History PokemonResetBloodlines / TropesTToZ

* UnderwaterKiss: Misty thinks about doing this trope with Ash while she's diving underwater at the start of the Mewtwo arc, though she notes a few SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome issues with doing so.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: [[invoked]] Hapu suggests that Mina does art while intoxicated, which she neither confirms nor denies.

* UncannyFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler: Ash, Red, John Archer, Belladonna, Arnold, Hareta, Vermell, Ashley, and who knows how many others share many similar features that many, though not all of them have, including dark hair, the marks on Ash's cheeks, red eyes, and an aversion to the TeensAreShort trope. The girls also tend to be notably busty.]]

** Belladonna is 16, but looks considerably older, partly due to her [[StatuesqueStunner height]] and [[BoobsOfSteel bust]]. Ash is surprised to learn she's only one year older than him, and she admits that a lot of people overestimate her age. Anna has a similar reaction to her later, noting that she also has a rather deep voice for a teenager.

* TeensAreShort:
** Averted with Ash, who's stated to be taller than his mother, as well as Misty and Iris. Widely averted in general, actually, since most of the teenage characters are either stated or implied to be taller than you'd expect from fiction.
** Played straight with Vedia and [[spoiler:Anabel]].
** Hareta plays the trope quite clearly, which is odd given that [[spoiler: with the marks on his cheeks he might actually be the half sibling of trope averters Ash and Belladonna]].
** Joe is noted to be the shortest among his classmates.
** Gladion ''did not'' inherit the height of his mother like Lillie did. He isn't happy about it.
** Borderline example with Maylene, who is 19 years old and not very tall.

** Belladonna is 16, but looks considerably older, partly due to her [[StatuesqueStunner height]] and [[BoobsOfSteel bust]]. Ash is surprised to learn she's only one year older than him, and she admits that a lot of people overestimate her age. Anna has a similar reaction to her later, noting that [[ContraltoOfDanger she also has a rather deep voice for a teenager]].

* WhipItGood: Charmeleon does this to some Weedle [[GrievousHarmWithABody using an Ekans]] in Chapter 23.

* TriangRelations: Type 3 before [[spoiler: Anabel]] joined the group, with Misty and Iris both being attracted to Ash, and him unaware of their feelings for him (as well as possibly having feelings for them he hasn't recognized yet).

* UncannyFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler: Ash, Red, John Archer, Belladonna, Arnold, Hareta, Vermell, Ashley, and who knows how many others share many similar features that many, though not all of them have, including dark hair, the marks on Ash's cheeks, red eyes, and an aversion to the TeensAreShort trope. The girls also tend to be [[BuxomIsBetter notably busty]].]]

** Mewtwo is also considering this, [[KillEmAll along with exterminating all humans.]]

* VillainousCheekbones: Belladonna is implied to have these, given that the story describes her as having very sharp facial features. [[spoiler: If Felgrand is to be believed, she might have inherited them from her paternal grandmother.]]

* TakeThat:
** During the Whitney Oneshot, Whitney fights a Muk with one of her Miltank and harshly defeats it, stating that she'd never lose to a Muk. The Author confirms this was a potshot aimed at Ashes of the Past, though he does clarify he likes the fic overall.
** The Author also commented during the Gary oneshot that he believes Pokemon Anime XY was better than Shudo's run.
** One omake has a potshot against the ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' series for its excessive reliance on multiplayer.
** In an omake from the Ketchumverse, Bloodline Ash and Ranger Ash arrive in the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' universe, which is explicitly stated to have the rule of "everything must revolve around Bella Swan." Since the two of them don't worship the ground she walks on and can't be punished for their "transgression" by the laws of the universe, their presence causes a reality-breaking paradox which results in the place falling apart. No points for guessing what the author is trying to say about the series.
** The Argenta one-shot is a rather big one towards competitive battling (which in the more recent years features less and less variety, with most players using only a handful of Pokemon with the same moves), and Smogon in particular (for encouraging this mindset). Though it's softened somewhat in the end with the message that everybody should be free to choose and use their preferred Pokemon, even if it's from the strongest tiers.
** Belladonna was partly based on an incarnation of Franchise/HarryPotter from a fanfiction called "The Ilvermorny Champion". This version of the Boy Who Lived had a bad habit of doing some awful things to those who hurt his friends and family, so the author created a character with a similar mindset whose actions are portrayed as wrong.
** The Falkner oneshot has a very subtle one towards the use of [[OlympusMons Legendary Pokémon]] in competitive battling (and most likely Tobias as well): when Satsuki asks Falkner what does he plan to do once he catches Ho-Oh and Lugia, he assures her that he won't take them to the Pokémon League and "use them to crush the dreams of some hapless kid half [his] age".
** Many jokes of the first chapter of the Wild Boy For Sinnoh take potshots at Bidoof.
** The first Ketchumverse Omake suggests that all the Worlds where the Pokemon Coma Theory is a thing have been taken over by 'the Ashs of Darkness' as part of a evil Multiversal Empire.
*** Chapter 30 throws another pot shot at it, making some jokes at the idea of Brock being a representation of Ash's sexual urges.
** The first part of Ash's DreamSequence in Chapter 24 has a TakeThat towards {{Betrayal Fic}}s that are common in the Pokemon fandom.
** The April Fools 2017 chapter takes its time to be a TakeThat against ExecutiveMeddling.
*** It also contains a more subtle potshot at ''ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder'', when the author flat-out refuses to write "All-Star Ash and Pikachu''.
** Betrayal Fics get another TakeThat in Chapter 39's omake, where a Misty and Brock who did do such a thing are basically looked at by all parties as irrational beings who eventually flanderized into a second Team Rocket.
** Giselle Interlude contains one against those who insist that you don't capitalize Pokemon Species names.
** The Gladion Interlude takes some potshots at more contentious erotica series, such as ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' and ''Literature/{{Gor}}''.
** The Omake of Chapter 27 has this towards 'Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn' for its poor layout and excessive tags, and the abuse thereof. The author also casually admits to hating the site in the Author's Note at the beginning of the chapter. While Cross admitted he would not be against a Archive version of Reset, he basically said that someone else would have to manage it (and eventually Fox, one of the secondary authors, decided to take up that offer).
** Chapter 27's end commentary has a few aimed at things that annoyed the author during the long writing period. Among them is ''ComicBook/MarvelLegacy'''s removal of Parker Industries and their resetting of Peter Parker's status to his everyman roots (with a snark about Tony Stark's personal reboots thrown in at Marvel's expense as well), as well as the {{WebVideo/Jimquisition}} video from Jim Sterling about it being moral to 'pirate Nintendo's stuff'.
** The Clair Oneshot has one aimed at ''LightNovel/PocketMonstersTheAnimation'' and the rules for gym leaders within, with Clair snarking about her possibly having a third loss in a row damaging the gym's rep, to which Yari snaps that they "don't live in some silly universe where three straight losses would lose the family gym".
** Chapter 29's end has one at Harem Fanfiction tendency to not only describe the main male character as [[BiggerIsBetterInBed being well endowed]] as a selling point, as well as having other characters [[TeenyWeenie be the opposite]], particularly ones the author doesn't like.
*** The chapter 36 omake pokes fun at this further.
** Chapter 29 also has [[spoiler:Sabrina referring to the original timeline Indigo League]] as "utterly incompetent from the managing side".
** Chapter 29, again, had a few jabs at some of the Shudo-era moralizing: when Sliggoo is shown to be terrified of Ariados Janine notes that such a fear was something that wasn't that was easy to pick up, as Ariados are not common in Kanto like a Raticate. As such Janine notes that going into a speech about how Ash should have known that to be pretentious.
** Chapter 31 has Misty reference the anime tropes that would have Misty yell at Ash for [[AccidentalPervert accidentally seeing Iris naked]] (as common in harem comedies) with her specifically saying that doing that, particularly with awareness that it was an accident would make her an utterly unpleasant individual.
** The Tracey oneshot is a big one towards toxic criticism that ends up putting authors down instead of being helpful, though also pointing out that it is possible to take something good even out of it if you know where to look at.
** Pokémon Reset Bloodlines: The Movie - The Fanfiction has quite a few, notably one against [[ShipToShipCombat Shipping Wars]] which even the embodiment of bad fanfiction trends 'Darkern Edgier' [[EveryoneHasStandards doesn't want anything to do with]].
** The Melemele grand trial oneshot has Hau, upon seeing how uber serious Gladion talks and acts, asks him if he's trying to get into a [[DarkerAndEdgier modern reboot movie]].
** Chapter 38 takes a not-so-subtle potshot at {{Teen Drama}}s, with Blaine mentioning that he wants his granddaughter not to have any of that for as long as possible.
** Chapter 39's {{omake}} throws yet more shade at betrayal fics, with Ash outright saying that people getting replaced with robot duplicates is the only way they could make sense.
** Chapter 40 has Electra Artisan, whose name and darker interests are specifically aimed at Creator/ElectronicArts, even if the Electra of Reset isn't as scummy as her Shudo cross counterpart.
** Chapter 54 has Belladonna discussing with Ash the InsecureLoveInterest trope, pointing out how often it happens in fiction and considering it ridiculous, since she believes that only the other person should decide if they are worthy of their love.

** Chapter 29 also has [[spoiler: Sabrina referring to the original timeline Indigo League]] as "utterly incompetent from the managing side".

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: This is a Pokémon fic, after all.

** In the 2021 Holiday Special, Delia gives [[spoiler:Anabel]] and Iris some mistletoe strands to hang in the Pallet House's main hall. They agree to wait for Ash and Misty to they can tell where they are and avoid getting caught under them.

* ZorroMark: A rather disturbing example. In the Georgia Gaiden, the Reaper carves a distinctive symbol into the bodies of his victims. [[spoiler:It's based on the badges he gives out for his job as a gym leader]].
