Line 315:
* [[Black Eyes]] -> [[Green Eyes]]: with a shade of dark yellow in it, too. Perhaps [[Hazel Eyes]]?
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Yellow is probably the most pacifistic and sweet-tempered of the Dex Holders who dislikes battling so much that she'd rather render her enemies immobile instead of outright hurting them, or just plain run away. However she knows when to get serious; threaten the Viridian Forest or try to [[Kill All Humans]], and the gloves are off.
** [[Took a Level Inin Badass|Badass Grinding]]: Even without the [[Superweapon Surprise]] in play, she still managed to take injuries from her fight with Lance in stride, even overcoming him in spite of them. Training under Green and facing the crisis instigated by the Kanto Elite Four certainly helped this along.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: She actually appears for the first time near the end of the first arc (when Red catches her Rattata for her, mentioned above), several chapters before her own arc begins.
Line 479:
* [[Flight]]
* [[Like Father, Like Son|Like Trainer, Like Pokemon]]: Gold's ability to make his hatched Pokemon like him turned a Pokemon that is known for bringing happiness into a gambling delinquent.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: As a Togepi, he was badass, but won most of his battles through pure luck. Upon evolving twice, he became strong enough to face against Arceus and calm it down with a single attack. {{spoiler|Although he didn't actually hurt it.}}
 
=== '''Tibo/Mantaro (Mantarou) and Remoraid''' ===
Line 809:
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: She has absolutely no qualms in going around in a leaf bikini or taking her clothes off in front of strangers.
* [[Jungle Princess]]: She becomes this due to believing...
** [[It's All My Fault]]: {{spoiler|That same Salamence in Ruby's tragic backstory [[Harmful to Minors|cut him up]] before he chased it off. She blamed herself for her own weakness and inability to fight, and [[Going Native|went native]] as part of her assistance in Prof. Birch's research to rectify that. Along the way, she engaged in some [[Took a Level Inin Badass|badass grinding]], and only went from there after her wager with Ruby.}}
* [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]]: The [[Tomboy]] to Ruby's [[Camp Straight]]. The fact that she's named after the blue colored Sapphire, while Ruby is named after the pink or red colored Ruby accentuates this.
* [[The McCoy]]
Line 905:
** [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: Said dwarfism also provided much teasing in his youth.
** [[Pint-Sized Kid]]: Taken to extremes.
* [[Refused by the Call]]/[[The Call Put Me on Hold]]: {{spoiler|At first he was refused to be given a PokéDex, only to be given to him much later after undergoing both the [[Secret Test of Character]] and several months of [[Training Fromfrom Hell]].}}
* [[Significant Name]]: He's named after the green-colored emerald, which fits quite well along with his companions Ruby and Sapphire.
** His birthday is at 31st of May, in which his birthstone is emerald.
Line 1,318:
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend|He Is Not My Boyfriend]]: She says this word for word when the massage spa manager mistakes Black to be her boyfriend and insists that she go on a cruise with him.
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: She'll do ''anything'' if her company's reputation is on the line.
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic BSOD]]: After Gigi abandons her for N, complete with [[Dull Eyes of Unhappiness]]. Has since rebooted and is looking into the Battle Subway [[Took a Level Inin Badass|for an OS upgrade]].}}
* [[Improbable Age]]: Though we don't know her age yet, she is most definitely not an adult yet she works as the representative of a company.
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: Tells Black to call her "Boss" ("President" in the Japanese version).
Line 1,324:
* [[Letting Her Hair Down]]: Unlike most examples, this signifies her depression. Incidentally, fans all agree she's much prettier with her hair down.
* [[Lovable Coward]]: Gives off this vibe, considering that her first reaction to being attacked by Pokémon always seems to be screaming.
* [[Neutral Female]]: She flat out tells Black that she has no Pokémon of her own and that she never participated in a battle in her life. {{spoiler|Is looking to [[Took a Level Inin Badass|hack out the "neutral"]] via the Battle Subway.}}
** Both the above tropes are somewhat ironic, considering that the female PC she's based on is a [[Memetic Badass]].
* [[Oh Crap]]: She freaks when she realizes that due to someone else's carelessness she doesn't have the Pokémon needed for a shooting.
Line 1,331:
* [[Ship Tease]]: At one point, she notices that she has been talking about Black a lot, and talks about how he is actually pretty cool. It doesn't help that she tries to make up an excuse.
* [[Tomboyish Ponytail]]
* {{spoiler|[[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: She started out as not being a Trainer. After the incident with N, White decided to learn how to defend herself but wasn't very good at it initially. After training on the Battle Subway, White goes from being unable to defeat a single Pokemon to actually managing to get far enough to face the Subway Bosses, Ingo and Emmet.}}
* [[Who Wears Short Shorts?]]
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Sort of. White screams in fear {{spoiler|when she sees the Servine that N gave to her after he took her Gigi}}, but is ultimately revealed to be confusion instead of straight fear. Becoming species-phobic appears less likely.
