Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl Adventure!: Difference between revisions

Not to be confused with the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl (Video Game)|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] based chapter of [[Pokémon Special|Pokemon Adventure]]''[[Pokémon Special|s]]'' (Which has "Platinum" added to it in [[Viz Media]] releases to distinguish each other).

 

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Cyrus is, for all intents and purposes, Mitsumi's father figure. Who raised her to be a war machine (in the games it's implied that his own parents were abusive, but in DPA it never comes up).

* [[Action Girl]]: Mitsumi

** The entire last battle could be an example as well, especially since it's established that {{spoiler|going up against Giratina is for fun rather than out of necessity}}.

* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: Koya is a member of the International Police, but that doesn't stop him from being a complete [[Jerkass]].

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Cyrus (yes, you read it right), Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter, all after volume 5}}

** As well as {{spoiler|Mitsumi, pre-series.}}

* [[Honor Before Reason]]: Hareta in dealing with pretty much every villain except {{spoiler|Charon}}. Cyrus does it too, especially when he {{spoiler|delays his plan by several hours, waiting on the Spear Pillar for Hareta to show up so they can have that battle he promised the kid}}.

* [[Idiot Hero]]: Hareta is this. When he beats Roark and gets his first badge, he tries to ''eat it''.

* [[Improbable Age]]: [[Vague Age|I'm not quite sure how old Koya is]], but he certainly doesn't look old enough to be a member of the International Police.

** Granted it's not said if DPA Cyrus is 27 like his game counterpart, but since this is the only canon where he ''looks'' young enough to be that age and there's nothing really to contradict it, it can be assumed that he is. But that makes things difficult, as he'd have had to be in his mid-teens when he recruited Mitsumi. Not impossible, as this is a franchise built around the incredible feats of ten-year-olds and we already know he was a massive overachiever as a kid, but...difficult.

* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: {{spoiler|Mitsumi}}

** {{spoiler|However, it was a [[Disney Death]]}}

* [[Running Gag]]: Throughout the first volume, Hareta can't throw his Poké Balls.

** The abuse of B-2's rear end is an even further running gag.

* [[Utopia Justifies the Means]]: Cyrus and by extension, Team Galactic.

* [[Vague Age]]: As expected from ''[[Pokémon]]''. Hareta seems to be around the same age as his game counterpart, eleven or so, but Mitsumi and Jun seem considerably older than their game counterparts.

** And Mars, a few chapters before that, when {{spoiler|Cyrus reveals that his "new world" involves destroying everything and everyone in the current one}}. She snaps out of it enough to help in the end, though.

* [[Villains Never Lie]]: Cyrus is surprisingly honest about his goal to become a god (blurting it out in what's basically his introductory speech as he does), and as in the games he goes on about a "new world" so much that it comes as a surprise that apparently all of his followers thought it was a metaphor. Or something.

* [[Villainous Demotivator]]: Cyrus's reaction to Saturn's loss to Hareta is to {{spoiler|fire Saturn on the spot}}. Never mind that Saturn had just successfully caught Azelf.

* [[We Can Rule Together]]: Comes after Cyrus has spoken to Hareta for less than five minutes.

* [[Wild Child]]: Hareta

* [[Zero Percent Approval Rating]]: Charon
