** One of the most blatant (and non-filler) examples: In Hoenn, Ash enters a PokéRinger event in which flying Pokemon compete to collect rings and place them on goal posts. Ash uses his Taillow, a bird Pokemon, which evolves during the competition and surprises its opponent by hitting the ring onto the goal with its wing, rather than carrying it in its beak. An episode that aired about five years later repeated this plot exactly; just replace Hoenn with Sinnoh. Both episodes even use the ''exact same background music'' during their respective climaxes. |

** The series in general is a bit weird about this, since despite the recycled plots, there's still quite a bit of continuity, with references to episodes that aired over ''ten years'' prior being made. It gives the impression that the writers are trying to have their cake and eat it too. |

* ''[[Waiting in the Summer]]'' is a [[Spiritual Successor]] of ''[[Please Teacher]]'', almost a walking carbon copy even. Proving why this trope exists, ''far'' more people are comparing it to the more recent ''[[Ano Hana]]'', despite the only similarities between the two series being they're about a group of high-schoolers, there's romance and the same director is involved. |
