A common way to produce [[Plot Coupons]] of the '[[Gotta Catch Em All]]' variety is for the [[Precursors]] to split a powerful [[MacGuffin]] that was used to defeat the bad guy into three or more parts and, yes, distribute them across the world on a vague premise of it being "[[Holding Back the Phlebotinum|too dangerous to ever use again]]". Then, when the bad guy raises its head [[Exty Years From Now|Exty Years Later]] (and it always does), the heroes must set out to reassemble said [[MacGuffin]].
