!! ''Yonkoma Nuzlocke'' contains examples of:
* ActionGirlfriend: Bill has [[spoiler: one or two]].
* AdaptationExpansion: It's easy to forget Yonkoma Nuzlocke is based on a playthrough of the games. It has so much original content that expands the plot, the characters and the world that it might as well not be.
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: All over the place.
* AlwaysSecondBest: Lott was this to Vang for a long time, which eventually... [[AxCrazy had its]] [[RivalTurnedEvil consequences]].
* ArtEvolution: As it happens with long-running webcomics, Yonkoma Nuzlocke has started with really rough drawings. For a while, it didn't even have backgrounds.
* ArtShift: Two instances relating to [[MentalWorld a world inside a certain character's mind]], one of them being a {{Guest Strip}}.
* AscendedExtra: So much. Yonkoma Nuzlocke spends so much time on its supportive cast, as well as countless in-game characters, it has to remind itself who the protagonist is.
* AsideGlance: Often.
* AuthorAvatar: A recurring character.
* AxCrazy: Brom has some issues to work out. There's also Lilith, a member of Team Rocket, who seems to hide this behind her [[TheStoic calm demeanor]].
* Backstory: Is it a character? Yes? Then they probably have a backstory.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Quite frequently. Sometimes comes with extra superpowers like predicting the future based on what was seen on the chapter cover.
* BoyfriendBlockingDad: Inverted with [[spoiler: Koga]], though he's still reluctant to let his girl go.
* TheCameo: The comic has featured characters from other Nuzlocke comics, as well as some other fictional characters, including [[Persona4 Satonaka Chie]] who actually has a minor role in the plot. There's also Copycat, who's a walking Cameo to the point of having never been seen without a disguise of some sort.
* CanonForeigner: Several characters are not based on anything from the games.
* CerebusRetcon: A ton of [[RunningJoke running jokes]] eventually [[{{Foreshadowing}} turn out to be this]].
* ChekhovsArmoury
* ChekhovsGag: Happens a lot.
* Cloudcuckoolander: Bill and Daisy are only the most prominent examples.
* CuteMute: Steen.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: It's a comedy comic. Here, [[TroubledBackstoryFlashback have a flashback]].
* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler: For a moment it seemed Brock would end like this]].
* DressingAsTheEnemy: Chapter XIII has [[spoiler: Doug and Anzu]] pretending to be members of Team Rocket.
* DisguisedInDrag: Henry transforms into "Henrietta" for spy purposes. In the same chapter we see Petrel disguised as Lorelei.
* ElementalPersonalities: Yonkoma Nuzlocke introduces so-caled "Elemental Theory" which attributes certain personality traits to the eighteen Pokémon types - and supposes that as a result human characters also have types, just not the "powers" associated with them. It's never really the focus and it is stated outright that the characters are not limited to their type characteristics, but it does act as a sort of built-in {{BonusContent}}.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: It's a Nuzlocke and it's in a {{yonkoma}} format.
* ExpressiveHair: Happens quite commonly. Most notably Zea's "Pidgeotto Ahoge" acts like this on occasions and so does Doug's own (when visible).
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: [[spoiler: Anzu's crush on Doug]] is painfully obvious and far from unreciprocated. Problem is, she's [[CannotSpitItOut quite shy about it]] (and mistakenly thinks it's a case of [[ArrangedMarriage]]), while [[InsecureloveInterest he thinks she's way out of his league]], thus believing all obvious hints to be [[SelectiveObliviousness his own misunderstanding]].
* FakeOutTwist: [[spoiler: Chapter X is a lot to take in, but really puts a lot of past events into new perspective and answers a lot of questions. [[TheReveal The big reveal]] is only the first in a series of surprises.]]
* FormatSpecificJoke: One of the early pages has Gary [[{{Shoryuken}} uppercut]] Doug so hard it breaks through the space between the panels. Another instant has a character fall out of a panel
* GoodCopBadCop: Mayumi's Good Cop is quite a Bad Cop.
* GoryDiscretionShot: Ivan's death is easily the most graphic part of the otherwise family-friendly comic, so the framing is appropriately discreet, though not enough to prevent you from getting [[OffWithHisHead what happened]].
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Zea and Sakura both die protecting others.]]
* IdiosyncraticShipnaming: The author himself provides intentionally weird names for ships, all of which start with an S. Currently we have shipshipping, stinkshipping and sketchshipping. One of those seems to be just a joke, but considering YN's track record, that only makes it more likely to become canon, somehow.
* [[spoiler: ImpersonationGambit]]
* ImportantHaircut: Happens to Doug, Daisy and Sabrina for various reasons. We also get glimpses of Daisy and Erika's many different hairstyles throughout their life.
* LampshadeHanging: Nearly every page. Yonkoma Nuzlocke loves playing with, deconstructing, commenting on and subverting everything about the games it's based on, popular tropes in general, other popular works, memes and perhaps most commonly [[SelfDeprecatingHumor itself]].
* LastStand: When Team Rocket attempts to take over Pewter City, [[spoiler: Mayumi faces their boss in battle. She [[UnderestimatingBadassery turns out not only too much for him, but for his immediate associates]], so Rockets have to gather from the entire City in order to finally, still with difficulty, take her down. They take her captive, but are still forced to retreat after the beating they took.]]
* LettingHerHairDown: Happens twice, but is inverted in both cases. The first instance happens as a result of the character's [[UnstoppableRage sheer rage]], while the second is a part of a disguise.
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Gary and Sabrina.
* LimitedWardrobe: Usually, but with exceptions. Most notably, Doug himself wears many different outfits.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Doug and Gary have known each other from childhood. [[BestFriends Daisy and Erika]] are also an example.
* TheMole: [[spoiler: It would seem both the Gym Leaders and Team Rocket have inside-men in the other group.]]
* MookFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Lott]] in Chapter IV.
* {{Narrator}}: Appears out of nowhere late into the story (which is immediately [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]]) and bickers with the characters. Apparently separate from the author, [[AuthorAvatar who is himself a character in the comic]]. As of strip #357 he was supposedly [[FunnySchizophrenia fired by the author for criticizing him]].
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: A lot of the time a new Pokémon of Doug's father is revealed right at the point where the skill of that particular mon would be useful to have around. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by the author himself, but somewhat [[JustifiedTrope justified]] considering this guy is part of the [[SecretPolice International Police]].
* OfficialCouple: Bill and Mayumi [[spoiler: as well as Misty]]. Gary and Sabrina get closer and closer to achieving this status, [[LikeAnOldMarriedCouple much to their dismay]].
* PartialTransformation: A certain bonus page has the scenario of Misty shapeshifting into a {{CuteMonsterGirl}}. It's played for laughs and remains [[LooseCanon unclear how canon it is]].
* PsychicLink: Oliver has [[SuperpowerfulGenetics an unusual power]] that allows him to [[Telepathy read the thoughts]] of Psychic-type Pokémon. [[Backstory For reasons]], Steen is the only non-Psychic Pokémon Oliver can similarly read - and since Steen is {{TheSpeechless}}, this makes the two a common duo.
* PunBasedTitle: One of the chapters is called "Good Cop & Dad Cop".
* PunnyName: Many random Pokémon used by many random characters receive those.
* PuzzleBoss: The battle against Koga most notably, though many others also have hints of this.
* ResetButton: Inverted. On one point Yonkoma Nuzlocke announced a full reboot of the comic. It turned out to be only a short series of specials with humorous twists on old moments. It also served the role of [[PreviouslyOn... a helpful reminder]] after a lengthy hiatus.
* SeriesHiatus: The comic had its fair share of lengthy pauses. It keeps coming back though.
* ShipperOnDeck: Daisy very much supports Gary and Sabrina pairing even if neither of the parties involved do.
* SignificantWardrobeShift: Doug undergoes two changes to his design, each time changing his clothes completely. Same happens later to Sabrina.
* SlasherSmile: Played for laughs. [[HarsherInHindsight Usually]].
* StickyFingers: Klow the Meowth's Pickup Ability turns out to be this, at least in part.
* TalkingAnimal: Like in many other Nuzlocke comics, Pokémon can speak and be understood by humans and vice-versa. Curiously, one of the few (unexplained) exceptions seems to be [[spoiler: Mewtwo.]]
* Teleportation: Used occasionally through the use of the self-evident Pokémon move.
* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: [[spoiler: In Chapter X Daisy keeps telling Gary and Sabrina that her best friend Erika is not evil. They think they know better.]]
* TheReveal: YN absolutely loves its plot twists and is not missing its fair share of surprising reveals.
* TheShadowKnows: When Brom refuses to partake in Lt. Surge's test, his shadow reveals his reasons.
* TrollingCreator: So much. Here's one author who revels in plot-twisting the carpet right from under his readers' feet.
* Yonkoma: Duh.
