* TheAnimeOfTheGame

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: Giovanni's Nidoqueen trounces Red's Charizard in ''seconds'' at the Silph Co. building. ''And then the bastard gets away in a helicopter!'']]

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: Giovanni's Nidoqueen "trounces" Red's Charizard in "seconds" at the Silph Co. building. "And then the bastard gets away in a helicopter!"]]

* AscendedMeme: Picked Charmander as your starter? Bet you know how Red feels facing Takeshi/Brock.
* BerserkButton: Protip: don't reffer to Pokemon as just "business" in front of Red. He doesn't take it well.
** Also don't [[spoiler: call your Pokemon morons in front of your grandad, Green.]]

** This is used for good use in the special though. [[spoiler: Pokemon Mansion is detailed in one of the Montages but is a major plot point of the last 30 minutes so it gets a revisit through flashback later]]

* NoSell: Geodude barely felt Charmander's scratch in the trailer.
* OhCrap: [[spoiler:Mr. Fuji has this happen when he learns Red is going to fight ''[[GoneHorriblyRight Mewtwo.]]'' ]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The President of Silph Co. just flat out disappears during the battle between Giovanni and Ash. His office is destroyed, and there's no sign of him, despite the fact that Red, Giovanni, and everyone else in the room are all perfectly fine.

* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler:Mega Charizard X, ten days before the release of Videogame/PokemonXAndY.]]

* WhamShot: Surprisingly, the special contains one not just for itself, but for the then-upcoming PokemonXAndY. [[spoiler: Charizard Mega-Evolves during the battle with Mewtwo.... but it's a '''different''' Mega form than the one previously revealed. Cue the end of the special showing that Charizard will have ''two'' Mega forms, one for X and one for Y.]]

''Pokémon Origins'' ([[MarketBasedTitle Pocket Monsters: The Origin in Japan]]) is a ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' {{OVA}} that aired on October 2nd, 2013 in Japan, and will be streamed on the North American official site in mid-November. It is an adaptation of the original ''Videogame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' game featuring Red, his [[TheRival rival Blue]], and their adventures across Kanto.

* AdaptationExpansion: Giovanni is given hints of a backstory, and minor NPCs like Mr Fuji's granddaughter have expanded roles.

* FriendlyRivalry: Red and Blue appear to have one.

* UnderdogsNeverLose: Averted. Red's journey starts uphill when Blue picks Squirtle to his Charmander, and he loses their first battle. Not to mention his first gym is a rock type. He also loses to Giovanni later.

** The infamous "White Hand" dialogue from Lavender Town is re-enacted... but after Red tells them to quit joking, he turns around to find the NPC ''not there''. Certainly a nod to the fandom's many [[{{Creepypasta}} Creepypastas]].

** And [[spoiler: the Silph Co. President]].

* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler: Pokemon Mansion in the montage.]]

* AdaptationDyeJob: From the looks of it several characters are getting a mish-mash of their [=FRLG=] and [=HGSS=] designs. A more traditional example is Red's mom, who has blue hair in the games but brown in this anime.

* OhCrap: [[Mr. Fuji]] has this happen when he learns Red is going to fight ''[[GoneHorriblyRight Mewtwo.]]''

* CompressedAdaptaion: It was inevitable. The moments shown in detail are the beginning, battle with Brock, the Lavender Town plot, Silph Co, 8th Gym Battle, Champion battle and [[spoiler: Mewtwo]]. Everything else is shown through montages.
