Missed opportunities are YMMV.


* BookSmart: In contrast to Ash's BookDumb, but somewhat deconstructed as he's not used to dealing against opponents who use out-of-the-box tactics.

to:

* {{Bookends}}: Trip's first battle with Ash was a one-on-one against Pikachu using his newly obtained Snivy. His last battle with Ash is another one-on-one against Pikachu using the fully evolved Serperior.
* BookSmart: In contrast to Ash's BookDumb, but Trip is relatively smart for a beginner and has standard knowledge on conventional training and battling techniques. This is somewhat deconstructed as he's not used to dealing against opponents who use out-of-the-box tactics.



** In the Junior Cup arc (episodes 90-93), it would have been a great opportunity for Trip to bring back most of his team to his battles, including Vanilluxe, Chandelure, and Unfezant, but [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter in the entire tournament, Seperior is the only one he uses, making it a wasted opportunity]].

Conversely, his [[JadeColoredGlasses cynicism]] is taken to its max when directed toward Ash; following the incident in [=BW052=], he appears to have become more withdrawn than before.

* {{Sadist}}: Not only is he incredibly manipulative, but he outright ''enjoys'' being so, his tearful face quickly turning into an evil grin as he released Tepig. He later laughs to Tepig's face about how easily he was able to manipulate it (and presumably many others) into thinking he cared.

He later laughs to Tepig's face about how easily he was able to manipulate it (and presumably many others) into thinking he cared.



* StupidEvil: Shamus's motivations seem to be driven entirely by what will make him look [[HateSink even more horrible]], even when they're completely contradictory or make no sense whatsoever. He claims to only be interested in the most powerful Pokémon, but still attempts to take Pokémon from those that lose to him, even though he shouldn't have any interest by his own logic. He also openly brags about how he only pretends to care about his former Pokémon, but still inexplicably tries to convince Pignite to come back to him afterward.



** While Paul was also a huge jerk who only cared about his Pokémon's strength and would readily abandon them if they weren't up to his standards, he treated the ones that ''were'' up to his standards with respect. Shamus's actions, however, border on criminal, forcing Trainers who lose to him to give him their Pokémon.

* YouHaveFailedMe: He abandoned Tepig after it lost a match to a Deerling (which is admittedly a slightly understandable reason for not wanting Tepig any more and also a better reason than Damien who abandoned Charmander for losing to a Poliwag but still not for doing what he did), tying it to a post after it kept trying to follow him.

* DumbMuscle: He's even dimmer than ''Indigo League Ash'', both in and outside of battle, and regularly handicaps himself through his mistakes. His team, however, is very powerful and well-balanced, which is seemingly what allows him to get away with his incompetence. His Hydreigon took down two of Ash's Pokemon with relative ease, while Lucario took out three.



* IdiotHoudini: Cameron is very lacking for brains. He gets dates, times, and locations of important events wrong, almost tried to enter the Unova League in ''Johto'' and with only ''seven badges'' instead of eight, forgets to register even when he does get to the right location, and shows up to his six-on-six match with Ash carrying only five Pokemon! Somehow, though, he manages to avoid direct consequences for any of this: he just ''barely'' manages to qualify for the league after Ash begs Nurse Joy for it, and still beats Ash in their match because his Riolu evolves into Lucario in the middle of battle. Then averted when he loses to Virgil in the next round- his stupidity couldn’t get him everything, after all.

* JerkassHasAPoint:
** In her first appearance, she rightfully criticizes Iris for not having a lot of dragon Pokémon on her team since Iris wants to be a dragon master.
** When she lost to Iris in the Junior World Cup, she argued that she lost to Dragonite, not Iris. Given that Dragonite was disobeying Iris' orders, she's completely right. Iris acknowledges this at the end of the tournament and promises Georgia that she'll have Dragonite under control by the next time they meet, so that Georgia can have the battle she wants.
** During the same tournament, she calls out Burgundy for bragging about herself during Iris' second round match.

Slapstick Knows No Gender is no longer a trope by itself and Jerk With A Heart Of Gold is a Sub Trope of Jerkass (which is revealed on Super Trope).

Ash gets it the worst, being the brunt of many rude stereotypes about his home region. It isn't until after his loss to Alder that he starts to treat others with respect, [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute another thing he shares in common with Gary and Paul]].

He actually helped Ash realize why his Oshawott couldn't aim its Aqua Jet properly, but not without [[CondescendingCompassion mocking him for the embarrassing detail]] that he's [[IronicFear afraid to open his eyes underwater]]. He also took an interest in Iris in the same episode for being from the Village of Dragons, but just as quickly wrote her off for her strange Ice-type phobia and poorly trained team. His attitude does not change until much later when Alder defeats him in the Junior Cup.
