* DevelopmentGag: Crosses with MythologyGag; the author loves to include nods to early concept art in art of the characters as children (I.e. Red is shown at age 9 in a minimally changed version of his Capumon design, Leaf at that age is shown with darker brown hair, her black minidress, and white gloves, with her hair still having darker brown tips at the start of the story, Ethan at age 8 is wearing a purple hoodie of a similar shade to the male character on the cover of the Gold and Silver announcement pamphlet, Kris’s pigtails are shown hanging down instead of defying gravity and she’s wearing a white collared shirt and pleated skirt) or even occasionally newly hatched Pokemon.

* AllAnimalsAreDomesticated: Most Pokemon seems to accept that humans aren’t enemies, and even look forward to being captured, even if it’s just because of the free meals; though they’re also usually a bit distant initially towards the trainer themselves. Though there are still reminders that these are indeed wild animals, with correction devices on Pokéballs in the case of emergencies (though sadly that means these can be easily abused by abusive trainers).

Plus, many starter Pokemon, despite apparently all being pretty young, can basically act as their trainers’ parents when needed as well (especially Venio). However, some species, such as most legendaries and psychic Pokemon, are as intelligent as if not smarter than the average human.

* MostWritersAreAdults: One of the series’s goals is to avert this, or at least minimize it. Though it has been stated that kids in this universe mature faster mentally due to the fact that they’re trusted to go on Pokemon journeys, the preteens still can have plushies, get excited over candy, have a very simple morality system, use insults like “[[BigStupidDooDooHead doo-doo head]]”, and imitate what they see on TV. A lot of conflict even comes from the fact they have immature brains, and Blue even partially deconstructs the notion of giving Pokemon to kids, as he basically sees them, as the author puts it, as “action figures that go boom”. However, the 14-year-Old Black and White protagonists (save for Bianca) act a bit older than they should, as the author admits she doesn’t exactly know how to write kids that age.

Selene is action-loving, sloppy, acts like a shonen hero, and apparently when she was little she always saw herself as the KnightInShiningArmor over the princess. Elio on the other hand is sensitive, is better at chores, cooking, grooming, and at keeping things tidy, has a much better fashion sense than Selene (though that isn’t saying much), is more careful, and even knows how to sew. For a good deal of the story, Elio doesn’t like being called feminine, and sees Selene calling him “Ellie” as her calling him girly. However, after Selene tells him that she likes him a lot better that way and after growing more comfortable with himself, he accepts this part of him.

!!Tropes appearing across the series:
* CheerfulChild: Many of the protagonists are like this.
!!Tropes in the [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Red and Blue arc]] include:
* AmbiguousDisorder: Red, according to WordOfGod, “acts similar to someone with Asperger’s”, though whether he actually is isn’t stated. However, he indeed seems like a textbook case; his social skills are very lacking, he can be [[BrutalHonesty really blunt]], fidgets with things, [[CharacterTic especially his hat]] or favorite plushie if he has it on hand, quite often, needs to have at least one red article of clothing on her person at all times, is sensitive to gooey textures and gross things to the point that [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes he almost shuts down when faced with a Grimer or Muk]], and is extremely fixated on Pokemon and Pokemon battles to the point he can go on for an hour talking about it [[spoiler:and he falls into a deep depression when he runs himself into the ground with it]]. This is apparently due to the fact that Creator/SatoshiTajiri has the condition, as does the author.
* TheBully: Blue Oak is much meaner in this fic than in the games, as the author used the backstory in the manual of the original games. While a lot of his ego is PlayedForLaughs, it’s also made clear that him suddenly becoming extremely competitive and harsh towards him was a massive blow to Red, who already was a target of bullying. However, it’s shown Blue himself didn’t mean to hurt Red, more that he thought of himself as the hero of his own story and thought the trash talk and competition was all part of the fun, not realizing how much it was hurting his best friend; though it’s also heavily implied that him being sick of being identical to Red, the dorky nerd kid, in terms of ability, and his crush on Leaf also influenced it.
* CloudCuckooLander: Ann/Fluffy/“Tippy”, Red’s Eevee and later Flareon, makes as much sense as the method she was obtained. And as she’s [[CuteBruiser one of the physically strongest members of the party]] and her fire abilities, this causes some hiccups initially. She’s perfectly capable in battle though.
** Red can have his moments as well.
* HotBlooded: Red, actually, despite his reputation as TheSilentBob, is this just like in early official material. He’s passionate, insanely determined, has a very strong sense of justice, and can even have moments of ham. [[spoiler:Well, in this arc at least. Though even post-timeskip, flashes of this show through]].
* {{Protectorate}}: While it’s common for Pokemon to see their trainers like this, Venio, Red’s Bulbasaur/Ivysaur/Venasaur, takes his responsibility towards Red very seriously. Apparently his personality was based off of herding dogs like German Shepherds, Sheepdogs, and Collies, as such it’s to be expected. He’s also the TeamDad to the rest of the party, despite being apparently not much older than Red himself mentally.
** In the emotional sense, Leaf seems to see Red as this as well. The feeling is shown to be mutual, however.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Blue Oak used to be one of Red’s only real friends alongside Leaf before he, quite suddenly, declared Red his “rival” and started picking on him.
!!Tropes in the [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Gold and Silver arc]] include:
* LovableCoward: Quill/“Cracker”, Ethan’s Cyndaquil/Quilava/Typhlosion, is a pretty big coward; he tries to get out of really intimidating battles by pretending to be sick, and he was even spooked by a Sentret. However, he is inspired by Ethan’s optimism, energy, and resolve and starts making an effort to change that. By the time he’s a Typhlosion, he still is a bit of a wuss, but is easily able to overcome it.
* StockShonenHero: It’s been stated outright that Ethan is the closest to this out of all of the protagonists; he’s cheerful, loud, HotBlooded, [[{{Determinator}} is insanely determined]], cocky, optimistic, outgoing, naive, [[IdiotHero not the smartest kid around usually]], has a case of ChronicHeroSyndrome possibly even stronger than the others, and is a BigEater to boot.
* SpoiledBrat: [[spoiler:Silver apparently used to be one; he basically had hundreds of grunts wrapped around his finger, had everything a kid could want, and grew up with a massive sense of self-importance due to being the son of the boss of Team Rocket and all, though Giovanni still disciplined him and hired tutors to teach him stuff beyond his age. As a result, he never learned how to treat his peers as equals, or even had much interaction with kids his age at all. [[RichesToRags Giovanni abandoning him took all of that away from him suddenly]], but instead of humbling him, this only turned him cynical and bitter and made his behavioral problems worse]].
!!Tropes in the [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Ruby and Sapphire arc]] include:
* DontCallMeChicken: The easiest way to dupe Brendan into doing anything is to call him a coward. No matter what it is, he’ll probably charge in to prove you wrong.

!!Tropes in the [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackTwoAndWhiteTwo Black 2 and White 2 arc]] include:
* HatesBeingAlone: Zorua/Zoroark might be a bit of a brat, but more than anything he hates even the thought of being alone; while part of it is due to the fact that he likes attention, there’s also the fact that N leaving him with Rood made him deeply fear abandonment.
* SweetTooth: Rosa loves sweets, though in particular she seems to have a fondness for cheesecake. Unfortunately, so does Zorua/Zoroark, resulting in them getting into fights over it several times.
