** After being defeated, they shrink a bit but are still large.

* [[Augmented Reality Game]]: Basically.

* [[April Fools]]: Niantic loves doing stuff on this day, just to shake things up.

** In Indonesia banned the cops from playing the game while being in duty.

** [https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-china-pokemon-idUKKBN14U0TV China decided to nip PoGo at the bud, having the mobile game banned due to "national security" and "peoples' safety" reasons].

* [[Bishonen]]: Spark

* [[Canon Foreigner]]: Armored Mewtwo.

** One can carry up to 9 eggs.

** One can only use a three pokemon party for the Great League, Ultra League, or Master League.

* [[Character Level]]: The higher the gamer levels up, the more he can do things, like joining one of the three teams, participating in certain events and raids, unlocking skins, and making pokémon stronger.

* [[Cheaters Never Prosper]]: Niantic takes hacking and spoofing seriously, IRL pokemon trainers that continues to hack and spoof will run the risk of having the PoGo accounts terminated.

** Doing curveballs that are nice, great, and excellent will give more xp points.

** While in the "Style" section, the clothes area of the shop, the player can manually spin his/her PokeTrainer avatar to see how well they appear in wearing clothes.

* [[Evil Counterpart|Evil Counterparts]]: Sierra, Cliff, and Arlo are Spark, Blanche, and Candela's evil Team Go Rocket's counterparts, who even uses Shadow Pokemon.

* [[Experience Booster]]: ''Lucky Eggs'' doubles the XP, whereas the ''Star Pieces'' doubles the star dust gathering. Whereas special incubators cut the hatching time in half.

* [[Loading Screen]]: While the screen loads up, warnings to watch where you're going appears as a reminder to be careful.

* [[Geo Effects]]: When the weather in real life shows change, then the overview map will change to reflect that.

* [[Gotta Catch Them All]]

* [[Grow the Beard]]: With a ton of updates, including quality of life ones. Made Pokemon Go cool and playable again for some people.

* [[Inexplicable Treasure Chests]]: Whenever you reach the next level, the game dumps very useful items for you, like egg incubators, just to name a few.

* [[Infinite Stock for Sale]]: The Shop's merchandise, like incubators, lures, and such don't deplete, unless there's sales and limited time boxes.

* [[In-Universe Game Clock]]: Some Mons, effects, and features are only active in certain times and even seasons, like during snowy days castform will appear differently and then there's the "weather boost" mechanic will give Pokemon elemental strengths.

* [[Isometric Projection]]: The map screen can be manually adjusted in an isometric view.

* [[Microtransactions]]: Microtransactions are featured in the shop to buy things, like a special coin to switch teams, buying space for pokémon and items, even poses, and even PokéCoins.

** Averted, one can earn Pokécoins without spending real money and to do that is to leave your mon in the gym(s).

* [[Mythology Gag]]: Pokemon Go does references and shout outs to Pokemon's decades long history, an example is the [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Lavender Town]] [[Creepypasta|music]] for Halloween events.

* [[Mystery Box]]: There's a box at the end of the weekly field research and its wrapped up in a brown packaging with a white ribbon tied to it.

* [[No Export for You]]: Pokemon Go isn't ported for certain smartphones, like [[Microsoft]]'s Windows Phone.

** Kinda averted sorta, the Regional Pokémon, like heracross, chatot, and pachirisu, are exclusive to certain countries. To obtain them, one must hatch, trade, wait for a regional switch, or even travel to those countries.

** One of the ways to obtain a Mewtwo other than going to an Ex-Raid, is to buy the Pokemon Go Plus.

** Event Pokemon, just Event Pokemon.

** Certain forms of pokemon, like MewTwo's armor form, is exclusive ONLY in Pokemon Go.

** Averted whenever a re-release of event pokemon, regional switches happens, and Legendary rotations.

* [[The Nose Knows]]: Using Lures and Incense attracts wild pokemon to a certain spot were the PokeStop is located or the actual trainer, because these devices smell so good to their noses.

* [[Play Every Day]]: Logging in and doing tasks, will fill up a seven day gauge which will award players, star dust and getting XP to level up.

* [[Player Versus Player]]

* [[Point of Interest]]: The game has varieties:

** PokéStops, where players can get supplies, like potions, pokeballs, gifts (to send to friends), and the occasional eggs.

* [[Robot Buddy]]: Remy, though he's more of a tech support bot that supposed to help gamers and relay the cries for help messages to an actual guy at the other end.

* [[Run, Don't Walk]]: Averted. Similar to ''[[Harry Potter: Wizards Unite]]'', PoGo ''only'' wants you to walk, it won't register the steps when one runs, which will hinder the trainer's progress. Also, when one is in the car, the game asks if you're speeding or even the driver.

* [[Shout-Out]]: The [[Pokémon Colosseum|Shadow Pokémon]] makes a comeback.

** Taking pictures of pokémon in the wild or those in your inventor is very reminiscent of [[Pokémon Snap]].

** Many of the skins that the trainer avatar can wear are shout outs to the main Pokemon games.

** [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Sar]][[Pokémon Gold and Silver|fari]] [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Zones]], which are contest events in specific areas in the world.

* [[Third Option Adaptation]]: Once reaching level 5, a trainer can chose to not join a team.

** Trainers can pick pikachu as their starter.

* [[Tights Under Shorts]]

* [[Walking Spoiler]]: Some of the pokemon that appears, especially if they're used for advertising, are literal walking spoilers for some gamers that are intending to play some of the newer main games and getting to the part were they activate the alt form or encounters that particular Mon.

** Averted with some gamers, who never played the main game series and this is the only Pokemon anything that they're playing.

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]|[[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]: This is one of the hair styles the gamer can pick.
