Line 34:
* [[Continuity Nod]]: The background music played inside the Oceanic Museum at Slateport is a remix of the S.S. Anne theme.
** Not to mention, one of the ship replicas contained therein is of the S.S. Anne.
* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: Mt. Chimney. You shouldn't be able to stand right in front of the lava pool like that.
** Humorously averted with a Team Magma grunt who's standing guard near a lava pool. When he engages you in battle he complains about his post and says his left ear is burning.
*** That grunt seems to exist solely to avert this trope. After the fight he says he's getting heat exhaustion and, if you talk to him after the fight, questions why Team Magma is wearing hoods in a volcano.
Line 54:
** While still having bugs; [[Game Freak]] was able to perform much more bug-testing with their games starting with R/S/E (After the profits from gen I and II made up for the loss of Gen I's troubled production) And it shows.
* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]: Dewford's trendy things are ''very'' abusable.
* [[Hot Skitty -On -Wailord Action]]: This is the actual [[Trope Namer]], though it really started in Gen II.
* [[Just Add Water]]: the Pokéblocks.
* [[Large Ham]]: "GORGE your eyes on this! It's a SILK SCARF!!!!"
Line 67:
* [[Power-Up Food]]: Pokéblocks, as well as their comprising Berries.
* [[Randomly Drops]]: Feebas is one of the most frustrating Pokémon to get in these games. Out of 436 water tiles on Route 119, only ''six'' randomly-picked tiles<ref>(whenever a new game is started or the trendy phrase in Dewford is changed)</ref> have Feebas, a 1 in 72.67 chance of finding a tile that has them. You're not even guaranteed to get one by fishing on those tiles.
* [[Scenery Porn]]: By GBA standards, anyway. Hoenn is the prettiest region in the Pokéverse. Among the environments seen include, but are not limited to: [[The Lost Woods|forests]], beaches, mountains, cliffs, cities, [[Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here|villages]], [[Tree -Top Town|treehouses]], islands, deserts, volcanoes, rivers, rain-forests, sea basins, hot springs, [[Under the Sea|underwater]], caves, [[Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs|underwater caves]]... The variety of environments in this game is so vast, [[Urban Legend of Zelda|some even thought]] that you would be able to ''go into '''OUTER SPACE'''''.<ref>You know, to catch Jirachi and Deoxys.</ref>
* [[Shifting Sand Land]]: There is a large desert, with a constant sandstorm raging, so you need goggles to get across it.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Young Couple [[Malcolm in The Middle|Lois and Hal]]; interestingly, they're absent from ''Emerald''.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfARFF9S5Jg Route 113] is a place covered in ash - but if you've ever played any of the ''[[Earthbound|Earthbound/Mother]]'' games, the music will make you think of a place covered in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjVx2FVENJ4 snow].
* [[Sidequest]]: New Mauville. Also, the Pokémon Contests, which were first introduced in this generation.
* [[Tree -Top Town]]: Fortree City, naturally.
* [[Under the Sea]]: With HM08 (Dive), a feature that didn't return until ''[[Pokémon Black and White|Black and White]]''.
* [[Wasted Song]]: The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRsUBDLTrZ0 Maxie/Archie Boss Battle theme] is over a minute long and really impressive sounding, but only plays during the rather short, pathetic fights against Maxie and Archie.
