9!!''Tricanon'' provides examples of:
10
11* AllThereInTheManual: There are extensive author’s notes apparently, as the author only put in the link to them at the bottom of Chapter 5. There’s some background info, including names and exactly who the Shout Outs are to.
12* FlashForwardFic: Set sometime after the timeline of the ''Pokémon'' anime.
13* {{Mon}}s: It is to be expected in a Pokemon fanfic. So far the showcased Mons include: Three Pichu, a swarm of Zubat, a Drifloon, and a Gardevoir. Ursaring is mentioned in passing.
14* PatchworkFic: The author’s notes mention that though the fic borrows most heavily from the anime, a little bit of ''Manga/TheElectricTaleOfPikachu'' is thrown in as well.
15* ShoutOut: In the author’s notes, they explain that a lot of non-canon extras are references to other series. E.g., the girl and her grandfather are a double ShoutOut to ''Anime/SpaceDandy'' and ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''.
16* StarfishLanguage: The author's notes state that Marie's speech is supposed to be rendered this way.
17* SwitchingPOV: The P.O.V. rotates between the three main characters. The switch is denoted by asterisks separated by a letter.
18* ThemeNaming: The Nurse Joy in Jubilife shares a theme with her brother as they are both named after character’s in Shakespeare’s ‘’Hamlet’’.
19** We have yet to see if the Jennys share a theme of being named after gemstones, ala ''Steven Universe''.
