----
=== This work provides examples of: ===
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Brock's ethnicity isn't very clear; not even Dexter knows what he is.
* [[And Call Him George]]: Ash when he meets Pikachu for the first time. Pikachu, of course, responds as you would expect.
Line 25 ⟶ 24:
* [[Discontinuity Nod]]: Episode 8 begins with the narrator describing two episodes Box of Danger never abridged, prompting Ash to exclaim, "That stuff never happened!"
* [[Does Not Like Men]]: Erika, and her staff at the perfume shop and the gym.
* [[Dude, Not Funny]]: Occurs in-universe after Brock's suggestion to use a bird to find dry land, inspired by something a man named, "Noah" did in a book he read, only results in the gang finding Team Rocket's unconscious bodies:
{{quote| '''Misty:''' That book you read must have been full of crap, Brock!<br />
'''Brock:''' [[Sarcasm Mode|Yeah, Misty. That's a]] ''[[Sarcasm Mode|very]]'' [[Sarcasm Mode|smart thing to say.]] [[Don't Explain the Joke|About the Bib-]]<br />
Line 33 ⟶ 32:
* [[Eyecatch]]: Episode 13 contains a parody of "Who's That Pokémon?" in which {{spoiler|a silhouette of Raichu transforms into Kangaskhan during the reveal.}}
* [[Filler]]: Episodes 12 and 16 send our heroes to "[[The Twilight Zone|The Filler Zone]]"
* [[Five -Man Band]]:
** [[Idiot Hero]]: Ash
** [[The Lancer]]: Pikachu
Line 42 ⟶ 41:
* [[Global Ignorance]]: After Ash suggests in episode 10 that they take Route 24 to Vermillion City, the narrator points out that Route 24 actually leads into the opposite direction of Vermillion City. No one listens.
* [[Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress]]: After Ash gets crushed by a chandelier, Misty and Brock curse gravity for killing their ally, and even threaten to sue.
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice]]:
** Takahata101 voiced Lt. Surge in episode 13.
** KaiserNeko voiced the Tentacruel in episode 17, and it sounds similar to [[Lupin III]] as a result.
Line 65 ⟶ 64:
* [[Jiggle Show]]: Misty's sisters perform one in episode 7.
{{quote| '''Ash:''' [[Raging Stiffie|Why did my pants get so tight?]]}}
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|The Mighty Butterfree, [[Yank the DogsDog's Chain|at the end of the same episode where he finds a wife]].}}
* [[Large Ham]]: The Mighty Butterfree
* [[Leitmotif]]:
Line 80 ⟶ 79:
'''Pikachu:''' Screw that! I f-ing live for the piano! }}
* [[Never Say Die]]: After Ash expresses obliviousness towards the concept of death in episode 10, Dexter and Brock inform him that Charmander will actually "go to sleep for a really long time" if the flame on its tail ever goes out.
* [[Off -Model]]: Occasionally lampshaded.
{{quote| '''James:''' ''(to Jessie)'' Lord, you're hideous without your lipstick. Please put it back on!}}
* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]: As Ash, Misty, and Pikachu hang for dear life off of a falling bridge, a "scene missing" card appears. By the time the episode resumes, the three of them have reached land, and Ash admires the "amazing stunt" they pulled.
Line 91 ⟶ 90:
* [[Something Completely Different]]: Episode 18 played out as an episode of "Pokémon: The Traditional Abridged Series," retelling "The Ghost of Maiden's Peak" with minimal jokes and several of the weirdest scenes cut out. This episode proved [[Love It or Hate It|polarizing]] as a result.
* [[The Talk]]: Misty gave it to Ash. Apparently, a woman becomes pregnant after a Beedrill stabs her.
* [[Take That]]: After [[Little Kuriboh]] produced a ''[[Naruto the Abridged Comedy Spoof Series Show]]'' short in which Iruka produced a "Dangerous Box" which "tells you how bad your material is, and produces absolutely nothing of value," Master WGS released a video in which Ash tried to become a comedian by over-killing [[Forced Meme|Forced Memes]], making an exorbitant amount of [[Shout Out|Shout Outs]] and also some [[Overly Long Gag|Overly Long Gags]], and finally turning into a [[Small Name, Big Ego]]. Although, Little Kuriboh apparently ''had'' given Master WGS permission to insult him like this.
** "An Electric type in a Rock Gym? [[Super Smash Brothers|That's as logical as putting a tripping mechanic in a fighting game.]] You just shouldn't do it!"
* [[They Just Didn't Care]]: Brock lampshades this in-universe as he gets constantly annoyed with misappropriations of such terms as "psychopath" and "psychic-ologist" in relation to being psychic.
Line 101 ⟶ 100:
* [[The Unintelligible]]: Charmander
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: Misty seems completely unfazed at Ash's becoming a ghost.
* [[Whole -Plot Reference]]: Episode 15 has a format similar to a ''[[Lost]]'' episode, switching between the characters stranded in Pokémon Land and flashbacks to their escape from the sunken St. Anne.
