Line 91:
*** Illiteracy is considered to be the inability to read at or above an eight grade level in the United States, so there is no lost in translation at all.
*** She could just have dyslexia. It makes sense with her frustration at trying to read the letters.
* [[Book Safe]]: Roxanne uses a book to hide her Pokeballs.
* [[Bowdlerize]]: At the end of the RGB Mt. Moon arc (in the original Viz release), Red carries an unconscious Misty out of the caves. She comes to, finds herself covered in dirt, and punches Red because she thinks he's groping her. The reprint instead extends the "dirty" complaint as the reason for the punch.
** They also cleaned up the Blue vs Sabrina fight; the re-release has Blue insult Sabrina's fashion sense instead of her "[[A-Cup Angst|health]]", and with the [[Clothing Damage]] edited out it looked like she pulled Jigglypuff and Clefairy [[Ass Pull|out of her rear, so to speak]] instead of from her [[Victoria's Secret Compartment]].
Line 233 ⟶ 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 337 ⟶ 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 436 ⟶ 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!
