Among him, his friends include [[FieryRedhead Tim Tim Wilson]], [[{{Tsundere}} Misty Waterflower]], [[TheAlcoholic Ash Ketchum]] and Seth's [[SarcasmMode loyal]] Emolga, [=BoltShock=].

However, it was then [[https://www.deviantart.com/kallofox345/status-update/20110984 cancelled officially due to lack of interest]]. Therefore, a lot of planned events on this page will likely never come to fruition.

8!!''Seth in the Pokécity'' provides examples of:
9* TheAlcoholic: Ash is the best example here.
10** Seth and Tim Tim, to a lesser extent.
11** Flosshead, despite being a child in dinosaur years, loves beer and wine.
12* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: One upcoming episode shows that Ash is intelligent when he's sober.
13* AllMenArePerverts: Most of the males on the show (most notably Vinny and Barney) are perverts to some extent.
14* AmbiguouslyBi:
15** In "Save the Grotto", there is a scene where Vinny makes out with a cardboard cut-out of Chris Hemsworth, but is also a DirtyKid known to hit on grown women.
16** Seth and Tim Tim share a lot of HoYay scenes, but are married to Misty and May, respectively.
17* AuthorAvatar: Seth, to some extent. Him and [=KalloFox34=] are both liberal atheists who have the same taste in pop-culture. What sets him apart from other fanfiction examples is that he's a ButtMonkey who does have his flaws (sarcasm, lack of a backbone, perversion, alcoholism, obsession with TV, etc.).
18* BannedEpisode: In-Universe example in "Bowlin' Again, Naturally". At the beginning of the episode, Seth and Tim Tim are watching a banned episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'', where Tommy and Chuckie watch ''[[ShowWithinAShow Lonely Space Vixens]]''. [[BlackComedy The episode ends with Chuckie accidentally shooting Angelica after finding a gun concealed under his couch seat]].
19* BlatantLies: This gem from "Bowlin' Again, Naturally":
20-->'''Carter:''' "Seth? SETH! Wake up! You’re supposed to be inspecting the Poké Balls!"
21-->'''Seth:''' "I know, I know. I cut my eye yesterday and it's making it hard to keep my eyes open."
22-->'''Carter:''' "Really? How?"
23-->'''Seth:''' "I kinda got into a BarBrawl at the Blotto Grotto."
24* BrainyBrunette: Seth is usually this.
25* ButtMonkey:
26** Seth is a frequent slapstick target, starting from "Save the Grotto".
27** Flosshead takes a lot of punishment to make up for his {{Jerkass}} behavior.
28* CrossoverGag:
29** ''Fanfic/ThePokemonSquad'' examples:
30*** In "Trouble Date", Flosshead accidentally hits June with a car:
31---->'''June:''' (Nick jingle)! God, can’t people (Nick jingle)ing drive in this (Nick jingle)ing town?!\
32'''Henry:''' Whoa, June! Calm down!\
33'''June:''' Shut the (Nick jingle) up, Henry!\
34'''Henry:''' Okay.
35*** In "Less Money, Mo' Problems", May screams when Tim Tim suggests that she gives up [[TrademarkFavoriteFood ramen]]. It's loud enough for RM and Max to hear it.
36* DependingOnTheWriter:
37** Officer Jenny's personality seems to depend on what makes the joke work. She's either a StrawFeminist or a DirtyCop who not only accepts bribes, but even asks for them.
38** Seth tends to vary as well. He's either a smug, apathetic InsufferableGenius; an occasionally insensitive but [[NiceGuy well-meaning fellow]]; a walking punchline; or a spineless NervousWreck, sometimes more than one within a single episode.
39** Flosshead, too. He either has a HiddenHeartOfGold or is just a plain old {{Jerkass}} lacking any sort of redeeming qualities.
40* DoesNotLikeMen:
41** Officer Jenny hates men, frequently arresting Seth and Tim Tim over the slightest indiscretions, while granting Misty and May KarmaHoudini status.
42** [[WesternAnimation/{{Daria}} Ms. Barch]] is naturally this.
43* {{Expy}}:
44** Flosshead was intentionally modeled after [[WebVideo/SuperMarioLogan Bowser Junior]], with his bratty behavior and {{Jerkass}} antics.
45** Seth and Tim Tim themselves were modeled after [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Stan and Kyle]], being [[OnlySaneMan the sanest]] in [[CrapsackWorld Goldenrod City]].
46* ExtremeDoormat:
47** Vinny, Flosshead's best friend/partner in crime. Even after the terrible things Flosshead does (or, rather, did, because Flosshead later became much less competent), Vinny forgives him routinely.
48** Seth himself is also an extreme doormat. While he sometimes gets angry at Misty, he usually forgives her. He also rarely stands up for Misty when [[ObnoxiousInLaws Kay and Arnold]] pick on her.
49* FieryRedhead: Tim Tim and Misty are good examples.
50* {{Flanderization}}: Done intentionally.
51** Seth was mostly a NiceGuy in the earliest episodes, with only occasional bouts of snarkiness. Later, he TookALevelInJerkass, becoming much more of a lazy alcoholic jerk.
52** Meanwhile, Tim Tim's short fuse is being slowly phased out in favor of a more perverted persona.
53** Flosshead was less evil early on. Later on, he's become a supreme {{Jerkass}} who goes out of his way to torment Tim Tim.
54* FourTemperamentEnsemble:
55** [[DeadpanSnarker Seth]] (phlegmatic), [[{{Tsundere}} Misty]] (choleric), [[StraightMan Tim Tim]] (melancholic) and [[TheAlcoholic Ash]] (sanguine)
56* GoldfishPoopGang: Flosshead and Vinny are good examples later on, when the former became a petty {{Troll}} whose evil acts amount to nothing more than PokeThePoodle.
57* {{Greed}}: A lot of Flosshead's antics are fueled by money.
58* HairTriggerTemper:
59** Tim Tim is actually a NiceGuy, but he's also quick to anger.
60** Misty too, but with Seth's occasional {{Jerkass}} behavior, it's {{Justified|Trope}} at times.
61* {{Jerkass}}:
62** [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent Flosshead]], who pulls pranks, causes mayhem, [[{{Troll}} trolls internet forums]] (Yahoo Answers in particular) and [[WithFriendsLikeThese treats his best friend Vinny like crap]].
63** Barney, Flosshead's father, is no slouch in this department himself. He has shown he is [[AbusiveParents quite abusive]] to Flosshead.
64** Pikachu. One of the first signs of showing this was in "Don't Trust the J in Apartment 23", where he shamelessly sells nude calendars featuring May.
65* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
66** Seth tends to be either this or a regular NiceGuy. While he is a [[TheCynic cynical]] DeadpanSnarker, he usually just wants the best for his friends and family.
67** Tim Tim has a HairTriggerTemper and shows similar DeadpanSnarker tendencies, but outside of those, he's really warm-hearted and polite.
68** Reko, though the jerk part is mostly greed.
69* NiceGuy:
70** Seth, though not without flaws, is cool-tempered, (usually) selfless and when he does something wrong, he will try to fix it.
71** Tim Tim is one of the only characters who ''doesn't'' abuse [[ButtMonkey Seth]], and is usually amiable until he's provoked.
72* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Tim Tim gives a brutal one to Flosshead in "Trouble Date".
73* SitcomArchNemesis:
74** Flosshead's favorite target for pranks and cruelty is Tim Tim. In return, Tim Tim hates Flosshead the most out of the main cast.
75* SpontaneousChoreography: In an upcoming episode, we have Seth and a large amount of fish singing a song about catching salmon in a bucket.
76* StrawmanPolitical: Flosshead is the series' default {{Jerkass}} and sometimes exhibits decidedly right-wing beliefs.
77* TakeThat:
78** [=KalloFox34=] has said that he loathes ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'', and it shows:
79*** In the upcoming episode "Less Money, Mo' Problems", they manage to fit two of these into one scene. A scavenger hunt on TV claims nobody had found a funny episode of ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy''. Cue UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump outside in a dumpster, digging around for evidence against Joe Biden, sadly saying "I like ''Ed, Edd n' Eddy''..."
80*** "Seth's Christmas Tales" has this exchange at the end of the third segment:
81---->'''[[WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife Rachel Bighead]]:''' After all, you ''do'' remember the scumbag that ruined an entire TV network?\
82'''Seth:''' Oh, you mean Danny Antonucci?\
83'''Rachel:''' Well, him too...
84* TrademarkFavoriteFood:
85** Seth loves beer, soda, coffee, chocolate and pizza.
86** Tim Tim is very fond of donuts, except [[DoesNotLikeSpam jelly-filled ones]].
87** May has an obsession with ramen, to the point that her screams can travel miles if she has to give it up.
88* {{Troll}}: Flosshead is a good example, going around feeding off of the ire of the town at any given opportunity.
89* VitriolicBestBuds: Seth and Tim Tim. They may constantly argue and snark at each other, but they're ultimately close-knit, sometimes to HoYay levels.
