History TroperWall / MoreFace

*** [[SlippySlideyIceWorld Chillydip Cove]]: Frigid Fossil, which means some trouble for Gee, since [[GeniusBonus her kind never ventured the cold]].
*** [[TheLostWoods Sogwood Forest]]: Pampering Papes, which is about Papes [[TearJerker crying due to nostalgia]].
*** [[MinecartMadness Glitzem Grotto]]: Race with Ronk, in which Rainbow Dash is surprised at [[{{Acrofatic}} how fast Ronk is, considering his size]].
*** [[BubblyClouds Skydye Heights]]: Showdown against Snips, which involves [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Snips causing trouble in the clouds]].
*** [[GangplankGalleon S.S Logwater]]: Snark Snack, which, in some kind of twist, recharacterizes the Mega Snark from an [[HungryMenace eternally hungry monster]] to a [[GentleGiant very friendly pink shark]], courtesy of Fluttershy.
*** [[PlanetOfHats Planet]] [[BunniesForCuteness Bunnera]]: Cosmic Chaos, which introduces the [[TheLadette rather badass doe warrior]] [[http://drn1234.deviantart.com/art/Arubino-the-bunneran-legendary-starfy-oc-558395197 Arubino]], and the Bunneran equivalent to Equestria's Royal Guard and the Wonderbolts, the Hare Cycles.
** You know that BadassCape Snips has, starting with Pampersaurus Regina? Well, she has it in her source material, in S.S Logwater. [[OffModel Aside from cutscenes...]]
** Their CoolShip shows up, complete with control panel.
** The smoke bomb gag returns in [[OneSteveLimit Seige in Equestria]], [[FunnyAfro unnecessary afros and all]].
** Papes's love of milk stems from a single line he said in Sogwood Forest.
*** [[ExactWords "Maybe I'll go home and work on my shield. I could relax, have a cup of milk..."]]
** His [[BarrierWarrior shield]], too. He loves his shield.
** [[PowerGivesYouWings Yoshi gets wings]] in the finale of Adventures in Kalos's Camping Mini-Arc. It's a nod to the fact that he gets wings numerous times throughout his appearances.
* {{Ears As Hair}}: Tootie has a badass ponytail, starting in [[TwentyBearAsses Errand Daze]].
* {{Adaptational Villainy}}: The {{Terrible Trio}} had [[HeelFaceTurn become good FOR SURE]] at the end of their debut game, but come Adventures in Kalos, they [[TheMole appear to have tricked the Bunnerans as part of an attempt to make the murder of the Prince look like an accident]]. The result? They're banished for being exposed. [[BerserkButton Bunston IS NOT AMUSED once Snips and her gang come back.]]
* {{Art Shift}}: Episodes where the Kalos characters even show up for a brief moment have every non-Equestrian (aside from Fido) drawn in traditional 2D animation.
* {{Animation Age Ghetto}}: Seeing as the source material all these characters are from is for children and casuals, it might be surprising seeing these characters (save for the Equestrians, who use [[UnusualEuphemism their OWN colorful language]]) saying words that are most certainly NOT kid-friendly.
* {{When She Smiles}}: Snips [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness smiles very adorably]] [[spoiler:upon breaking from [[DemonicPossession Nightmare's partial fusion with her]], and [[LaserGuidedAmnesia forgetting every single thing from before then]]. This worries her brothers, who haven't forgotten, and pisses off [[HeelFaceTurn pre-friendship Starlight]]]].
* {{Oddball In the Series}}: [[LaserGuidedAmnesia Memory Donked]] is the only humor-oriented Trio-focused episode, despite being the finale of Adventures in Kalos. It focuses on Ronk and Papes being the ones to [[spoiler:try and search for the cure for their sister's amnesia]].
* {{Action Fashionista}}: Gee falls quite squarely into this.
* {{Berserk Button}}: Don't you DARE deny Gee of her [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Grilled Dustox]], ESPECIALLY when it comes to [[IAteWhat the hayburgers]]...
** Also, don't betray [[DarkChick Snips]]. [[UnstoppableRage YOU.]] [[GlowingEyesofDoom WILL.]] [[NightmareFace REGRET IT.]]
* {{Latex Space Suit}}: The Hare Cycle units have badass space suits with ear holes, due to them being, well, rabbits.
* {{Only Known By Their Nickname}}: Downplayed. Nearly all instances of the [[FakeBrit conspicuously Johto-accented]] Tyrunt who represents the Element of Generosity showing up on screen have her being referred to as Gee, but her debut episode has her name being mentioned as [[MeaningfulName Regina Avery]].
** Played straight with Tootie. [[{{Backstory}} She got her nickname]] because a Kalos Nurse asked her what her favorite character on [[WesternAnimation/{{TheFairlyOddParents}} The Fairly OddParents]] was, and she answered [[{{Meganekko}} the bespectacled Tootie]]. No one knows her real name, and she certainly won't give it out for a bit!
* {{Breakout Character}}: Yoshi, of course! Starting as just a support to the Main Kalos Group in Adventures in Kalos, there were a few episodes where he went off and did his own thing. And come Collect the Cells! XYZ, he's now the hero of this story!
* {{Trademark Favorite Food}}: Gee SUUUUUUUUUUURE LOVES her [[AlienLunch Grilled Dustox]]!
** Papes also likes to drink milk.
* {{I Ate WHAT}}: Hayburgers. They're made with real hay! Much to every non-Equestrian's disgust. ESPECIALLY GEE.
* {{Crack Pairing}}: It's canon with Yoshi and [[HeelFaceTurn post-friendship]] Starlight.
* {{Barrier Warrior}}: Papes has a frickin' huge shield! Exactly his size, or bigger!
* {{Old Shame}}: In-Universe, wherein the Trio CLEARLY regrets pretending to be good. The stint got their old master killed.
** To be fair, he was a {{Bad Boss}} and he didn't give his workers enough pay. [[ArsonMurderandJaywalking Also, before he ate Bunston, he kinda had silly hair decorations.]]
* {{Take That}}: From the [[OverlyLongGag MULTIPLE repeated jabs Yoshi makes toward]] [[YouDoNotWantToKnow THAT SHOW]] by making dumb faces and doing dumb things, to the giant sushi roll wearing a [[VideoGame/{{TeamFortress2}} mask depicting a sandwich]] intended as a jab towards 4Kids, to the relegation of [[SuperPersistentPredator the weird Rocket pair]] to merely [[GreekChorus a pair of folks who chill out in the background and appear once every, like, 20 episodes]] (to the point where there are [[EvilKnockoff ROBOT CLONES OF THEM mimicing their dumb personality]] from [[OldShame THAT]])...
** And don't get me started on the jab towards a certain {{Terrible Trio}} of [[TotallyRadical Mario]] [[AnimatedAdaptation animated]] [[MoneyDearBoy shows]] shat out by the Saturday Supercade...
** And also, the Trio seems to not like their [[TheMole friendliness facade]]
* {{Brown Note}}: Until [[CityOfAdventure Return to Honey Island]], George would get migraines when exposed to ANYTHING related to [[SuperMode Mega Evolution]]. Initially he was unaware that any of the ponies could do it (and when he saw AJ do it, he had amnesia from landing in Kalos), but when [[spoiler:Snips was under the effects of some [[DemonicPossession stray Dark Matter]]]], he suddenly had {{Flashback}}s of the time [[spoiler:he was corrupted in [[OhCrap Darkest Days of Lumiose]], and his head started hurting, due to the fact that Fluttershy, [[PlatonicLifePartners his best friend]], Mega Evolved during that part.]]
* {{Luckily My Shield Will Protect Me}}: Papes just has to hold his shield up, and BAM, any attack is instantly blocked.
* {{Take Over The World}}: Exactly how the {{Terrible Trio}} wants to have their way.
* {{Planet of Hats}}: Bunnera is a planet of magical shapeshifting bunnies, and Kalos is a nation of bronies.
** The {{Terrible Trio}}'s perfect idea of an inhabitable planet is to just slap a {{Rock Paper Scissors}} motif on everything. And once Kalos's secrets are let out, they plan to just plain RESHAPE IT (and Equestria), including the name!
* {{Crowning Music of Awesome}}: The cover of [[Anime/{{MyNeighborTotoro}} Hey Let's Go]] from Errand Daze. It. Is. Great.
** [[VillainSong No Escape]] [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong takes notes]] ([[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial pun not intended]]) [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong from]] Firebird by Kitsune Squared. But it still manages to be awesome in its own way!
** Ditto [[spoiler:the TriumphantReprise of [[IAmSong We'll Make Our Mark]]...]]
* {{One Steve Limit}}: Lampshaded in [[SaveBothWorlds Siege on Equestria]]. Snails, an orange Unicorn colt, finds "a giant bunny-girl" when she falls off [[BigFancyCastle Castle Ponyville]]. He then calls for his best friend Snips (who here is a MALE blue Unicorn foal), which triggers a reaction from the bunny-girl.
-->Wait. How did you [know my name]...?
Then it comes to Snails that there are [[NamesTheSame TWO Snipses]] in this place!
* {{Power Gives You Wings}}: Snips's [[BadassCape sweet new cape]] acts as wings, thanks to some magic. [[spoiler:And that's not even getting to Perfect Janken and her ACTUAL fairy wings...]]
** Yoshi also gains friggin' amazing bird wings (animated here as Princess Luna's wings, but with Princess Celestia's colors) once he beats the Trio again.
* {{Power High}}: [[spoiler:[[OneWingedAngel Perfect Janken]] seems to be having a bit TOO much fun trying to destroy the Cutie Mark Crusaders, [[TakenForGranite cast Castle Ponyville in stone]], and turn Kalos and Equestria into a pair of {{Dystopia}}e named [[CrapsaccharineWorld Paperock and Paperock Equus]]...]]
* {{Large Ham}}: There are some:
** Yoshi is pretty boastful.
** Fido is loud, and funny!
** Sweetie Belle takes after her sister and loves to be dramatic.
** Unsurprisingly, for a Brian Drummond role, [[FatBastard girthy Ronk]] is pretty porkish.
** Despite Kazumi Evans being [[PlayingAgainstType weirdly unhammy]], [[DarkActionGirl slender Snips]] LOVES to be hammy AND creepy.
*** [[spoiler:[[AGodAmI Per]][[PhysicalGod fect]] [[OneWingedAngel Jan]][[SuperMode ken]] LOVES to [[EvilLaugh cackle maniacally]]]]!
** [[TheNapoleon Fun-sized Papes]] gets angry easily, and it shows!
** [[CloudcuckooLander The Mermaid]] combines naivety and humor for some gut-busting ham!
* {{The Unintelligible}}: Squishy and Guano are this, the former only speaking in squeaks, and the latter speaking nothing but bat noises (due to him being a baby bat).
** Prior to evolution, Fido was only able to [[AllAnimalsAreDogs speak dog]].
* {{Heart Drive}}: Yoshi's amulet has pretty much become this, to the point where if it's ever removed, HIS WINGS ALSO GO AWAY.
* {{Nightmare Face}}: Espurr's face qualifies.
** Same with Snips and her vast collection of {{Slasher Smile}}s.
** [[spoiler:Perfect Janken's hideously scary {{Slasher Smile}} also qualifies!]]
* {{Took a Level in Cynic}}: Yoshi's been pretty snarky throughout his appearance in Adventures in Kalos and Collect the Cells! XYZ. Sure he has spades of his go-getter personality from his source material, but still!
* {{Horrible Judge of Character}}: The Bunnerans were initially accepting of the {{Terrible Trio}} once their old master was killed, despite their {{Obviously Evil}} appearance. Seriously, can you expect a {{Fat Bastard}}, a [[PintSizedPowerhouse tiny braided shield user]], and a {{Dark Action Girl}} to be friendly, especially when the latter example [[SlasherSmile loves]] [[SmugSmiler to]] [[PsychoticSmirk smile]] in a [[NightmareFace scary]] fashion!?
* {{Adventure Duo}}: [[TheHero Yoshi]] and his [[MakingASplash Vaporeon]], [[TheLancer Kumar]] are this.
* {{Living Relic}}: Squishy and the [[HiveMind other Zygarde Cores and Cells]] would CERTAINLY fit into this category!
* {{A God Am I}}: [[spoiler:Perfect Janken's beautifully scary form is enough to qualify as ascension to {{Physical God}}hood!]]
* {{The Napoleon}}: Papes gets angry easily. And he also gets emotional!
* {{Helicopter Hair}}: Papes's hilarious braid counts.
* {{Never Bareheaded}}: I'm not even kidding, Snips never takes off her weird... mask... hat... helmet... thing. It makes her look kinda like a demented bunny!
* {{Doomsday Device}}: Turns out to be [[spoiler:Yoshi's amulet once Snips takes it away from him. She puts it on, and... Well, let's just say she becomes a {{Doomsday Device}} herself.]]
* {{Cross Dressing Voices}}: Aside from just Spike, Cathy Weseluck also does Lumiose Gym Leader Clemont.
** Madeline Peters voices post-evolution Fido in her Scootaloo voice.
* {{Talking To Himself}}: Tootie, Gee, and Snips are voiced by one Kazumi Evans. So is [[OneSceneWonder one-off character Arubino]].
** Same goes to Scootaloo and [[SuddenlyVoiced post-evolution Fido]], only this time with Madeline Peters.
** [[CrossDressingVoices Spike and Clemont]] qualify due to Cathy Weseluck voicing them both.
* {{Building of Adventure}}: Lumiose Gym/Prism Tower is the basis for two plots: Darkest Days of Lumiose and [[OhCrap Your Worst Nightmare]].
* {{Sealed Evil In a Can}}: [[EldritchAbomination Nightmare]] was accidentally released from an Assist Trophy Yoshi was holding.
* {{Trippy Finale Syndrome}}: [[spoiler:Hey, what happens when you give [[DarkActionGirl an already magically empowered she-pirate]] [[HeartDrive an UBER powerful amulet]]? She fuses with her two brothers (one of whom is [[FatBastard large and ham-fisted]], the other one being a [[TheNapoleon petite braided guy]]) and creates [[OneWingedAngel the ultimate world-conquering she-demon-fairy-bunny-thing]]! Who then proceeds to [[AnotherDimension travel to a dimension populated by magical talking horses]] [[TakenForGranite and turn the resident giant tree-castle into stone]] and [[WesternAnimation/{{RegularShow}} later]] [[VideoGame/{{RatchetAndClank}} go]] [[WesternAnimation/{{TheSimpsons}} dimension-hopping]] with an also-fused trio of tiny horses and [[FinalBossNewDimension end up in some overview dimension]] [[AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield detailing the worlds she took over when she was still 3 separate beings]] before being defeated in a game of {{Rock Paper Scissors}} and then a BeamOWar.]]
* {{Magic Map}}: Aside from Equestria's Cutie Map, the Star Rod also has its OWN Cutie Map detailing Kalos, with the "call my friends" function it can use to communicate with Equestria.
* {{The Three Trials}}: [[spoiler:Parfum Palace has been converted into a [[BigFancyCastle huge, five-story palace]], with the trials on the middle three floors. The {{Rock Paper Scissors}} motif continues throughout all of them. The first trial is centered on Papes and involves a tight network of tunnels you can't {{Intangibility}} spell your way out of. The second trial is centered on Ronk and is about shifting platforms over which you can't fly. The third trial is centered on Snips and is made of tons of sharp weaponry that's [[AntiMagic immune to magic]]. In short, {{Dungeon Bypass}} is inverted because it's [[GenreSavvy against the rules]].]]
* {{Roger Rabbit Effect}}: [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness In the earliest episodes of Adventures in Kalos]], there was a trend to end Internet episodes with the characters appearing out of a real life person's computer.
* {{Chuck Cunningham Syndrome}}: A PLACE has gotten this treatment! Precisely, the Internet.
** Same with the "endives" guy.
* {{Mundane Made Awesome}}: {{Rock Paper Scissors}} of all activities gets this treatment, it being the basis for the {{Big Bad}} and her two {{Co Dragons}}.
* {{Nerd Action Hero}}: Yoshi is a very knowledgeable video game buff, yet he's responsible for being {{Badass}} and helping 3 small children {{Save Both Worlds}}.
* {{Save Both Worlds}}: The Cutie Mark Crusaders are chosen to put Equestria and Kalos at peace.
* {{Ugly Cute}}: Gee, being a Tyrunt, qualifies as such.
* {{Villain with Good Publicity}}: The Trio was aiming to be such in Return to Honey Island, but once they were corrupted, [[LargeHam the incredibly hammy Ursaring corporate boss]] was relieved to find out the ObviouslyEvil competitors were TRULY heartless after all!
* {{Had to Be Sharp}}: Snips is such... [[MemeticMutation Like old cheese]], maybe.
* {{Shield Bash}}: Papes does this once or twice.
* {{Throwing your Shield Always Works}}: Papes tries to throw it at the CMC, but then Tootie steps in and blocks it with HER BARE HANDS!!
* {{Pop Culture Isolation}}: In-Universe here. Nobody in Kalos knows who Maud Pie is. It's 'cause her episode was [[BannedInChina banned in Kalos]] for containing [[FelonyMisdemeanor rocks]].
* {{Mass Oh Crap}}: [[spoiler:The good guys can only hold gaping maws open and cower behind the now-fallen Yoshi once Perfect Janken is formed.]]
* {{Hair Decorations}}: Tootie's [[EarsAsHair ponytail]] has a pink scrunchie as the holder. It makes her look badass.
* {{Fighter Mage Thief}}: There's 4 Trios arranged as such. The Cutie Mark Crusaders; Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity; Applejack, Fluttershy, and Twilight Sparkle; and the {{Terrible Trio}}.
* {{Speak in Unison}}: "Cutie Mark Crusaders Forever!"
* {{Joker Immunity}}: The {{Terrible Trio}} is unstoppable, until [[spoiler:they've fused together and it takes the speed of Scootaloo, the strength of Applebloom, and the magic of Sweetie Belle to destroy this perfect monster.]]
* {{Shout Out}}: Several.
** [[WesternAnimation/{{SouthPark}} I'm not fat! I'm just big-boned!]]
** [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/{{PokemonBlackAndWhite}} I'm absolutely perfect! I am... PERFECTION!!]]]]
** On seeing the Mermaid's Takoyaki presentation, Twilight says, [[ComicStrip/{{CalvinAndHobbes}} I saw what went in there! I'm not trying it!]]
** It's how Tootie got her [[WesternAnimation/{{TheFairlyOddParents}} name]]!
** During his first fusion with Kumar, we hear Yoshi's voiceover: [[WesternAnimation/{{MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic}} Friendship is Magic]].
* {{Periphery Demographic}}: In-Universe, pretty much 90% of Kalos's population is a brony, to the point where October 10th is considered a holiday!
* {{Skewed Priorities}}: Gee must be connected to Rarity in more ways than she thought. She has fashion over everything else.
** Same with Papes and his shield.
** Ronk doesn't like to be called slow just 'cause he's [[AcroFatic fat]].
* {{Voice of the Legion}}: [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness Yoshi did this when he was super-pissed at the Stupid Malleo Bros Stupid Show.]]
* {{Power Up Full Color Change}}: [[spoiler:The Cutie Mark Crusaders' fusion together creates a beige pony with yellow hooves, orange wings, and a white horn. Her name is Perfect Crusader.]]
* {{All There In The Script}}: [[spoiler:Perfect Crusader and Perfect Janken are only given names [[http://legacy-galaxy.deviantart.com/gallery/58211800/The-Chronicles-of-Perfection here]].]]
** The Night Glider example is lampshaded, as Rainbow Dash says, "Oh hey! [[LovableJock Double Diamond]], [[GenkiGuy Party Favor]], [[SupremeChef Sugar Belle]], and[[BreadEggsMilkSquick ...]] [[NoNameGiven Uh...]]" To which [[TheLadette Night Glider]] introduces herself.
* {{Place of Power}}: Lumiose's Gym, Prism Tower, is the place where the Star Rod was found, and it's [[spoiler:also where the Crusaders' Cutie Boards end up orbiting around, keeping the Trio's essence from ever rising again.]]
* {{Pimped Out Cape}}: Snips's badass Fairy-Wing cape.
* [[HiveQueen Hive King]]: Squishy is considered this to his fellow Cells[[spoiler: and Cores]].
* {{Unfortunate Name}}: Squishy was forced to be known as such by Applebloom.
* {{Intelligible Unintelligible}}: Applebloom regularly has conversations with Squishy. She's the only one who can understand him.
* {{Repeating So the Audience can Hear}}: It's only natural; Squishy's squeaking is never given any subtitles as to what he said.
* {{Crazy Awesome}}: Yoshi, Kumar, Pinkie Pie, the {{Terrible Trio}}...
* {{Super Mode}}: Aside from the Rainbow Power/Mega Evolution shenanigans, we also have the previous Bearers of Harmony (Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight Sparkle) being able to fuse with the current Bearers of Harmony (George, Tootie, Gee, Fido, Guano, and Amphy). Same with Yoshi and Kumar, both of them being the Core of Friendship.
** Yoshi can also Primal Reverse once he comes into physical contact with the Star Rod. So far, he'd only done this in fights with Nightmare, but once Starlight managed to call him at the right moment, he was finally able to stand a chance against Lysandre (who, at this point, now has black wings and [[PlayingWithFire pyrokinesis]] thanks to that amulet).
* {{Closest Thing We Got}}: From an exchange in the newest episode, [[SickEpisode Over Laverre]]:
-->Applejack: But... What about Tootie!?
-->Yoshi: {runs and gets [[CheerfulChild Charlie]] from the PC and magics a replica Element of Honesty gem on his chest} [[ShoutOut Congratulations, Charlie, you're the new Tootie!]]
** Needless to say, it doesn't work in trying to fuse Yoshi with Kumar again.
* {{Sick Episode}}: In Over Laverre, the Mermaid gets sick from swimming in swamp water. It's up to Tootie to find the cure, which is in the basement of the Laverre Pokemon Center, in drawer 249.
** In A Rare Disease, Rarity is the patient this time. [[BadlyBatteredBabysitter Tootie doesn't like having to fetch ridiculously outlandish items for her picky patient...]]
* {{Irrational Hatred}}: Bunston and his people REALLY DISLIKE the {{Terrible Trio}}... It must be because of the part where the latter tried to kill the former!
* {{There Is Another}}: There's more than one Zygarde Core!? As it turns out, Squishy isn't alone when it came to being a Zygarde Core. There's a blue Zygarde Core the Crusaders name Cora.
** Then it turns out to be a subversion, becuase Squishy and Cora are the only two Zygarde Cores to ever exist.
* {{Title Sequence Replacement}}: A lot over the years. There was one set in cutout animation set to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4kVrMW9blE The Bwargh of Fillydelphia]], one animated in Pixel Art set to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M75l-fxIk4 the Bonus Stage theme from Sonic 2]], and the Collect the Cells! XYZ one is animated in colored silhouettes set to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNBAuQUdJME Starfire Speedway]].
* {{Braids of Barbarism}}: Papes's braid is [[spoiler:inherited and carried over to Perfect Janken as {{Mega Twintails}}.]]
* {{Distant Reaction Shot}}: From a nearby city, [[TheOneThatGotAway Unicorn wizard Sunburst]] saw a distant [[ColorCodedWizardry blue]] explosion. He knew it was Starlight, he recognizes her by magic color.
** Only it turns out, this Sunburst [[spoiler:was really a Changeling this whole time, [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith and only assumed the form of Sunburst so Starlight would be happy]]]].
* {{Tertiary Sexual Characteristics}}: The male Squishy has a red hexagon, while the female Cora has a blue one. It subverts {{Pink Girl Blue Boy}}.
* {{Officially Shortened Title}}: Collect the Cells! XYZ has been shortened to just CTC!XYZ on multiple occasions.
* {{Hair Trigger Temper}}: Clemont is adapted here as a snarky little kid. He's gone through this often.
* {{The Bad Guy Wins}}: [[spoiler:If Perfect Crusader hadn't managed to defeat Perfect Janken, the world would've been put into eternal turmoil.]]
* {{We Used to Be Friends}}: Starlight betrays the {{Terrible Trio}}, and Snips [[BerserkButton goes insane with anger]].
* [[ChildMage Foal Mage]]: Sweetie Belle is very competent when it comes to using magic with her horn. To the point she learned Twilight's {{Crystal Prison}} spell!
* {{Weaponized Landmark}}: [[spoiler:Prism Tower, with the help of the Cutie Boards, shoots [[FrickinLaserBeams a beam of energy]] at every single place previously taken over by the {{Terrible Trio}}, thereby never letting their essence rise again.]]
* {{Even Evil Has Standards}}: The {{Terrible Trio}} DOES genuinely care for each other, as shown by Snips being [[DemonicPossession corrupted again]], but not her brothers. The madness ends by way of [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming an incredibly heartfelt speech about how they complement each other, and if she decided to kill all plant life, none of the OTHER life would remain]].
** [[SugarWiki/{{HeartwarmingMoments}} "Now that I think about it...]] [[GroupHug Come here, you!"]]
*** A similar case happened with Snips falling off the Flare Frigate, her bracelet disabled by Starlight intervening with the Rainbow Droplet's power. Needless to say, Ronk and Papes end up [[TearJerker CRYING about it]]. They even lament that without their older sister, they wouldn't be balanced and they'd instead be a Terrible Duo.
*** Lysandre, just like most other Kalos natives, hates hates [[BerserkButton HATES]] {{Rock Paper Scissors}}, which is why he fired the {{Terrible Trio}}.
* {{Fictional Holiday}}: October 10th is celebrated around Kalos as Equestria Appreciation Day, in which ponies get even more attention, and the Kalos Entertainment Network (usually the primary source for animation in Kalos) displays nothing but [[WesternAnimation/{{MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic}} MLP: Friendship is Magic]], to the point where you can only fit the series up to Magical Mystery Cure within one whole day one year, and it loops back to Fall Weather Friends the next! Also, Kalos Hayburger chains allow a Buy One Get One Free special, where any meal purchased nets you an extra hayburger for absolutely free!
* {{Villain Team Up}}: The {{Terrible Trio}} joined [[ImmortalitySeeker Team Flare]] as an act of revenge against Starlight Glimmer.
* {{We Can Rule Together}}: OOOOH BOY, how Snips, Ronk, and Papes WILL CHANGE TEAM FLARE (and the world, to an extent) once they join them...
* {{Villainous Fashion Sense}}: Oh my God, the {{Terrible Trio}} have SERIOUSLY LAID the red and black on a bit thick after joining Team Flare...
* {{Evil Is Hammy}}: Weird as they might be, the {{Terrible Trio}} make a strangely dramatic entrance, with a perfect row of Grunts on each side, and THEN the smoke bombs WORK this time. No afros. Nothing of the sort. Naturally, the Mane 6 lampshade this.
* {{All Loving Hero}}: Yoshi qualifies as such. He used to not be a brony, but when the Mane 6 left Kalos to accomplish bigger things, he began to like the technicolor equines. He legitimately cares for everyone he calls a friend, and his caretaking towards the Cutie Mark Crusaders makes him a great friend.
* {{Good Is Not Nice}}: Yoshi falls into this sometimes, but he's rather tender in the end.
* {{Magic Staff}}: The Staff of Sameness when it was given real magic, before it got absorbed by the smaller, more efficient bracelet. Needless to say, [[BerserkButton Starlight was NOT amused when she found out]].
* {{Emerging From the Shadows}}: It's how the {{Terrible Trio}} reveal themselves (via an epic smokebomb) after joining Team Flare.
* {{Ultimate Evil}}: Team Flare's boss is like this at the moment.
* {{Plot Coupon}}: There are 100 Zygarde Cells [[spoiler:and 2 Cores]] that are scattered throughout Kalos. The Crusaders' Cutie Marks will glow green whenever one of them is nearby.
* {{Easily Conquered World}}: It should be easy for the {{Terrible Trio}} to take over Kalos, what with them having access to magic and being members of Team Flare now...
* {{Reign of Terror}}: Team Flare and the {{Terrible Trio}} both aim for this. But they both have different ideas on what their perfect world should look like. None of Team Flare knows what the {{Terrible Trio}}'s idea of a perfect world is...
* {{Magical Accessory}}: The bracelet that absorbs (and in turn replaces) the staff qualifies as such. [[ColorCodedWizardry It's pink, the magic from the staff was pink...]]
* {{Technicolor Death}}: [[spoiler:Perfect Janken happens to go out the DBZ way and then shockwaves happen.]]
* {{Beautiful Void}}: [[spoiler:The overview dimension Perfect Janken created qualifies.]]
* {{Dressing As the Enemy}}: The Old and New Bearers of Harmony, Starlight, and the CMC get red sunglasses, red sweaters, and fake Cutie Marks to blend in with Team Flare's red crew, courtesy of [[WesternAnimation/{{MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls}} Sunset Shimmer]]. And a Flare-branded bandanna for Amphy to hide his gem.
* {{Join or Die}}: Snips makes a threat like this to Tootie. But Tootie, knowing she can't abandon her friends, chooses to die instead. Thankfully she's saved at the last second.
* {{OOC Is Serious Business}}: Amphy says the following: "[[ARareSentence I know this is gonna sound strange coming from me, but...]] We have to save Snips!"
* {{The Medic}}: Tootie counts, as does minor character [[DoJikko Trista the Audino]].
* {{Brainwashed and Crazy}}: Aside from Yoshi and RD during both encounters with one particular Malamar, there's also Applejack's cousin [[{{Keet}} Braeburn]] and his {{Face Heel Turn}} in joining Team Flare.
* {{Evil Costume Switch}}: Now that Braeburn's joined Team Flare, his vest and hat are now red, his Cutie Mark was changed from a single apple to the Team Flare Logo, and he now wears sunglasses due to [[EyeScream having his eyes forcibly removed]].
* {{Face Heel Turn}}: Braeburn, upon joining Team Flare.
* {{Eye Scream}}: Folks who join Team Flare (with the exception of two Grunts who work in the red Cafe in Lumiose and the {{Terrible Trio}}) have their eyes forcibly removed so that they can wear bright red sunglasses.
* {{In Their Own Image}}: Both Team Flare and the {{Terrible Trio}} see different ideas of the perfect picture of Kalos. Team Flare knows what the boss wants: A world of immortals. But they don't know what the {{Terrible Trio}} wants...
* {{Rule 50}}: This crosses FOUR franchises over: VideoGame/{{Yoshis Island}}, VideoGame/{{Pokemon X and Y}}, VideoGame/{{The Legendary Starfy}}, and WesternAnimation/{{My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic}}.
* [[spoiler:{{Mega Twintails}}: Perfect Janken has [[EightiesHair HUGE]], [[BraidsofBarbarism BRAIDED]], [[MulticoloredHair TRI-COLOR]] twintails that [[PrehensileHair end in FISTS]]!]]
* {{From Nobody to Nightmare}}: In their source material, the {{Terrible Trio}} could be qualified as a group of mercenaries who were only able to [[EasilyConqueredWorld take on Pufftop with ease]] simply because the guards weren't trained enough. As of this day, they've become more {{Badass}} than any {{Ensemble Darkhorse}} would even HOPE to be, what with them finding Equestrian magic in Kalos, and now they've joined Team Flare!
* {{Odd Friendship}}: Have you ever seen a [[CluckingFunny Blaz]][[PlayingWithFire iken]], touted as basically [[Franchise/{{StreetFighter}} Ryu]] as a giant chicken, being great friends with Fluttershy, whose [[MeaningfulName very name]] can give you a hint as to her supreme levels of meekness?? I think not.
** Ditto fabulous Rarity and a tiny T.Rex, as well as speedster Rainbow Dash and a tiny Noibat who loves apples.
* [[spoiler:{{Ominous Floating Castle}}: Parfum Palace becomes this once Snips intervenes.]]
* {{Absurdly Bright Light}}: Yoshi's amulet gives this off in response to any signs of Janken. It's so bright, turns the screen white!
** Once the Mermaid (by pure luck) beats Snips in a bout of {{Rock Paper Scissors}}, Yoshi's amulet activates its Janken-detecting function, which, even after covering it with his hands, still gives of intense light that turns the screen bright blue save for outlines, which turn black.
* {{The Starscream}}: Inverted: Starlight Glimmer, after coming back from Equestria, reveals a secret: Friendship stopped her from associating herself with the {{Terrible Trio}} any longer! The inversion comes into play once you realize Starlight was the master, and the {{Terrible Trio}} were her three proteges.
* {{Supreme Chef}}: The Mermaid is a particularly competent chef, at least when it comes to Takoyaki.
* {{The Reveal}}: Upon seeing the [[CoolBoat Flare Frigate]] for the first time...
** Mermaid: You mean we were on a boat this whole time!?
* {{Weaksauce Weakness}}: The Mermaid, being half-fish, finds it impossible to get by on land, so she has to [[PowerUpMount ride on George's back]] or risk epic back pain. When the Core of Friendship summons a giant aqueous bubble, that's when the Mermaid finally gets an advantage in a mostly-land environment!
* {{Cool Boat}}: The Flare Frigate, based off the [[VideoGame/{{PokemonBlackAndWhite2}} Plasma Frigate]] before it. Of course, the {{Terrible Trio}} came up with the idea [[ItMakesSenseInContext and probably stole the blueprints from Unova]]...
* {{Mage in Manhattan}}: Nobody knows where the {{Terrible Trio}} REALLY comes from, but they were banished from Bunnera as a response to an attempted assassination of the prince. They landed in Kalos, discovered Equestrian magic leaking there, and now plan to use this magic (initially contained in the Staff of Sameness, but later stored in the smaller, more efficient bracelet) to conquer Kalos AND Equestria!
** Played straight, as they snuck into Equestria late one night, and kidnapped Babs Seed.
* {{Gosh Dang It to Heck}}: Played with. In lighthearted episodes with the Kalos Crew involved, the crew tends to completely avert this trope; the {{Deranged Animation}} makes things even better! In the most serious episodes (i.e most of CTC!XYZ), the swears are limited to "hell", "damn", "Oh my God", and the occasional "bitch". {{Unusual Euphemism}}s may or may not apply.
* {{Deranged Animation}}: The lighthearted Kalos-Crew-centric episodes have this in SPADES!
* {{Taken for Granite}}: There's a spell that induces this. In Adventures in Kalos, Trixie casted a slow-version on George that could only be broken if Yoshi could defeat her within the amount of time that it took. [[DarkActionGirl Snips]] can cast a version that takes its effect rather quickly.
* {{Amulet of Concentrated Awesome}}: Yoshi has an amulet that allows him to use psychokinesis. The amulet has a blue glow and it came from an Espurr. Snips had been given the Staff of Sameness by her [[TheStarscream then]]-[[HeelFaceTurn boss]] Starlight Glimmer, and filled it with Unicorn magic to make it useful. Come Collect the Cells! XYZ, though, and the Staff gets absorbed by the smaller, more efficient bracelet. [[spoiler:You do NOT wanna know what happens when the amulet and the bracelet are on the same person...]]
* {{Elite Four}}: The Flare Quadruplets qualify as this. Brunette Aliana is {{Tsundere}}, blue-headed Mable is {{Dandere}}, green-haired Bryony is {{Yandere}}, and purple-locked Celosia is {{Kuudere}}.
* {{With Friends Like These}}: The Flare Quadruplets (also known as the Flare Girls) tend to argue all the time.
* {{Sibling Rivalry}}: When the Team Flare aficionados known as the {{Terrible Trio}} order the Flare Girls to go gung-ho on our heroes, the four ladies [[SugarWiki/{{FunnyMoments}} promptly start arguing over who should land the first blow]].
* {{Smashing Watermelons}}: In one episode of Adventures in Kalos, Sweetie Drops had Lyra practice shooting watermelons with a sniper rifle... until Snips destroys another watermelon with her magic.
* {{Blow You Away}}: Which is exactly what the Huffinfluff does once Pinkie Pie [[WhatAnIdiot keeps incessantly ringing that bell]], which, by the way, is loud enough to wake the [[HeavySleeper sleeping giant]] cloud.
* {{Scared of Whats Behind You}}: The intimidation comes not from the two fast-flying Pegasi (Rainbow Dash and Night Glider), but rather, the renegade Huffinfluff behind them both.
* {{MacGuffin}}: In the arc ''For Want of a Rainbow Droplet'', it's the ever-forgotten [[HealingPotion Rainbow Droplets]], only found in Skydye Heights, and even then, not very common in the area of Skydye Heights where the [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters 24-character group]] ends up.
* {{Teeth Clenched Teamwork}}: Ronk and Papes care so much about their sister that they can't help but team up with Yoshi and co.
* {{Closet Geek}}: Snips turns out to [[CallBack LOOOOOVE Daring Do]], after initially rejecting it due to it containing ponies (and Starlight Glimmer, their previous master, happens to BE a pony). Rainbow Dash even calls her Daring Snippy!
* {{Troubling Unchildlike Behavior}}: Clemont is only 7, and he's already looking for a wife!?
* {{May December Romance}}: Clemont, the young boy who never stops snarking, is marrying [[VideoGame/{{Kirby64TheCrystalShards}} Ribbon]], a high-spirited fairy who looks no younger than 25.
* {{April Fools Plot}}: [[TastesLikeDiabetes The]] {{Terrible Trio}} [[TastesLikeDiabetes goes around embracing their]] {{Heel Face Turn}} [[TastesLikeDiabetes by doing nice things: For example, Ronk hugs Ruby while cooing,]] [[CallBack "Oh, Ruby... Such a sweet thing!"]] [[TastesLikeDiabetes Another instance would be Papes laughing and hugging]] [[LetsPlay/{{MasaeAnela}} a purple Unicorn with brown eyes, a black mane, and a Triforce with Female Sign Cutie Mark]][[TastesLikeDiabetes . Snips actually takes the time]] [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness to visit Equestria]] [[TastesLikeDiabetes to hug Snails, while the other Snips watches warily. Then, the non-Equestrian Snips goes to Pufftop and visits Bunnera, just up and to the West of Pufftop Castle, so she can try to apologize to Bunston for being such a dick.]] [[HilarityEnsues Bunston doesn't buy it.]]
** Meanwhile, [[spoiler:Magearna]] has found herself in [[BigFancyCastle Castle Ponyville]]. [[WeaksauceWeakness She's programmed to curl up in a ball when shocked]], like when the big-ass castle doors close. [[RandomEventsPlot Thus begins a hilarious sequence of her rolling about Equestria, bucking all the apples in Sweet Apple Acres with Big Macintosh watching the whole time, conking Silver Spoon in the head, ruining Rarity's dresses she had on display in Ponyville Carousel, flying up to Cloudsdale thanks to Thunderlane practicing for the Wonderbolts, landing in Rainbow Dash's room, being discovered (and pushed out by) Tank, being thrown by a manly Pegasus to Canterlot, zip-zooming right through Twilight's old old room, being picked up (and subsequently dropped) by Soarin, snowballing into the Frozen North, landing in the Crystal Empire, being found by Flurry Heart, being flown over to Yakyakistan, getting punted into Appleloosa by Prince Rutherford, bouncing off the Appleloosa clock tower, landing in the Dragon Lands, getting flown by Garble to his hideout, getting stolen by a passing Griffon and carried over to Griffonstone, landing in a chamber nest that leads to the McColts' side of the Smoky Mountains, being spotted by Big Daddy McColt, being shout-punted over to what used to be Starlightgrad, and finally, being taken back to Castle Ponyville by all who were in on this incident.]]
* {{Simultaneous Arcs}}: Story #1: The Kalos Elements of Harmony, Yoshi, and Kumar are trying to stop the {{Terrible Trio}}, who are currently in Canterlot doing battle with the two Princesses, and [[AGodAmI winning, if only by a margin's hair]]. {{Meanwhile}}, Zygarde and the CMC have come to Glitzem Grotto to help Maud find [[CompanionCube her pet pebble Boulder]] with two Swabbies named Michael and Stephanie.
* {{Needle in a Stack of Needles}}: Boulder, a pebble, is lost in Glitzem Grotto, a cave. Caves are filled with stones of all kinds, oftentimes MADE of stone themselves!
* {{Lets Split Up Gang}}: The {{Terrible Trio}} decide to split up [[CallBack like they did in their source material]]. Papes takes Ponyville, Ronk goes to the Pie Family farm, and Snips pays the Crystal Empire a visit. Goes double when Scootaloo, Applebloom, and Sweetie Belle have to go to those places, respectively, by way of Cutie Map!
* {{What an Idiot}}: Tootie strangely causes all the Pokemon Centers in Kalos to close once she warns the Snowbelle nurse of the {{Terrible Trio}}'s forthcomings. Everyone even calls her out on it!
* {{Stylistic Self Parody}}: The Mermaid feels a bit of a chill once in Snowbelle, possibly due to the fact that she's wearing nothing but a bra and bracelets. George helps her into the shirt she wears to sleep!
* {{Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny}}: The episode [[BraggingRightsReward Winding Woods Surprise]] can be summed up in one sentence:
-->Mermaid: Am I the only one who thinks this is... {sees something glowing right next to her} [[LargeHam TOTALLY AMAZING!?]]
* {{Genki Girl}}: [[spoiler:Silverline the Shiny Phantump]] is this to even more of a degree than the Mermaid!
* {{Theme Tune Cameo}}: The first usage of [[DishingOutDirt Land's Wrath]] calls for the {{Theme Song}} of CTC!XYZ!
* {{Crouching Moron Hidden Badass}}: Inverted, for the mayor of Pokemon Village (Mewtwo) is actually quite the {{Smug Snake}} under normal circumstances, keeping tabs on every inhabitant in the tiny town, and instantly recognizing the {{Terrible Trio}} as not being from that town, yet when they suggest {{Rock Paper Scissors}}, he's next seen cowering against the wall of the cave he calls his office, and [[FunnyBackgroundEvent the next few scenes showing the cave's entrance show a door during various stages of completion]].
* {{Funny Background Event}} and {{Meaningful Background Event}}: Mewtwo builds a door in front of his cave's entrance, scene by scene. When Ronk tries to ram into the door, Mewtwo blocks the fatty using some of his psychokinetic powers.
* {{Badly Battered Babysitter}}: Tootie is forced to do ridiculous tasks for Rarity, who keeps her perfectionist personality, even when she has a cold!
* {{Brief Accent Imitation}}: Tootie responds to yet ANOTHER of Rarity's outrageous requests with this hilarious bit:
-->You know what I'm tired of? "Oh, please, darling, would you fetch me my reading glasses and a good book? I would REALLY like a good read!"
* {{Badass}}: Mina the Jigglypuff, the dashing secretary to Mayor Mewtwo, is twelve times more badass than Tootie.
* {{The Reveal}}: This:
-->Tootie: Mina!?
-->Mina: [[spoiler:Amy!?]]
-->Everyone else: *gasps in awe*
** It turns out, Mina and Tootie knew each other in college, and Tootie's real name is [[spoiler:Amy]]!
* {{Darker and Edgier}}: Adventures in Kalos is nice and light, but it has its fair share of dark moments. Collect the Cells! XYZ, on the other hoof, ramps up the edginess to [[UpToEleven 11]]. For one, in the most recent episode, [[DoomedHometown Beloved Pokemon Village]], in stark contrast to Mayor Mewtwo's introduction in [[LighterandSofter Mayor Pains]] (where nobody died), the {{Terrible Trio}} sick their Wormadams (they have one for each Cloak now) on random inhabitants, and any losers get thrown into the well. Naturally, Sweetie Belle takes offense to this treatment of poor innocent civilians, so she agrees to challenge Snips to a fencing match. She loses, so she's subjected to the wrath that three Wormadams can cause: a combination of [[OhCrap Earthquake, Leaf Storm, and Gyro Ball]], [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill all at once]]! It's their personal Triple Finish! The last thing the poor Unicorn sees before the danger closes in on her is three scheming faces. No matter how much Sweetie Belle begs and pleads for the madness to stop, it only seems to keep going. Finally, BANG! The other two Crusaders approach the poor filly, trying to get her to wake up, but no luck. She's [[spoiler:dead]]. Snips proceeds to take the body to the well, as with the other losers. [[BerserkButton Of course]], [[RageBreakingPoint this angers]] [[BerserkerTears Scootaloo]], to the point of [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown pummeling the]] {{Terrible Trio}} [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown within an inch of their lives!]]
* {{Disney Death}}: Aside from George's in Return of the Malamar and Tootie's in Return to Honey Island, [[spoiler:Sweetie Belle]] is the unfortunate victim of [[TearJerker a particularly nasty one]] in Beloved Pokemon Village. It's up to Tootie to find something that will [[JustifiedTrope cure]] her so the trinity can be whole again!
* {{Hand Gagging}}: Snips does this when her brother Ronk almost says [[VideoGame/{{AlexKidd}} the name]] of the {{Terrible Trio}}'s future {{Utopia}}. In front of [[TheManBehindTheMan Lysandre]]. If she hadn't done that, things wouldn't have ended well for them...
* {{Adaptational Badass}}: Remember how Xerosic was [[Disney/{{BeautyAndTheBeast}} the LeFou to Lysandre's Gaston]]? Now he's surprisingly completely and utterly evil! And, as bonus shocking, [[spoiler:that Malamar from Adventures in Kalos is now a Pokemon of his!]]
* {{You Have Outlived Your Usefulness}}: Lysandre [[spoiler:is a mind reader]], so he [[spoiler:fires the {{Terrible Trio}} on the spot for [[RockPaperScissors what they represent]].]]
* {{Your Makeup Is Running}}: [[TheDarkChick Snips]], being the girly asskicker who represents the [[ShearMenace Finesse]] side of the triangle, cries like this when she's fired by Lysandre.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When we next see the camera focus on Snips's [[LiteralMinded shadow]], there's a creepy shot of what appears to be [[spoiler:Perfect Janken]] in the shadow, complete with {{Slasher Smile}} and [[spoiler:pink fairy wings]]!
* {{Talking the Monster to Death}}: More like Talking the Pony Out of the Bad Side, but it works here when Applejack tries (and succeeds) to convince Braeburn that maybe Team Flare ''wasn't'' the best idea. Visible proof of it working is Braeburn's Cutie Mark changing from the Team Flare logo back to that apple it used to be.
* {{The Power of Friendship}}: It's not unusual to see this trope here, but Braeburn is convinced against Team Flare through this trope (most notable use of it so far).
* {{Brainwash Residue}}: Aside from Pinkie Pie temporarily being subdued and calm when she first saw the light of day since no longer being an Eppaljeck, Braeburn may also experience a lack of energy once he's successfully un-brainwashed for a little bit.
* {{Hurricane of Puns}}: A whole lotta clothes puns that never shut up until Applebloom snaps once the puns get TOO overflowy.
* [[spoiler:{{False Utopia}}: Once Paperock is created, Perfect Janken plans to magically enslave all the entire world to become accustomed to her rules.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Alternate Character Interpretation: The Legendary Masae]]
* {{Only Known By Their Nickname}}: Masae herself counts. Her real name is [[spoiler:Shauntelle]], which she admits to hating. [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Moe]] has a tendency to mock her for it!
* {{Age Lift}}: The source material's [[BeforeTheDarkTimes Missing Chapter cutscene]] has a Bunneran explain that Starfy and Bunston are about the same age. They're aged differently in this adaptation; Starfy's about 12, Bunston is 18ish.
* {{Moe Anthropomorphism}}: Every member of the cast who wasn't human before, besides the Mermaid and most {{Mook}}s, now qualifies as such. For instance, Moe was a yellow clam, and now he's a boy with a yellow hoodie.
** [[http://img02.deviantart.net/cac3/i/2010/129/1/b/legendary_starfy_humanized_by_yooca.jpg A similar attempt was made in 2010, but in this one, the ideas for characters are very different. For one, Ronk is still fat and he has a neckbeard.]] [[MemeticMutation I think I can see where this is going...]]
** And to explain the {{Super Not Drowning Skills}} everyone has, they have to introduce a product called Gill Gel.
* {{Bishounen}} and {{Bishoujo}}: As a result of the humanization of 98% of the cast, some people qualify as Bishies, like Moe, Bunston, and Papes. Even his brother Ronk, who was considered {{Gonk}} [[RhymesOnADime (Hey, that rhymes!)]], is somewhat attractive due to him transitioning from [[FatBastard obese]] to [[AdaptationalAttractiveness simply muscular]].
* {{The Cloudcuckoolander Was Right}}: When Ronk suddenly feels the urge to climb trees, his siblings sing great praise upon hearing this idea!
* {{Nice Hat}}: The parts of the body that used to be hair are now a weird bunch of hats!
* {{Blonde Brunette Redhead}}: Although with two boys representing the Brunette (black hair) and Redhead (brunette).
** The trope is played straight with the Jellato Sisters.
* {{Murder the Hypotenuse}}: Masae is in a {{Love Triangle}} with Papes. Papes wants Bunston dead so he can marry Masae.
* {{Little Bit Beastly}}: Bunston [[spoiler:and the Bunnerans]] will qualify for mostly human, but a good look at [[spoiler:any Bunneran]] will tell you that there's a huge pair of rabbit ears sprouting from the top of that human head.
* {{Hey Its That Voice}}: Andrew Francis as Bunston, Samuel Vincent as Moe, Kazumi Evans as Snips, Brian Drummond as Ronk, [[https://youtu.be/VVJOjfAY0ec Gizmo]] as Papes, Rebecca Soichet as the Mermaid, Elie Monty as Starly, Ashleigh Ball as Piplion, Tabitha St. Germain as Ruby, Matt Hill as Fork, Peter New as Herman and Herbert, Claire Corlett as Kit Fish...
* {{OC Stand In}}: Masae's not an OC, per se, but she's standing in for Starfy at the moment.
* {{Curtains Match the Windows}}: This is bound to happen, what with everyone being human. Piplion's pink eyes to go with her pink hair, [[QuirkyMinibossSquad the Squirts]], and an interesting variation the {{Terrible Trio}}'s hats sort of matching their eye color (Snips's pink hat and red eyes, Ronk's pine forest hat and green eyes, Papes's periwinkle hat and blue eyes)...
* {{Ambiguously Brown}}: Moe counts. Kit Fish, Shurikit, and Kittana are a subversion, as a first look at them tell you that they might be Japanese.
** Masae is now confirmed to be of Hawaiian descent.
* {{Mighty Whitey and Mellow Yellow}}: Masae is Hawaiian, and she's in love with the EXTREMELY pale Bunston.
* {{Pimped Out Dress}}: Ruby, being a Zebra Turkey-Fish in the source material, has the fins translated as a long dress.
* {{In Series Nickname}}: Besides Moe calling Starfy "Starf" for short, his second provision is an inversion. A character who goes by her nickname (Masae) will be consistently referred to as her real name (Shauntelle), much to her ire.
* {{Open The Iris}}: Masae does this when she sees the bicycle-truck Snips's brothers were using [[StuffBlowingUp exploding in a spectacular fashion]], and my God, is it simultaneously [[NightmareFuel frightening]] and [[TearJerker heart-wrenching]]!
* {{All Star Cast}}: Besides the above-mentioned Big-Name [[GratuitousForeignLanguage Seiyuu]], there's also a Medium-Name Lets Player named [[LetsPlay/{{MasaeAnela}} Masae]], who shows up in full form, long black hair and all.
* {{Outnumbered Sibling}}: Snips is the only girl in her trio. In her source material, [[ViewerGenderConfusion it was easy to mistake her for a guy due to the fluff bits on her head looking a bit like a beard]]. It wasn't until players saw her being referred to with she/her pronouns that they found out. In this adaptation, though, she is pretty unmistakably girly.
* {{Shown Their Work}}: The game is followed through extremely well, to the point that half the lines the characters say are actually in the source game's script!
* {{Darker and Edgier}}: Downplayed here. The adaptation's every bit as bubbly and fun as the game it's based on, but there are a few instances of "What the Frick", "Holy Crap" "Oh My God", and Snips HAS A GUN.
* {{Crowning Music of Awesome}}: Masae is expected to sing at one point early on, and Snips is expected to have a {{Villain Song}} upon her introduction!
* {{Disney Acid Sequence}}: How Snips's {{Villain Song}} is expected to play out.
* {{Adaptational Badass}}: Some characters are upgraded as such, like Snips, whom Moe said was incredibly frail. Masae herself should also join the Pufftop Guard.
* {{Femme Fatalons}}: Snips has these under those {{Opera Gloves}} of hers. All the better to scratch Bunston's helmet with!
* {{Accent Adaptation}}: Starly, who had a Kansai accent when speaking in the [[NoExportForYou Japanese-exclusive first four games, manga, and other such merchandise]], now for some reason speaks with a British accent, by subversion of the popular {{Idiot From Osaka}} trope, where in dubs, the Osakan usually spoke with a southern or Brooklyn accent...
** The accent is done courtesy of natural-born Brit Elie Monty.
* {{Moment Killer}}: Expect this to happen with Masae and Bunston some of the time.
* {{Portmanteau Couple Name}}: Due to some tics of romance being in this work, expect some to pop up.
** [[MightyWhiteyAndMellowYellow Bunstonela (Masae and Bunston)]]
** [[DatingCatwoman Masapes (Masae and Papes)]]
** [[OfficialCouple Moby (Moe and Ruby)]]
** [[ShipTease Rubonk (Ronk and Ruby)]]
* {{Animated Musical}}: Expect it to be this.
* {{Embarrassing First Name}}: Masae will finally reveal her first name out to the public: [[spoiler:Shauntelle]]. It's not a very good first name for her, she openly admits to hating it, and yet Moe keeps mocking her for it.
* {{Naive Newcomer}}: Masae, never having seen anything that goes on in Pufftop, is new to all of this, and as such, Moe has to show her the ropes. [[StopHelpingMe This will result in a response of "Yes, I know" from Masae.]]
* {{Hot Springs Episode}}: When the gang goes to Hotcha Springs, they dress in bathing suits.
* {{Quirky Miniboss Squad}}: The Squirts here qualify, as they all have different personalities. They're a comedy troupé who goes around performing shows, though they may nor qualify for such a great act. For one, their latest act involved [[OhCrap The Hot-Spring Snapper]]. [[ThisIsGonnaSuck You can imagine how well that went...]]
* {{Black Comedy}}: Expect some to pop up.
* {{Tagalong Kid}}: Despite not being a kid per se, Masae herself counts. She's eager, optimistic, friendly, jovial...
* {{Genki Girl}}: Masae is this in spades. Her DeviantArt profile doesn't call her a happy camper for nothing, you know.
* {{Team Chef}}: Bunston can make a MIGHTY FINE carrot soup. Delicious!
* {{Team Dad}}: Moe counts. Having to lug a little prince is one thing, but a 20something joybasket who doesn't know the basics of Pufftop is when Moe starts getting agressively protective, giving her tips on [[StopHelpingMe even the basics]] of mechanics, like the fact that Pearls can be used as cash.
* {{Cool Big Bro}}: Moe is almost like a brother to Masae. [[StopHelpingMe Although at first it's a bit too much...]]
* {{Intro Only Point of View}}: The intro is about Masae receiving a letter from the sky, packing her things, and setting out in a helicopter to go to Pufftop, where she'll appear on an episode of [[ShowWithinAShow The Moe Show]].
* {{Tsundere}}: Moe is Type A. He [[DefrostingIceQueen at first only knows Masae via a talk show appearance, but then he warms up once the adventure begins the next day.]]
* {{Yandere}}: Papes counts! [[IfICantHaveYou He wants Masae, but only if nobody else gets to have her.]] [[EspeciallyZoidberg Not even Bunston.]]
* {{Kuudere}}: Sometimes, Moe goes from Tsundere to Kuudere. He sometimes just doesn't care.
* {{Dandere}}: Bunston counts as this, what with being incredibly shy and humble around normal people. Unless they grow on him. He'll then treat his friends just as he treats the folks he loves back home!
* {{Tsurime Eyes}}: Moe has some to complement his spicy attitude.
* {{Tareme Eyes}}: Bunston, being the meek prince of wherever he's from, has these, suitably for his humble attitude.
* {{Always Someone Better}}: Starfy counts as this to Fork. Definitely.
* {{Retcon}}: Starfy's [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning Star Spin]] is relegated to a [[FantasticFightingStyle spin-kick manner of fighting]].
* {{Fantastic Fighting Style}}: Masae and Starfy both know a spin-kick move, [[RetCon as it were]].
* {{Interspecies Romance}}: Masae, a human, is in love with Bunston, a humanoid with bunny ears.
* {{Trademark Favorite Food}}: Not only does Bunston love to eat [[StockAnimalDiet all things related to carrots and bananas]], Moe also has a [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal tendency to tuck in to tasty Takoyaki]]!
* {{The Ladette}}: Masae is a bit of a tomboy, if her nickname [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal "Manly Masae"]] is any indication. She don't have time for no skirts! As such, she wears a short-sleeved dark green shirt, a pair of dark blue sweatpants, no shoes, and [[GenkiGirl a bright smile]].
** Starfy's sister Starly also counts as such, despite being dressed like a standard schoolgirl in Japan.
* {{Big Brother Instinct}}: Despite them not being siblings (or even from the same [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield country/continent/planet/solar system/galaxy/universe/hibdjvbudjdeba]]), Moe tends to be a bit overprotective of Masae.
* {{Scooby Stack}}: Expect something like this to happen when Masae and co are spying on the [[TerribleTrio mysterious rogues]] in Sogwood Forest.
* {{Adaptational Attractiveness}}: Ronk goes from being a fat... [[BuffySpeak whatever the hell he's supposed to be]] in the source material to simply big (ala [[Literature/{{OfMiceAndMen}} Lennie Small]]).
* {{Nice Guy}}: Masae counts, despite being a girl.
* {{Slow Motion Fall}}: When Bunston [[spoiler:falls into Pufftop]], this is bound to happen.
* {{Far Out Foreigners Favorite Food}}: Masae, never having even SEEN Pufftop aside from small footage of it as [[VideoGame/{{TheLegendaryStarfy}} a DS game]], is bound to like their Takoyaki, courtesy of {{Supreme Chef}} Starly.
* {{You Gotta Have Blue Hair}}: Due to [[HumanityEnsues most everyone becoming human]], this trope is in effect, meaning the only characters with normal hair colors are Masae, Starfy, Moe, Herman, Kit Fish, Fat Cat, Squirt #5, Old Man Lobber, Old Man Vern, the {{Terrible Trio}}, Kittana, and Herbert.
* {{Whats Up King Dude}}: Masae, a commoner, is allowed to enter Pufftop Castle [[JustifiedTrope because she was given an invitation from Moe]].
* {{Shrinking Violet}}: Male example: Bunston, at first, comes off as a bit shy.
* {{Tomboy Princess}}: Starly here counts.
* [[AsHimself As Herself]]: Masae is of course starring in this.
* [[InkSuitActor Ink Suit Actress]]: Masae's Asianesque skin tone and long black hair are not only on her person in real life, they also appear on her person in The Legendary Masae.
* {{Sensible Heroes Skimpy Villains}}: Masae is comfortably dressed in a T-shirt and sweatpants, but Snips has a wardrobe that has no sleeves!
* {{Ruthless Modern Pirates}}: The {{Terrible Trio}} are {{Rock Paper Scissors}}-themed variants of such.
* {{Limited Wardrobe}}: HARD. It's the same T-shirt and sweatpants for Masae, the same hoodie for Moe, the same fancy garb for Starfy, the same spacesuit for Bunston...
* {{Naive Everygirl}}: Masae is one of these. She has no idea how Pufftop works.
* {{Dating Catwoman}}: Masae, a pure-hearted heroine, has some feelings for Papes, a sly kid baddie.
* {{What Could Have Been}}: Originally, nobody would've been human (and as for Masae herself, she would've been a purple Unicorn), but [[http://legacy-galaxy.deviantart.com/ the one behind it]] decided that it would be too hard to work with, so [[HumanityEnsues everyone became human]].
* {{Muggle and Magical Love Triangle}}: TWO out-of-this-worlders in this case, for Masae is clearly the only normal-dimension native in The Legendary Masae. Bunston is a boy in a {{Latex Space Suit}} [[LittleBitBeastly who has bunny ears]] (and can [[FusionDance transform while putting Masae in the mix]], while Papes is a [[TeenGenius surprisingly intelligent]] YOUNGER boy who is strong enough to carry a shield half his weight (and exactly his height).
* {{Not Good with Rejection}}: In a nutshell, Papes turns into a {{Yandere}} the moment Masae rejects him.
* {{Ahem}}: Snips does this upon seeing Masae find a picture of the Trio [[TastesLikeDiabetes when]] [[CutenessProximity they]] [[CheerfulChild were]] [[SugarWiki/{{HeartwarmingMoments}} younger]].
* {{Actor Allusion}}: Snips has the same eye style as Adagio Dazzle. Both are voiced by Kazumi Evans!

[[folder:Alternate Character Interpretation: Adventures of the Elements of Gaming]]
* {{Nice Hat}}: No matter what, Proton Jon will not be seen without his hat.
* {{Mundane Made Awesome}}: Reddit is given this treatment.
* {{Adaptational Villainy}}: Reddit has gone from just a website to an assimilated force to be reckoned with!
* {{Terrible Trio}}: The Reddit trio has to qualify.
* {{Law of Chromatic Superiority}}: Inverted, for in this case, the leader of the Reddit trio is GREY.
* {{Brainwashed and Crazy}}: NintendoCapriSun is currently in this state.
* {{How Do I Shot Web}}: Chugga, the leader, is currently learning how to use magic, as it took him until he used the Beanstar to become an Alicorn. So far, he's mastered the basic telekinesis and hole-opening.
* [[SomebodyDoesntLoveRaymond Somepony Doesn't Love Reddit]]: And that somepony is not ONE pony, but SIX ponies. The six destined to destroy the Redditors and free everypony from their spell.
* {{Expy}}: The Elements of Gaming are counterparts to the Mane 6 from MLP: Friendship is Magic.
** Nintendo Capri Sun and Fluttershy: Tim is like Fluttershy. He has Tareme, and is super sweet.
** Josh Jepson and Applejack: If there's one thing Josh and AJ have in common, it's having an affinity towards something: In Josh's case, he loves video games.
** Proton Jon and Rarity: Jon and Rarity are Tsurime-eyed overreactors who love hamming things up.
** Masae Anela and Pinkie Pie: Masae shares the same six-curl eyelashes as Pinkie... And the same boisterous and bubbly disposition!
** Lucahjin and Rainbow Dash: Reese and Dashie have... QUITE the bizarre interests.
** ChuggaaConroy and Twilight Sparkle: Emile, like Twilight, is very smart, even in his youth, and as of saving the Beanbean Kingdom, he now holds the title of [[OverlyLongName Prince Emiliano Randolfo Rosales-Birou]]!
*** Ditto the Redditors and the Dazzlings. They even have the same amount of letters in their group names!!!
* {{Adaptational Heroism}}: Proton Jon comes up from {{Token Evil Teammate}}hood to being a {{Jerk with a Heart of Gold}}.
* {{Curtains Match the Windows}}: Karma, Discentia, and Apathia have this as their most notable feature.
* {{They Look Like Us Now}}: The Redditors can shapeshift into ponies.
* {{Morphic Resonance}}: The human!Redditors take a page from the Equestria Girls book and keep their skin tones. They also keep hair, eyes, voices, and Cutie Marks.

[[folder:Alternate Character Interpretation: Alola from the Crystal Gems!]]
* {{Animal Themed Superbeing}}: Continuing on from [[AnimalMotifs Steven's fondness of cats]], [[CatsAreMean Naz the Litten]] will be Steven's partner Pokemon.
* {{Hula and Luaus}}: Going with what the public has said, Alola will indeed be based off Hawaii.
* {{Deadpan Snarker}}: Naz will apparently be such, as she's seen with the girl with the Rowlet, and Naz says to the girl, "[[SarcasmMode Nice hat, loser!]]"
* {{Joisey}}: Naz's accent, courtesy of Tabitha St. Germain.
* {{Only Known By Their Nickname}}: Naz is short for Ignatia.
* {{Meaningful Name}}: The Litten's name, Naz, is short for Ignatia, which is derived from Ignatius, which in turn is derived from ignite. The Rowlet's name, Sed, is short for Cedric, which is the name of the owl who accompanies King Graham on his quest to get his castle back in King's Quest 5.
* {{Rule of Three}}: All the Alola Starter Trio has names with just 3 letters: Naz, Sed, and Rob.
* {{Adorkable}}: Sed, while well-read, is quite the meek little owl.
* {{Hey Its That Voice}}: Aside from Samuel Vincent, Scott [=McNeill=], Andrea Libman, Tara Strong, and Tabitha St. Germain returning, the Crystal Gems will keep their voice actors, and [[LetsPlay/{{SkyDoesMinecraft}} SkyDoesMinecraft]] and [[LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} Emile Rosales]] will be landing a role somewhere!
* {{Ridiculously Cute Critter}}: An artificial example, voiced by the same actress who voiced Decolora's Rotom, is the Rotomdex (R-D for short)! He even keeps his habit of saying [[VerbalTic "golly"]]!
* {{Eyes Always Shut}}: Hau is [[ThePollyanna so jolly]], he doesn't open his eyes much.
* {{Tsundere}}: Lillie doesn't like to smile unless she's called cute.
** After Peridot felt sorry for making R-D cry, she decided to be his friend (but she still hasn't warmed up to him yet).
* {{The Pollyanna}}: [[{{Pun}} Hau]] happy can he get?
* {{Expressive Ears}} and {{Expressive Accessory}}: The viewer (and the Crewniverse) can tell how R-D's feeling by looking at his tail and screen. Heart on both if he's happy, teardrop on tail+blue gradient on screen if he's sad, triangle on tail+POW symbol on screen if he's angry, circle on tail+oval on screen if he's tired, spiral on both if he's dizzy, question mark on both if he's confused, diamond on tail+yellow gradient if he's scared, lightning bolt on tail+Poke Ball print on screen for any other occasion.
* {{Red Oni Blue Oni}}: [[CheerfulChild Steven]], [[ExpositionFairy R-D]], and [[GenkiGuy Hau]] are the Red Onis, and [[CatsAreMean Naz]], [[{{Adorkable}} Peridot]], and [[TheComicallySerious Lillie]] are the Blue Onis in their respective duos.
* {{Exact Words}}: Lapis Lazuli said she didn't want to go to Alola with a friend. So she came here alone. [[spoiler:''Without'' a friend.]]
* {{Mr Fanservice}}: Kukui isn't EXACTLY known for much else other than how good he looks (besides doing Professory things)...
* {{Naive Newcomer}}: Kukui wasn't expecting to do his Professory things at all, that's why he's so clueless. He mostly gets a whole harem of girls who get turned on by the fact that he exists, and he's letting that get to him. That's why he's not such a good Professor!
* {{Hello Nurse}}: Just like Animaniacs's Nurse (as of Wakko's Wish that is), Kukui really wants to be known for his lab skills. But, due to the fact that their "lab" is out in the open, and temperatures can get really hot and muggy in Alola, forcing him to take his shirt off, that means Kukui should really consider becoming a movie star if he wants to make money off his hotness.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: There's a Mega Bracelet on the Rowlet girl's bracelet. Mega Evolution should come into play later...
* {{Morphic Resonance}}: When the Gems shapeshift, they keep their color scheme, just like [[WesternAnimation/{{StevenUniverse}} the show they come from]]!
* {{Paper Thin Disguise}}: Steven's disguise is to claim that he's all human (or, if the Gem on his abdomen is inexplicably revealed, to claim that his lifelong dream is to be a bellybutton troll), and to be fair, Alola believes him because nobody in Alola has Cartoon Network (the channel where SU primarily airs). The Gems, being shapeshifters, can turn themselves into things to hide from the public.
* {{Perpetual Smiler}}: Ruffy the Iwanko is quite the joyful one. It makes sense considering [[ThePollyanna how Amethyst is]] and how their personalities match perfectly.
* {{Fandom Nod}}: Pearl was so often compared to a bird, that she got a bird of her own! Meet Woodrow the Pikipek.

* {{Meaningful Name}}: The Litten's name, Naz, is short for Ignatia, which is derived from Ignatius, which in turn is derived from ignite. The Rowlet's name, Sed is short for Cedric, which is the name of the owl who accompanies King Graham on his quest to get his castle back in King's Quest 5.
