Guardians of Pokémon: Difference between revisions

* [[Ascended Extra]]: Lawrence III, villain of ''[[Pokémon: The Movie 2000|The Power of One]]'', shows up ''twice'', in the second movie and then {{spoiler|during [[The Climax]] of the Legendary Dogs arc}}.

** Make that three times; he returns near the end of {{spoiler|the Legendary Dogs arc}}.

* [[Badass Adorable]]: Chibi and Mitsumi. And of course, [[Fan Nickname|Godchu]]. {{spoiler|Or is that Goddesschu?}}

* [[Bad Boss]]: Many of the Evil Guardians are shown to only stick around out of fear of their boss. And then there's [[Mad Love|Ayumi...]]

* [[Born Lucky]]: Mitsumi

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: At the end of chapter 8, the characters interact with the narrator.

** Chapter 74 finally brings it to its logical conclusion:

{{quote|'''Ash:''' You know, we really need to stop breaking the fourth wall.}}

** Chapter 149:

{{quote|'''Derek:''' Then again, the writer of this movie probably just wanted to keep the story in the U.S. and honestly couldn't come up with a better reason than this.}}

* [[Can't Catch Up]]: At first, it looks like the Guardians are going to get their upgrades in the same order that they awakened, as Ash and Misty are the first two to receive their first upgrade. Then Sakura upgrades less than ten episodes after her debut, and Katana, who hadn't even awakened as a Guardian when Ash and Misty got their upgrades, becomes the fourth to upgrade during the first movie. By the time {{spoiler|Green}} finally gets upgraded to stage 2 in the third movie, Ash has already upgraded to stage 3.

* [[Capulet Counterpart]]: Neriko. Misty even references the [[Trope Namer]] in Chapter 173.

* [[Death Is Cheap]]: [[Subverted]]; the Ghost Guardian has the power to revive the dead, but it uses so much energy that [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique|she can only use it four times before she becomes too weak to live.]]

* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: Chapter 53 focuses on Kai, as well as setting up his relationship with [[Recurring Character]] Kikara.

* [[Deceptive Disciple]]: Gunpei

* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Panda admits afterwards that he screwed-up ''big''-time regarding the ''[[One Piece]]'' portion of the crossover...then says to just regard it as a [[Plot Hole]], since the nature of the [[Mega Crossover]] already is reason to suspend your disbelief.

** Chapter 148 parodies the ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' series.

** In addition to being one of the movies, Chapter 149 takes a stab at ''[[The Amazing Race]]''. Sort of.

*** It also ends with Green getting her item...[[Dragon Ball|an orange orb.]]

* [[Showing Off the New Body]]: Variation; it's not another person's body being flaunted, but [[Older Alter Ego|a more mature version of her own.]]
