Generation 2021 is a Pokémon "training fic", written by
That is, if you can really consider it a training fic at all. The characters get into so much trouble in the meantime, there's almost no mention of their actual training in the story itself.

{{tropelist}}
* [[A Boy and His X|A Boy And His Mons]]: What did you expect? This is Pokémon we're talking about here!
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Averted for humans, but the Pokémon are a different story. Here we have a Skarmory named Telia, a Swellow named Oiseau, and a Pidgeotto named Clyde. And that's just the birds.
* [[A Good Name for
* [[All Men Are Perverts]]: Specifically, Hikaru's Bayleef, who, when instructed to wrap his vines around Rachel's waist to help her climb a mountain, tries snaking them a bit... [[Naughty Tentacles|further down]]. (Considering that this is a legitimate move in the Pokémon games, this may also be a case of [[Power Perversion Potential]].)
* [[Anti
* [[Baleful Polymorph]]: a variant; Hikaru is forced into a Garchomp costume - [[Becoming the Costume|that grants him the exact same powers as a real Garchomp]] - against his will.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Gamer, whenever she hears a bad name for a Pokémon. She slaps people with her tail when it happens.
Line 24 ⟶ 23:
* [[Claustrophobia]]: Hikaru, with his fear of caves.
* [[Chained Heat]]: Technically, it's a sturdy rope and a falconer's glove that keep Ken and his Skarmory together for the first little while.
* [[Cluster F
* [[Contest Winner Cameo]]: Until a better name is found for it - Chiryu allows any reader of the fic to submit a Gym Leader to make an appearance in the fic. So far, two people have done so.
* [[Conveniently Precise Translation]]: The entire ''fic'' is this. The author claims that the whole time, the characters are speaking Japanese, which has been transcribed into English.
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
* [[Distant Prologue]]: The prologue at the beginning of Chapter 1 takes place 4,000 years before the actual story. In fact, the entirety of Chapter 1 is (by [[Word of God|Title of God]]) a [[Prolonged Prologue|huge prologue]] that spans 30 years.
* [[Dreaming of Things to Come]]: Subverted. Rachel dreams of stuff, but it's too vague to really have any meaning. Not to mention, the dreams are pretty surreal.
* [[Dropped a Bridge
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: What caused the [[Cerebus Syndrome]]. The first few chapters are more about introducing the characters and getting a few classic gags in before anything else - you see characters like Cassidy and Butch popping in and out of nowhere.
** The writing was also just generally ''worse'' in the first few chapters because of said gag insertion; as the quality improved over later chapters, the fic just kinda got darker naturally.
Line 67 ⟶ 66:
** Of course, that doesn't excuse Hikaru the Garchomp learning Razor Leaf.
* [[Shoot the Hostage]]: Ken commands Gamer to hit the Charizard that is holding Rachel up in the air. But the Charizard just [[Human Shield|holds Rachel in front of it]].
* [[Shout
** When Rachel gets her shiny new storage laptop, she looks on the Internet, and finds sites such as 4chan and Uncyclopedia.
*** Ken asks, "What's a Smogon?"
Line 81 ⟶ 80:
* [[Talking Animal|Talking Pokémon]]: in ''droves''. Technically, ''any'' Pokémon can talk in this story - as long as they are [[Bond Creatures]] (see above) with their owners.
* [[That's No Moon]]: Rachel sees the white circular orb surrounding Lugia as he approaches, and thinks at first that it's the moon, even though just five minutes ago there was no moon out in the sky.
* [[Theme Music Power
* [[To Be a Master]]: Still the main plotline of the story, the thing that holds it all together.
* [[Three Amigos]]: Rachel, Ken, and Hikaru. They're [[Two Guys and
* [[Unflinching Walk]]: More of an Unflinching Flight - as Rachel, Ken, Phoenix, and the Infernape-guard zoom out of the Silph Co. Building on some birds after the underground portion explodes.
** To be fair, it's only partly their badassery - part of it was because they just wanted to get the hell out of there.
* [[Well
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Chapter 16. That's when Hikaru dies.
* [[Where Do You Think You Are?]]: Gamer pulls this one on Oiseau as they're trying to come up with a name for her. She suggests "Flugelmon", which causes Gamer to lash out in rage, saying, "What do you think this is, Digimon?"
* [[When You Snatch the Pebble]]: Kyo's gym challenge for Rachel, the entirely dark maze, is an attempt at this. Kyo tried to teach Rachel to use her other senses instead of just sight. [[Chekhov's Skill|This is useful later on.]]
* [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?]]: The costume girls have male names - such as Milo and Marcus. And they just shrug it off, too.
* [[Writers Cannot Do Math]]: More a case of Writers Cannot Keep Consistent Dates. Hikaru (13 at the time) is stated to have fought with Giovanni, but that whole incident took place in 1996, which is ''25 years before the story began''.
* [[You Can Never Leave]]: Inverted and [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in the case of Fearow-711 and Diabla. Diabla does let him go when he quits, but he refuses, saying that [[Genre Savvy|criminal organizations like them usually kill off members they don't want anymore]]. She never does kill him, though.
