* AluminumChristmasTrees: In episode 51, Alan describes a Chansey dipping her cookie into her tea as something strange, causing Jake, Josh, and Matt to all roast him for having never considered that that's the purpose of cookies in the first place.

* LostWoods: Viridian Forest counts as this; the forest itself contains a smaller, creepier area that is referred to as the Lost Woods.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: It's Pokémon, people have hair of every color. Mocked by the gang at one point:
-->''He has a hair color that appears in nature! Get ‘im!''

* ItsPronouncedTroPAY: Several of the characters, particularly those from Kalos, have accents. This often causes the actors to corpse over Alan's pronunciation of words like "Scoops", "Smart", and "Moltres".

* RealityEnsues:
** Following anime tradition, Rose and Cobalt take time out from their journey to train their teams. This includes having them practice their accuracy and evasion, and having Oddish do squats.
** After going through Mount Moon, Rose asks the scientists why it's been twenty years and nobody's built a train around the mountain.
** Victor has very understandable reactions to [[spoiler:everything that happens in Mount Moon.]]
** Rawley is seen putting out the fires caused by Bango and Treble, and returning the Snover to their natural habitat.

* MistakenForDating: Rose and Cobalt are often assumed to be boyfriend and girlfriend by those who don't know them well. Plenty of people who do know them think it's just a matter of time.

* WrittenInInfirmity:
** When Jake has to attend to personal matters, Rose goes on a trip to Unova with her sister Angelica during episode 66. She returns in the following episode.
** Josh had a cold during Episode 69, so Cobalt is stated to have caught one himself while they camped out in the Seafoam Islands.

* CanonWelding: The first episode establishes that the series takes place twenty years after the events of the ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' video games, with Red being a Pallet Town hero and Blue being the first Gym Leader Rose and Cobalt face. However, the end of act one reveals that Team Rocket's new leadership consists of characters from the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' anime, specifically [[spoiler:Jessie and James]]. Further, other characters from the anime, [[spoiler:Butch and Cassidy]], are aligned with ALighterShadeOfBlack faction of Team Rocket. Later, when exploring the old Rocket hideout in the Celadon City Game Center, Cobalt uncovers a document describing the new regime's rise in power, which includes mentions of Ash and his frequent battles with grunts Jessie and James and their talking Meowth. This all amounts to show that, in this version of the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' universe, the events of the game ''and'' the events of the anime both occurred.

* NotSoDifferent: It is pointed out to Cobalt (and Rose) that [[spoiler:taking Brian's Typhlosion]] is a common trait of Team Rocket. Rose justifies his action with a legal statute that allows for [[spoiler:removal of Pokémon if there is evidence that the Pokémon has been abused by the Trainer.]]

* TrackingDevice: The [[spoiler: Dark Badges]] that Rose and Cobalt recieve are trackign devices from the Rockets.

Pokémon World Tour: United is a podcast created by ''Creator/HeyJakeAndJosh'', where they play through a game of the fan-made [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pokémon]] RPG [[TabletopGame/PokemonTabletopAdventures Pokemon Tabletop United]], run by their friend Alan.

* CurbStompBattle: Cira, Cobalt, and Rose against Team Rosey Ladies in their first battle at the Saffron Colosseum. The latter barely last a single turn.

* HypocriticalHumour: In episode 54, Cira joins Rose in roasting Daniel for his shoddy-looking Ho-Oh costume. When he becomes ashamed and hands over the mask, Cira immediately grabs it and declares she can actually pass it off as genuine and sell it off.

* MaliciousMisnaming: Rose intentionally refers to Looker as "Jeff". Her justification is that he introduced himself as "John", then soon after claimed "IHaveManyNames".

* PokemonSpeak: None of the Pokémon speak human, naturally; Alan instead voices all of the Pokémon. Luckily, most of the trainers SpeaksFluentAnimal.

* AdaptationalVillainy: While Team Rocket as a whole takes a step up in villainy in ''United'', with misdeeds such as a Pokemon fight club, [[spoiler:brainwashing its members]], and causing chaos with the weather by [[spoiler:subduing Moltres]], none of this would be happening without the leaders of the new Team Rocket regime: [[spoiler:Jesse and James, best known for being incompetent boobs in the ''Pokemon'' anime]].

* SelfieFiend: Whenever Rose Jenny takes a photo of a Pokemon for her Pokedex to identify, she makes it a point to make that photo a selfie of herself with that Pokemon. She will take selfies with the same kind of Pokemon more than once of given a reason, such as the Chansey stationed at various Pokemon Centers, who often dress in outfits themed to their location, like pith helmets for the Safari Zone.

* MostAnnoyingSound: Marina the tour guide's "Superrrrr!" Or anything she says, really. It draws comments from the characters InUniverse.
-->'''Cobalt:''' You're a lot.\\
'''Marina:''' I am!\\
'''Cobalt:''' I'm already exhausted.\\
'''Marina:''' Thank yooouuu!

** After Rose wipes the floor with Acantha and Acantha has left, Ambrosia and Rose's grandmother, Odessa, warn her that Acantha will not take this humiliation lying down, and is certain to use any connections she can to make Rose's life miserable any way she can. Rose responds that Acantha or anyone she sics on her is going to have to actually deal with ''her'', as well as and her friends.

* BrownNote: Seeing a Jynx in the Seafoam Islands causes everyone to shake their hips without realizing it.

* InterspeciesRomance: Juliet and Crescendo, a Noibat and Zubat, respectively. They're first encountered flying around each other during the main characters' journey through Mt. Moon. Rose catches Juliet, but the Zubat flies away. Later, when siccing a bunch of Zubat on Billy, Cobalt holds a Pokeball with some Friendship Jerky in the swarm and snags Crescendo.

* WrittenInInfirmity: When Jake has to attend to personal matters, Rose goes on a trip to Unova with her sister Angelica during episode 66. She returns in the following episode.

* BadassBoast:
** Episode 60 provides two:
*** Before Rose and Acantha's battle, their mother Ambrosia tries to talk Acantha out of it, asking her if she ''really'' wants to go through with this. When Acantha demands to know why she wouldn't, Ambrosia responds with "because she will wipe the floor with you."
*** After Rose wipes the floor with Acantha and Acantha has left, Ambrosia and Rose's grandmother, Odessa, warn her that Acantha will not take this humiliation lying down, and is certain to use any connections she can to make Rose's life miserable any way she can. Rose responds that Acantha or anyone she sics on her is going to have to actually deal with ''her'', as well as and her friends.

* DogpileOfDoom: Used to heartwarming effect when Victor ends 025 buried under a blissful pile of the main party's Pokémon.

* HighClassglass: When going to Mars' fancy restaurant in episode 56, Bass wears a monocle. Cobalt doesn't know how it stays in, probably cartoon magic.

* HostileWeather: The first leg of Rose and Cobalt's journey includes unseasonably cold and stormy weather. [[spoiler: This is brought on by Team Rocket's implied tampering with the balance between Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres.]]

%%* NeverMessWithGranny: The Rosey Ladies team that Cobalt, Rose, and Cira go against in the Saffron Colosseum.

* PokemonSpeak: None of the Pokémon speak human, naturally; Alan instead voices all of the Pokémon. Luckily, most of the trainers SpeaksFluentAnimal. This also applies to anything a Pokémon writes down as well. This somehow manages to apply even to ''typing'', as Scramble's participating in a stream chat during the Celadon Gym Battle is just variations of "Togepi" along with some emojis.

%%* VitriolicBestBuds: Arguably, Rose, Cobalt, Victor, and Cira.
%%* WaxingLyrical: Alan has a habit of slipping song lyrics into his narration.
