Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* CarnivoreConfusion: "Team Tasty" is comprised of a Swellow (a large, fully-evolved bird Pokémon) and a Wurmple (a small, unevolved caterpillar Pokémon whom Swellow are said to prey on). Wurmple's greatest fear is the possibility of getting [[EatTheDog eaten by his friend]] -- he breaks out in a cold sweat any time his partner even ''thinks'' about food (which [[RunningGag happens a lot]]). Swellow, on the other hand, is completely oblivious to this, to the point that when Wurmple finally tells him, he considers himself a poor leader for his teammate to be so uncomfortable around him.

Added example(s)

Added DiffLines:

*** By extension, the Mix Elixer item only working on Linoone only makes sense in the Japanese version of the games, where its name roughly translates to "PP ''Straight.''"

Crosswicking new trope.

Added DiffLines:

* PreEndingCredits: Inverted, the credits roll after the DiscOneFinalBoss and at the end of every special episode (special episodes are AnotherSideAnotherStory missions) but NOT after the TrueFinalBoss.

None

Added DiffLines:

* ButThouMust: In many instances in the game, you are asked for help or similar and can choose between 'Yes' and 'No'... with the latter option just making the person repeat the question. In ''Sky'', Chimecho lampshades this:
--> '''Chimecho''': "Would you like to meet up with your team members waiting at the café?"
--> '''Player''': No way
--> '''Chimecho''': "What?? N-no... way? Are you making fun of me, <player name>? You are! I know it! You said "No way" to see how I'd react, didn't you? ...I understand how you feel... Even if you select a "No," you eventually have to select the "Yes,", so it always ends up the same anyway..."

Realized that there is already an example that fit better


* NeverSplitTheParty: Until the end of the main game and even in some missions in the post game, you cannot ever go into a dungeon without your partner, and if they faint, you have to leave the dungeon as well. Taken to a logical extreme when [[spoiler:Dusknoir kidnaps both you and drags you into the future.]] While he has a personal reason to attack you, there is no real in-universe reason to take your partner as well.



* RequiredPartyMember: Until the end of the main game, you have to send yourself and your partner to every mission. Afterwards you can arrange your exploration team as you please, although some missions still require you and your partner.

Removing the spoiler tag and replacing it with a spoiler-free alternative


** DoubleSubverted with the starter/partner Pokémon: initially, no matter where you look, you won't be able to find Pokémon that you can start as, to avoid confusion between player and non-player characters. However, areas where you can fight and possibly recruit the starter Pokémon become available [[spoiler:after beating Primal Dialga and watching the credits]]. The same goes for any Pokémon in the guild or around Treasure Town. Since you can start as Shinx in ''Sky'', they changed the fight with the Amp Plains tribe from Luxios and a Luxray (Shinx's evolved forms) into Electrikes and a Manectric.
