=== Tropes used in ''Yellow'': ===
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: A few characters from the anime can be found in early routes, like AJ and Giselle. Melanie and a much nicer Damien show up to give you Bulbasaur and Charmander as well. Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy show up too. And, of course, there's Jessie and James as well as Meowth (As one of their Pokémon, he gets no speaking lines), who are recurring enemies. Because of game mechanics, though, they aren't named.
** Funnily enough, Metapod could only know Harden if you caught it in the wild, Caterpie that evolve get left out on the fun. However, since Ash's Caterpie learned Harden upon evolution, they made Harden a move accessible upon evolution, a change that surprisingly stayed in all later games.
* [[Crutch Character]]: ''Yellow'' added another Pokémon to Route 22 to help against Brock -- the Fighting-type Mankey. The Nidorans (found on the same route) could now learn Double Kick much earlier as well. Unlike most crutch characters though, they remain pretty solid throughout the game.
* [[Recursive Adaptation]]: It's a game based on [[The Anime of the Game]].
** Technically it's The Game: [[Updated Rerelease|The Update]]: [[Import Gaming|The Import]]: [[The Anime of the Game|The Anime]]: [[Licensed Game|The Game]]: [[Running Gag|The Update]].
* [[Sequel Difficulty Spike|Remake Difficulty Spike]]: This game is actually quite a bit harder than the originals. Not only do a lot of random trainers actually have moves incorporating TM's on their Pokémon, but the Gym Leaders are a good deal tougher. Lt. Surge for example only has one Pokémon, but in return his Raichu is quite a bit higher leveled than in Red and Blue and carries Mega Punch and Kick to annihilate Ground types you bring in. Then, there's Koga whose best Pokémon is a ''level 50 Venomoth''. The last gym leader? Erika's Pokémon were around levels 20-30. Yeah. Sabrina also has her Pokémon in that range to, and Giovanni as well as the Pokémon League are just all around higher leveled as well.
* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: Blue was already unlikable in the original games, but in this game he flat out steals the Eevee that you were meant to start with! What a dick!
