Pokémon 3: Difference between revisions

* [[And the Rest]]: This is when Ash's mom started doing this to him. She greets Pikachu with a hug, and Ash with "Oh hi honey." And the fans think she's overprotective?

* [[Almighty Mom]]

* [[Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu|Almost Broke Your Neck Punching Out Cthulhu]]: Hey, Charizard, Entei is no run-of-the-mill Legendary.

* [[Anti-Villain]]: Molly (Type II) and Entei (Type IV).

* [[Bond Creatures]]: Entei, to Molly.

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Team Rocket, [[Running Gag|as usual]].

'''Meowth. after the Rocket Trio saved Ash''': If anything happened to you, we'd be out of showbusiness! }}

** Doubles as a [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]], seeing as what role they ''did'' get in ''4Ever''. <ref>having to work together with the ''[[Complete Monster|worst kind]]'' of villain there is; Jessie even got to be a [[Distressed Damsel]]!</ref>

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Molly and Entei, after their defeat.

* [[Hey, That's My Line!]]: almost in verbatim, even, but lighthearted in tone.

'''Meowth''': ''Hey, don't steal my line.'' }}

* [[Hero Antagonist]]: Entei is actually one of the nicest characters in the series, it's just that he happens to be loyal to an increasingly insane [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]].

* [[Mission Control]]: thanks to the [[Girl of the Week]] conveniently giving the gang a Pokégear, Professor Oak was able to maintain radio contact with them. His first order of business: [[What the Hell, Hero?|telling Ash off]] for foolishly taking things into his own hands.

* [[Momma's Boy]]

* [[Nakama]]: It was at its most obvious in this movie.

* [[New Powers as the Plot Demands]]: Entei explicitly states he can become stronger as long as Molly wishes it. Molly also uses this trope, as she is able to create the Pokémon that she needs in battle and gives them whatever move she wants.

* [[Undying Loyalty]]: Entei towards Molly.

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: When Molly is in emotional turmoil over what to do when Ash comes to take his mother back and set everything right, Entei (who can naturally feel what she feels) goes berserk and tries to kill Ash. It's made worse by Ash telling Molly that Entei is an illusion and not her real papa:

** Not just that. As she starts crying and getting angry, the whole room starts producing crystal spikes, in order to try and isolate her from what is causing her anger(Ash and his mother trying to take her away). Eventually, the emotional turmoil gets so confusing, as she can't decide whether to stay with Entei or leave with Ash and causing Entei to disappear, thus the reason of the turmoil, {{spoiler|the Unown go berserk and starts cristallizing the whole field, so out of control that they won't even follow Molly's will}}.

* [[Villain Protagonist]]: Molly is pretty much the central protagonist of the movie but from Ash and co's perspective, she's the main antagonist since she's the one willingly creating the conflict.
