[[File:PokeSpe_characters.jpg|frame|<small>Center: [[Awesomeness By Analysis|Emerald]]. Clockwise from top: [[The Medic|Yellow]], [[The Hero|Red]], [[Idiot Hero|Gold]], [[Camp Straight|Ruby]], [[The Rival|Green]] (Blue US), [[Anti-Hero|Silver]], [[Wild Child|Sapphire]], [[Guile Hero|Blue]] (Green US) and [[Team Mom|Crystal]]. Not included: [[Big Eater|Diamond]], [[Determinator|Pearl]], [[Ojou|Platinum]], [[Hot
Line 136:
{{quote| '''Pearl:''' Act stupid so I can hit you!}}
* [[Contractual Purity]]: White freaks at the idea of Tep evolving and having Gigi pair up with a different, presumably larger, not-as-adorable Pokémon.
* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: The final battle of the Yellow Chapter briefly moves to the crater of a volcano.
* [[Conveniently Empty Building|Conveniently Empty City]]: Vermillion City was conveniently empty when Lance decimates it with a Hyper Beam due to a major event at the docks. However, Lance does acknowledge that there were probably a few people still inside.
* [[Covert Pervert]]: Believe it or not, it's Ruby!
Line 182:
* [[Dub Induced Plot Hole]]: The Viz versions rarely used nicknames in the RGB arc, so when the Yellow arc rolled around, Red's Pikachu seemingly got one out of nowhere and everyone acted like it always had one. To make things worse, they kept switching back and forth between nicknames and actual names. Even in the same chapter. Thankfully, as of the GS arc, the translators have become more consistent with nicknames.
** The Sinnoh Trio started their journey on September 28th, the day the ''Diamond and Pearl'' games were released in Japan. The Viz translators caught on to the reference and changed it to April 22nd, the day the games were released in America. However, this shows that Viz doesn't read ahead, as of this point of the story winter is rapidly approaching Sinnoh, necessitating the change into the ''Platinum'' outfits. Apparently in Sinnoh, it starts snowing in May.
* [[Early
** In her battle against Blue, Sabrina hypnotizes her to see her greatest fear: a pagoda surrounded by birds. ''i.e.'' {{spoiler|Johto's Bell Tower.}}
** In the RGB arc, right before the start of the Pokemon League, a few GS trainer classes are seen in the crowd.
Line 277:
* [[Hey That's My Line]]: Red brags to Blue about his two badges. She steals them, and when Team Rocket catches up to her she brags about "her" two badges. Red's not happy to see she's stealing his possessions ''and'' his lines.
* [[Hostage for McGuffin]]: Noland surrenders the Jirachi report for Anabel's safety.
* [[Hot
** Sapphire once had flames bursting out of the background [[Mundane Made Awesome|when she was about to take Roxanne's test.]] She has since then mellowed out, however.
** Pearl also counts as he has tons of willpower and shouts more than needed.
Line 335:
* [[Lamarck Was Right]]: Gold's Pichu. Justified in the context of the games, where learned moves can be inherited from the father.
* [[Large Ham]]: Black. '''"I'M GONNA BE CHAMPION OF THE POKÉMON LEAGUE!!!"''' indeed.
* [[Lava Is Boiling Kool
* [[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 [http://www.otakuworks.com/view/75801/Pokémon-adventures/vol-34-chp-377/read/15 here.]
Line 467:
* [[She's a Man In Japan]]: Tate is mistakenly referred to as a girl in the Chuang Yi version.
* [[Shoot the Medic First]]: Sird gets Yellow to use her powers in vain to tire her out, knowing that she'd have no chance if Yellow was conscious. This is mostly due to what happens when Yellow [[Superweapon Surprise|synchronizes her spirits with her Pokémon's]], but Yellow being The Healer wouldn't be helpful to Sird, either.
* [[Shout
** The Safari Zone logo looks like the [[Jurassic Park]] logo.
** Dia has a Wii and all its different controllers in his room. Similar to the games where the player character always has the current Nintendo console in their room.
Line 483:
** [[Pokémon (Franchise)/Nightmare Fuel|Pokémon indeed...]]
* [[Supreme Chef]]: Diamond is a skilled cook and Poffin maker.
** Also, Emerald's Sceptile and Sudowoodo show remarkable skill in cooking and once faced off against each other in a cook-off for [[Bratty Half
* [[Take a Third Option]]: Koga gives [[The Rival|Green]] the choice to be used as a hostage to persuade [[The Professor|Professor Oak]] to work for Team Rocket, or die painfully. [[The Rival|Green]] decides to go down fighting.
* [[Taken for Granite]]
Line 497:
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Needless to say, what with the Special universe being a [[World of Badass]] and all, everyone receives this treatment at some point or another in the course of the story.
* [[Train Station Goodbye]]: How {{spoiler|Black and White part ways at Nimbasa}}.
* [[Trauma
** Also Emerald's Sceptile and (possibly) Silver's Sneasel.
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Wanda, who is conventionally pretty, has a [[Gonk]] husband.
Line 509:
* [[Utopia Justifies the Means]]
* [[Villainous Rescue]]: {{spoiler|For a [[Big Bad]], Giovanni certainly saves the heroes a lot, particularly during the Yellow Arc, freeing Red from his frozen prison and saving Yellow when she was battling Lance.}}
* [[Wax On, Wax Off]]: It helped Gold's Cyndaquil evolve into Quilava, but the Day Care Granny really just wanted some stuff lying around the house to be done.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Lance and Lorelei during the Yellow arc.
** And, of course, Maxie and Archie, but this is a bit questionable, since they're batshit insane.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Where there were certainly hints towards this, {{spoiler|seeing Sird in a Team Galactic uniform certainly counts, as well as the revelations that she was [[The Mole|a mole]] sent to investigate Team Rocket}}.
** {{spoiler|Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, and Silver getting turned to stone at the end of the FRLG Arc.}}
** {{spoiler|Gigi leaves White for N.}}
Line 521:
** Sapphire easily loses to Tucker, implying that she's still terrified of Salamance.
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: ''Every single one'' of the Pokedex Holders.
* [["With Our Swords" Scene]]: After the Sinnoh Gym Leaders get thrashed at Spear Pillar, three of them pass on one of their Pokémon to Platinum so that she can fight in their stead. {{spoiler|Subverted in that the Pokeballs immediately get busted so that she can't call them out. Double-subverted in that she's allowed to keep them anyways for another mission.}}
* [[The Worf Effect]]: Whenever Platinum brings out Ponyta to a gym challenge, expect the poor horse to be quickly beaten to the ground.
** Poliwhirl/Poliwrath tends to suffer from this in Red's battles.
