Line 234:
* [[Fun with Acronyms]]: The word "Rocket" in Team Rocket stands for '''R'''aid '''O'''n the '''C'''ity, '''K'''nock out '''E'''vil '''T'''usks. Seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20131112213119/http://jb2448.info/Pokemon_Adventures_14/14-016 here.]
* [[Funny Afro]]: The Hoenn director.
* [[Gambit Pileup]]: The end of the Yellow Chapter started with [[Evil Plan]], continued into some ''heroic'' [[Gambit Roulettes]], and in the end {{spoiler|Giovanni's apparent [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment}} actually turned out to be part of Lance's plan and Yellow somehow managing to outwit him. It gets crazier later on. Suffice it to say ''everyone'' gets to play [[Xanatos Speed Chess]] at some point - even <s>Guile Hideout</s>
* [[Gambit Roulette]] which Blue uses one Lorelei.
** Also {{spoiler|we're all pretty sure Sird/Storc has one. She's just so good that we ''still'' don't have much of a clue what it is.}}
Line 338:
* [[Lava Is Boiling Kool-Aid]]: Yellow surfs on lava. Potentially [[Justified Trope|justified]] in that the surfboard was made from [[Green Lantern|hard light]], but they stay in the lava a smidgen too long to have realisticly handled the heat.
* [[The Leader]]: Considering its [[Geodesic Cast]], there are several. Notably Trainers Red, Gold, and Platinum of their respective branches of the Dex holders. Also Erika is the leader of the Kanto Gym Leaders.
* [[Level Grinding]]: Directly referenced by Byron [
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: Dragonite in all of its appearances. A cute, gentle-looking, cream-colored dragon who always poses a threat to the protagonists.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Most of the characters pretty much stay in the same outfits all the time with minor allterations between arcs until future games give them new threads.
Line 437:
* [[The Rival]]: Red and Green (Blue in the US version), Gold and Silver, Crystal and Eusine, Ruby and Sapphire.
* [[Scissors Cuts Rock]]: Red's Pikachu is able to take out Brock's Onix with a well-placed Thundershock.
* [[Southern-Fried Genius]]: Bill, mainly because of [[Accent Adaptation]] and his Southern accent is a substitute for [[Kansai-ben]] - Which is similar to this trope and is intended as a subversion of [[The Idiot From Osaka]]. Or maybe not. While [[The Idiot From Osaka]] trope is that for some reason has caught up in the West, the larger Japanese Osaka stereotypes, are that they came from a merchant city and are totally sharp, witty, and moneygrubbing. Which is the actual raeson for the idiot trope. - The inhabitants of the [[Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe|more samurai-dominated Edo]], who valued reserve and dignity, considers the Osakans as brash, loud, rude, and uncouth, therefore below themselves.
* [[Rule of Cool]]: "Team Rocket's Battleship has transformed into a mid-air battle stadium!"
* [[Rummage Fail]]: Neatly averted as the top half of the Pokéballs are transluscent so you can see the Pokémon inside. Handy!
