Tropes
- Captain Obvious: "Acid is hazardous for life."
- The Emperor: As some of his minions are kings in their own right, it's suggested that Bowser might be this.
- Epic Fail: The Tale of Eeveelutions

"I don't always make errors of judgement, but when I do, I absolutely, utterly, totally blow it." - Didn't Think This Through: The only excuse for the aforementioned Epic Fail.
- Fantastic Racism: Apparently, this trope is why Toads are so homogeneous.

- Psychic Powers
- Superpower Lottery: It's suggested that ESP is a natural gift, while magic and controlling ki are something one has to learn or work for.

- Socialization Bonus: Deconstructed. The author lives in Grim Up North, so he doesn't get StreetPass notes very often.
- Spell My Name with an "S": According to the author, Nami's adoptive mother is named Bellemeré.
- Squee: The reaction to the revelation in One Piece Dressrosa arc that Sabo is alive.
- Symbol Swearing: "Right next to the @#&% Moss Rock."
- Rather jarring, since the prevoius post ended with the words "Fuck
StreetPass."
- Rather jarring, since the prevoius post ended with the words "Fuck
- What Were You Thinking?: Inverted. The author isn't sure what he was thinking with the whole "train three Eevees simultaneously at the site of Moss Rock" plan.
