** First, ''Splash Star'' proved that the "Anime/DirtyPair clone" style was getting stale and set the stage for initial teams of more than two Cures. The only season since ''Splash Star'' to start off with a duo is ''Suite'' (''[=HaCha=]'' doesn't count, since Megumi and Hime both became Cures separately from each other and can operate independently). It's also been suggested that this is why ''Splash Star'' is also the first season to not get a "second season" like its predecessor and immediate successor did.

* Apparently, as of late 2015, Pretty Cure tops a Famitsu poll about which anime franchise fans wanted to become a [[VideoGame/DynastyWarriors Musou-style game]]. If it happens, then it will become the first majorly female-dominated cast Musou game.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: While the franchise is obviously huge back in it's native Japan, the franchise quite possibly rivaled ''Franchise/LupinIII'' in most popular anime franchises ever in Italy (especially ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5'', in contrast to other parts of the world, which see it as a ContestedSequel), where even RAI (Italy's StateBroadcaster, and notorious for [[ScrewedByTheNetwork screwing over many animated series for live-action, which makes this especially notable]]), offered to partner with Creator/{{Toei}}'s Europe division for dubbing all future seasons of ''Pretty Cure'' into Italian and help with sales. [[ScrewedByTheLawyers Unfortunately, after]] Creator/SabanBrands [[ScrewedByTheLawyers bought the worldwide rights to the Franchise]], RAI was unable to pick up the Italian rights past ''[[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure Heartcatch]]''.

* AmericansHateTingle: ''Pretty Cure'' isn't exactly ''hated'' internationally but it's not half as popular of a {{magical girl}} franchise as it is in Japan. In Japan it is a CashCowFranchise and one of the most iconic magical girl series out there. Outside of Japan it has its niche amongst magical girl fans but is seen by mainstream anime fans as "just another magical girl anime". The series suffers from GirlShowGhetto as well as NoExportForYou, thus English speakers are more likely to have seen ''Manga/TokyoMewMew'' or ''Manga/SailorMoon'' than most ''Pretty Cure'' series. There are exceptions though. For example, Italy ''loves'' the franchise.

Names The Same is for characters from unrelated series who have the same name. A more fitting trope would be how it averts One Steve Limit. Also, moving this to the main page since it\'s not a trivia trope.


* NamesTheSame: Several seasons tend to repeat names from previous continuities. So far the repeated names were Nozomi (''Max Heart'' and ''Yes!5''), Kaoru (''Splash Star'', ''Fresh'', and -- if it counts -- ''Kaoru''ko from ''Heartcatch''), Rin (''Yes! 5'' and ''Happiness Charge''), Hayato (''Fresh'' and ''Heartcatch''), Kurumi (''Yes!5'' [given name], ''Heartcatch'' [surname]), Miyuki (''Fresh'' and ''Smile''), Akane (the original/''Max Heart'' and ''Smile''), Nao (''Max Heart'', ''Heartcatch'' and ''Smile''), Reika (''Fresh'' and ''Smile''), Ayumi (''Fresh'', ''Heartcatch'', ''All Stars New Stage'' and ''Doki Doki''), Madoka (''Yes!5'' [given name], ''Doki Doki'' [surname]), Megumi (''Yes!5'' and ''Happiness Charge''), Seiji (''Doki Doki'' and ''Happiness Charge''), Kenta (''Splash Star'' and ''Happiness Charge'') and Momoka (''Heartcatch'' and ''Go!

** ''[=HaCha=]'' led to a total revamp of the franchise with ''[=GoPri=]'', suffering the same fate as ''[=DokiDoki=]''--a second half slump and general fan opinion turning against it. To add insult to injury, that was the exact same fate ''[=HaCha=]'' was meant to avert. [[CreatorKiller It also caused a shakeup in the PC managerial department]] before ''[=GoPri=]'' made it to its own halfway point.

** First, ''Splash Star'' proved that the "Anime/DirtyPair clone" style was getting stale and set the stage for initial teams of more than two Cures. The only season since ''Splash Star'' to start off with a duo is ''Suite'' (''[=HaCha=]'' doesn't count, since Megumi and Hime both became Cures separately from each other and can operate independently). It's also been suggested that this is why ''Splash Star'' is also the first season to not get a "second season" like its predecessor and immediate successor did.
** ''Go Go'' turned the "second season" into a foreign concept to the franchise, faring worse than its immediate predecessor.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: After the success of the first season and ''Max Heart'' in Spain, it was planned to turn the franchise into a commercial juggernaut like ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' or ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', importing all the seasons (except ''Splash Star'') onwards. Then something happened and the plan broke up just before buying ''Yes! 5''.

* There are actually three different versions of the first BatFamilyCrossover, all of which contradict one another and the series themselves. The short film, the movie and the DS game each have the teams meeting for the first time under different circumstances; only the movie and their sequels include ''[[FreshPrettyCure Fresh]]'' and all the seasons after it; only the DS game takes place while the series are all running, while the others take place after they are over; and the short film just makes no sense whatsoever.
