* ItsAllAboutMe: Charmander, as seen in ''Starters - Season One - Galar Pokédex Edition''. He claims the series was unsuccessful because the main characterd were "very unpopular Pokémon", then he proceeds to refer to himself with emphasis.

%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Tepig.

** Bulbasaur possibly comes off as one due to [[NervousWreck his personality]] and his status as a {{Woobie}} in the series.

* BadassAdorable: Turtwig.

* TheStoic: Out of the main three, Cyndaquil is usually the one to be the least affected whenever something crazy happens in Monotone Town. [[spoiler: It's briefly {{Subverted}} in ''Out In The Reign'', after Tepig "[[DisneyDeath dies]]".]]

** Hell, just ''all'' of the pre-evolved Starter Pokémon can count as one, depending on the viewer!

* EarlyBirdCameo: Totodile, who doesn't have a speaking role until ''Wild Oranberries'', is briefly seen as one of the Pokémon on the bus at the beginning of ''Rare Candy''.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Charmander, as seen in ''Starters - Season One - Galar Pokédex Edition''.
-->'''Charmander:''' ...with the only Pokémon that matter. Like Charmander! ''Me!''

* WithFriendsLikeThese: PlayedForLaughs. As shown in a few scenes in "Out In The Reign", Bulbasaur and Cyndaquil seem to be best friends. However, in the DenserAndWackier "[[LooseCanon episode]]" ''[[https://youtu.be/whu893sH95w?si=NBw6wCOr6NQZKM_u Dr. Sylveon Discord Gaming]]'', after Fennekin dies in-game while the gang are playing ''VideoGame/AmongUs'', Cyndaquil suddenly requests everyone to vote out Bulbasaur because "he's acting like a noob." Bulbasaur tries to prove that he didn't do anything, but it results in him getting laughed at by Tepig. It cuts to Sylveon [[TranquilFury angrily yet silently]] watching Bulbasaur's in-game avatar get ejected as the Seed Pokémon can only helplessly question why they did it, all the while Cyndaquil just laughs in response.

** There's Chespin, who not only looks appealing, but is also one of the most friendliest and optimistic characters in the show. [[spoiler: Well, up until the events of ''Rare Candy'', that is.]]

* VocalEvolution: Happens to Cyndaquil in ''Ditto Disaster'' due to the old voice actor moving away.

** He later does it ''again'' in ''Dr. Sylveon Discord Gaming'', though it's PlayedForLaughs.

* {{Troll}}: Cyndaquil. {{Downplayed}}, as it's only briefly told in ''Ditto Disaster'', where he says he "can't help his trolling instincts". This is PlayedStraight in ''Dr. Sylveon Discord Gaming'', where Cyndaquil blatantly asks "You guys ready to do some trolling?" and later on [[WithFriendsLimeThese gets his own best friend, Bulbasaur, removed from the game]] for no reason other than "he's acting like a noob."

* DenserAndWackier: Most of the series is rather dark. However, ''Dr. Sylveon Discord Gaming'' involves... well, Dr. Sylveon and the gang playing ''VideoGame/AmongUs'', with a few references to previous events happening in the show such as [[spoiler: Chespin being ForcedToWatch Mudkip get killed by Dr. Sylveon.]]

-->'''Bulbasaur:''' I-- I didn't- I-I didn't- ''[[DramaticStutter I didn't-!]]'' I didn't do anything though!

-->'''Bulbasaur:''' Nooo! Why would you do that?!
-->'''Cyndaquil:''' ''(laughing)''

* SuddenlyShouting: Professor Sylveon in ''Rare Candy.''

* GrandFinale: ''Rare Candy'' was originally intended to be this. The description and pinned comment of ''Rare Candy: Vol. 1'' explicitly state that the episode is the finale of the Starters series. It's {{Subverted}} by the release of ''Wild Oranberries'', but now the current fate of the series is unknown, as there hasn't been a new canonical episode since '''''2019.'''''

* NaiveEverygirl: In a GenderFlipped variant, Chespin. He is extremely outgoing, optimistic, and friendly, and stays this way [[spoiler: even after he got accidentally burned by Fennekin. Unfortunately, all of that is Subverted around ''Rare Candy''...]]
