reference. (This was back in 2002-2003 after all)

However in Emerald, they're renamed for no reason, even though other trainers kept their names.

Quoted By:

In DPPt, there were four Trainers that referenced movie characters (Butler, Diane, Rebecca and Lizabeth) but the localizers didn't care enough to give them correct names (the Japanese names match the movies, though).

I wonder what will happen to them in BDSP. But I guess ILCA doesn't know and Masuda doesn't care, so they will be either (unintentionally) left intact or (also unintentionally) butchered by giving them different, random Pokemon or something like that.
