Line 11:
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Played with. Some of the adult characters are actively in investigating bulling, though their effectiveness is dubious. Others are actively involved in covering up said bullying, or actively recruit students to do dangerous tasks they can’t or won’t do themselves.
* [[A.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: {{Spoiler|Averted and played straight, depending on the specific AI. The artificial professor is actually more ethical then the real deal it is modeled after and is unwilling to subject the region to catastrophe to see their dreams become real. The security AI is far less benevolent.}}
* [[Almighty Janitor]]: Larry - the Medali Gym Leader - is your typical white collar salaryman who has been "assigned" gym leader duty by his boss (whom he doesn't like) and like most such people, is overworked and constantly complaining about his job. He looks like the typical accountant, and that may well be what he is. He uses Normal type Pokemon, as he feels those are reflective of himself.
* [[Back from the Dead]]: {{Spoiler|The Loyal Three arise from the grave during the events of the Teal Mask DLC}}
* [[The Battle Didn't Count]]: Played for Laughs and Subverted at the end of the main storyline. After defeating the Elite Four and the Champion, you have to battle Nemona as the [[Final Boss]]. After you win the battle (which is not easy) she enthusiastically praises you for how far you’ve come… and then asks if you’re ready for round 2 (much to your trainer’s shock). Fortunately, she’s either kidding or the battle takes place offscreen, because you do not battle her again until the post game.
Line 43 ⟶ 44:
** Also, {{spoiler| when the player delves into the Great Crater of Paldea, it is revealed that the Legendary Pokemon he befriended at the start of the game - Koraidon or Miraidon, depending on which game you are playing - has a Rival of its own, a stronger, slightly higher-level member of its species. The reason it was hurt when the trainer found it was due to a fight between it and this rival, and supposedly, the Professor was killed attempting to stop them from fighting. When it finally gets a chance at a rematch with this Rival, the point is driven home quickly - the first move the stronger one makes is always Taunt, as if it is daring the younger Pokemon to fight it again.}}
* [[Salaryman]]: Larry is a salaryman who works multiple jobs, is overworked, and dresses the part.
* [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]: The
* [[Spot the Impostor]]: Both Ditto and Zorua hide among wild Pokemon by using their abilities to shapeshift. However, one way to tell which is which is out of character behavior. For example Persian, Primeape, and Vigoroth (who all share the same habitat as the two imposters) are aggressive Pokemon who will always attack the trainer. Zorua, however, is a shy Pokemon who usually flees from the trainer, while Ditto is a curious one who often stares quizzically at the trainer. Thus, should any of these aggressive Pokemon act like this, it is likely the "imposter" Pokemon in disguise.
* [[Turtle Power]]: {{spoiler| Terapagos, the mascot Legendary of the The Indigo Disk DLC, and an [[Adorable Abomination]].}}
* [[Villain with Good Publicity]]: {{Spoiler|The Loyal Three are exalted in Kitikami, when really they were thieves.}}
