3	''Pokémon Brown'' and ''Pokémon Prism'' are two ''huge'' {{ROM Hack}}s of Franchise/{{Pokemon}} games by ''[=KoolBoyMan=]'', based on ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pokémon Red]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Pokémon Crystal]]'', respectively. They are by far among the most well-known Pokémon hacks out there (they appear on Website/TheOtherWiki, and [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hack_games#Pok.C3.A9mon_Prism Bulbapedia]]) and that's not without good reason. They are by far the most edited Pokémon hacks out there, with only the sprites and Pokémon themselves the same.
4
5	''Prism'' works as a "sequel" to ''Brown'', including more features and better graphics. Both games can be linked to each other, which allows the player to exchange Pokémon or battle.
6
7	These hacks add two new continents, a new story, improved graphics, Pokémon up to Generation IV (plus Sylveon), Pokémon-only segments (''Prism'' only), and a ''[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic frickin' awesome new soundtrack]]''. (Again, ''Prism'' only)
8
9	While ''Brown'' was finished in 2009 (although an update was released in 2014), ''Prism'' nearly finished development (several working betas can be downloaded). ''Prism'' in a near-complete form premiered on ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemon'' [[note]] In fact, the team behind [=TPP=] helped to rescue the game from DevelopmentHell and did graphical work for Gen III and IV Pokemon [[/note]] but was unfortunately Cease and Desisted by Nintendo five days before it was set to release (however, the release build and source code were both leaked on 4chan's /v/ and /vp/ boards within 24 hours of the C&D). In 2017, a team dubbing itself "[[http://pokemonprism.com Rainbow Devs]]" took up the project and continues to update incomplete content and implement bug fixes with the original creators' consent.
10
11	There was another sequel, called ''Rijon Adventures'', which was be modified from ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pokémon FireRed]]'', and currently places itself 20 years after Brown's events - however, the conditions of the C&D means that production has ceased.
12
13	If you are curious, there is a LetsPlay of ''Brown'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-Fe4d0Ua8M here]]. All games cannot be obtained on the original website anymore, but a cursory Google can lead you to the patches.

15	----
16
17	!!Tropes used in multiple games:
18	* BalanceBuff: Many Pokemon have been enhanced by the new type combinations they've received, including Wigglytuff and Mismagius's new [[MakeSomeNoise Sound-based]] offense (which is especially useful given that their secondary STAB moves come rather late) and Weezing's boosted resistance to Fighting- and Bug-type moves.
19	* BigBoosHaunt: The Haunted Forest north of Botan City houses a CreepyCemetery with Ghost-type Pokemon. ''Prism'' adds a HauntedHouse that contains more types of Pokemon, [[spoiler:including a Gengar that sends the player off into a DreamSequence]].
20	* BilingualBonus: Jaeru City might seem like it has another nonsensical name like most cities in Rijon that aren't named after real cities from the San Francisco Bay Area (Eagulou and Owsauri come to mind), but in actuality, it's a Japanese verb meaning to fully complete, which is quite fitting, as the the Rijon Pokémon League is located just north of the city.
21	* BossInMookClothing: These trainers often appear in optional endgame dungeons, such as the trainers with level 70+ Pokemon the trainer is required to beat before they can reach Moltres/Entei. However, ''Prism'' at least has one that appears much earlier in the game: a Milotic-welding fisherman that's required to fight before continuing.
22	* DiscOneNuke: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with the traditional example of Magikarp, in which they couldn't be captured until much later than they would be in the main games.
23	* LikeCannotCutLike: Played very much straight with the Sound-type, which has no effect on itself.
24	* LuckBasedMission: The casinos make a return in these games. ''Prism'' also introduces a whole-new Pachisi board game, where players are at the mercy of the dice roll that determines whether or not they make it to the end of the board.
25	* MutualDisadvantage: Fire and Gas types are super-effective towards each other.
26	* {{Nerf}}: While not as common as the Pokemon that have been boosted by the new typings, there have been those that have been negatively impacted by them. Most notably, the [[GlassCannon Gastly]], [[InfinityMinusOneSword Beldum]], and [[StoneWall Bronzor]] lines have all developed 4x weaknesses to [[MakeSomeNoise Sound-type moves]].
27	* OriginalGeneration: Features both the (common in fan works) Sound-type and the more unique Gas-type. Sound is strong against Gas, Psychic, Ghost, and Steel, but is also the only type weak to Normal, and Sound cannot effect Sound. Gas is strong against Fairy and Fighting, and mutually super-effective against Fire, while not being very effective against Sound, Grass, Ice, Rock, and Ghost. Reclassified Sound-types include the Jigglypuff and Whismur lines while reclassified Gas types include the Gastly and Koffing lines.
28	* NoobCave: Both games have the player begin their quest in a cave. ''Brown'' has Merson Cave, the tunnel that links Gravel Town to Merson City; while ''Prism'' throws the player in the middle of Acqua Mines, where they first meet their Larvitar.
29	* PunnyName: The ''Rijon'' region.
30
31	!!Tropes used in ''Brown'':
32	* CallForward: Certain [[spoiler:Pallet Rangers]] cameo in the end stages of the game.
33	* TheCameo: A couple of significant individuals (including [[spoiler:Giovanni]]), and even a ''place'' - you can visit Azalea Town (Rijon is south of it), but not the rest of Johto since Azalea [[BrokenBridge was sealed off by an earthquake]].
34	* GlitchEntity: While koolboyman did his best to keep actual glitches from showing up throughout the course of the game, it is still affectionately parodied in one dungeon. An (intentionally) glitched looking Hypno sprite is used in place of the ghosts that appeared in Pokémon Tower. They still terrify your Pokémon, but by [[TheUnintelligible spouting garbled nonsense]] instead of demands for you to leave.
35	* HeroicMime: Averted with the player character, who also speaks in Prism as part of the Mystery League (Red and Gold/Ethan do not).
36	* ObviousRulePatch: New types were added to better balance the game, including the Dark type to counter Psychics as in all subsequent generations, and even a new type that is weak against Normal moves.
37	* PeninsulaOfPowerLeveling: There is one accessible even before the first Gym, a small single patch of tall grass ''inside a town'' with level 17 to 20 Pokémon (some rare ones like Pikachu, Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan), conveniently in the front of a Pokémon Center.
38	* {{Superboss}}: The [[spoiler:Pallet Ranger]] at the end of the BonusDungeon, with a team of Level 100 Pokemon. After beating him, the game informs you that you have basically completed everything.
39	* TruthInTelevision: Although it's most likely a coincidence, there is, in fact, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castro_Valley,_California a real Castro Valley]].
40
41	!!Tropes used in ''Prism'':
42	* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: As mentioned above, you can walk around the overworld as individual Pokémon in a few areas.
43	* AnimalTalk: A Pokémon's speech is translated to perfect English if you talk to them as a Pokémon (some parts of the game let you walk one of your party members around the overworld).
44	* TheArtifact:
45	** The game runs on a heavily modified version of ''Crystal'', and while a lot of the features from later generations (such as Fairy types, Abilities, and the Physical/Special split) are added into the game, some other quirks of the Gen II games (such as limited bag space, stat experience instead of Effort Values, the archaic Box system of the pre-Gen 3 games, and having [=DVs=] instead of [=IVs=], alongside [=DVs=] determining a pokemon's gender and shininess) remain as is, because the engine would need to be fundamentally reworked to change those aspects.
46	** Sun Stones are still in the game, but all of the pokemon that evolve by the Sun Stone, such as the Sunkern line and Oddish line, were removed, and none of the new pokemon added in their place use the stone either, making it completely useless. It can't be made into any ring either unlike the other evolutionary stones, leaving it as pure ShopFodder. However, as of version 0.95, Sun Stones are no longer obtainable.
47	** For some reason, [=KoolBoyMan=] [[spoiler:kept Lance as the champion, even though he removed the Dragonite line, the Pokemon that always been Lance's ace Pokemon in every official iteration]].
48	* {{Bathos}}: The Palette Patrollers have personalities ranging from petty criminals to [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitious]] {{Well Intentioned Extremist}}s, not unlike the other criminal organizations in the Pokémon universe. However, all of them are wearing ridiculous Franchise/PowerRangers-esque body suits, [[spoiler:despite the leader insisting it's actually traditional Naljo garb]].
49	* BigBadDuumvirate: Both Palettes Green and Yellow serve as the main antagonists of the game, [[spoiler:who later collaborate with a group of scientists in order to artificially boost Pokémon intelligence for profit and science.]]
50	* {{Bookends}}: After beating the Champion, there's another campsite scene. [[spoiler:This time with both your mother and Lance, your father.]] Also, the first gym and the final postgame gym are both Fire-type.
51	* BossRush: The eighth gym has the player rematch against four of the Naljo gym leaders before facing off against the ClimaxBoss.
52	* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: Or at least where you're camping. When you leave to get firewood, there's a landslide, and you can't get back. [[FromBadToWorse Then you ride a minecart offered by a suspicious man in a tunnel, and it breaks, trapping you alone in a cave.]] But then you run into a Larvitar blocking your path; it jumps into a Pokéball and comes along on your adventure.
53	* CaptainErsatz: The Pallet Patrollers are very blatant Franchise/PowerRangers knockoffs, complete with an 8-bit rendition of the Power Rangers theme as their encounter music. One Patroller wishes they could be called the [[TitleDrop Prism]] Rangers, and laments that [[Franchise/{{Disgaea}} another team]] beat them to the name.
54	* CharacterDevelopment: Various characters undergo this. Some antagonistic characters have undergone a HeelFaceTurn after thinking about their wrongdoings in Saxifrage Island, while others have [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere abandoned their original goals]] in favor of [[OnlyInItForTheMoney other]] [[ForScience means]]. Even [[VanillaProtagonist the player character]] has their moments when their reverence for Pokemon is tested by the sage in Magikarp Caverns, and later when [[spoiler:a Gengar throws them into a DreamSequence that enlightens them about their importance to the Naljo region.]]
55	* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Andre and his followers are capable of building and destroying architectural structure (burrows, bridges; etc.) with their bare hands. This is partly motivated by their vehement disdain towards technology, as they believe that it will leave society unprepared for a collapse in civilization.
56	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Due to Crystal being hardcoded to only be able to handle 255 pokemon slots, a large amount of Gen 1 and 2 Pokémon were overwritten to make way for the Gen 3 and 4 Pokémon, Sylveon, and the five Fakémon legendaries (Brown still has all 151 of the originals).
57	* ClimaxBoss: The eighth gym leader, [[spoiler:Steel-type user Bruce]], is presented as this. The first room emphasizes this with the title theme playing in the background instead of the usual gym theme. The lower level has the player solving puzzles based on past places, and engaging in a BossRush with some of the previous gym leaders before going up against the final Naljo leader himself.
58	* CrapsaccharineWorld: Naljo is presented as this. Despite appearing to be a standard, colorful ''Pokémon'' region, it is plagued with greed and corruption, with much of Naljo's ecosystem and traditions disappearing to make way for urban development. Most people are economically downtrodden and unhappy with their lives, and that's saying nothing of Saxifrage Prison, which often starves incarcerated people and Pokémon alike. [[spoiler: Understandably, the Palette Rangers and the [[OriginalGeneration Naljo]] [[OlympusMons Guardians]] want to [[GaiasVengeance destroy the region and start it anew]].]]
59	* ColorfulThemeNaming: The Palette Patrollers are named after different colors, and the Pokémon they use (including the Eeveelutions) are in the same color group the Pallet Patroller using them is.
60	* DarkerAndEdgier:
61	** Earlier builds went this route: characters swear readily, the rival is first encountered while he is [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals torturing a Bagon]], the co-leader of the QuirkyMiniBossSquad threatens to kill the player character when their Pokémon aren't around to protect them, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking some characters are just gratuitously obnoxious and nasty]]. All of this is toned down in the 0.91 build, which brings the tone closer to that of an actual ''Pokemon'' game.
62	** The Gas-type attacks, however, kept names like "Nerve Gas", "Mustard Gas", and "Lewisite" for years, until they were finally renamed to "Shock Smog", "Burning Mist", and "Miasma" respectively in the 0.95.0248 patch. As one [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonPrism beta tester]] [[https://www.reddit.com/r/twitchplayspokemon/comments/58f0vm/dusclops_attacks_with_lewdsite/d908gis put it:]]
63	--->'''[=VorpalNorman=]:''' Are ''all'' the Gas-type attacks war crimes?
64	* DiscOneFinalBoss: While [[spoiler:Palette Red]] serves as the primary threat, who is the leader of the Palette Patrollers, in their pursuit to use the Guardians to drive foreigners out of Naljo, his status as the BigBad is later overshadowed by his former minions [[spoiler:Palettes Yellow and Green]], who both become the BigBad of the game.
65	* DiscOneNuke:
66	** Marill can be caught early on and can come with the Huge Power ability, which ''doubles its Attack stat''. Tackle is already dangerous at that point, but at level 10, it learns Double Slap, which is a STAB Fairy move here. Then it evolves just 8 levels later to Azumarill, which hits extremely hard with Huge Power by the time you get it and can remain relevant through the rest of the game.
67	** Wild Sneasel and Gligar can be found just after the first Gym in Mound Cave, with each having a small chance of carrying the held item required to evolve them. If the player is lucky enough to find either, they can have a strong, fully evolved Pokemon before even reaching the third city in the game. Even without the items to evolve them, Sneasel and Gligar will make very strong pokemon for the early game, since they have the stats for what were originally supposed to be serious single-stage pokemon. Additionally you can get an Ice Punch TM from the Spurge City's Casino that's available right after Mound Cave, getting you a 75 power STAB move for Sneasel/Weavile that runs off its much better Attack stat (at a point in the game where around 50 power tends to be the best you can get), if you're willing to spend some time grinding coins in the Casino (which given the addition of Poker and Blackjack, is much more bearable to do).
68	** Also in Mound Cave you can find wild Eevee as a very rare encounter, which can then be immediately evolved into Jolteon, Vaporeon, or Flareon if you are lucky enough to mine up one of the requisite evolutionary stones early, evolved into Glaceon if you take it to Clathrite Tunnel and level it up there (which is available before even reaching Mound Cave), a Leafeon if you wait a little bit and level it up at Laurel Forest, or just run around until its friendship gets high enough to evolve it into Espeon or Umbreon before progressing. You can get additionally get Eevee as a prize from the Spurge Casino, if you don't want to bother finding one in Mound Cave due to their 1% encounter rate.
69	** After Mound Cave when you reach Spurge City, there's an orphanage that you can donate pokemon to for "orphan points", which you can then exchange for rare pokemon. Through this you have another means to obtain the aforementioned Eevee early, and you can also get Riolu from here if you catch and donate a ton of pokemon to the orphanage. Then you can run around a lot and repeatedly teach [=TMs=] to Riolu to get its happiness high enough to evolve, allowing you to possibly have a Lucario before you even reach the second gym.
70	* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Brown (the player character of the hack of the same name) appeared identical to Red in the Brown hack, but here, he has received his own design with longer sleeves and different hair, further helped by the Game Boy Color’s palette.
71	* EarlyBirdCameo: One of the legendaries from Prism, Phancero, made a fully-playable appearance as a BraggingRightsReward on [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonCrystalAnniversary another popular Pokémon Crystal fanhack]] earlier in 2016, as the only Fakémon available there. [[spoiler: Granted, it ''is'' the pokémon form of [[CreepyPasta OLDEN]], so in a meta sense it's justifiable.]]
72	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The rival forcing a terrified Bagon to fight for its life sets the tone for his character very firmly.
73	* ExtraTurn: Some spaces on the Pachisi board give the player additional rolls.
74	* {{Foreshadowing}}: One of the available visuals for a male player character bear a close resemblance to [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue kantonian]] Elite Four's Lance. [[spoiler:Hardly a coincidence, since he's the player's ''father'']].
75	* GlitchEntity: [[spoiler: Phancero is based heavily on [=MissingNo=], to the point it's animation briefly turns into Missingno. It's encountered in the "glitch" city from the original games, and is part flying, in reference to Missingno being Bird-type.]]
76	* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Even after you're released from prison, certain guards will still call you a prisoner and throw you back in your ''unlocked'' cell if you try to enter a restricted area. None of the guards will stop you from releasing other prisoners, or capturing incarcerated Pokémon.
77	* GuestStarPartyMember:
78	** A Caterpie joins the player briefly to meet back up with his mother as a ShoutOut to the tutorial stage of the first ''[[VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon Mystery Dungeon]]'' game.
79	** Nobu's Aggron temporarily joins your party, and you have to guide it to its master so that it can bring him home safely.
80	* InfinityMinusOneSword: You begin the game with the first stage of a ''pseudo-legendary''.
81	* InterchangeableAntimatterKeys: The "cage key" item.
82	* LeetLingo: Naljo's professor spoke in this in one of the earlier builds. Mercifully, this was averted by the time the hack got leaked.
83	* LOL69: A lot of people apparently find Route 69 funny, hence the sign on Route 69 that, instead of starting with "Route 69" starts with "Route 68+1 - Please stop taking the signs".
84	* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:The protagonist's father is Lance, the league champion. There's a little family reunion scene after you beat him.]]
85	* MeaningfulName: Phancero from "Phantom" and "Cero", Spanish for zero, as its positioned as a fourth member of the Legendary Birds.
86	* MetaGuy: Edison. Before his gym battle, he tells the player that the ''Pokemon Prism'' universe "isn't some fictional anime", making a reference to ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' without showing any actual awareness of said series (see TakeThat). Later at the BossRush, he describes how he meticulously studied your battle style and sought to counter it, something that any savvy boss character would ([[GameplayAndStorySegregation attempt to]]) do.
87	* MinusWorld [[spoiler: Glitch City appears in the game and is where the player finds and catches Phancero.]]
88	* NeverTrustATrailer: The "Boxart" for Prism depicts Mega Tyranitar yet Mega Evolution is not possible. It could however have been a planned mechanic had the project still been allowed to be worked on.
89	* NewWorldTease: The first time you go to Rijon, only Botan City is accessible. It's only after beating the Elite Four that the rest of Rijon is accessible.
90	* NightmareFetishist: Quite literally with Edison, whom describes having his dreams being eaten by a Gengar [[spoiler:(the same one that sent the player character in their own plot-significant DreamSequence)]] as "the most pleasant dream."
91	* NoOSHACompliance: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] with the sixth gym, which houses Gas-type trainers. Also [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]], as the toxic fumes within have caused the trainers to become lethargic and [[TheDitz dim-witted]].
92	* NostalgiaLevel: Because Rijon is south of Johto and west of the Sevii islands, parts of those regions can be visited in later builds. Naljo is also to the south of Tunod, the region from ''VideoGame/PokemonGlazed'', and the southern parts of it can be visited as well.
93	* NoSmoking: [[AvertedTrope Averted]], unlike the main series, as there is a cigarette item that can be held to increase the power of Gas-type moves. The Black Ranger was also a smoker in earlier builds (and also gave you the item himself).
94	* OriginalGeneration: The game has five original "[[FanNickname Fakemon]]" legendaries that can be encountered and caught; the plot of the Naljo region centers on the four Naljo guardians, while Phancero is an AscendedGlitch based on Missingno.
95	* OutsideTheBoxTactic: While [[ThatOneBoss Andre]] puts up a fierce fight in his own right, [[spoiler:neither his Machoke nor Machamp can touch Ghost-type Pokemon at all]].
96	* OxymoronicBeing: All of the Naljo guardians have paradoxical typings. Varaneous is Fire/Water, Fambaco is Ghost/Fighting, Raiwato is Rock/Electric (a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] example given Rock's heavy association with Ground) and Libabeel is Steel/Poison.
97	* PatchworkMap: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as the Naljo region is ruled by elemental guardians that impact its climate and geology. The extreme climate variations are frequently [[LampshadeHanging mentioned]] by Naljo locals.
98	* PowerupLetdown:
99	** Some of the elemental rings boost a certain stat while reducing ''accuracy''. While this stat wouldn't be as necessary to stall-based Pokemon, one of the rings boosts special attack, making it useful only to those that can learn the AlwaysAccurateAttack Aura Sphere.
100	** While the move tutor often gives Pokemon useful moves they wouldn't otherwise be able to learn, sometimes they're either lackluster or don't fit the needs of those Pokemon.
101	** "Prism" is a new type which is only used for the move "Prism Beam", with the gimmick being that it is not super effective or resisted by any type. However when it comes to coverage moves, you typically want moves that will compliment the user's STAB types by [[ScissorsCutsRock hitting their counter types super-effectively]], covering whatever holes is in your party's type coverage, moves that are specifically tailored towards countering whatever opponent you're about to fight, or otherwise trying to maximize your pokemon's super-effective type coverage in general; if you have other options you'll pretty much never want to settle for just always hitting neutrally with a coverage move, and pokemon can often learn enough varying types to hit nearly everything neutrally anyway. Plus since no pokemon is Prism type, no pokemon can get STAB off it.
102	* QuirkyMiniBossSquad: The Pallet Patrollers.
103	* [[RaisedByWolves Raised By Machamps]]: This was Andre's upbringing, and is also why he's both [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower super-strong]] and [[CrazySurvivalist very firmly technophobic]].
104	* {{Retcon}}: With the introduction of the new Gas- and Sound-types, a number of Pokémon and moves have had their types changed to one of them:
105	** The Igglybuff and Chingling lines have had the Sound-type added to them, with the former having the Sound-type replace the Normal-type. Porygon-Z and the Whismur line are also now pure Sound-type instead of pure Normal. Sound-based moves that were previously Normal-type, such as Hyper Voice and Supersonic, are now Sound-type.
106	** The Koffing Line and Torkoal are now part Gas in addition to their preexisting types, while the Gastly line has the Gas-type replace their previous Poison-type. The moves Smog, Poison Gas, and Smokescreen are all now Gas-type as well.
107	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Brooklyn's Totodile pulls this off twice, the first time being it runs away to Laurel Forest just to get away from the ever-so-irritating Brooklyn, [[ExactWords something Totodile itself tells the protagonists' Pokemon upon first meeting it]], and after Brooklyn has been defeated for her badge. It is because of how annoying Brooklyn is that her Totodile decides to join the protagonist, and they never say a word about where Totodile is.
108	* ScissorsCutsRock:
109	** A recurring theme with some of the new moves added are those that have the effect of hitting a type super effectively that would normally resist it (such as the new Fire move, Boil, which is super effective against the Water type), or allows it to hit a type that would normally be immune (such as Crystal Bolt, an Electric type move that can hit the Ground type for neutral damage).
110	** The Tinted Lens ability also makes a return, causing not-very-effective moves to deal the same damage as if they hit for neutral effectiveness.
111	* SideView: Used in some areas.
112	* TakeThat: After allowing Edison to dream again, he tells you:
113	--> "Well, this isn't [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries some fictional anime]], so I can't just give you my badge."[[labelnote:Explanation]]The early ''Pokemon'' anime was notorious for, among other things, giving Ash gym badges whenever he did a good deed, even if he didn't actually beat their respective gym leaders in battle.[[/labelnote]]
114	* TakeYourTime: Taken to a ludicrous degree with the Naljo Guardians. [[spoiler:Even though the release of Varaneous by the Palette Patrol is supposed to threaten Naljo with complete annihilation, the player can ignore all of the Guardians, and the region will remain as it was since the player first arrived there.]]
115	* ThirdOptionAdaptation:
116	** Played straight with Gold (Ethan), who has the fully-evolved forms of all three Johto starters. [[AdaptationInducedPlotHole However, unlike Yellow, there’s no way to get more than one Johto starter in Generation II without trading.]]
117	** Averted with Brown who has Charizard but not Blastoise or Venusaur, presumably to differentiate his team from Red’s.
118	* TookALevelInJerkass: Every other NPC in the Naljo region, due to some unknown apparently supernatural influence spreading throughout the area.
119	* TotallyRadical: Josiah, leader of the first gym. He lapses out of his 90's lingo when he's explaining what the TM that he gives out does.
120	* TutorialFailure: An NPC in the Jeweling house tells you that while making rings is a big money sink initially, you'll eventually be able to make a profit off of Jeweling. However it isn't just the starting Grass Ring that sells for a measely 50 yen, it's ''every ring that sells that low'', even the high level ones that require multiple stones to make. Now since every evolutionary stone can be sold for 1050 yen, you'll be burning away a massive profit by turning them into rings instead, making the whole Jeweling mechanic pointless after you got all the rings you want to equip your party with. Fortunately as of version 0.95.0253, rings do now sell an appropriate amount and so Jeweling can actually be profitable.
121	* VirtualPaperDoll: On top of defining a gender, the sprite of the player character and its palette can be modified into a wide variety of colors.
122	* WalkingSpoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with [=KoolBoyMan=]'s first Fakemon character, Prismeon. It was [[WhatCouldHaveBeen supposed to be]] a well-hidden original addition to the Eeveelution line, but was scrapped some time before the 0.91 build.
123	* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: In-Universe. An NPC at Spurge City Mall mentions that ''VideoGame/PokemonQuartz'' has a lot of profanity it in despite being rated E for Everyone - A nod towards the hack's prominence as a bootleg cart, with the box falsely claiming it to be given that rating.
124	* YellowLightningBlueLightning: The move Crystal Bolt uses blue lightning.
125	* YouAreNumberSix: Members of the Scientist trainer class are identified as such.
126
127	!!Tropes used in ''Rijon Adventures'':
128	* BigEater: An NPC in Moraga Town's diner mentions Karpman as being one.
129	* BlackoutBasement: The bottom floor of Silk Tunnel is a darkened cavern where you can find Ice types.
130	* BreakingTheFourthWall: ''Rijon Adventures''' producer appears in Goldenrod City to stop you from going past the Game Corner building, due to the rest of the city not being accessible in the most recent beta.
131	* FestivalEpisode: The Golden Flower Festival is taking place when you arrive in Goldenrod City.
132	* MythologyGag: Youngster Samuel on Route 34 is [[AgeLift now older and in high school]].
133	* QuietlyPerformingSisterShow: A given considering that ''Brown'' and ''Prism'' are two of the most critically acclaimed ''Pokemon'' ROM hacks ever. While it doesn't have the same degree of innovation as the aforementioned games, it's still held in high regard in its own right.
134	* RougeAnglesOfSatin: Azalea Town's charcoal kiln is spelled as "charcoal klin."
135	* ShoutOut:
136	** Lily's favorite book is ''[[Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet Romeo and Juliet]]''.
137	** One NPC in Moraga Town's diner asks if you've seen the ''[[Anime/FullmetalAlchemistTheConquerorOfShamballa Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' movie.
138	* SlippySlideyIceWorld:
139	** Lily's gym, being an Ice type leader.
140	** One part of Rijon Tunnel is an ice passage.
141	* TimeSkip: Takes place 20 years after ''Brown''.
