Line 18:
* [[David Versus Goliath]]: This can happen when a poketrainer encounters a Dynamaxed wild pokemon.
* [[Eldritch Location]]: The Wild Areas. It can be snowing in the section that borders the section with harsh sunlight - at night. The weather her is downright screwy.
* [[Enemy Mine]]: Team Yell gives the player trouble for most of the story, but help against the main antagonists flunkies by cheering your Pokemon on; this actually increases their stats a little.
* [[Everything's Better with Monkeys]]: Pokemons, like Grookey.
* [[Excalibur in the Rust]]: The player and Hop find the Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield at the Slumbering Weald; these items are actually the dormant forms of Zamazenta and Zacian.
* [[Expy]]: The camping mode is similar to [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokemon Amie]].
* [[Fictional Currency]]: Pokécoins
Line 32 ⟶ 34:
* [[The Lost Woods]]: Right next to Postwick (the protagonist's hometown) is the Slumbering Weald, a place said protagonist and Hop have always been warned ''never'' to go into. At the beginning of the game they have to do so anyway to track down a lost Wooloo, only to {{spoiler|come face to face with the game's Legendary Pokemon!}} After that, it's [[Chekov's Gun| a good idea to avoid the place for awhile...]]
** Another contender is Glimwood Tangle. Not exactly a large forest, it's still dark and ominous, with giant colorful, glowing mushrooms. [[The Fair Folk| Many of the wild Pokemon here are Fairy Type.]]
* [[Make My Monster Grow]]: Pretty much the whole point of Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing.
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|Ridiculously Cute Critters]]: The starter pokemons: Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble.
** The rest of the unknown pokemon that'll appear once the game releases.
** And Wooloo. It already had many fans just a day after the trailer that revealed it.
* [[No Export for You]]: An in universe example, Dynamaxing (and by extension, Gigantamax) is a phenomenon that's only exclusive to Pokemons found in the Galar region.
** Preordering the game from Walmart or Amazon will give gamers a special skin for the pokemon trainers.
Line 42 ⟶ 43:
* [[No Sense of Direction]]: A problem Leon has; [[Running Gag|every time he shows up]], he or someone else will mention how terrible he is with directions.
* [[Precious Puppy|Precious Puppies]]: Yamper
* [[The Rival]]: You've got ''three'' in this game, and each is a different type as far as rivalry goes:
** Hop is the friendly rival that the protagonist has known since childhood, energetic and exuberant almost to a fault.
** Bede is the far-darker rival, {{spoiler| a protege to the main antagonist, making him a [[Privileged Rival]] and a complete jerk.}}
** Marnie is the middle-ground. She holds no real animosity towards the protagonist, but has a competitive streak of sorts that causes her to see ''any'' opponent as an obstacle that has to be crushed.
* [[Rivals Team Up]]: In real life, gamers can connect online just to take down a wild Gigantamax pokemon. Also, in-game, both Hop and Marnie aid the player against the villains, Hop doing so again in the post-game story.
* [[Scenery Porn]]
* [[Sissy Villain]]: Bede; pink overcoat that resembles a dress, large blue eyes with long lashes... A lot of fans have actually gotten his gender wrong, possibly because the first time ''anyone'' refers to him with a pronoun occurs after you've beaten the fifth Gym.
Line 55:
* [[There Are No Tents]]: Averted. One can set up a tent and camp in the Galar wilderness, play with their team, and eat. It's even encouraged to meet other trainers whilst resting.
* [[Virtual Paper Doll]]: Poketrainer customizable clothes and hairstyles ahoy.
* [[Up To Eleven]]: {{spoiler|Normally, Eternatus has a base stat total of 690, which is a respectable total even for Legendary Pokemon. (About 10 points higher than Mewtwo or Zekrom.) It has incredible base HP, Spec. ATK, and Speed (140, 145, and 130, respectively), and the other stats are solid too, its lowest being ATK (which a Pokemon with its moveset likely won't use much anyway). However, when it assumes [[One-Winged Angel|Eternamax form]] during the story, those stats go through the roof, with a base stat total of 1,125, the ''highest base stat total for any Pokemon in the history of the franchise!'' Sadly, there is no way (to date) for a tamed Eternatus to assume this form, the player can only use its regular form after catching it.}}
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Bede tries something like this as the Championship Semi-Finals start, storming into the stadium (now wearing his Gym-Leader attire) and demanding a battle with the player. While he technically has no right to do so, having been disqualified earlier, he offers the player a wager: if he wins, he gets to take the player's place in the Champion Cup; if he loses, he'll retire as a trainer. Bede sees this as win-win for him, because if he loses, he can use this as an excuse to get away from Opal; he's not very happy as her protege, a situation he describes as [[Training from Hell]]. Unfortunately, it doesn't work quite as he planned; despite losing, he puts on such a spectacular show that the crowd doesn't ''want'' him to retire, and their support makes him feel obligated to continue.}}
