| 11 | -> ''"You either die a winner or die a loser, it's your choice."'' |
| 12 | |
| 13 | 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, while just as often [[NotSoAboveItAll engaging in the same antics as his team]]. |
| 14 | ---- |
| 15 | * AllMenArePerverts: Makes some rather suggestive comments regarding Porygon or gym leaders, wants to steal the clothes of and kiss trainers he beats, and moans suggestively at a gif of a pufferfish moaning. |
| 16 | * ArchnemesisDad: Has no positive interactions with his father throughout the series. |
| 17 | * BadBoss: Besides sending his team out in battles, he doesn't take particularly good care of them, acknowledging he'd have zero issue trading them away and doesn't feed them often either. |
| 18 | * BigBrotherBully: Does ''not'' get along with his younger step-brother, Wally. |
| 19 | * BornUnlucky: Season 2's randomized encounters are not kind to him and his team, between having to pick between three starters that ''can't attack'', getting LowTierLetdown Pokemon like Kriketune or ''another'' Illumise, and having several actually good encounters be far worse than others on the same route, like getting a Lampent in the same area where ''Dragonite and Togekiss'' were. |
| 20 | --> '''Mikeydeez*''': Derek, what is up with your luck!? You ''suck''! |
| 21 | * ButtMonkey: Just because he's TheLeader or TheProtagonist doesn't mean he's immune to some verbal backlash from his Pokemon. |
| 22 | * ChekhovsGun: Derek's embarrassing fight with Steven was not shown in Season 1. It was alluded to throughout Season 2, until he finally reveals what happened after his fight with the Elite Four [[spoiler: and killing Chatquaza]] in the leadup to Unova's Elite Four. |
| 23 | * ClassicalAntiHero: A morally lacking, aggressive trainer who doesn't treat his team with any respect and regularly kills wild Pokémon to train up his team who just happens to be the main character. |
| 24 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: For his [[ClassicalAntiHero many, many faults]], he's a fairly decent trainer. |
| 25 | * EveryoneHasStandards: |
| 26 | ** Genuinely is horrified to learn that Ken thinks Team Rocket are good guys. |
| 27 | ** Finds himself disturbed at the implications surrounding Wattson and his gym. |
| 28 | --> '''Derek:''' ''"Yo, this old man just gave me his phone number unprompted. I'm gonna walk away now."'' |
| 29 | ** Is pretty disturbed when he learns Oni has been teaching Chrissy some less than appropriate information through the internet. |
| 30 | --> '''Derek:''' ''"Oni, dude...The fuck?"'' |
| 31 | ** Is uncomfortable when Team Aqua's Archie strips for him after their battle. |
| 32 | * FatalFlaw: His hubris. Again and again in the series, Derek’s pride gets the best of him and has disastrous consequences for him and his friends. |
| 33 | --> '''Derek:''' ''”I got a bit…too cocky.”'' |
| 34 | * HeroicComedicSociopath: |
| 35 | ** Has absolutely no issue killing Pokémon to help his team level up, or with murdering their families in front of them for that matter! |
| 36 | ** Also has zero issue trading his Pokémon away, in spite of ''knowing'' they're sentient. |
| 37 | * HiddenDepths: Is able to do an oddly impressive UsefulNotes/BarackObama impression. |
| 38 | * ISeeDeadPeople: The ghosts on his team aside, [[spoiler:in Season 2, Derek begins to hear the voices of Kenny and Auntie Sandslash when travelling around the Celestial Tower, and considering he hears them a little more afterwards in Stream 4 after Derek leaves the tower in fear, it may be permanent.]] |
| 39 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's not a particularly nice trainer, especially to his team, but he occasionally joins in on their antics and has moments of caring about them when things get serious. |
| 40 | * TheLeader: Acts as the team's trainer, being in charge of where they go, when they train, who they fight, etc. |
| 41 | * RichSiblingPoorSibling: The poor sibling to Wally's rich, having to regularly pester Norman for alimony. |
| 42 | * SpeaksFluentAnimal: Is able to understand and have legitimate conversations with his Pokémon. Since no one else really talks to them, it is implied Derek is the only one who can understand them while the rest of the world just hears AnimalTalk. |
| 43 | * TheProtagonist: The main character of the series, on account of being the team's Pokémon trainer. |
| 44 | * TeamDad: Outside of leading the team in battle, he also leads by example...Which sort of explains why his team is [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits such a mess half the time]]. |
| 45 | * TheUnfavorite: Norman clearly prefers his new son, Wally, over Derek. |
| 46 | * WouldHurtAChild: {{Downplayed}} as it's technically his Pokémon fighting the child's Pokémon, but he still holds nothing back in battle and shows little if any remorse. |
| 47 | [[/folder]] |
| 48 | [[folder:Peppy]] |
| 49 | !!!Played by: Saltydkdan |
| 50 | TheProtagonist of Friendlocke Violet. A trainer from Paldea. |
| 51 | ---- |
| 52 | * ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: In the first two Friendlocke seasons, Derek was the same character in both of them, and looked like Salty’s avatar in art and season 2. Peppy was created by Salty asking his fans to vote on what the character should look like and doesn’t look like his avatar. |
| 53 | * OpenFlyGag: {{Subverted|Trope}}. When told his fly's been open, Peppy clarifies he has it down intentionally to "assert dominance". |
| 54 | * PlayfulCatSmile: Peppy's mouth is slightly in the shape of one, much to Derek's annoyance. |
| 55 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Any time Peppy finds a vending machine, he runs up to it and goes silent, just ordering nothing but lemonades while just muttering: |
| 56 | --> [[MadnessMantra lemonade. lemonade. lemonade. lemonade]]. |
| 57 | * WorldOfTechnicolorHair: Peppy has green hair. |

| 66 | -> '''Derek:''' ''"We have a very interesting and colorful cast of characters."'' |
| 67 | |
| 68 | A group of Pokémon recruited by Derek to take on the Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and Champions of various regions. |
| 69 | ---- |
| 70 | * ActorAllusion: Official art depicts them as their species, with a few additional features to help them stand out. |
| 71 | * AuthorAvatar: Each of them represent a different person in Salty's circle of friends, while CHATFORM/CHURMY represents Twitch chat as a whole. |
| 72 | * BadassCrew: While most of them don't take their situation seriously and some of them [[TheTeamNormal aren't even that great in a fight]], Derek's Pokémon are not to taken lightly. They can manage to take down Pokémon League trainers, criminal organizations, and even legendary beasts! |
| 73 | * BerserkButton: [[spoiler: Absolutely no one was happy in character with Derek murdering Collin, with several of his team threatening to kill him or do other bodily harm over it]] |
| 74 | * ButtMonkey: Even ''outside'' of regularly getting the crap kicked out of them in Pokémon battles, the team is regularly picked on by not just Derek, but each other! The only exception ends up being Monsters, who basically never deals with any sort of real struggle throughout the series. |
| 75 | * DeadpanSnarker: Just about all of them are quite blunt and sarcastic to some degree. |
| 76 | * 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 reincarnated into a new Pokémon, allowing up to two potential ressurections. [[spoiler:This ultimately saves Gerber, who is resurrected following the team defeating Juan.]] |
| 77 | * DisposingOfABody: Whenever a team member falls in combat, their body is brought back to the Pokémon center in order to be properly "released". |
| 78 | * DwindlingParty: As the adventure goes on in each region, some Pokémon fall along the way. |
| 79 | ** Season One has a grand total of 19 Pokémon on the team. [[spoiler:After the deaths of Tracey, Pastey, Gerber (temporarily), CHATFORM, Red, Jae, Chrissy, Collin, Forrest, and Mikey, only 10 remained.]] |
| 80 | ** Season Two goes even further, taking the party member count go from [[spoiler:24 to 6.]] |
| 81 | ** Season Three eases up a bit on the losses, but the party is reduced from [[spoiler:21 to 9]]. |
| 82 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Gerber, Pastey, Red, and Mikey all made several appearances on the channel prior to the series. |
| 83 | * FamilyExtermination: PlayedForLaughs; Derek and Tracey kill Gerber and Sara's families soon after catching them. They're understandably [[EveryoneHasStandards horrified]], at least until they encounter family they dislike. |
| 84 | * LateCharacterSyndrome: In Season 1, 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. Generally Averted with the following two seasons, as the late-joining friends all end up serving their teams well. |
| 85 | * RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Derek put together a Champion-level team consisting of some random dogs, a mushroom with long legs, a cowboy, Borat, a robot, Jigsaw, and many other bizarre personalities. |
| 86 | ** BunnyEarsLawyer: Key word from above: Champion-level. Bizarre as they may be, they have beaten the Gym Challenge for two different regions. Along with taking down villainous organizations! |
| 87 | * SameCharacterButDifferent: Following season #1, the cast returns in various forms in the following season...As completely different characters that just ''share'' the same name. This is [[{{Lampshade}} Lampshaded]] a handful of times, but for the most part is largely ignored. |
| 88 | * SeinfeldianConversation: While training, the team regularly has conversations completely unrelated to the situation, such as which Pokémon they'd have preferred to be, or how hummingbirds are able to sleep. |
| 89 | * SquadNickname: The Unova group uses the team name "Team White Boys". |
| 90 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Fast food, namely UsefulNotes/McDonalds and Taco Bell. |
| 91 | ** Berries. |
| 92 | * WillfullyWeak: Several times throughout the playthrough, some of the party members will outright refuse to evolve, either out of spite for Derek, wanting to challenge themselves, or general laziness. |
| 93 | ** [[spoiler:This actually comes back to bite some of them, being the primary reason for both Pastey and Jae dying.]] |

| 106 | ---- |
| 107 | !!!'''General Tropes:''' |
| 108 | * TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Tracey was intending on making it so that her Season 2 persona was the same as her Season 1 persona. Though this idea was only properly revealed after the lore ended, if she had established it earlier, she would have been the only person participating in a Friendlocke (besides Derek of course) to have one of their characters return for another season instead of using a new one.]] |
| 109 | !!!'''Season #1 Tropes:''' |
| 110 | * AscendedExtra: Goes from Derek's editor in his usual videos to one of the main characters in the series. |

| 112 | --> '''Tracey:''' Hello! I'm in 3D now. |
| 113 | * DecoyProtagonist: Becomes Derek's first Pokémon, and is a major powerhouse throughout the first half of the game, arguably being the team's strongest member. [[spoiler:She's also the team's first casualty.]] |
| 114 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: After a near-death experience at the hands of a Makuhita, it's brought up how nobody wants Tracey to be the first death. [[spoiler:Then comes the end of episode #3...]] |
| 115 | * GenkiGirl: Has a lot of energy compared to the other girls in the cast, while also supplying plenty of optimism. |

| 117 | * IconicItem: Her gun. |
| 118 | * LoveAcrossBattlelines: Tracey ultimately falls in love with both Camerupt and Torkoal over the course of the team's battle with Flannery. [[spoiler:Torkoal uses this to her advantage and murders Tracey moments after she confessed her love.]] |

| 120 | * MessyHair: Has curly, messy brunette hair. |
| 121 | * NervousWreck: Is a bit of a mess when she first gets recruited to the party, stumbling over her words and having a hard time picking attacks to use. She gets better about it fairly quickly though. |
| 122 | * PhoneaholicTeenager: {{Downplayed}} as her age is unknown, but she's the only member of the team to have a cell phone, and is usually on it when out of battles. |
| 123 | * SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Despite her prominence in the first half of the series, she dies following a battle with Flannery, signaling that the journey is about to get a lot harder for the rest of the team.]] |
| 124 | * StarterMon: Acts as Salty's starter during his Hoenn journey. |
| 125 | !!!'''Season #2 Tropes:''' |
| 126 | * CourtJester: Introduced as a traveling jester. |
| 127 | * {{Fauxshadowing}}: [[spoiler:According to Tracey herself, she was intending on revealing that her Season 2 character was the same as her Season 1 character, but the reveal ended up happening after the lore finished. This was foreshadowed in Stream 4, where Tracey notes Brady (an Illumise, a Pokémon part of the team in Season 1) being familiar, as well as remembering Collin’s name from Season 1.]] |
| 128 | * NonIronicClown: Tracey shows no malice towards the group or any unsettling undertones. She's just a happy clown. |

| 142 | !!!'''General Tropes:''' |
| 143 | * BrokenWinLossStreak: [[spoiler:Season 3 marked the first time he survived a season the entire way through, having died in the previous two season despite being reincarnated once.]] |
| 144 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Regularly appeared in Salty's videos prior to the series. |
| 145 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: In season 2, the moment the group catches him, they all decide to put him in his own box away from the others. [[BleepDammit The B1TCH Box.]]. In season 3, he became this after [[spoiler: [[TooDumbToLive starting a chain of events that lead to the deaths of four party members in Ryme's gym]].]] |
| 146 | !!!'''Season #1 Tropes:''' |
| 147 | * AllMenArePerverts: Between gyms, Gerber apparently made an appointment for, "Big Mommy Rental Service", a fact he quickly attempts to cover up to poor results. |
| 148 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:After his death as a Mightyena, Gerber gets reincarnated as an Oddish that later evolved into a Vileplume.]] |
| 149 | * TheChewToy: 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''.]] |
| 150 | * ColorBlindConfusion: As a result of being...Well, a dog. |
| 151 | * HartmanHips: A rare male version, as he's apparently got a pretty fat ass...At least, for a dog that is. |
| 152 | * InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Always wanted to enter a Pokémon contest. [[spoiler:The team enters one in his honor following his death.]] |
| 153 | * JokeOfTheButt: After Salty comments that Poochyena's tail in their spritework made them look like they had a fat ass, Gerber becomes the target of butt jokes for the entire first season. |
| 154 | * MessyHair: Has messy black hair. |
| 155 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Evolved offscreen into a Mightyena in the series-proper. |
| 156 | * SitcomArchNemesis: With Mal, regularly exchanging insults back and forth with each other. |
| 157 | * SuckOutThePoison: After he gets poisoned, the chat makes a comment about sucking the poison out of his ass. [[CrossesTheLineTwice Derek says for him to bend over]]. |
| 158 | * VictoryByEndurance: [[spoiler:{{Inverted}}; despite Gerber and Derek's best efforts, he's unable to handle May's constant attacks, eventually causing Gerber's body to give out.]] |
| 159 | !!!'''Season #2 Tropes:''' |
| 160 | * ChildhoodFriends: With Mal and Mikey. |

| 162 | * DidTheyOrDidntThey: Got together with Joe. [[TakeOurWordForIt At some point...]]. |
| 163 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: While he has no problem using Pokemon deaths for his Youtube videos, he still thinks it is not as bad as how intense Coach Cos is in battle. |
| 164 | * MaliciousMisnaming: Couldn't bother to say Sauerkraut's name correctly, calling them "Sushi" or "Sashimi". |
| 165 | * OfficialCouple: With Sara. |
| 166 | * ShipperOnDeck: In the second to last stream, Gerber pulls Derek aside to tell him that he thinks N likes him and encourages Derek to ask the other trainer out. However, he immediately admits that he just wants it as content for his channel. |
| 167 | -->'''Derek:''' ''”Are we really doing a yaoi subplot last minute?”'' |
| 168 | -->'''Gerber:''' ''”You think I’d go that low? Yes, of course I would, it’s for a video.”'' |

| 170 | ** Also with Jay, as the two constantly bicker and even threaten each other's lives. [[spoiler:Jay even spends his last moments sarcastically thanking Gerber for his death.]] |
| 171 | * TokenEvilTeammate: Fully admitted to using [[spoiler:putting a Go-Pro on Sauerkraut and Coach Cos before they died and used the footage for a Youtube video.]] |
| 172 | !!!'''Season #3 Tropes:''' |
| 173 | * AndThisIsFor: [[spoiler: When he finally kills [[HeroKiller Nemona's Skeledirge]] for good, thus avenging Cookie, Mall Bingo and Christene's, he specifically states that it was in the name of Luke.]] |
| 174 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: He kills Jayyweed for nothing more than a laugh, but then immediately realises that it didn't occur to either of them that Jayyweed could've been useful for getting through Ryme's gym. [[GoneHorriblyWrong This then snowballs into a magnitude of issues for the team.]]]] |
| 175 | * LethalChef: Various artwork of the season features him trying (and failing) to cook as a LiteralMetaphor of [[spoiler:his and Jayyweed "cooking" up a joke that gets ''three of their teammates'' killed]]. |
| 176 | * TeamKiller: [[spoiler: He ends up directly dealing the final blow to Jayyweed as a result of a back and forth of the two damaging each other during Ryme's gym battle. [[ItAmusedMe This was apparently for a bit.]]]] |
| 177 | * TurnToReligion: Converted to Christianity (in-universe) between Streams #6 and #7 as a result of [[spoiler: the gym battle against Ryme]]. His conversion would not last long, as [[spoiler:the death of Luke]] would cause him to [[EvilStoleMyFaith snap back to Atheism]]. |
| 178 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Became this in Stream 6 after [[spoiler:a bit he planned with Jayyweed for Ryme's Gym battle ended up backfiring, resulting in the death of the latter as well as [=GrAce=], Hannah, and Blorpoido]]. |

| 197 | * IconicItem: Her knitting tools. |
| 198 | * TheLoad: An [[{{InUniverse}} In-Universe]] 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. |
| 199 | * TheNoisyStraw: When absorbing HP from her enemies, she tends to make a loud slurping sound. |
| 200 | * [[NonActionGuy Non-Action Gal]]: Prefers staying out of combat, and despite being one of the longest-lasting party members, she ends up not getting used particularly often. |
| 201 | * PiggybackCute: She later also starts carrying Claire around, though she doesn't seem to mind this as much. |
| 202 | * PottyFailure: As a result of a conversation with Derek about having not trained her. |

| 216 | ** Her feelings are ultimately confirmed once Derek informs her of [[spoiler: Claire's death]], with her outright saying she loved her, but she [[spoiler:never got a chance to tell her that she did]]. |
| 217 | * ShrinkingViolet: Much more quiet and timid than the rest of the party. |
| 218 | * StrongerThanTheyLook: Despite her soft tone of voice, Sara proves she's pretty decent in battle. |

| 221 | * SapientEatSapient: Sara heavily considers eating fellow team members, both out of hunger and annoyance. |
| 222 | * TeamMom: Has adopted both Cookie and Puppie as her children, though most of her parenting consists of buying them iPads to watch sensory videos on. |

| 235 | ---- |
| 236 | !!!'''General Tropes:''' |
| 237 | * ActorAllusion: Her being an OfficialCouple with Collin seems to stem from their relationship in real life. |
| 238 | * OfficialCouple: In every season where she survives long enough to meet him, she ends up becoming this with Collin. |
| 239 | !!!'''Season #1 Tropes:''' |
| 240 | * AlternateSelf: Every other wild Marill is just one of her time travel horcruxes. |
| 241 | * BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:Likely hatched her and Collin's egg post-series.]] |
| 242 | * BalloonBelly: Enough of one that while she's a Marill, she wanted to use it as a Drum. {{Inverted}} following her evolving into Azumarill. |
| 243 | * EatDirtCheap: Ate dirt at one point thanks to Derek not feeding the team. |
| 244 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Gets picked on fairly regularly by her teammates, especially Gerber, early on in the journey. It calms down following her evolution into Azumarill and her proving herself in several fights. |
| 245 | * OddCouple: with Collin, she's a lot more peppy then the depressed illumise though they both have quite a m ean streak at times. |
| 246 | * OfficialCouple: With Collin. |
| 247 | * SitcomArchNemesis: With Gerber, regularly exchanging insults back and forth with each other. |
| 248 | * SomeoneToRememberHimBy: [[spoiler: Ultimately had an egg as a result of her and Collin's time at the daycare, something that is only discovered ''after'' his death.]] |
| 249 | -->'''Mal:''' [[spoiler:I never got to tell him I had an egg!]] |
| 250 | * TinyGuyHugeGirl: The huge girl to Collin's tiny guy. |
| 251 | * TimeyWimeyBall: Mentioned a few times to be a time traveler leaving meany Horcruxes around but this is never really all that explained or elaborated on. |
| 252 | * WackySoundEffect: Makes the sound a basketball makes if she hits the ground, and squeezing her tail causes it to squeak like a dog toy or like a clown honk. |
| 253 | !!!'''Season #2 Tropes:''' |
| 254 | * ActionMom: A loving mom that cares about her family (both genetic and team families) and one of Derek's best Pokémon. |
| 255 | * BagOfHolding: Carries around a purse that seems to hold snacks for the team, several bricks, a knife, a machete, and many other items. |
| 256 | * ChildhoodFriends: With Gerber and Mikey. |
| 257 | * {{Cosplay}}: Enjoys cosplaying at [[FanConvention conventions like Comiccon.]] |
| 258 | * ADogNamedDog: She’s a rabbit whose last name is Bunny. |
| 259 | * FemmeFatale: She at one point describes herself as both this and a MILF. |
| 260 | * FunWithAcronyms: Literally. MILF becomes, "Mother, I Love Fun." |
| 261 | * InterspeciesAdoption: PlayedForLaughs; It's implied Mal adopted Jay at some point in the journey. |
| 262 | * NoodleIncident: She states that a donation message about someone meeting their girlfriend by [[GroinAttack by them roleplaying hitting Ghetsis in the dick with pokeballs when they were 12]] reminds her of how she met her husband. What this means is never elaborated on. |
| 263 | * ThePowerOfFriendship: Mal's move Return does more damage based on her level of happiness with Derek. And it usually does enough damage to [[MegatonPunch take anything in its way down in one hit.]] |
| 264 | * TeamMom: Quickly adopts the persona on the team, acting as a loving mother-like figure for the party and treating her teammates like her own children. |
| 265 | !!!'''Season #3 Tropes:''' |
| 266 | * ShipTease: IMMEDIATELY becomes smitten with Grunpilo [[LoveAtFirstSight upon laying her eyes on him]]. She continues to flirt with him while he's in the party with her. |

| 280 | ---- |
| 281 | !!!'''General Tropes''' |
| 282 | * DeadpanSnarker: Usually when commenting on battles, she quickly becomes one of the most snarky members of an already ''very'' sarcastic cast. |
| 283 | ** Season 2 goes more into the ''deadpan'' part, as most of her delivery is serious and direct. |
| 284 | * ThoseTwoGirls: Her and Sara. |
| 285 | ** Downplayed in Season 2, as the two are never in the same place at the same time. |
| 286 | !!!'''Season #1 Tropes''' |
| 287 | * EatDirtCheap: Likes eating dirt and soil as a result of her species. |
| 288 | * NiceGirl: Easily one of the most consistently friendly, least aggressive party members on the team. |
| 289 | * SurvivorGuilt: {{Lampshades}} how she is always left in the box during character deaths. |
| 290 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Dirt. |
| 291 | !!!'''Season #2 Tropes:''' |
| 292 | * AloofAlly: Only acknowledges Derek and seems to care little about the other members of the team. |
| 293 | * BerserkButton: After Stream 2, Fortnite and Among Us memes will result in agitated groans from Claire. |
| 294 | * DesecratingTheDead: [[spoiler:Immediately after her death, Joe and Derek put a Power Belt on her.]] |
| 295 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: {{Inverted}}. Claire states that she does not see her allies as friends, but Jay firmly states the party sees her as one. |
| 296 | * TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:Serves as one for Sara following her death.]] |
| 297 | * MeanCharacterNiceActor: Claire is much nicer than her aloof Manectric character, to the point where she has to apologize for the things her character says. |
| 298 | * OnlySaneMan: While her colleagues go on and on about {{VideoGame/Among Us}} or {{VideoGame/Fortnite}}, she instead stresses how they should continue the plot. |
| 299 | * TookALevelInKindness: {{Downplayed}}. After the first stream, her cold attitude is warmed a little, as she actually thanks Derek once he gives her a berry, but she's still distant from everyone but Derek. She's also more active in conversation, but still treats everybody harshly, refusing to joke around like her friends. |
| 300 | !!!'''Season #3 Tropes:''' |
| 301 | * CraftedFromAnimals: Her hammer is made out of corpses, one of which may be [[spoiler:Mall Bingo.]] She won't give the bodies back. |
| 302 | * KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler: Dies in the middle of saying "goodbye" to her team.]] |
| 303 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: When asked for her name, she points out that naming pokemon is supposed to be the trainer's job, and never ends up giving her real name in-character. |
| 304 | * StereotypicalNerd: Suggested to be one by Joe and Gerbicycle 2. She responds by kicking Joe out of the party, making her the first friendlocke pokemon to switch out with a party member upon being caught. Later, she threatens to add Gerber to her hammer when he brings it up again. |
| 305 | * TheStoic: Very much so. |
| 306 | ** NotSoStoic: She does, however, show positive emotions when it comes to cute things, like plushies and the dancing Greavard at Ryme's gym. |
| 307 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:Is caught en route to Ryme's gym, and doesn't end up surviving past said gym]]. |

| 319 | ---- |
| 320 | !!!'''General Tropes:''' |
| 321 | * TheBigGuy: Was physically the largest and among the strongest members of Derek's season #1 team, though gradually loses the role to Mikey. |
| 322 | ** Ultimately takes the role back in season #2. While nowhere near as large, he's easily the most aggressive and hostile member of Derek's team and has to take on a far more offensive role in the early game due to Jay lacking in moves. |
| 323 | * BloodKnight: Gets a ''lot'' of joy out of the battles he's placed in. |
| 324 | ** [[spoiler:It gets to the point where when he learns that Derek completed Hoenn's Elite Four without him, in spite of him being planned as one of the fighters for it, he's left disappointed and sad at the result.]] |
| 325 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In-character, Joe has a different excuse every season for how he's getting information he's looking up online or getting from friends that aren't currently in the call. As a Lampent, it's lampshaded as his connection to the spirit world, while as a Smoliv, he's talking to MotherNature. |
| 326 | !!!'''Season #1 Tropes:''' |
| 327 | * BackFromTheDead: Gets resurrected as a Whismur after the Wurmple incident. |
| 328 | * BigFun: A jolly, if loud, member of the team, and ''easily'' the largest in terms of sheer size. |
| 329 | * CharacterDeath: When they realize he couldn't be a Wurmple, he's crushed to death beneath the substitute Sara had been knitting prior. He's BackFromTheDead not too long after, getting resurrected as a Whismur. |
| 330 | * EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: First introduced as a Wurmple, only for the party to discover they had broken the rules and he was caught on the same route as Claire. The next time we see him, he's now a Whismur. |
| 331 | * {{Gasshole}}: As a Whismur, with Derek's explanation being that whenever his butt popped up over his health, he was letting out a fart. Upon evolving into Loudred, however, [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext this evolved into becoming a walking Wi-Fi signal]]. |
| 332 | * IconicItem: His crown. |
| 333 | * MonsterRoommate: Used to be Derek's roommate. |
| 334 | * NearDeathExperience: Finds himself Shadow-Tagged ''and'' Destiny-Bonded in a fight against a Wobbuffet, which also has ''Counter''; the second he gets into the predicament, just about everyone on the team thinks he's screwed. He only gets out of the fight alive through a mixture of luck and the Destiny Bond expiring. |
| 335 | * SweetTooth: Prior to episode #3, he apparently ate a ''lot'' of 3 Musketeers chocolate bars, to a point where he physically ''looks'' hyped up on sugar. |
| 336 | !!!'''Season #2 Tropes:''' |
| 337 | * DeadPersonConversation: Is able to hear and commune with the Spirits of the Beyond, who tends to give him and the rest of the party helpful tips. |
| 338 | * DidTheyOrDidntThey: According to Gerber, yes. |
| 339 | * FriendlyGhost: Acts relatively amicable to the rest of the team, and just so happens to be a ghost. |
| 340 | * ISeeDeadPeople: Is able to clearly see other fallen Pokémon. |
| 341 | * NotAfraidToDie: Mainly because he has ''already died'' before in order to become a ghost in the first place. [[spoiler:By the time it happened, he seemed more angry than anything.]] |
| 342 | * OurGhostsAreDifferent: Despite technically being ''dead'', he can still feel pain. [[spoiler:He can also die as a ghost, in which he is considered as dead as the other fallen friends.]] |
| 343 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Due to his status as a lamp, you'd think he wouldn't be that strong. He goes on to prove otherwise ''multiple'' times, carrying Derek through the early game through sheer offense. It turns out later on he was also buffed up on levels due to holding a Lucky Egg. |
| 344 | * PhoneaholicTeenager: {{Subverted}}: Joe may be a ghost, but he is a ghost with a smartphone that he always keeps near him. |
| 345 | * {{Pyromaniac}}: Has no qualms igniting enemies, wild Pokémon, or even buildings with people inside them. |
| 346 | * Robosexual: Has a video on Onlyfans with Gerber. |
| 347 | * WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:While Derek and Jay mourn the deaths from the first Clay fight, Joe is the first one to call Derek out on his recklessness and actually ask him why he thought a smaller-than-usual team of underleveled Pokemon could stand a chance against [[ThatOneBoss an infamously difficult Gym leader]].]] |
| 348 | --> [[spoiler:'''Joe:''' I'm a ghost! I watched [[TotalPartyKill it]] happened! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis What. Was. The. Plan]]?!]] |
| 349 | !!!'''Season #3 Tropes:''' |
| 350 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: Joe sells olive oil for hundreds of dollars, but Paldea runs on a system of money similar to Yen where, assuming Joe is actually selling for a hundred Pokédollars a pop, they're not making a very big profit off of their scam. This is lampshaded by Derek, who says that most Paldeans are very boujee and Joe's practically handing their oil out for a few cents. |
| 351 | * EasySexChange: Joe transitions into a girl almost ''instantly'' upon evolving into a Dolliv. They then transition to non-binary upon evolving to an Arbolivia. |
| 352 | * InsistentTerminology: Inverted, as initially everybody refers to Joe's olive oil sales as a pyramid scheme before Joe explains that it's not a pyramid scheme because they're the only participant, and that it's just a normal scam. |
| 353 | * SnakeOilSalesman: Often attempts to sell their own olive oil for exuberant prices. |

| 369 | * FanBoy: Of [[Characters/PokemonVillainTeamRocket Team Rocket]], a fact that [[EveryoneHasStandards disturbs]] Derek greatly. |
| 370 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Type 3; Ken is one of the most consistently useful and versatile party members in the run, and thus gets a lot of use throughout the journey. In spite of this, the team is largely put off by his behavior due to representing all the worst qualities of a particularly [[{{Website/Reddit}} divisive website]]. |
| 371 | * ISeeDeadPeople: Can hear the voice of the fallen friends in his head. |
| 372 | * {{Jerkass}}: One of the rudest and most openly mocking members of the team, [[JustIgnoreIt even if nobody on it takes what he's saying even remotely seriously]]. |
| 373 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Absolutely ''destroys'' Brawly's entire team on his own with zero remorse. |
| 374 | * PluckyComicRelief: Easily one of the least serious members of the cast, with everything he says either being a reference, a gag, or something to poke fun at. |

| 377 | * TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Makes an appearance in the second season, speaking to Derek from beyond.]] |

| 385 | * VocalDissonance: Has a very deep voice, despite starting as one of the smaller Pokémon. |
| 386 | !!!'''Season #3 Tropes:''' |
| 387 | * TheGamblingAddict: Developed a crippling addiction to using Metronome, going as far as to challenge random wild Pokémon just to use it more. In later streams, he started imagining his Metronome usage as a gameshow called ''Do or Die''. |
| 388 | * GloriousDeath: One of his primary motivations for using Metronome is because of the miniscule chance that it rolls a [[SuicideAttack self-fainting]] move like Explosion or Final Gambit. [[spoiler: He did not get his wish, instead dying from rolling Tackle and Growl in succession against Turo's Iron Moth.]] |

| 402 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Regularly appeared in Salty's videos prior to the series. |
| 403 | * TheEveryman: {{Downplayed}}, but his laziness and attitude problems aside, he's probably one of the team's more normal members. [[spoiler:This becomes especially noticeable following his death in season #1, as Chrissy, Monsters, and the rest of the team fairly quickly start to drive Derek insane.]] |
| 404 | --> '''Derek:''' Everyone else was ''fucking normal!'' The normal people all got picked off so quickly, now all the weirdos are showing up! |
| 405 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Has considerable attitude problems, especially in regards to treating much of anything with respect, and can be needlessly aggressive. Despite this, he gets along fine with the team for the most part and at least does manage to maintain ''some'' standards. |
| 406 | * LackOfEmpathy: Couldn't care less about anything that happens in battles, from his teammates getting hurt to the potential moral implications that come with fighting so many battles. {{Downplayed}} in that every once and a while, though, he ''will'' notice a particularly unreasonable or strange aspect to their journey and call it out. |
| 407 | !!!'''Season #1 Tropes:''' |

| 409 | * DemotedToExtra: Pastey is arguably Salty's most recurring guest in his normal videos, making regular appearances and being a main member of the cast of his, "Have You Heard About" series. Here, he doesn't get used all too often in battles and gets very little screentime compared to the rest of the main cast, before ultimately [[spoiler:getting KilledOffForReal very early on in episode #4]]. |
| 410 | * DesecratingTheDead: [[spoiler:Following his death, Derek literally [[WhatADrag drags his body back to the center on a leash]].]] |
| 411 | * FateWorseThanDeath: PlayedForLaughs; he is placed in the CUM Box for an extended period of time, something he was ''less'' than happy with. |

Season 3 has him end up as a Wugtrio and get bullied for his phallic appearance, and he [[spoiler:dies to Atticus's Starmobile that was outstripped by him by ''thirteen levels'', with no one really caring]]. To say nothing of Wugtrio later being considered the [[LowTierLetdown worst new Pokemon introduced in Paldea, even in casual playthroughs]]. |
| 444 | !!!'''Season #1 Tropes:''' |
| 445 | * DefiantToTheEnd: Makes zero attempts to hide his utter contempt for Derek as a trainer. [[spoiler:It hits its natural peak in his final fight, which he purposefully drags out to make Derek as miserable and annoyed as possible.]] |
| 446 | * TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:After an entire season of abuse at Derek's hands, Collin gets his revenge by dragging out the battle with Sidney as ''long'' as possible, delivering a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech in the process.]] |
| 447 | ** DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:However, he does ultimately die in the fight since Derek had ''no'' plans to leave the elite four until he died, but it's made clear that ultimately Collin got the last laugh between the two.]] |
| 448 | * IconicItem: His flat cap. |
| 449 | * TheLoad: By all intents and purposes the weakest member of Derek's entire team. He's not even a very good HM slave, being incapable of learning half of the required ones. |
| 450 | * TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:Serves as one for Mal following his death.]] |
| 451 | * OddCouple: With Mal, the azumarill is a lot peppier then he is, even if they both can have a bit of a cruel streak. |
| 452 | * OfficialCouple: With Mal. |
| 453 | * SmokingIsCool: Always seen with a cigarette in his mouth. |
| 454 | * TinyGuyHugeGirl: The tiny guy to Mal's huge girl. |
| 455 | * UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler:Despite Derek trying so hard to deliberately invoke this by using him as a "recon" (by way of giving him only one attacking move and being the only Pokémon in his party, and being underleved at that), Collin manages to outright subvert this by making one point perfectly clear that ultimately ensures he gets the last laugh, much to Derek's chargin:]] |
| 456 | --> [[spoiler:"If you're gonna do this to me, I'm dragging this out as long as I can."]] |
| 457 | !!!'''Season #2 Tropes:''' |
| 458 | * BallsGag: Won't stop talking about his. |
| 459 | !!! '''Season #3 Tropes:''' |
| 460 | * AccidentalMisnaming: On the receiving end of this. While his real name is Collin, Peppy ends up calling him Grunpilo, as he was bawling his eyes out when Peppy asked for his name. |
| 461 | ** EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Sure enough, the name Grunpilo ends up sticking, causing him to be referred to as such by Peppy ''and'' the rest of the team, despite telling everyone his real name. |
| 462 | * BaritoneOfStrength: Both of Grunpilo's other two heads as Wugtrio have much deeper voices than him, said to be WebVideo/{{Markiplier}} and Creator/CorpseHusband. |
| 463 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: By the time of his second appearance, Grunpilo turned his life around off screen, having gone to therapy, quit smoking, and even [[SexyDiscretionShot got laid]], making him much less of a crier. |
| 464 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Is rather unpopular among his teammates, Peppy included. Peppy regularly mocks him, and after he [[spoiler: is killed by Atticus's Starmobile his teammates insist that he was a "coworker," not a friend, and that his death "isn't much of a loss."]] |
| 465 | * NoMouth: It's pointed out by Peppy that this is the case with him. This briefly delays his and Mall's desire to kiss, but Mall ends up just kissing his nose instead. |
| 466 | * ProneToTears: Starts off like this. In fact, the ''first thing'' he does when caught is to start crying. However, by his second appearance, it ends up subverted. |
| 467 | * ShipTease: Appears to reciprocate Mall Bingo's feelings for him. He also more than willing to (attempt to) kiss her, and it's implied things went even further off stream. |
| 468 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: [[spoiler: Was killed by Atticus's Starmobile, when it was expected to be a CurbStompBattle due to it being a whopping ''thirteen levels'' below him.]] |
| 469 | * VisualInnuendo: Looks very phallic. A fact of which he is not at ALL happy about. |

| 480 | -> ''"Bababooey."'' |
| 481 | ---- |
| 482 | !!!'''General Tropes:''' |
| 483 | * BloodKnight: Every Pokémon controlled by Mikey is very, very into fighting. |
| 484 | * CallingYourAttacks: ''SIGNATURE KILL!!'' |
| 485 | * DeathByIrony: |
| 486 | ** Mikeydeez, [[spoiler:despite swearing to [[ItsPersonal avenge Joe after his death]], winds up getting killed by Elite 4 Grimsley's Liepard, the EXACT same Pokemon species Joe died to much earlier. Furthering this is the lingering fear all season that he'd die from missing a Hi Jump Kick, but he dies after missing a Blaze Kick instead.]] |
| 487 | ** EVERYTHING about Mykyie's [[spoiler:death had some layer of irony to it. He was killed in an optional battle before facing the Normal Type gym, a gym that he would have excelled at as a Fighting Type. Mikey wanted to be a Primeape so he could evolve into an Annihilape, an evolution that involves the death of the Pokemon, but he had a completely normal death in battle. Speaking of, had he been an Annihilape, he would have been immune to the Counter that killed him off as a Normal Type move. Finally, he was killed in his second stage evolution in a three evolution chain, much like Lark. Unlike Lark, had he not died where he did, he would have evolved anyway, as Derek reveals when he evolves him after the fight with Nemona... who he ALSO would have been fantastic against, given that Annihilape is super effective against her Skeledirge, who ends up killing Mall Bingo and Christene's too.]] |
| 488 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Appeared in a handful of Salty's videos prior to the series. |
| 489 | * IconicItem: His [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina glasses]], which he is depicted with in every incarnation he's had. |
| 490 | * LargeHam: Practically ''screams'' half of what he says. |
| 491 | * RunningGag: |
| 492 | ** Mikey’s death in every season is a result of his own actions. |
| 493 | ** All of the Pokémon he ended up as are from Generation One. |
| 494 | * TeamKiller: [[spoiler:Kills CHATFORM and Lark. However, both instances are played with as CHATFORM was very dangerous to keep around, making it more of an EvilVersusEvil situation, and he killed Lark in the middle of his debut fight before he was caught, meaning they weren't teammates at the time, although he is regretful of what he did regardless.]] |
| 495 | * TokenEvilTeammate: To varying degrees per Season. |
| 496 | ** Mikey's bloodlust does not end at his enemies and he makes several comments about killing his own allies, [[spoiler:and he manages to kill one of his teammates (albiet the one nobody likes, so nobody was particularly upset over it).]] |
| 497 | ** Mikeydeez is the least malevolent of the three, though he is a KleptomaniacHero who likes stealing people's hats. |
| 498 | ** Mykyie [[spoiler:follows his first incarnation's example and kills one of his teammates, but this time it's the StarterMon Lark, ''before he's even caught''. After this, he's actually rather upset over having killed Lark, but not enough to give a good eulogy.]] |
| 499 | !!!'''Season #1 Tropes:''' |
| 500 | * ActionBomb: Learns Self-Destruct and Explosion. [[spoiler:Uses the latter by the end of the series.]] |
| 501 | * AggressiveSubmissive: Generally among Derek's most abrasive and antagonistic party members, but also is rather uncomfortable with people looking at his "nips". |
| 502 | * AlternateSelf: Every other wild Geodude is just them. |
| 503 | * BecomeARealBoy: Wants to steal the skin of a trainer the group defeated and use it to become a human, much to [[EveryoneHasStandards Mal's disturbance]]. |
| 504 | * TheBigGuy: One of Derek's strongest Pokémon by a landslide, and also among the most aggressive members of the party. |
| 505 | * ChekhovsGag: Upon learning Self Destruct, a recurring gag throughout the season is him debating if he should use the move during battle, much to the horror of his teammates. [[spoiler: He ends up using the move against CHATQUAZA, resulting in him instantly killing the creature.]] |
| 506 | * DeathSeeker: From the very beginning, his plan was to go out in a blaze of glory with an explosion. [[spoiler:He gets his wish in the final battle against CHATQUAZA.]] |
| 507 | * DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:Uses Self-Destruct in the final battle, blowing himself up to take out CHATFORM once and for all.]] |
| 508 | * EmotionalBruiser: Loud and confident, but also suffers from a handful of insecurities and tends to let his emotions get the better of him in moments of stress. |
| 509 | * GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:When he finally has the chance to use Self-Destruct, he goes out laughing and grinning in the process.]] |
| 510 | * TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:To CHATFORM.]] |
| 511 | * ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler:Uses Magnitude 10, the strongest level of the move, to kill CHATFORM.]] |
| 512 | * TokenEvilTeammate: Makes several comments about attacking other teammates (mostly Mal), admits he planned on killing the team before the Elite Four, [[spoiler:and even murders CHATFORM.]] [[spoiler:TWICE!]] |
| 513 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler: Him using Self Destruct ends up as the catalyst for the events of season 2, causing global warming that would ultimately lead many of the Pokémon caught by Salty to their dooms.]] |
| 514 | !!!'''Season #2 Tropes:''' |
| 515 | * BadassCape: Often depicted with a blue sparkling cape. |
| 516 | * ChildhoodFriends: With Gerber and Mal. |
| 517 | * DivingKick: His Hi Jump Kick move, or as he calls it: SIGNATURE KILL: SHOOTING STAR KICK!! |
| 518 | * FearlessFool: Gleefully suggested an immediate Round 2 against [[spoiler:Clay, despite knowing [[TotalPartyKill what happened during Round 1]]. It winds up getting him killed when he tries to avenge Joe in the final stream.]] |
| 519 | * GagEcho: Before he's sent to the box, he says "Bababooey", the same phrase Mikey says in Season 1 in the same situation. |
| 520 | * KleptomaniacHero: Openly tries to steal clothing from other Trainers, most notably Clay's hat and Bianca's hat. |
| 521 | * TragicKeepsake: [[spoiler:Took and wears Joe's crown after his death.]] |
| 522 | !!!'''Season #3 Tropes:''' |
| 523 | * ApologeticAttacker: Bursts into tears after killing [[spoiler:Lark]]. |
| 524 | * TheAtoner: Feels extremely guilty for being responsible for [[spoiler: Lark's]] death, wanting to make amends for his actions. |
| 525 | * ComfortTheDying: [[spoiler: On the receiving end of this. As he dies, Peppy finally evolves him into Annihilape, later stating that it's "what he would've wanted".]] |
| 526 | * EasilyForgiven: By the fourth stream, mostly everyone's warmed up to and forgiven Mikey for [[spoiler:killing Lark]]. [[DownplayedTrope Everyone except Sara, at least]]. |
| 527 | * TheFriendNoOneLikes: Introduced by killing [[spoiler:Lark]] in his first appearance; he's subsequently accepted into the team, but ''no one'' lets him live it down at first, and the others frequently tell him to shut up. [[SubvertedTrope He's gradually welcomed into the team by the fourth stream]]. |
| 528 | * HeroKiller: [[spoiler:He killed Lark in his introduction, and nobody forgives him for it. [[EasilyForgiven Initially, at least]].]] |
| 529 | * TheseHandsHaveKilled: But they're so ''sexy''! |
| 530 | * WalkingSpoiler: It's very hard to mention how he joins the team without mentioning that [[spoiler: he ends up killing Lark]] in the process of Peppy trying to catch him. |

| 550 | * NearDeathExperience: The first fight of the Team Magma hideout has Jay almost die at the hands of a Graveler. |
| 551 | * OutOfFocus: Despite debuting halfway into the season and appearing for a handful of important battles, Jay never gets a particularly huge chance to stand out amongst the cast. |
| 552 | * PainfulTransformation: Screamed during his evolution. |
| 553 | * PutOnABus: Or in his case, Put In The Box. After Jay evolves, he does not come back into the party again. [[spoiler:Technically he does after the Elite Four, but it does not end well for him...]] |
| 554 | * SweetTooth: Only joins the team after being promised a cookie. |
| 555 | !!!'''Season #2 Tropes:''' |
| 556 | * AscendedExtra: In season #1, Jay arguably got among the least screentime of the cast, despite [[spoiler:surviving to the end of the season]]. In season #2, he is introduced in the first episode as Derek's new starter, allowing for far more screentime. |
| 557 | * BarrierWarrior: Won his first two battles (and a rematch with Abra) through repeatedly using Defense Curl. |
| 558 | * TheLancer: To Derek, being his friendly, pacifist {{Foil}} who serves as his second-in-command and starter. |
| 559 | * TheLoad: One of the weaker Pokémon of the Unova team since he begins with low stats and ''zero'' damaging moves. As a result, he has to rely on his teammates to do the heavy lifting in battles. |
| 560 | * LoverNotAFighter: Despite being a starter, he wasn't raised to fight and instead largely lives a more peaceful lifestyle compared to most Pokémon, which causes no end of headaches for Derek throughout season #2. |
| 561 | * NonActionGuy: PlayedStraight, as Jay was raised as a pacifist, with his moveset largely being catered to defense and singing. [[PlayedForDrama This comes back to bite him]] when he becomes Derek's starter, as he is left wholly unprepared for combat. |
| 562 | * StarterMon: Acts as Derek's starter during his Unova journey. |
| 563 | * SurvivorGuilt: [[spoiler:After the Clay fight, Jay kept apologizing to the fallen friends for saying they should have fought Clay, thinking he played a part in their death.]] |
| 564 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: Becomes this pretty quickly in the season. Mal even carries him in a baby sling! |
| 565 | * TookALevelInBadass: {{Inverted}}; Jay is ''far'' weaker as an Igglybuff, not having access to ''any'' damaging moves at the start. They only get through the tutorial at all through dumb luck with struggle. |
| 566 | ** Gets PlayedStraight over time as Jay evolves twice, making him just a little more viable in battle. |
| 567 | * VictoryByEndurance: Jay won his first two rival matches by having the opponents use up all of their moves before he did, resulting in said opponents struggling until they fainted, causing Jay to outlive them. |
| 568 | * WithFriendsLikeThese: With Gerber. The two are part of the group (and even act as childhood friends later on) but whenever they talk to each other, it's usually an argument. |
| 569 | !!!'''Season #3 Tropes:''' |
| 570 | * IronicLastWords: [[spoiler: While attempting to defend his plan he made with Gerber, he states that "we did the math." This ends up being his last words as the plan then backfires, resulting in him getting killed by Ryme's Banette and Gerber.]] |
| 571 | * LaserGuidedKarma: He plots with Gerber to attack each other in the midst of a gym battle. [[spoiler:This would lead to two thirds of the party dying, with Jayyweed going down with them.]] |

| 587 | * CaptainObvious: Points out that Skarmory looks a little sharp...Likely because its made from ''metal''. |

| 611 | ---- |
| 612 | !!!'''General Tropes:''' |
| 613 | * AscendedExtra: In the first season, [[spoiler:they died the first time they were brought out of the box.]] Compare this to Sauerkraut, who got a much bigger chance for characterization [[spoiler:before meeting their end at Clay]], even showing up in a LetsPlay/SnapCube stream later on. And despite their late debut, Da Cheff gets a lot of time to flesh themselves out as they end up being one of the final people alive by the end of the Violet playthrough. |
| 614 | * BrokenWinLossStreak: [[spoiler:Da Cheff's survival by the end of season 3 was the first time that Red's Pokemon survived to the end of the game]]. |
| 615 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Appeared in a handful of Salty's videos prior to the series. |
| 616 | * JokeCharacter: ''Always'' ends up being represented as a weak, gimmicky Pokemon. Season 3 downplays this, as Dunsparce had [[LethalJokeCharacter recieved an evolution]] by then. |
| 617 | * NonElemental: Red has appeared in all three seasons as a Normal-type, including the April Fool's season, with the art accompanying the fake season depicting them as a Porygon. |
| 618 | !!!'''Season #1 Tropes:''' |
| 619 | * OutOfFocus: Arguably the worst case of the entire cast, as they easily get the least amount of screentime and are 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. |
| 620 | * SurprisinglySuddenDeath: [[spoiler:Arguably the worst case of the Hoenn team, as they died under the second time they appear in the series; Even then, it was twenty minutes after they were brought out of the PC.]] |
| 621 | * VocalDissonance: PlayedForLaughs; soon after getting encountered, Red's voice transforms into a [[VoiceOfTheLegion very disturbing version of itself]] that quickly terrifies Derek. |
| 622 | !!!'''Season #2 Tropes:''' |
| 623 | * ActorAllusion: A depressed, mopey, talking cartoon animal? [[WebVideo/RealTimeFandub Not the first time Red's played this sort of archetype]]. [[WordOfGod Red themself]] even referred to Sauerkraut as a refined version of Silver as a character. |
| 624 | * ButtMonkey: Sauerkraut's life can be described as a long string of miserable occurences. Red stated that their circumstances were specifically exaggerated to be unrelatable and thus easier to laugh at. |
| 625 | * CaptainObvious: Believes it is not good to be fucked up and evil, but is in fact bad. |
| 626 | ** When Joe asks if they have a favorite racist, Sauerkraut says they don't because racists are not good people. |
| 627 | * CurbstompCushion: [[spoiler:In the fight against Clay, they were actually able to strike down the Excadrill who ravaged CHURMY, Gabi, Mal, and THE LARK, but they was unfortunately killed by Clay's Palpitoad.]] |
| 628 | * TheDitz: In [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]] they keep referring to Pokémon-specific terms and concepts, failing to comprehend that they're in a world that works nothing like their old one even though they do acknowledge the isekai situation. They also fail to understand several basic concepts until it's too late, such as believing a tile in front of an obvious spike trap [[EntertaininglyWrong is the only safe spot from the trap]], or only recognizing that they're set to be executed in the intro when a Stormcloak soldier gets his head cut off in front of them. |
| 629 | * ExpansionPackPast: Their past only get bigger and more convoluted as time continues. Between their brothers bullying them, their constant divorces, their daughter being sent to war, losing their mother to lemons, and many other events, Sauerkraut has the biggest backstory of the party by far. |
| 630 | * HiddenDepths: It turns out they play VideoGame/RainbowSixSiege, claiming to Pastey that it's all they play. |
| 631 | * IronicAllergy: Is apparently allergic to sauerkraut, which is a shame considering how much they eat it. |

| 657 | !!!'''Season #1 Tropes:''' |
| 658 | * DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:During the fight against Drake, Forrest uses Mirror Move, using one of the opponent's moves against them. Although they still died during that turn, Forrest weakened the foe enough to give the team a win and earned a salute of emotes from the chat.]] |
| 659 | * GlobalAirship: Used a form of fast-travel once they learn Fly. |
| 660 | * IconicItem: Their winged eye mask. |
| 661 | * SyntheticVoiceActor: Talks through a robotic text-to-speech function. |
| 662 | !!!'''Season #2 Tropes:''' |
| 663 | * BadLiar: Claimed they did not want to get into Derek's Pokeball, but the group could tell they wanted to. |
| 664 | * HeliumSpeech: Unlike the first season, they speak with their own voice, but digitally pitched up. |
| 665 | * TemptingFate: They ask [[spoiler:Callin]] that if, he dies, they can inherit his "balls", which he accepts. [[spoiler:A few minutes after, Callin bites the dust.]] |
| 666 | * TooKinkyToTorture: The prospect of being eaten-- er, beaten up by "big strong Pokémon" clearly does not bother them at all. To a degree that the others find disturbing. |
| 667 | !!!'''Season #3 Tropes:''' |
| 668 | * GagLips: Is consistently depicted as having big red lips at the end of their mouth, often with a toothy smile. |

| 684 | !!!'''Season #1 Tropes:''' |
| 685 | * BerserkButton: For as much of a silly character he is, he will NOT take kindly to you killing any of his friends. [[spoiler:Stoney's Salamance learns this the hard way.]] |
| 686 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite his rather silly appearance, use of {{Engrish}}, and inability to properly comprehend what's actually going on, Monsters shows time and time again to be an absolute ''monster'' in combat, becoming one of Derek's most powerful teammates |
| 687 | * {{Expy}}: Is a direct reference to Sasha Baron Cohen's {{Film/Borat}} character. |
| 688 | * FlatCharacter: Beyond being an {{Expy}} of {{Film/Borat}}, there isn't very much to Monsters, especially in comparison to the rest of the main cast. |
| 689 | * FunnyForeigner: Hails from Kazakhstan. |
| 690 | * FunWithAcronyms: What he calls bike tricks in his country. |
| 691 | --> '''Monsters:''' BDSM! Bikes Do So Much! |
| 692 | * HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:It turns out the ''real'' Monsters is actually a sane, relatively normal guy; the Monsters we get to know throughout the journey is actually an alternate personality.]] |
| 693 | * MeaningfulRename: Was originally named Monsters but is later renamed Borat in-game to better fit the character. |
| 694 | * NoSocialSkills: Has little to no idea of how to speak ''actual'' sentences, with most of it coming across as a fine-line between gibberish and {{Engrish}}. |
| 695 | * PluckyComicRelief: Almost everything he says causes the party and audience to break out into hysterical laughter. |
| 696 | * SplitPersonalityTakeover: [[spoiler:Borat is actually Monsters' ''2nd'' personality, having taken control during their time as a Spoink, and taking control ''back'' soon after evolving into Grumpig.]] |
| 697 | ** However, [[spoiler: Borat ends up leaving Monsters alone after Derek and his team fight against Steven Stone, leaving to go to Kazakhstan and see his wife.]] |
| 698 | !!!'''Season #2 Tropes:''' |
| 699 | * CoolOldGuy: He doesn't start this way, but [[spoiler: near the end of the playthrough, he gives a RousingSpeech to Derek and [[NotAfraidToDie proves that he is willing to die for the team]], stepping in to stall Ghetsis's Hydreigon in Sara's place]]. |
| 700 | * CutawayGag: Pete Ness is the king of these, as he will do one every couple of minutes (at the very least). |
| 701 | * {{Expy}}: As per Monsters himself, Pete is an amalgamation of [[Film/WallStreet Gordon Gekko]], Creator/PhilHartman, and Carter Pewterschmidt from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', with Peter Griffin's ability to summon cutaway gags. |
| 702 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Derek and every other party member is disgusted by his personality, his [[CutawayGag cutaway gags]], his life, and [[WhatMeasureIsANonCute the Pokémon that represents him]], and when one of the party members is a [[SmellySkunk Skuntank]], that's a new low. But sometimes he can be a pretty smooth talker. |
| 703 | --> '''Joe:''' I will be honest. I hate looking at you but i love listening to you talk. |
| 704 | --> '''Pete Ness:''' That's fair, that's what my 35 wives said. |
| 705 | * TheGenerationGap: PlayedForLaughs. He's by far the oldest of the team, a womanizer and a proud capitalist. His life is long, full of absurdity, and has met some colorful public figures, like [[CutawayGag the time when he did DMT with]] Creator/JoeRogan. |
| 706 | --> '''Pete Ness:''' Smells like Millenials over here, reminds me of the time I went to Coachella. |
| 707 | * InterspeciesRomance: With Professor Juniper and even got married, much to the group's surprise. |
| 708 | * InterspeciesAdoption: In the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, he's shown to of [[spoiler:adopted Mal's kids after the former's death.]] |
| 709 | * NonIdleRich: Not even being a member of the 1% keeps Derek from putting him in battle. |
| 710 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler:After the complete party wipe against Ghetsis, Pete Ness sounds genuinely sad. Unlike normal, he doesn’t even try a CutawayGag, stating that he’s never experienced anything like this, and even provides a genuine RousingSpeech to help Derek get back up and regain the courage to keep going. He also acts nearly completely serious for the entirety of Stream 9, only regaining his normal personality once the coast is clear and Ghetsis is defeated.]] |
| 711 | * ParentalNeglect: Couldn't remember their son's name when asked. |
| 712 | ** This seems to go both ways, as none of his children cared enough to wish him a Happy Father's Day. |
| 713 | ** However, there still appears to be a level of contact between Pete Ness and his 75 kids, with him even asking for the orders of ''every single one of them'' when Derek goes to get food. |
| 714 | * SerialSpouse: Had 36 wives. Currently has 1, but divorced 35. |
| 715 | * ToiletHumor: He used to work as a bidet in a [[DisgustingPublicToilet public bathroom]]. And in the original Stream, when it was mentioned that somebody [[PottyFailure soiled themselves]], his reply would be that he did or has done so as well. |
| 716 | * TooManyBabies: Amongst his 36 wives, he apparently has 75 children. |
| 717 | * UnfortunateNames: Pete Ness, as in penis. |
| 718 | * VisualInnuendo: His hair. at least, that's what we think it is... |

| 734 | * DisappointedInYou: When [[spoiler:Pastey dies]], Chrissy is left disappointed, mainly due to how easily it could have been avoided. |
| 735 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: At the beginning of the fourth stream, she made a joking prediction that a dog would die at some point in the night. At the time, Gerber and Pastey were still alive and were considered to be dogs, so it was unsure who she meant. [[spoiler:In the end, the answer was both.]] |
| 736 | --> '''Chrissy:''' Who's ready to watch some people die!? I'm putting my money on the dog! |

| 739 | * TeamMom: The oldest, wisest, and most mature female member of the party...At least on the surface, and takes on a caring, mother-like role. The team even ''refers'' to her as their aunt/grandma! |
| 740 | * TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler: She makes an appearance in Season 2, during Derek's trek up the Celestial Tower.]] She also gets referenced by Coach Cos, Chrissy's character in the second season. |

| 742 | * BloodKnight: ''Really'' gets into her battles. |

| 745 | * HotBlooded: Has more energy and intensity than all of the team combined. |
| 746 | * LovableJock: Introduced as a positive gym coach. |
| 747 | * LukeNounverber: The Cosmic part of her name doesn’t have any meaning, but it still sounds cool. |
| 748 | * MissingMom: Well, Auntie in this case. Auntie Sandslash, from the first season, said she would be back before disappearing. [[spoiler:She did not get to come back. Judging by her intense anger at Gerber making a note from Chrissy disappear, the Sandslash clearly meant a lot to Cos.]] |
| 749 | * SitcomArchNemesis: With Gerber. [[spoiler:It gets a bit more serious when Cos' only memento of her auntie disappears, courtesy of the influencer.]] |

| 803 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: None of the team are particularly fond of them due to being a personification of all of Twitch chat's most random, obnoxious qualities. [[spoiler:They're also the only death in the entire playthrough that isn't mourned at least to some degree by the team.]] |

| 880 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Used Leech Seed against Excadrill during the Clay fight, knowing he would have died either way, only to give Sauerkraut a better chance to defeat the Gym Leader. Technically it works.... [[SenselessSacrifice until Clay brings out another Pokémon.]]]] |

| 886 | * DisappearedDad: Apparently, as a baby, he was [[DoorstopBaby left at Clavell's doorstep]] by his father [[Advertising/McDonaldland Grimace]]. |
| 887 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: He refers to his Water Gun as his signature move. [[spoiler:His killer also has had a variety of signature moves across his different incarnations.]] |
| 888 | * {{Keet}}: As a Quaxly, he is extremely talkative and full of energy. |
| 889 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When faced against a Houndoom that is ''significantly'' higher in level than him, he panics and escapes into his ball. |

| 903 | * AscendedExtra: Goes from a mod for Season 1's Twitch streams to a member of Derek's team in Season 2 (and still modding the chat.) |
| 904 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: Hannah goes from a cute, generous child from the past in her debut stream to a [[BewareTheNiceOnes hardened, vulgar Delibird not afraid to rob some Trainers blind.]] Eventually, she just decides to act more like her OOC self. |

| 911 | * UnexplainedAccent: Hannah switches between having a southern accent and a British accent, even though Paldea is based on the Iberian peninsula. When she evolves, she initially only uses a Scottish accent before just dropping it altogether. |
| 912 | * WeakToMagic: Downplayed, but Hannah's lower Special Defense compared to her Defense [[spoiler: ends biting her in the ass when she switches into Ryme's Toxtricity after [=GrAce=] dies.

| 945 | * MayTheFarceBeWithYou: His entire character is based off of Star Wars, even going as far as being named after it. |

| 973 | * ADogNamedDog: The only caught Pokemon of the series to not have a nickname. Justified in that he's a one of a kind Legendary Pokemon. |
| 974 | * CurseCutShort: Mixed with [[spoiler:KilledMidSentence, in which he gets cut off in the middle of saying "GODDAMNIT".]] |
| 975 | * FakeShemp: Salty didn't actually have Dana in the call like he did with the others; instead, he says he comissioned Dana to read off a bunch of lines that could be used for his appearance in the Friendlocke. This never became very clear in the stream itself [[spoiler:because he dies so fast.]] |

| 991 | * MindHive: Same as always, though given that Miraidon has an established personality in-game, Chat has been good about trying to keep their voice/persona consistent. |
| 992 | * NonActionGuy: Unlike the last few Chat controlled Pokemon, CHATBIKE isn't an actual member of the party and is solely used for transportation. [[spoiler:This changes in the fight with AI Turo/the Paradise Protection Protocol, where they finally get to fight.]] |

| 1052 | * TheGenericGirl: Even in comparison to the other minor characters, who themselves are fairly one-dimensional, May never really gets much of an established personality. |

| 1058 | * CurbStompBattle: Absolutely ''destroyed'' in his first battle with Derek's team, his Ralts getting instantly one-shot by Gerber. This leaves Wally devastated in the process. |
| 1059 | * InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Takes ballet lessons. |
| 1060 | * ParentalFavoritism: Acts as Norman's favorite son, leaving Derek feeling replaced and annoyed by Wally's presence. |
| 1061 | * RichSiblingPoorSibling: The rich sibling to Derek's poor, being Norman's preferred son and thus likely getting at least some of his money in comparison to Derek. |

| 1069 | |
| 1070 | !!Team Aqua & Team Magma |
| 1071 | * BigBadWannabe: While their attempts to reconstruct Hoenn in their image drive the second half of the game technically, they're ultimately little more than a cliffnote in the series as a whole. |
| 1072 | * DemotedToExtra: Go from the main villains of the Hoenn games to effectively glorified mini-bosses with almost nothing to show for their efforts. |
| 1073 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Maxie tells Archie that his plan to get rid of all the land was stupid even though Derek reminds him that his plan to get rid of all the water is also pretty stupid. |

| 1104 | ---- |
| 1105 | * AnticlimaxBoss: Despite being a gym leader, she is ''far'' from intimidating, getting dealt with relatively easily thanks to Sara. |
| 1106 | * OutOfFocus: Their battle begins and ends quickly enough to barely be a footnote in the grand scheme of the series. |
| 1107 | * StarterVillain: The first gym leader the party faces, and also the easiest. |
| 1108 | |
| 1109 | !!Brawly |
| 1110 | [[quoteright:130:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gl_63.png]] |
| 1111 | The fighting-type gym leader of Dewford Town. He's a meathead with a team that focuses entirely on punching and kicking, so when something ''can't'' be done in through that, he's left at a fairly notable disadvantage. |
| 1112 | ---- |
| 1113 | * AnticlimaxBoss: Arguably the ''worst'' example in the entire series; despite being a boss, ''all'' of his Pokémon are one/two-shot by Ken. |
| 1114 | * BareFistedMonk: A fighting-type specialist, which shockingly, [[WeaksauceWeakness leads to his undoing]]. |
| 1115 | * CripplingOverspecialization: His team ''only'' has fighting-type damaging moves, meaning that when Ken is thrown out to fight him, his team literally ''can't do anything'' to hurt him! |
| 1116 | * CurbStompBattle: Suffers one at the hands of Ken. |
| 1117 | * DumbMuscle: He ''maybe'' could have put up a fight if he had thought to have even a ''single'' move that ''wasn't'' a fighting-type. |
| 1118 | * JokeCharacter: His fight quite literally goes by in the blink of an eye, to a point where the party is at a loss to what sorts of jokes they can even ''make'' about him. |
| 1119 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Is ''brutally'' beaten by Ken in his fight, to a point where none of his team evens lays a ''finger'' on him. |
| 1120 | * WeaksauceWeakness: His team is entirely fighting types. Since Fighting type moves can't hit Ghost types, Kenny no-sells his way through the fight. |

| 1123 | [[quoteright:130:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gl_0.png]] |
| 1124 | The electric-type gym leader of Mauville City. He's not very good at his job, rarely training and filling his gym full of kids, which may or may not have disturbing implications. |
| 1125 | ---- |
| 1126 | * BeardOfEvil: If his behavior around Derek and his gym full of kids is anything to go by, he isn't a particularly good person. |
| 1127 | * ChildSoldiers: The trainers that occupy his gym are exclusively young children who don't seem to know where their parents are. |
| 1128 | * GeneralFailure: Compared to the rest of the gym leaders, Wattson's trainers are utterly incompetent, with one of them being a ''child'' who doesn't even have any electric-type Pokémon! |
| 1129 | * JokeCharacter: His trainers aren't good at their job, his team is pathetically weak, and he's the oldest and most out of shape gym leader. It's not particularly easy to take him all that seriously. |
| 1130 | * PaedoHunt: Gives Derek his phone number immediately following the battle, which makes him more than a little uncomfortable. |

| 1136 | * ButchLesbian: All of Flannery's Pokémon are female, and they also exclusively and excessively flirt with Tracey and Mal, two female Pokémon. They're also not particularly feminine-looking. |
| 1137 | * TheCasanova: Flannery's Camerupt and Torkoal, who are ''shockingly'' flirtatious and charming despite their rather off-putting appearances. |
| 1138 | * FourIsDeath: She's the fourth gym leader, [[spoiler:and the cause for the first death of the run, being Tracey.]] |
| 1139 | * KickTheDog: Using attract on Tracey is one thing, but the Torkoal [[spoiler:immediately killing her in said moment of weakness is something entirely despicable]]. |
| 1140 | * {{Polyamory}}: Flannery's team sees absolutely no issue trying to flirt and be with multiple women at once. Its also heavily implied the entire ''team'' is in a relationship with each other, even outside of their Attracts. |

| 1142 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Serves as little more than a gym leader you fight halfway into the game, and yet is responsible for [[spoiler:killing Tracey, setting the stakes for the rest of the series as a result.]] |
| 1143 | * WakeUpCallBoss: Is the first fight in the entire first season to actually put up a real fight against the main party, forcing them to start taking the journey more seriously. |
| 1144 | |
| 1145 | !!Norman |
| 1146 | [[quoteright:130:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gl_29.png]] |
| 1147 | The normal-type gym leader of Petalburg City. Derek's father, who abandoned him and his mother quickly after the divorce, having Wally in the meantime and refusing to pay his alimony checks. |
| 1148 | ---- |
| 1149 | * AbusiveParents: Doesn't get along well with Derek, belittling his skills as a trainer and regularly stating how much he hates him. |
| 1150 | ** {{Inverted}} in the case of Wally, who he seems to get along with well. |
| 1151 | * AnticlimaxBoss: Despite his seeming importance to Derek's storyline, his battle against him lasts less than a minute. |
| 1152 | * ArchnemesisDad: Hates Derek despite being his father, and later fights him as a part of the gym challenge. |
| 1153 | * HateSink: Fairly easily the most unlikeable character the party encounters throughout their journeys in Hoenn, being Derek's abusive father. |
| 1154 | * JerkassToOne: Is only ever seen being cruel or rude to his own son, Derek. Otherwise, he acts fairly normal. |
| 1155 | |
| 1156 | !!Winona |
| 1157 | [[quoteright:130:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gl_08.png]] |
| 1158 | The flying-type gym leader of Fortree City. Her team is known for being absolutely unbeatable in some runs thanks to RNG...Not that you'd ever know that. |
| 1159 | ---- |
| 1160 | * FlatCharacter: Gets little to no personality throughout her battle with the team. |
| 1161 | * TheQuietOne: Likely the best reason why she comes across as so unremarkable may be on account of her just plain not talking much. |
| 1162 | * VillainOfAnotherStory: Her Altaria, if given enough time to set-up Dragon Dance, becomes nigh-''unstoppable'' on some runs, having ''wiped'' some high-leveled teams with ease. |
| 1163 | |
| 1164 | !!Tate and Liza |
| 1165 | [[quoteright:130:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gl_4.png]] |
| 1166 | The psychic-type gym leaders of Mossdeep City. A big change to the usual Gym Battle, as you fight both of them via Double Battle. |
| 1167 | ---- |
| 1168 | * DualBoss: Both have to be battled together and are pretty hard because of this. |
| 1169 | * TheBabyoftheBunch: Likely the youngest gym leaders in Hoenn being seven or nine. |
| 1170 | * TwinTelepathy: Being psychic-type gym leaders they can determine what the other is thinking. |
| 1171 | |
| 1172 | !!Juan |
| 1173 | [[quoteright:130:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gl_48.png]] |

| 1184 | !!Glacia |

| 1186 | |
| 1187 | !!Drake |
| 1188 | The Dragon-type user of Hoenn's Elite Four. |
| 1189 | ---- |
| 1190 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: While the other Elite Four members were not much of a challenge, Drake proved to be the toughest by [[spoiler:killing Forrest.]] |
| 1191 | |
| 1192 | !!Wallace |
| 1193 | The Champion of the Hoenn Pokemon League and the final opponent of the journey. A powerful trainer with an equally powerful water-type team...[[AnticlimaxBoss On paper]]. |
| 1194 | ---- |
| 1195 | * AnticlimaxBoss: [[spoiler:While he was expected to be a formidable final foe, he instead gets overpowered by Gerber's use of Sunny Day and Solar Beam.]] |

| 1201 | !!Cheren |
| 1202 | [[quoteright:129:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/black_white_cheren_2_3.png]] |
| 1203 | One of Derek's best friends and rivals in the Unova region. An honest and difficult boy on a search for strength. |
| 1204 | ---- |
| 1205 | * ButtMonkey: Between the two best friend rivals, Cheren always seems to get the most insults and hate from Derek and Co. Even [[TheEeyore Sauerkraut]] gets a good couple of jabs at him! |
| 1206 | * ForeheadofDoom: He gets insulted for his big forehead that you could land a plane on. |
| 1207 | * TheRival: Acts as one for Derek, picking Hoppip from the starter selection. |
| 1208 | |
| 1209 | !!Bianca |
| 1210 | [[quoteright:129:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bianca_bw_anime_art_2.png]] |
| 1211 | One of Derek's rivals in the Unova region. An energetic, albeit flighty girl who travels as a Pokemon trainer despite her father's disapproval. |
| 1212 | ---- |
| 1213 | * TheRival: Acts as one for Derek, picking Abra from the starter selection. |
| 1214 | |
| 1215 | !!Professor Juniper |
| 1216 | [[quoteright:179:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_08_09_015255.png]] |
| 1217 | ---- |
| 1218 | * InterspeciesRomance: Married to Pete Ness. |
| 1219 | |
| 1220 | !!Bianca's Father |
| 1221 | ---- |
| 1222 | * HelicopterParents: Appears multiple times in the story to voice his concern over Bianca's Pokemon journey. However, he gets better over time. |
| 1223 | |
| 1224 | !!N |
| 1225 | [[quoteright:165:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/differentn.png]] |
| 1226 | ---- |
| 1227 | * KingIncognito: Revealed to be the king and leader of Team Plasma in Stream 3. |
| 1228 | * EvilCounterpart: Serves as one to Derek. Both are the dragons’ chosen heroes, both have the ability to understand Pokémon when nobody else can, and both have less than desirable fathers. |
| 1229 | * MotorMouth: Talks faster than any other NPC in Unova. This goes as far as the game's code giving him a special text speed so he is faster than anyone else. |
| 1230 | * SpeaksFluentAnimal: Acknowledges how Derek's Pokemon can talk, both in the series and InUniverse. |
| 1231 | |
| 1232 | !!Ghetsis & Team Plasma |
| 1233 | ---- |
| 1234 | * BigBad: The antagonists of Season 2, as they fight to separate humans from Pokemon. |
| 1235 | * HiddenVillain: {{Downplayed}}: While Team Plasma was always the antagonist and Ghetsis was the public face, the final part of the game revealed that Ghetsis was using N and Team Plasma as a means to his true goal to rule the world as the only person with Pokemon. |
| 1236 | * InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: Other than the Seven Sages, and the Shadow Triad, everyone in Team Plasma has orange hair and looks very similar. |
| 1237 | * ShoutOut: Ghetsis sounds remarkably similar to [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Plankton.]] |
| 1238 | |
| 1239 | !!Al Pacino & Adam Sandler |
| 1240 | ---- |
| 1241 | * AscendedMeme: Around a year before the Friendlocke, Salty created and ran the Dunkaccino Twitter account which featured various edits of the final scene of Film/JackAndJill, where Al Pacino danced and rapped in a Dunkin Donuts commercial. One year later, Chrissy accidentally put a picture of Adam Sandler amongst the fanart featured for stream #2. Five streams later, both of them appear before the Pokemon League as an optional fight. |
| 1242 | * {{Expy}}: Literally just Creator/AlPacino and Creator/AdamSandler. However, Pacino acts as the self-proclaimed Champion of the Dunk. |
| 1243 | * LethalJokeCharacter: While the two were added as a reference to the Dunkaccino account Salty ran, [[spoiler: they end up causing the deaths of Onee and Callin.]] |
| 1244 | * UnexpectedCharacter: No one in the party had any idea those two would appear in Unova. Even the fans were pretty shocked! |

| 1251 | [[folder:Gym Leaders]] |
| 1252 | !!Cilan, Chili, & Cress |
| 1253 | The gym leader trio of Striaton City. The first obstacle of Derek's Unova journey, each trainer represents a different element (Grass, Fire, and Water) |
| 1254 | ---- |
| 1255 | * ElementalRockPaperScissors: The main gimmick of this gym. They choose which leader the challenger would fight against. In the case of Season 2, Derek fought Cilan the grass-type user. |
| 1256 | * StarterVillain: The first gym leader(s) the group encounter in Unova. |
| 1257 | |
| 1258 | !!Lenora |
| 1259 | The normal-type gym leader of Nacrene City. The director of the Nacrene Museum with a [[{{Dominatrix}}very dominant stance on her love life.]] |
| 1260 | ---- |
| 1261 | * CasualKink: She and her husband saw no problem talking about pegging in the Nacrene Gym. Even in front of Gym challengers like Derek. |
| 1262 | * {{Dominatrix}}: Derek and the others knew upon entering the gym that Lenora pegs her husband. |
| 1263 | |
| 1264 | !!Burgh |
| 1265 | The bug-type gym leader of Castelia City. A skilled artist and struggling trendsetter for "Burgh Thursday". |
| 1266 | ---- |
| 1267 | * FriendToBugs: Justified as his team is based around Bug-type Pokemon. |
| 1268 | * AntiClimaxBoss: [[invoked]] Joe's fire moves lay waste to not only Burgh's team, but his entire gym! |
| 1269 | |
| 1270 | !!Elesa |
| 1271 | The electric-type gym leader of Nimbasa City. This gym leader is never shy to bring up her modeling career. |
| 1272 | ---- |
| 1273 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Mal seems to think she's attractive as well. |
| 1274 | * HeadTurningBeauty: Every time she enters the room, Derek [[AllMenArePerverts can't help but react.]] |
| 1275 | |
| 1276 | !!Clay |
| 1277 | The ground-type gym leader of Drieftveil City. The Miner King who wields the power of the Master Emerald and [[WakeUpCallBoss a powerful team to boot.]] |
| 1278 | ---- |
| 1279 | * {{Cowboy}}: Has the look and the accent of one. |
| 1280 | * HeroKiller: [[spoiler:Kills off five party members with his Excadrill.]] |
| 1281 | * HeroicRematch: The first in the series to warrant one. [[spoiler:Derek's first battle against him ended in a tragic defeat, taking the lives of five party members. After weeks of TrainingFromHell for the gang, they go against Clay one more time. Round 2, however, ended in Derek's victory.]] |
| 1282 | * IdiotBall: Salty holds it while going up against him, despite everybody else's protests. He purposefully brings only five party members, and doesn't even consider type advantages. [[spoiler:This leads to the highest death count yet! What makes this example worse is that Mikeydeez* sweeped Clay during the rematch with Hi-Jump Kicks.]] |
| 1283 | * SenselessSacrifice: [[spoiler:The first party managed to take out his Excadrill, leaving Sauerkraut alive. As well as a Palpitoad. The Palpitoad wins, leaving the fight entirely for naught.]] |
| 1284 | * WakeUpCallBoss: [[spoiler:Easily the greatest challenge Derek comes across in his journey, as his Excadrill wipes out five members of his team.]] |
| 1285 | |
| 1286 | !!Skyla |
| 1287 | The flying-type gym leader of Mistralton City. Has her own airfield and has some drama with a certain Magnezone. |
| 1288 | ---- |
| 1289 | * AnticlimaxBoss: Compared to Clay, Skyla was a pushover. |
| 1290 | * NoodleIncident: Has some grudge against Gerber over a skydiving video the two did. It's never fully explained what happened but it was enough for Gerber to acknowledge the beef between them. |
| 1291 | |
| 1292 | !!Brycen |
| 1293 | The ice-type gym leader of Icirrus City. |
| 1294 | ---- |
| 1295 | * AnticlimaxBoss: Derek and the group deal with his gym with little trouble, to the point where they {{Lampshade}} how much they overestimated the fight. |
| 1296 | |
| 1297 | !!Drayden & Iris |
| 1298 | The dragon-type gym leaders of Opelucid City. While they both act as gym leaders, you only fight one depending on the game. |
| 1299 | ---- |
| 1300 | * ActionPolitician: Drayden is not only the leader of his own gym, but also acts as the mayor of Opelucid City. |
| 1301 | * VillainOfAnotherStory: While Drayden acts as gym leader in Black, Iris is the gym leader of Pokemon White. |
| 1302 | ** Also applies to the sequel games VideoGame/PokemonBlack2andWhite2, where she acts as Champion of Unova. |

| 1312 | ---- |
| 1313 | |
| 1314 | !!Grimsley |
| 1315 | The dark-type user of Unova's Elite Four. |
| 1316 | ---- |
| 1317 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: The only member of Unova's Elite Four that could defeat one of Derek's Pokemon [[spoiler:specifically, Mikeydeez*.]] |
| 1318 | |
| 1319 | !!Caitlin |
| 1320 | The psychic-type user of Unova's Elite Four. |
| 1321 | ---- |
| 1322 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: She may sleep constantly, but one battle with her shows she has earned every last wink of sleep. [[spoiler:Coach Cos learned that the hard way.]] |
| 1323 | * {{Sleepyhead}}: Her entire motif is being constantly sleepy. |
| 1324 | |
| 1325 | !!Alder |
| 1326 | The Champion of Unova's Pokemon League. |
| 1327 | ---- |
| 1328 | * SpeaksFluentAnimal: Is able to understand and talk to Sauerkraut. |
| 1329 | * VillainOfAnotherStory: Although Alder exists as a post-game boss and defeating him then would officially make the player the Champion of Unova, Derek chooses not to do the league again and ends his adventure after beating Ghetsis. |
| 1330 | [[/folder]] |
| 1331 | !!Paldea |
| 1332 | |
| 1333 | [[folder:Notable Residents]] |
| 1334 | !!Nemona |
| 1335 | Peppy’s first rival |
| 1336 | * AccidentalMisnaming: Her name is frequently mispronounced as [[DiseasedName Pneumonia]]. |
| 1337 | * HeroKiller: [[spoiler:Her Skeledirge kills Mall and Christene's with three Terastalized Torch Songs. Luke and Cookie would later fall to the very same Skeledirge as well.]] |
| 1338 | ---- |
| 1339 | |
| 1340 | !!Arven |
| 1341 | Peppy’s second rival |
| 1342 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Narrowly subverted. While walking with Mall to get enough steps in for her to evolve, Derek unknowingly walks into the trigger for Arven to call the player and warn them about the Open Sky Titan, recalling Mall into her ball. The group thought Mall needed 1000 ''consecutive'' steps to get her to evolve and that the call had undone their progress, but luckily it wasn't the case, and she only needed 1000 total. |
| 1343 | * StrawMisogynist: Given the trait of hating women after ignoring Nemona during his first appearance. |
| 1344 | [[/folder]] |
| 1345 | |
| 1346 | [[folder:Gym Leaders]] |
| 1347 | !!Katy |

| 1354 | |
| 1355 | !!Iono |
| 1356 | The Electric-type gym leader of Levincia. |
| 1357 | ---- |
| 1358 | * HeightInsult: Turns out that overlay of her that pops up during her Gym Test isn't PaintingTheMedium, but instead her actual height. The team is quick to dig into her over it. |
| 1359 | * MachineMonotone: The voice Derek gives her with the use of a voice changer sounds close to a text-to-speech program due to the flat inflection he gives her. {{Invoked|Trope}}, as he was trying to sound similar to the [=TikTok=] TTS. |
| 1360 | * OpponentInstruction: Has a problem with saying out loud which Pokemon or moves she hopes Peppy doesn't use, and is then shocked when he does just that. |
| 1361 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: After someone comments her hair colors resemble the trans flag, she goes out of her way to clarify she's transphobic. |
| 1362 | |
| 1363 | !!Kofu |
| 1364 | The Water-type gym leader of Cascarrafa |
| 1365 | ---- |
| 1366 | * GroundhogDayLoop: Causes one to happen after he loses to Peppy (in actuality the game had crashed). |
| 1367 | * TheDogWasTheMastermind: It's jokingly suggested that the overly-excited older woman NPC right behind Kofu during his fight is the one REALLY causing the time loop, just because she's so big of a fan of Kofu that she doesn't want to see him lose. |
| 1368 | * MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight: The crash that happens after the first fight against Kofu is contextualized as him resetting the timeline to get another chance to win. And considering some of his Pokémon get a move in when they were previously steamrolled over, he almost succeeds. |
| 1369 | * SequentialBossFight: Inadvertently becomes this when the game crashes after defeating him the first time, forcing the team to fight him again with a couple more close shaves than last time. |
| 1370 | |
| 1371 | !!Larry |
| 1372 | The Normal-type gym leader of Medali |
| 1373 | ---- |
| 1374 | |
| 1375 | !!Ryme |
| 1376 | The Ghost-type gym leader of Montenevera |
| 1377 | ---- |
| 1378 | * HeroKiller: [[spoiler:Ryme's battle takes out four Pokemon, coming dangerously close to a TotalPartyWipe. Her Toxtricity alone has the dubious honor of taking out the most team members this season on its own, killing [=GrAce=] and Hannah with a Discharge and inflicting Blorpido with paralysis before landing a deadly Hex]]. |
| 1379 | * SilverFox: Everyone can't help but notice Ryme's curves, thanks to how tight her dress is. Most of the group isn't really attracted to her, though... [[LikesOlderWomen besides Hannah]]. |
| 1380 | |
| 1381 | !!Tulip |

| 1397 | * SophisticatedAsHell: PlayedForLaughs as after line after line of flowery language, he gives up and just yells "Fine, take truck!" as he unleashes his Starmobile onto Peppy. |
| 1398 | |
| 1399 | !!Ortega |
| 1400 | A Fairy-Type specialist and the boss of the Ruchbah Squad |
| 1401 | ---- |
| 1402 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: He isn't able to ''kill'' him, but he pulls this on Joe by exploiting his own Seed Sower ability to keep using Steel Roller when he'd normally only use it once. |
| 1403 | |
| 1404 | !!Eri |
| 1405 | A Fighting-Type specialist and the boss of the Caph Squad |
| 1406 | ---- |

| 1408 | * CurbStompBattle: Due to her status as ThatOneBoss, Peppy and the team enter her fight shitting themselves in fear. [[spoiler:To their absolute shock, Brady ''destroys'' her entire team, all on his own]]. |
