Loads And Loads Of Characters is no longer a trope


The basic plot mainly involves the exploits of five main national delegates, all of whom are represented by Pokemon: [[GenkiGuy Germany]] (a Caterpie), [[StraightMan America]] (a Grotle), [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Turkey]] (a Psyduck), [[ShrinkingViolet Sri Lanka]] (a Teddiursa), and [[NiceGuy Canada]] (a Drillbur, and the only one with a stereotype attached to his name). Those five go on epic misadventures in order to defeat the ruthless new enemy [[AxCrazy North Korea]], and along the way discuss the histories of their subsequent nations. [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters And, of course, with 195 nations, they aren't in it alone.]]

That's pretty much the summary of ''Poke Countries: [[EitherOrTitle Or, What Happened After the Events of the Second Pokemon World War]],'' a Pokemon fanfic which answers the questions "What if nations, cities, states, territories, etc. were Pokemon?" and, just as importantly, "What if none of them carried a single offensive national stereotype (key word: offensive)?"

The fanfic is notable for being much more fact-based than ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia,'' both in terms of the actual countries' histories and their personalities. Also, it did what Hetalia and ''WebComics/{{Polandball}}'' couldn't: ''treat Sri Lanka as an actual nation and not leave it unnoticed.''

* {{Adorkable}}: Germany (an entergetic {{Keet}}) and Sri Lanka (a ''major'' ShrinkingViolet).

!!Poke Countries contains examples of:

* ActualPacifist: Germany, full-stop. He would ''much'' prefer a cold war than anything else, and part of it stems from the terroristic reign of [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi Germany.]] It fits in with what happened to Germany in RealLife post-WWII, when they began to take a pacifistic stance.
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Sri Lanka. He's a ShrinkingViolet Teddiursa. And he is ''adorable.''
* {{Adorkable}}: Germany (an entergetic {{Keet}}) and Sri Lanka (a ''major'' ShrinkingViolet).
* AffectionateNickname: America has two for Germany: "Germ" and "Deutsch-2," with the latter being used more frequently. Similarly, Germany has his own for America: "Yoosah." No prizes for what that's based on. [[note]] USA. [[/note]]
* AllGermansAreNazis: Subverted. There have been four different delegates for Germany- one was TheStoic (#1, a White Kyurem), one was a ShrinkingViolet who slowly gained confidence in himself (#3, a Zweilous who later evolved into a Hydreigon), and one is an entergetic {{Keet}} (#4, the current Germany). Of them, only #2 (the blind German Staraptor) was an ''actual Nazi.''
* AllLovingHero: ''Germany'', so much so that he even changed the first verse of his national anthem so it went, "Freunde mit alles" (friends with all).
** Sri Lanka also counts, mainly because ChildrenAreInnocent.
* AllStereotypeCast: Completely and utterly ''[[AvertedTrope averted.]]'' The only countries that carry any sort of stereotype are Canada (a NiceGuy), England (an upper-class snob with a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold heart of gold]]), and Japan (a GenkiGirl).
** Germany [[ZigZaggedTrope zigzags]] this. He is a BigEater who loves pastries and chocolate cake, and is ''extremely'' fearful of Nazi Germany to the point of having nightmares about him. However, his overall personality (he is an exciteable, hyperactive, giggly AllLovingHero) [[GermanicDepressives does not]] [[AllGermansAreNazis bring to mind]] [[GermanicEfficiency regular]] [[ThoseWackyNazis stereotypes]] [[{{Workaholic}} about]] [[{{Kaiserreich}} German]] [[{{Oktoberfest}} people]] (okay, maybe [[{{Oktoberfest}} that one,]] but this Germany doesn't drink beer, wear lederhosen, or eat sausages).
* AllWorkVSAllPlay: North Korea vs. South Korea. The former is a strict, AxCrazy militarist Empoleon, while the latter is a laidback, [[TheDitz ditzy]] Jigglypuff.
* AnxietyDreams: This is what kicks off the plot of Chapter One. After hearing rumors that North Korea could invade and possibly even drop a Voltorb, Germany begins to have hallucinations and nightmares of Nazi Germany and the events of the war. [[spoiler: It turned out he had nothing to worry about, and North Korea was never planning to drop an atomic bomb at all.]]
* AscendedExtra: Sri Lanka, who was barely given a mention in Chapter One and goes on to be one of the main characters of the whole series.
* AxCrazy: Nazi Germany and North Korea, for reasons that do not need explanation.
