History Neopets / TropesFToL

--->Tropes Plots and Events '''[[Neopets/TropesPlotsAndEvents HERE!]]'''

* LongRunners: The site has been running for ''23 years'' as of March 2021.

* InformedSpecies: Aishas are supposed to be stylized cats, but only their heads and ears bear any resemblance to a cat's. Anthropomorphic Aishas are even ''less'' catlike.

*** The Krawk page assumes that the pet started off as a Krawk petpet that grew to full size in the Fungus Caves. In reality, getting a Krawk that way is incredibly rare due to how uncommon the petpet version is; the majority of Krawks with the default petpage started off as other pets and became Krawks via morphing potion.

* FakeDifficulty: Training your Neopet for the Battledome makes EV (Effort Value) training in ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' look like a cakewalk. While your Neopets do gain experience with each battle, the experience doesn't boost said pets' stats at all. To boost your pets stats, you need to take them to a training school (there are three) which asks for Codestones (not that easy to get ahold of depending on which stone they ask for) or Dubloons (somewhat easier to acquire). However many Codestones they ask of you will only contribute to the boosting of one stat per training session as well. On top of that, ElementalRockPaperScissors doesn't come into play at all. So you can't arm you Neopet with any fire-based weapons in hopes of improving your chances against, say, the Snowager.

** The Usul pet page warns you not to take the Usul Transmogrification Potion and expresses disgust at the results, which becomes humorous if the Usul in question is Mutant.
** Some pet pages will assume all members of the species like a specific food or Petpet, even though it's possible for a pet to reject the food or Petpet if the item has the same number of characters as their name.
** The Kougra petpage mentions the Kougra being entered in the Beauty Contest several times, even if they've never participated.
** The Krawk page assumes that the pet started off as a Krawk petpet that grew to full size in the Fungus Caves. In reality, getting a Krawk that way is incredibly rare due to how uncommon the petpet version is; the majority of Krawks with the default petpage started off as other pets and became Krawks via morphing potion.

** The site gives each pet their own webpage that you can edit. Each species has their own default page, and as a result it becomes... interesting when some pages presume a gender or other detail about the pet, even if it's not the case. A notable example is the one for Usuls, which will ''flat out'' warn you at one point not to take the Usul Transmogrification Potion and expresses disgust at the results, which becomes humorous if the Usul in question is Mutant.

* LoopholeAbuse: When you are on a Faerie Quest you cannot use the Shop Wizard to find your requested item. However, there is no stopping you from going on a side account and using the Shop Wizard to find your item there, or asking someone else to use the Shop Wizard to find you the item.

* FatteningTheVictim: Squire Meekel, one of the opponents in Cellblock, is a prisoner of the Darigan dungeons. He's not sure why he hasn't been eaten yet, but he's started to become suspicious of the large plates of food the guards feed him every day.

* FunWithAutocensors: Often crosses with TakeThat. For instance, the filter rendered it impossible to say "''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]''" or "Creator/StephenieMeyer" without them being turned into Franchise/MyLittlePony or [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Krusty the Clown]].

** Heck, anything Twilight related was blocked out, though only during the new movie releases. Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, main character names… it was all censored.
** Attempting to post "5514344" on the Neoboards will result in the number being autocorrected to "Ghostbusters!"

-->Brightvale isn't that far away, but I've never liked those guys... thinking they're so smart! I'll cut you a break. Have a [name of prize] for your help.

* FoulMedicine: The Elephante Unguent is a Battledome healing item that restores 50% of an Elephante's maximum hit points, but is said to taste like drinking bilge water.

* FunSize: Grape and Pea Chias are much smaller than a normal Chia.

** The game ''Nimmo's Pond'' has the pl ** The game ''Nimmo's Pond'' has the player control the eponymous Nimmo riding on a lily pad to shoot other lily pads. ''Flycatcher'' is played similarly with a Quiggle and a swarm of flies.

** Due to the gigantic amount of Yooyuball players involved in the Altador Cup[[note]]5 players per team x 18 teams = 90 active players at any given time, and counting retired players raises the number even higher[[/note]], many characters have had their genders switched between years due to continuity slipups, including Antola Maeir[[note]]starting 2008[[/note]] (Shenkuu, female to male), Minae Mitora[[note]]starting 2011[[/note]] (Terror Mountain, male to female), Meela Kitah[[note]]starting 2011[[/note]] (Kiko Lake, female to male), Valtonous Rea[[note]]starting 2011[[/note]] (Faerieland, male to female), and Ilsa Ellits[[note]]starting 2011[[/note]] (Meridell, female to male).

* FuzzballSpider: The petpet known as a "spyder" is just a black sphere with six differently-sized legs. It does get slightly more complex by having three pairs of red eyes, however.
