* MeddlingParents: Dan's parents ground him after they find out about his Skype.

* FridgeBrilliance: Chapter five's title is "The Homecoming Invasion." This is appropriate for two reasons: 1) It's the night of Bulbagarden High's Homecoming dance on which Serebii's forces invade, and 2) Serebii used to live in Bulbagarden. By invading it, he's "coming home."

-->This is a fic based on the users of Bulbagarden. It portrays Bulbagarden as a quaint little town, which as everyone knows is a good backdrop for any story. Enjoy.

* [[spoiler: AlternateUniverse: The so-called "Bulbaverse" is just one world in a multiverse of worlds, one of which was home to [[BigBad the Pokemon Prince.]]]]

* BigBad: Joe Serebii. [[spoiler: Or is he...]]
** [[spoiler: He isn't.]]

This is the world of Bulbagarden!, a fanfic by Jabberwocky, which satirizes the Pokémon fandom, Bulbagarden Forums in particular. The characters are almost all {{Expies}} of various Bulbagarden users. The story is divided into "seasons." So far, two seasons have been completed, and a third is ongoing. Five seasons are planned.

* The plot of season two: The Pokemon Prince becomes the mayor of Bulbagarden, [[spoiler: having apparently kidnapped Alison at the end of season one,]] and immediately begins ruling the town with an iron fist. Jabber and company flee the town, but Feli is left behind to form a resistance movement. [[spoiler: After a year, the United Nations sanctions Jabber's group to return to Bulbagarden, in order to begin the battle to liberate it. After joining up with feli's resistance, the war begins, but as the final battle commences, the Prince reveals himself to be a [[EvilCounterpart corrupted version of Jabber from another universe]], Alison is freed, and all hell breaks loose.]]
* The plot of season three: Season three is a bit of a [[BreatherEpisode Breather Arc]] after the drama-heavy Pokemon Prince storyline, and features the core cast in a tour around the world, hunting for legendary Pokemon. While in the Isshu region, the gang was accompanied by Burgh Entemo, the Gym Leader of Castelia City. [[spoiler: Season three also features the return of the Pokemon Prince, though he doesn't stick around for long: he's ultimately killed by Jabber.]] Season three also features the decriminalization of sport Pokemon battling. The ramifications of this have yet to be seen.

You may read the story [[http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=75338 here]].
Also, it has a [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/ptitlevlurmh7k character page]]. Please put all tropes that apply to characters there, not here.

And always remember: It's satire. Damn good satire (to quote Ryuutakeshi), and you really shouldn't take it seriously.

** Karen Starr is meant to be Karen of the Elite Four, but also happens to be PowerGirl's alias.

** Jack makes mention of using sand and gunpowder to make explosives. [[BlatantLies We're not sure what that]] [[{{Minecraft}} references.]]

* SureWhyNot: When the pacing of the story was challenged, it was brought up that it made [[FridgeBrilliance perfect sense]], as events always happen fast on forums. The author's response is obvious.

** If this page is any indication, it's more like [[IncrediblyLamePun Speech of God]]

** Aaron's Houndoom, Victor, is a shout out to Victor Von Doom of the FantasticFour.

* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Averted with Smugleaf and Biff.
** As well as Saturn's Sazandora.
** Played straight with Serebii's Charizard, though.

** If this page is any indication, it's more like [[IncrediblyLamePun Speech of God]]

* ThisIsSparta: [[spoiler: "Are. You. With. Me."]]

** Sonichu gets one. MakesSenseInContext. [[YourMileageMayVary Kinda.]]

Imagine a world where, until recently, {{Pokemon}} battling was a banned activity in many regions, and where several Pokemon species are banned or restricted to own. It's a world much like our own, in fact... but with Pokemon thrown in.

{{Pokemon}} battling and some Pokemon ''species'' are banned. Kanto and Johto are one country. No evil teams. Seven Pokemon a person. And that's just scratching the surface.

This is the world of Bulbagarden!, a fanfic by Jabberwocky, which satirizes the Pokémon fandom, Bulbagarden Forums in particular. The characters are all {{Expies}} of various Bulbagarden users. The story is divided into "seasons." Season one is currently over, and season two is on the works.

So far, they've been accompanied by Burgh Entemo, the Gym Leader of Castelia City. [[spoiler: Season three also features the return of the Pokemon Prince, though he doesn't stick around for long: he's ultimately killed by Jabber.]]
