* Several meta examples:
** [[http://i.imgur.com/6hujo47.jpg It is]] [[http://i.imgur.com/lFbWvkh.png possible]] for the first time '''in ten years''' for a Pokémon to return to the region it originated from [[OldSaveBonus after being transferred a generation forward]][[note]]excluding ''Gold and Silver'' and their remakes[[/note]]. Even better, should you bring one of your Old Hoenn Alumni to visit the Game Freak staff, they will [[http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l302/Chris_Lv255/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20141213_012431_zpsgftn4hqf.jpg give you a special certificate]] to commemorate your dedication to your old partner, which can be used as Wall Art to decorate your Secret Base.
** The Pokédex has been redesigned to resemble a Game Boy Advance, emanating a wonderful sense of nostalgia.

--> "But is it any surprise? A divine dragon who looks over humanity from the heavens, taking on the hopes and prayers of a better tomorrow and appearing as the shining avatar of salvation when all hope is lost to the world... Could anything be more beautiful?"

* Archie and Maxie are probably the only team leaders that actually, 100% ''[[BenevolentBoss care]]'' about the members of their team ''as well'' as their cause. They are both very close to their Admins, though Archie's friendship with Matt and Shelly is more apparent. Also, they are the only leaders legitimately concerned about bettering the world for everybody (Cyrus and Ghetsis fooled their teams for their own selfish goals, and Lysandre only cared about the "beautiful" people.)

** We come to your parents and Brendan/May's talking about how happy the latter must feel to have you in their life. But the last bit is the icing on the cake - You and Brendan/May [[spoiler: are [[OfficialCouple on your date]] at the Mossdeep Space Center, as they get something for you at the concessions, then take a picture pretending to be on the moon in a space suit, and afterwards you've watched the Litleoids. Yes, for the first time in the ''entire'' history of the main games, a romance explicitly blossoms, between the player and rival no less, meaning both they and the normally completely characterless player character [[PuppyLove confessed their love for eachother offscreen]].]] They thank both Norman and you for it, feeling happier than ever. You both then return to Littleroot Town, but they happily say "See you tomorrow!" before entering their home. As you enter, your parents welcome you home too, wrapping up this beautiful piece.

* Wallace praising you for saving the Hoeen Region, giving you HM Waterfall, and hapily moves aside so the player can finally get his/her 8th badge at the gym.

* Wally had been given more love within these games, as in addition to gaining his own theme song, he gained his own [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome epic Metal battle theme]]. He's also one of the only trainers to gain a Pokémon with Mega Evolution, a honor usually reserved to trainers important to the plot. In addition, after the events at Mt. Chimney, Wally gets listed as a certified trainer within all Pokémon Gyms. Including the ones you had defeated up to that point. This shows just how much he has grown as a trainer.

** It gets better: Win enough Contests in a row and everybody in the Trainer Fan Club in Lilycove will adore you unconditionally, including a little girl who asks you to shake her hand ("Yaaaaaaaay! [[CrowningMomentOfFunny I'm not gonna wash my hand today!"]])

*** An easy-to-miss scene during this part: you can see Wally looking up at the sky, too... and ''he's already at Evergrande City''. It's equal parts heartwarming and [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome]], since it's yet another example of just how far Wally's managed to come as a Trainer.

** Not only this, in the Gyms from Lavaridge Town onward, his name appears *before* yours.

* In Shelly's room in the Aqua hideout, one can find an old picture of two kids smiling happily with the legendary Pokemon, Jirachi. These two kids are strongly implied to be Archie and Shelly themselves... it seems like their love of Pokemon goes a long way back.

* Your main rival character (Brendan/May) tend to evoke this. They want to stick by your side and if they can't be beside you, they're right behind you, supporting you, always. Unlike Calem/Serena, they're not even frustrated or disappointed that they can't beat you. Well, maybe a little bit disappointed, but like with Norman, they're also very proud of you and proud to call you their friend. Simply put? They love you unconditionally, and it's heavily implied (especially for Brendan, who's not as adept at hiding his feelings as May) they have a crush on the player.

* If you ever catch a Bagon and have it evolve all the way to Salamence, this trope is in effect when you remember that all Bagon [[DreamsOfFlying dream of flying]].

* When you become the Champion, the BuzzNav people will talk to Professor Birch about you. He's apparently so close to the family he actually used to change your diapers, which is equal parts embarrassing, amusing, and weirdly heartwarming.

* When you walk into Steven's house and you see a Pokeball with a letter aside it. In the letter, he mentions his busy schedule, asks you to take the Beldum, which is his favorite Pokemon, and says "may our paths crss someday." It's pretty sweet for someone to give you a gift of their favorite Pokemon.

** After defeating the box legendary and saving the world, Archie and Maxie reflect on the world's restoration. Depending on which of them was the antagonist between the two versions, the other will offer them the chance to [[TheAtoner reconcile and mutually rethink their plans to better the world]], but the other refuses, [[ThisIsUnforgiveable feeling there can be no forgiveness after single-handedly bringing the world to its knees]]. Their Admin nearby then tells them that the difficulty in atoning is all the more reason to try, and [[UndyingLoyalty that the Admin will be there along with them to help them do it.]]
