Line 18:
* [[A Boy and His X|A boy and his mabosstiff]]: {{Spoiler|Arven and his mabossfiff}}
* [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]]: For competitive play, A number of powerful Pokémon are only catchable in the DLC. The main story is easily beatable in the base game, though the EXP charm obtained in the Kitikami DLC significantly increases the EXP earned by the party.
* [[The Bus Came Back]]: Meloetta returns as an obtainable Pokemon, having been absent since ''[[Pokémon X and Y]]'' thirteen years previous.
* [[Character Customization]]: The Player Character can be customized, though is less variety for clothing options then in prior games.
* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]]: The protagonist’s first encounter with the villain team (Team Star) occurs on the first day of classes where the two Grunts are bullying Penny. After you defeat the first (less experienced) Grunt, Nemona (whom they ''do not'' want to mess with) shows up and orders the second Grunt to battle the player, with the player allowed to use a Tera Orb to Terastallize their Pokemon. In effect, the Grunt’s punishment is acting as a reluctant [[Warmup Boss]].
Line 27 ⟶ 28:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{Spoiler|The Professor protecting the box legendary, albeit not without causing the situation in the first place.}}
* [[Hollywood Hacking]]: Cassiopeia hacks the Rotom phone of the player… to call them. Later used to provide the player character with reward money.
* [[Hot Scientist]]: {{spoiler| Arven's parents, ''both'' of them.}}
* [[Hot Teacher]]: Raifort (the history teacher), Dendra (phys ed teacher), and possibly Miriam (the [[Adorkable]] School Nurse), plus Salvatore (languages teacher) as a male example.
* [[Level Scaling]]: Averted. While players can challenge gyms in any order, the levels encountered do not scale. So if a player beelines for a late game area, they are outleveld. If a player levels up for such an area then returns to the early game, the battles don’t scale for the players new level, resulting in a series of [[Curb Stomp Battle]] if the player does not impose restrictions on themselves.
* [[Missing Mom]]: Arven’s mom in Scarlet is not involved in his life. She appears, but rarely acknowledges him as anything other than a convenience. {{Spoiler|Because she’s been dead for some time, and Arven is speaking with an AI copy.}}
* [[Mister Big]]: {{spoiler|The leader of Team Star is actually Penny, [[Shrinking Violet| a shy, mousy, introverted girl]] with a lot of self-esteem issues. Not even the other members of Team Star know this.}}
* [[Moon Logic Puzzle]]: The method in which you unlock Meloetta (an [[Olympus Mons]]) is one of those events that is so complex you wonder how anyone discovered it - indeed, the authors of most internet guides on the game say that when this was first revealed by a blogger on [[TikTok]], they thought it was a joke. To wit, {{spoiler| first after unlocking the Indigo Disk DLC, you go to a certain clearing in the Coastal Biome near a waterfall and find a breeze where leaves blow around your character; the breeze occurs in a few areas, but when you stand in the correct one, the background music will tone down. Then you have to spin your character clockwise for ten seconds (as in, the special “spin animation” that occurs by twirling the left control stick continuously) Once that is done, you must turn the camera on and switch to the Sepia filter.}} If this works, you will hear Meloetta singing and it will appear nearby, allowing the player to battle and catch it. The only clue you get about this is a vague hint from an NPC, which is very easy to miss.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: The
* [[Names to Trust Immediately]]: The Loyal Three {{spoiler|But you should ''not'' trust them.}}
* [[Organic Technology]]: {{spoiler| Each member of Team Star has a special Pokemon called a [[Unique Enemy| "Starmobile"]], which is (according to Ortega, who invented it) a vehicle that uses a Revavroom as the main engine, two Varoom as secondary engines and a Charcadet as a fuel source; the Type is different for each, in accordance to each Trainer's theme. Whether this counts as a true Pokemon at all is debatable, but in any event, [[My Rules Are Not Your Rules| the player cannot obtain one]].}}
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Director Clavell when disguised as Clive.
