History Fanfic / ThePokemonLoops

Part of ''Fanfic/TheInfiniteLoops'' project.

''Pokémon''. One of the most well-known franchises in the world, with anime, manga, video games, trading cards, and countless other things devoted to it. Countless people know of the series, and it has been reworked and continued for [[LongRunner more than 20 years]], with stories in many parts of the Pokémon world/universe, different people, and places, all shown at various points.

The ''Pokémon'' Loops are one of the larger Loops in the Infinite Loops project, with several different "baselines" for the many different stories that can take place in different versions of this vast universe.

The compilations can be found [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10217129/1/The-Infinite-Loops-Pokemon-Loops here]], and the thread can be found [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/infinite-nintendo-loops-2-the-lost-loops.353865/page-105 here]].

!! Tropes found in ''The Pokémon Loops'':

* GrievousHarmWithABody: Oshawott once used the ''Goat Simulator'' Goat in place of his razor shell to fight Mass Produced EVA'S.

* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: The general reaction to a ''Fanfic/{{Pokewars}}'' variant loop, and quite possibly ''Fanfic/TheSunSoul'' variants as well.

** Discussed in the Thread as a reason to give the Pokémon Loopers names. Currently there are two males from the Charmander Line, two males from the Squirtle Line with another expected, one male and one female Pikachu with at least one more expected, two males from the Chimchar Line, and two males from the Piplup Line. The result of the discussion: inconclusive.

* BeyondTheImpossible: Gary's Blastoise can use Spiral Power. Neither Gary nor his Blastoise have been to ''Gurren Lagann''. When it's pointed out how impossible this is, Blastoise responds along the lines of "It's ''Gurren Lagann''. I just pour all my willpower into it, and it works."

Currently there are two males from the Charmander Line, two males from the Squirtle Line with another expected, one male and one female Pikachu with at least one more expected, two males from the Chimchar Line, and two males from the Piplup Line.

** Played straight with Legendary Pokémon, who have a OneSteveLimit Loop-wise.

* RetGone: An interesting example in [[spoiler:Ash's father]] - while this individual still exists, no one can remember [[TheFaceless any distinguishing features]].

!! Tropes found in ''The Pokemon Loops''

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: In one Pokémon Special Loop, Crystal has already caught every single Pokémon ''ever'' (and a few that were supposed to be extinct) by the time Red has woken up.
* AuthorAppeal: Inverted. Several types of loops are deliberately discouraged, mostly because the main author is not a fan of DarkerAndEdgier works for the sake of them.
* BerserkButton: Dio Brando is one for Pikachu. The first time they met, Dio killed Ash. The second time, Pikachu dealt him his worst defeat yet as a looper.
* BeyondTheImpossible: Gary's Blastoise can use Spiral Power. Neither Gary nor his Blastoise has been to Gurren Laggan. When it's pointed out how impossible this is, Blastoise responds along the lines of "It's Gurren Lagann. I just pour all my willpower into it, and it works."
* GrievousHarmWithABody: Oshawott once used the Goat Simulator Goat in place of his razor shell to fight Mass Produced EVA'S.

* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: The general reaction to a Fanfic/{{Pokewars}} variant loop, and quite possible Fanfic/TheSunSoul variants as well.
* TheMentor: Ash has spent entire loops mentoring non-awake versions of his friends, such as Morrison.
* OneSteveLimit: Discussed in the Thread as a reason to give the Pokémon Loopers names. Currently there are two males from the Charmander Line, two males from the Squirtle Line with another expected, one male and one female Pikachu with at least one more expected, two males from the Chimchar Line, and two males from the Piplup Line. The result of the discussion: inconclusive. This is however played straight with Legendary Pokemon, who have a OneSteveLimit loop wise.
* RealityBreakingParadox: In some loops, there can only be one Arceus. Adding a second Arceus, such as by use of [[Franchise/Ben10 Omnitrix]], has this as a major risk.
* RetGone: An interesting example in [[spoiler: Ash's Father]]. He still exists but no one can remember [[TheFaceless any distinguishing features]].

* ValuesDissonance: InUniverse. There have been loops where certain characters, such as Edward Elric and Eren Yaeger point out the moral question of Pokemon battles during fused loops where their loved ones (Alphonse and Mikasa) are turned into a Golett and Ralts respectively.
