* FamilyExtermination: PlayedForLaughs; Derek and Tracy kill Gerber and Sara's families soon after catching them. They're understandably [[EveryoneHasStandards horrified]], at least until they encounter family they dislike.

* CoolOldLady: Beloved by both team and viewers. Also lived an eventful life before being caught by Derek, as she mentions previously being owned by Ringo Starr.

* {{Expy}}: Is a direct reference to Sasha Baron Cohen's [[{{Film/Borat}}]] character.

* OutOfFocus: Arguably the worst case of the entire cast, as she easily gets the least amount of screentime and is only used in one or two battles, largely on account of Spinda not being a particularly useful Pokémon. It gets to a point where Derek and the rest of the team {{Lampshade}} as much.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:Gets among the least screentime in the cast, and is the second team member to die.]]

* {{Jerkass}}: He's not a particularly nice trainer.

* FlatCharacter: Even in comparison to the other minor character, May never really gets much of an established personality.

* BigBrotherWorship: Seems to have nothing but respect for Derek, in spite of the frequent bullying on his end.

* TheLoad: {{InUniverse}} example; Derek spends a majority of episode #1 criticizing her pacifism and not wanting to fight. By the end of the episode though, after evolving and taking down Roxanne, he ultimately takes it back.

* ParentalFavortism: Acts as Norman's favorite son, leaving Derek feeling replaced and annoyed by Wally's presence.

* HateSink: Fairly easily the most unlikeable character the party encounters throughout their journeys in Hoenn, being Derek's abusive father who refuses to pay his alimony checks.

* TeamDad: Outside of leading the team in battle, he also leads by example...Which sort of explains why his team is [[NotSoAboveItAll such a mess half the time]].

* FamilyExtermination: PlayedForLaughs; Derek and Tracy kill Gerber and Sara's families soon after catching them. They're understandably [[EveryoneHasStandards horrified]].

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Gets picked on fairly regularly by her teammates, especially Gerber, early on in the journey. Following her evolution into Azumarill and her proving herself in several fights, however, they largely grow out of it.

* ButtMonkey: Compared to everyone else, Gerber just can't seem to catch a break. Whether it be witnessing Derek kill his family after getting caught, almost getting killed by a Shroomish, Derek being more than willing to trade him away, [[spoiler:and getting killed by May after an unlucky encounter with her Grovyle. Even after getting reincarnated into an Oddish, he ''still'' can't escape the mockery, as he's quickly pegged as useless due to being little more than a ''weed''.]]

A Lotad.

* TextileWorkIsFeminine: Never seen without a pair of knitting needles and some twine, at least until she evolves into Lombre. While not in battle, she's usually crocheting.

TheProtagonist of the story; soon after moving to Littleroot Town, he sets out on a Pokémon journey, in the process encountering and capturing some rather strange Pokémon. Regularly acts as the TheLeader and OnlySaneMan for the series, while just as often [[NotSoAboveItAll engaging in the same antics as his team]].

* DeathIsCheap: A rule is implemented early on that states that should more than three Pokémon be dead after completing four gyms, one of them will get resurrected, allowing up to two potential ressurections. [[spoiler:This ultimately saves Gerber, who is resurrected following the team defeating Juan.]]

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:By the end of the series, Tracey, Pastey, CHATFORM, Red, Chrissy, Collin, Forrest, and Mikey are all dead.]]

[[folder:In General]]
* AuthorAvatar: Each of them represent a different person in Salty's circle of friends, while CHATFORM represents Twitch chat as a whole.
* DwindlingParty: [[spoiler:By the end of the series, Tracey, Pastey, CHATFORM, Red, Chrissy, Collin, Forrest, and Mikey are all dead. Gerber died not long after Pastey, but was resurrected following the defeat of Juan.]]
* LateCharacterSyndrome: Gabi and CHATFORM aren't recruited until episode #4, and Jae isn't recruited until the final episode; while Gabi is able to quickly find a place on the team, CHATFORM and Jae are very far behind and lack much of the experience and moves that their team members have, leaving them largely inadequate for the late game.
