Line 45:
** Despite Yellow's [[Everyone Can See It|obvious]] crush on [[Oblivious to Love|Red]], fans have shipped her with many, ''many'' other characters, including those [http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/8395/linkshipping.jpg who have yet to appear]!
*** How has Red not been mentioned yet? He's been paired with EVERYONE.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Giovanni, who manipulated nearly ''every'' event in the first arcChapter of the manga and can predict how a battle will turn out, what moves his opponent will make, how to counter-attack, AND the time it will take for it all to happen!, all with a suaveness, dignity, and imposing demeanor of a [[Diabolical Mastermind]] [[Yakuza]] boss. (Given he's been a trainer for YEARS, and {{spoiler|wrote THE BOOK on Ground types & his Viridian powers, though his have not been explained}}, it makes sense. It also makes him a poster-boy (man?) for this trope.
** Green also demonstrates aspects of this, despite being a heroine; she {{spoiler|manipulates nearly every event in the second arc by setting Yellow on her quest and telling her never to remove her hat-- which she bugs with a GPS beacon and recording device. "I've been... um... using Yellow as my learning aid!"}} She eventually becomes a [[Guile Hero]] by the third arc.▼
** Cyrus also qualifies; he's ahead of the good guys, even Cynthia, throughout most of the D/P arc.▼
** The Masked Man / Pryce of the ''Gold, Silver, and Crystal'' Chapter, whose plan was years in the making and came just an inch of success in the end.
▲** Green also demonstrates aspects of this, despite being a heroine; she {{spoiler|manipulates nearly every event in the second arc by setting Yellow on her quest and telling her never to remove her hat-- which she bugs with a GPS beacon and recording device. "I've been... um... using Yellow as my learning aid!"}} She eventually becomes a [[Guile Hero]] by the third arc.
▲** Team Galactic's Cyrus also qualifies; he's ahead of the good guys, even Cynthia, throughout most of the D/P''Diamond and Pearl'' arcChapter.
** Ghetsis in the Unova arc has some serious credentials for magnificence too, being a [[Crazy Prepared]] [[Manipulative Bastard]] and [[The Chessmaster]] extraordinaire who actually subverts his game counterpart's [[Smug Snake]] status in the BW Chapter, having planned everything out well in advance (including his fallback scheme) and never losing his composure.
** Lysandre of the XY/Z Chapter is also a strong qualifier. Like Giovanni and Cyrus he's suave, intelligent, stylish and ruthless, and like Ghetsis, has a back-up plan that he launches immediately once his initial master plan fails.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: It's quite popular on pixiv to take a scene from the manga and render it anime-style.
** Medleys are also popular on niconico, usually with fans (as the characters) singing original lyrics.
