* [[The Power of Friendship]]: Unlike most series in the genre, where it's second to [[The Power of Love]], friendship is ''the'' most important thing in ''Pretty Cure''. Every episode focuses on the relationships between the girls, and no romantic subplot is ever completely resolved, whether [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|between the Cures themselves]] or with a third party; Nozomi/Coco is the one exception, and even they are allowed far less PDA than other magical girl leads, only getting to kiss offscreen and in a movie. Most speeches are of the friendship variety, and the Cures' powers literally run on friendship -- even the ones who can transform separately are stronger together, and, as seen in the case of [[Yes! Pretty Cure 5|Karen]], powers can fail completely if they don't open up and act sincerely towards their [[True Companions]]. |

* [[Strictly Formula]]: Not just individual episodes, but the series themselves, something that became particularly jarring from [[Fresh Pretty Cure|2009]] to [[Suite Pretty Cure|2011]], which always had four-girl teams and a cheat code item appear at a late point to give the girls a new attack or set of costumes. |
