History Manga / PokemonDiamondAndPearlAdventure

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Several Neo Team Galactic Agents try a SuicideAttack by setting up a bomb in a stadium...''in the middle of a Pokémon League Tournament''. Cue Koya, Jun, Mitsumi and two trainers using Metagross, Mime Jr., Espeon, Gallade and Medicham to surround the bomb in Light Screen to prevent it from going off and some utterly humiliated Galactic Agents who are now going to jail.

* IdiotHero: Hareta, being the main character of a Coro Coro serial mang, is this, full stop. When he beats Roark and gets his first badge, he tries to ''eat it''. On the other hand, it does fuel his {{Determinator}} status, as he's apparently too dumb to realize when he may be in over his head.

* SuicideAttack: Several Neo Team Galactic members plant a bomb in the middle of Stadium when a Pokémon championship is going on. Alas they seemingly forgot they were in the middle of a '''Pokémon championship''', and the trainers find the bomb and surround it with Light Screen.

* VileVillainLaughableLackey: Team Plasma's boss Cyrus is a KnightTemplar OmnicidalManiac. The Galactic executives -- Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars -- are intimidating but this ability does not extend to grunts. B-2 is a near literal ButtMonkey who is constantly getting attacked in the butt and isn't a real threat. Subverted with some other Galactic grunts though [[spoiler:when they try to bomb a tournament]].

* CoversAlwaysLie: Volume 6 features Origin Form Giratina on the cover, the volume is about [[spoiler: Hareta fighting in a tournament. Giratina is only mentioned once in the last panel of the book]].

* NoNameGiven: A recurring Galactic Grunt with a swollen ass is known for most of the series simply as "[[TheTropeWithoutATitle That guy with the butt]]". In volume 7 he states that as a grunt he has no name and that [[YouAreNumberSix he is known as K-2]]. Also a PunnyName in Japanese due to it sounding incredibly similar to "ketsu", the Japanese word for "butt". Of course, in the English translation, he explains that he is named B-2, with Hareta cheerfully informing him that it "sounds kinda like 'butt'". Er... nice try, but no cigar there.

* RatedMForManly: Byron. Just try to read the part where he takes Hareta as a student and not get "I'll Make A Man Out Of You" stuck in your head. I dare you.

* EverythingIsBetterWithPenguins: Hareta's Piplup.

* BigEater: Kaisei. Hareta apparently inherited this trait from him.
* BishieSparkle: Roark gets this at one point, actually.

* ButtMonkey: B-2, quite literally.

* [[TrailersAlwaysSpoil Covers Always Spoil]]: One of the covers prominently features Mitsumi [[spoiler:in Galactic garb.]] It may be somewhat a case of ItWasHisSled with the fandom, but it can be a spoiler to people if you haven't read enough of the manga

* EvilOldFolks: Charon, who's probably pushing 70.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: Hareta.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.
* GodhoodSeeker: Cyrus' goal, like in the games.
** Mitsumi [[spoiler:attempting suicide]] is a bit surprising, even for {{Shonen|demographic}}.

** Hareta inviting B-2 to join the heroes for lunch before invading the Galactic base.

** And in volume 6, the Japanese character Handsome has had his name translated as "Hansom", rather than being consistent with the games and anime which call him "Looker". And as of volume 7 it is back to being Looker with the rationale that Looker is his code name. So does that mean that his real name is Hansom?

* InspectorJavert: Koya.

* MadScientist: Charon
* MiddleManagementMook: B-2.

* NatureHero: Hareta.

* OmnicidalManiac: Cyrus

* SpoilerCover: One of the volumes featured a prominent spoiler on one of the covers, the volume after it was revealed. It clearly showed [[spoiler:Mitsumi]] as a Team Galactic member so to anyone who saw that cover early... You're spoilered.
* TheStarscream: Charon.

* TenderTears: Hareta after Cyrus's rant in volume 5.

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior:
** Mitsumi.
** Implied with Cyrus as well, although we don't see it, considering there's a big chance he was around fifteen when he recruited Mitsumi.
** And don't forget Koya! Just because he's on the side of good doesn't make him not a screwed up little freak.

* {{Tykebomb}}: [[spoiler:Mitsumi was one.]]
** [[spoiler:DefusingTheTykebomb: Professor Rowan defuses Mitsumi.]]
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Cyrus and by extension, Team Galactic.

* WeCanRuleTogether: Comes after Cyrus has spoken to Hareta for less than five minutes.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Cyrus.
* WildChild: Hareta
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Charon

* ActionGirl: Mitsumi again.

* MightyGlacier: UpToEleven with Regigigas thanks to its Slow Start Ability. When it first awakens, it just slowly moves forward with almost creaking motions, leaving everyone confused...and then it slowly lifts its arm, cocks it back, and then whips it forward in a blur and one-shots all three of the lesser Regis that awoke it. Later still, it takes a point-blank Close Combat from Lucario that previously defeated one of said Regis without flinching and proceeded to body-slam him into the floor.

-->''"Once I too was a trainer who had fun during my battles... So you see having fun in battle is foolhardy. A perfect win, that is a Pokémon Trainer's duty."''

* TrainingFromHell

* VillainousDemotivator:
** Cyrus's reaction to Saturn's loss to Hareta is to [[spoiler:fire Saturn on the spot]]. Never mind that Saturn had just successfully caught Azelf.
*** He ''does'' forgive Saturn a few pages later, surprisingly enough, but... still harsh.

** Dawn-as-a-NPC lives with her scientist father and younger sibling nearby Twinleaf. In this manga, Mitsumi is an orphan who was [[spoiler:raised by Cyrus in Team Galactic.]] She later ran away and became Rowan's assistant.
* AscendedExtra: Dawn, or in this universe, her counterpart Mitsumi. See AdaptationalBadass for details.
* ActionGirl: Mitsumi again.

* LaterInstallmentWeirdness: Byron compares his training of his son Roark to lions throwing their cubs off cliffs, even though most incarnations of the franchise avoid making reference to real animals existing in the setting.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** Hareta hitting the cameraman in the junk with his Poké Ball, which Piplup then proceeds to emerge from--stuck in the poor guy's crotch.
** A flashback to a half-sleeping Hareta peeing on Mitsumi's travel bag.
** Neo Team Galactic's attempted suicide bombing of the league tournament.
** The constant abuse of B-2's butt, but especially an infamous shot from the final volume where a Stunky is sniffing it with its face between the cheeks.
** Flint's entrance at the tournament sees him accompanied by three shapely women (and an indifferent driver).
** After the contest in volume 2, Hareta is all too eager to get out of his suit and takes it off in front of Jun and Mitsumi...and everyone else in the lobby. He then proceeds to run around naked while Mitsumi yells that he needs to put clothes on.
** Did they seriously just compare Purugly's tail to a bra? "Lifts and separates"?

* GodhoodSeeker: Cyrus' goal, like in the games.
