Basic Trope: After a certain point, a series stops numbering their sequels.
- Straight: Tropetown has sequels Tropetown 2, Tropetown 3, and Tropecity.
- Exaggerated: The only numbered sequel is Tropetown 2.
- Downplayed: The fourth movie is Tropetown 4 and keeps numbering until the tenth and final installment, Tropetown: The Last Title.
- Justified:
- Tropecity deals with different characters in the same setting.
- The Tropetown series chronicles the eponymous town's growth from an insignificant hamlet into the city depicted in Tropecity.
- The chronology has become too convoluted to bother with numbers
- Inverted: Tropetown 4 is the first numbered sequel after many unnumbered ones.
- Subverted:
- The sequel to Tropecity is Tropetown 5.
- Despite being from the same studio, Tropecity is merely a Similarly Named Work to the Tropetown series.
- Double Subverted:
- ...whose sequel is Tropeworld.
- … When it was released, but it has been absorbed into the series since then.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig Zagged: The series keeps going back and forth between numbered an unnumbered titles.
- Averted:
- All Tropetown sequels are numbered.
- Alternatively, none of them are.
- Enforced: Tropetown was becoming a Franchise Zombie, and they wanted to disguise that it was a sequel.
- Lampshaded: During the Title Card, a Meta Guy says, "Hey, Tropecity? Why isn't it Tropetown 4, huh?"
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: Characters actively try to make sure that the Title Card always displays numbers instead of trying to stick out.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
