** In the first episode, Parker is elected the leader of the team on two grounds: firstly, his level-headedness and ability to make decisions, and secondly, [[MonsterAdventurers he's the only member with opposable thumbs]]. In later episodes, Parker's thumbs are effectively treated as a badge of office.
** Morgan the Fletchling got the finishing blow on the boss at the end of the first episode, and since it was [[ReforgedIntoAMinion more like a shambling construct of a Pokémon than a normal one]] it appeared to keel over and die. This lead to a joke that Morgan had committed actual murder, and she grew into one of the groups' prime physical attackers this became a depiction of her as a ruthless, ridiculously-buff killing machine - a joke that started rubbing off on other small birds in the series as well.

** Pokemon evolution is mysteriously accelerated around Ash. Pokemon frequently evolve just by being in his presence. This is something of a MythologyGag referencing the TV series.
** Ash gains a reputation for ''destroying'' gyms, starting from the time his Muk uses ''dozens of moves at once'' and completely annihilates Whitney's gym.
** Eventually he manages to leave a gym intact -- and then, as he leaves, an ''entire tankful'' of Wailmer in another room of the gym evolve into Wailord, massively increasing their size and thus breaking the tank and causing extensive damage to the gym.

* In [[FanFic/EquestriaAHistoryRevealed Equestria: A History Revealed]], everypony, including the LemonyNarrator herself, seems to forget about Luna's existence, often just talking about Celestia and then adding a "and Luna too, I suppose" when referring to both princesses. The most prominent example being when Celestia and Luna had defeated King Sombra, he yells out a long and elaborate speech cursing Celestia, before hastily adding a "and Luna too, I suppose" at the very end. Is it any wonder she turns evil later on?
