Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball is a series of Japanese baseball arcade-simulation games published by Konami and developed by Powerpro Production (previously known as Diamond Head) ever since 1994. It is one of the most long running sport series with a lot of spinoffs in Japan, though English-speaking countries tend to know the series by its Americanized spinoff series MLB Power Pros.The series is known for its unique character designs. They're short, small, have a big head, no nose, no mouth and no legs. Another feature the series is famous for is the unique "Success Mode", which is a game mode where you create your own character, advance through a story mode, develop his baseball stats and finally get to use the character freely after you've completed the Success Mode. Two of four MLB Power Pros series are the only of series that have been translated into English from the results that Japanese baseball players were able to MLB league, thus the proper licensing and uses of the Major League Baseball elements. The rest of the series is associated with the Nippon Professional Baseball league (NPB), resulting in no localization outside Japan.Since 1999 a sister series called Powerful Pro-kun Pocket was developed for Nintendo's portable systems. It lasted until 2014 after 14 main installments and a spinoff. Its stories were darker and more fantasy-oriented, especially in the case of its alternate "Inner Success" story modes, which frequently had little to do with Baseball and featured turn-based RPG mechanics.It has appeared in two Konami crossovers, Konami Krazy Racers and DreamMix TV World Fighters. Since 2020, with Konami entering e-Sports scene, eBaseball has been one of Konami's flagship E-Sports titles alongside eFootball Winning Eleven / Pro Evolution Soccer (though eBaseball does not have a PC version unlike Konami's other e-Sports titles).In 2023, after so long since the MLB Power Pros entries, Konami suddenly released WBSC eBASEBALL: Power Pros to Western audiences in partnership with the World Baseball Softball Confederation. It is a heavily stripped down version of the typical Power Pros game containing only the baseball simulator and focused on online matches, but is sold for only a dollar. | |

Fake Longevity | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_14184bc7 | comment |
Fake Longevity: In some of the latter Pawapoke games you need coins to unlock things such as the Inner Success mode and minigames, but normally you only get 1 coin times the amount of successful Success runs you have. To earn more coins at once at the end of a run you need to forfeit both your character and the right to view what epilogues you earned and the chance to unlock any new ones at the gallery. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Success modes labeled as hard mode tends to have darker plots than others. MLB Power Pros 2009's plots and characters are more dramatic than the previous translated title. Powerful Pro-kun Pocket games have more serious story lines than the main series despite the already cartoonish art style being more crude. The original one involves a criminal Baseball organization and sets a standard. Make the wrong choices and you'll see the protagonist mourning before certain graves at the end of the story. Then the sequels went and made Kameda's death and the protagonist's forced marriage to Norika canon. The Cyborg story from Powerful Pro-kun Pocket 3. The protagonist from the original game died in an accident and has been revived as a robot slave for his now evil "friend" Kameda. If you screw up, you can get drowned by the mafia, have your corpse tossed in a junkyard, get imprisoned to death inside a box and get beaten into submission by Kameda. Several dateable girls and the Littlest Cancer Patient will die if you fail their questlines. The Mysterious Happiness Island story from Powerful Pro-kun Pocket 6. After the Wakura factory becomes bankrupt, you're sent off to a concentration camp to work for a Nazi-esque army that deals with arms trafficking, performs Psycho Serum experimentation on humans and terrorizes the natives of the island. You can get executed if you slack off or addicted to drugs if you depend on them to refill your health meter. The bad endings involve you turning into their lackey or otherwise allowing them to continue their operations until the island is riddled with graves. If you defeat the BB army, then the most symphatetic of their enforcers ends up sentenced to death by firing squad, though she doesn't regret it. If you had befriended her through the story, you get to see her die. | |

| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: The aforementioned failure screens aside, each Success Mode has a bunch of Where Are They Now epilogue scenes that play if you build a relationship with one or more characters just right or horribly wrong. One odd mechanic is that the series lets you forfeit the chance to see the ending and erase your character in exchange for more coins to unlock stuff with. | |

Companion Cube: In Pawapoke Dash, the protagonist carries around a baseball that contains the soul of his father. He's not really Invisible to Normals, but the boy avoid drawing attention to him until everyone demands he explain what's going on. Also in Dash, Momoko is the personification of a tree who can't leave her surroundings and that only the protagonist and his poltergeist dad can see and talk to. | |

Status Effects | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_2639f6eb | comment |
Status Effects: Certain events will inflict a physical or mental illness on Power Pro, requiring the player to use a turn to take him to a doctor or a therapist. For a chance to get healed. And for only one status at a time. Certain statuses give penalties on each turn or make Pro unable to train properly. And as mentioned before, getting lovestruck is bad news: you're forced to have a date on the next turn and Pro might get hit by a truck afterwards. A particularly nasty one is the addiction to gachapon in Pawapoke 5 and 6. There are certain events, some optional, some mandatory, where the local glasseye dude asks you for money to buy action figures and other nerdy stuff. If you go along with that enough times, the protagonist gets addicted as well and begins randomly wasting turns to go to the toy store. This status cannot be healed. The game even plays an ominous cutscene like you got a game over and enables a bad epilogue for the ending. | |

Karma Meter: Pawapoke 3 has one. If you'e a good guy you forgive Kameda and get your humanity restored at the end of the story. If you're a bad guy, you'll help Kameda in his evil ways and will keep living as a cyborg. The real challenge is to be a so-so guy, which makes the protagonist want to kick Kameda's ass at the end. | |

Reused Character Design: Different incarnations of Power Pro-kun and his glassy friend Akio Yabe exist concurrently over the course of the series. And when somebody from the Glasses Clan isn't available, somebody else with nerdy glasses shows up in their place. In games that have a second Success mode, you'll surely see alternate versions of characters from previous stories as well. | |

Limit Break | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_2afb1a9 | comment |
Limit Break: A team's players in Pawapoke 14 share a super gauge with 5 slots. Once a slot is used, you skip over having to aim your swing or throw but the opponent can counter with their own super move and then you'll both duke it out via button smashing. Depending of character, a super move will come out in a power level up to 3 depending of the current meter you have or regardless of it. A successful level 2-3 super will result in either a strike-out or a home run. | |

Older Than They Look: Every game has a Power Pro and a Glasses Clan member who generally look the exact same as each other regardless of their age. Though it is downplayed in the Power Pros' case as their appearance is meant to be a blank state. In cutscenes, child characters are actually depicted as being smaller than adults. | |

Once an Episode: Nearly every Pawapoke has the following events: The protagonist receives some kind of tutorial from a character who explodes once he's done. It was just a dream. The protagonist hears he'll get fired, crippled or even killed if he doesn't live properly for the next 3 years. The poor guy then makes either just the "scribble" shocked expression or all of them in a row. At the end there will be a shot of the Gundar Robo or some kind of kaiju emerging from a cityscape for some kind of final battle. | |

| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_391aa30b | comment |
You ALL Look Familiar: Before the MLB games, every player in the actual gameplay has only one appearance. You also can't change your look outside skin color. This is quickly inverted into Cast of Snowflakes since then. | |

Unintentionally Unwinnable | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_3ac5110b | comment |
Unintentionally Unwinnable: There's so much that could go wrong in a playthrough. Quest lines that involve minigames, for a minor example, get harder with each minigame cleared. In Pawapoke 7, do not let the block-matching game be the last, as the CPU is nigh invincible on difficulty 4. | |

Recurring Boss | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_3bb81225 | comment |
Recurring Boss: In the Gradius minigame in Pawapoke 4 you fight a Core as a boss several times. On each battle it wields different powers and then flees when defeated, except at the very end when you can finally shoot it dead. | |

Musical Nod | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_3e24cb38 | comment |
Musical Nod: The secret final boss for Pawapoke 6's Happiness Island Edition is designed after the Impact battles from the SNES Ganbare Goemon games, so the battle theme begins with the same notes from the original. The epilogue theme for Pawapoke Dash is a variation of the one from 5, which was the previous game to feature Suguru, the protagonist's uncle (8 was released before Dash but takes place later in the timeline). | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Mao Serizawa's story in Pawapoke 7 is completely luck-based. You get her phone number after some events randomly play several weeks into the story. Dating her and letting her choose where to hang out has a chance of resulting in special plot-important events. Confessing to her, if successful, triggers either a Bittersweet Ending or a happy one (you can tell by a minor change in one line). When trying to save her from Ranger Pink, there's a chance for Mao to die in a Heroic Sacrifice even if you pick the correct choice (C), unless you happen to have a special item that enables an alternate one (E). Said item is only received in an event that plays if you hook up with Mao as soon as possible. | |

Happily Ever After | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_41271766 | comment |
Happily Ever After: The first Power Pro from the Pocket series gets forced to marry Norika and is very displeased about it. Then he dies in an accident. In 2 Norika might get her hands on the second Power Pro as well, ending the game on a similarly painful note. The trope is played straight in several other endings across the series, though, and some even show the local Power Pro and his chosen love interest having children. | |

Denial of Animality: Igumori in Pawapoke Dash insists she's human but has dog ears and her dates all involve playing with her like she's one. Turns out she's really a dog who was run over by a car and then granted another chance at life as a hybrid by the Baseball God. However, it is only temporary unless she's on the winning team of a national-level competition and... there's not enough time. She either dies alone and miserable or at peace depending on whether Power Pro befriends her or not. | |

It's a Wonderful Failure | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_45e41b66 | comment |
It's a Wonderful Failure: The series is filled with horrible game overs and bad endings where Pawapuro-kun is forced to give up his dream, gets fired and is forced to live on the streets or even gets outright killed. Pawapoke 3 can end with the protagonist being drowned by the mafia, dumped in the trash after dying from exhaustion or locked inside a small container until he dies. If he duels Kameda in the end and loses, it isn't a game over but he becomes his slave and the epilogue shows the villain reviving the Propeller organization. When you hit a mine in the Minesweeper minigame in Pawapoke 3 you get a harsh screen shake, a child's voice saying "huh uh" in a mocking tone, a screen showing all the items you've lost and finally a scene of Power Pro lying severely injured on the ground. If you return to the future at the end of Pawapoke 6, the game guilt-trips you for leaving all your friends behind. Also from 6, in Happiness Island Edition, you can get executed by the soldiers of the neo-nazi/Unit 731 pastiche Blood Butterfly army or Eaten Alive by a giant frog-scorpion hybrid. Both cases end with Oda looking distraught after making you a grave. In some other failure conditions, you die and nobody even finds your corpse. Another bad ending has you turning out such a good lackey that you get promoted to a soldier and start pushing Oda and the rest of your former friends around with mad eyes. In Pawapoke 7 it is possible to end up brainwashed and join the psycho Pocket Rangers or to be defeated and imprisioned along with everyone into a creepy-ass crayon drawing as Red and the other Rangers resume their conquest of the country. And in the alternate Taisho Adventure story, getting killed results in a cutscene showing the consequences in detail and ends with a shot of a vandalized statue that was made in your memory. | |

You Have Failed Me: In Happiness Island Edition you have to manage the "Dog Meter". If you fail to serve the Blood Butterfly army properly and it drops to zero they'll execute you in cold blood. You don't want the meter to fill all the way, either, as that will trigger the ending where you turn into their madly loyal soldier. | |

Ranger Black/Mao is the most human-like among them because she isn't instilled with an obssession for victory and power. She becomes a normal person by the end of the story. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Regarding Power Pro games: The first Power Pro with a Success mode was 3. It didn't have many features and had a small cast of characters which didn't include a eyeglass friend. Even the "終" game over screen hadn't been thought up yet. Regarding Power Pocket games: The first Pawapoke to have an Inner Success story was 2. 3 was rushed for the Game Boy Advance's launch and didn't have one. Inner Successes were at first locked until the Inners were cleared, but then they made that in-game store that pretty much forces you to sacrifice a successful run to earn enough points to unlock them quickly. The last few games in the series, however, actually let you play both Successes from the get-go. Pawapoke 2 has a Playable Epilogue that lasts until December of the third year. Every other game plays the ending once you clear the tournament or final boss. | |

Cutting Off the Branches | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_52475ffd | comment |
Cutting Off the Branches: Each game has some kind of canon outcome, but a lot of happenings are left just implied or never really resolved from game to game. The canon ending of Pawapoke 1 is getting married to Norika after winning at Toshien. Kameda dies during the attack on Team Propeller's base. Fighting Kameda at the end of Pawapoke 3 is canon, but later installments in the series seem to imply that things turned out in ways that can't happen in the game proper. Pretty much the entire plot of Pawapoke 6 doesn't matter because the game over outcome from losing tournaments is canon and the protagonist is sent off to a heavy labor camp. The Happiness Island mode in the same game then continues the story and defeating Mecha Kameda is its canon outcome. | |

Bookends: Taisho Adventure in the last Pawapoke for the GBA (7) revisits the inventory mechanics from the first (3), among other things. The Dash spinoff released after 8 then reused the quick time event duel that was featured in the final battle of 3. The theme that plays during the end of Pawapoke Dash is a short reprise of the first main theme the game uses. The trailer for Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 2014 begins with a batter hitting a home run. The camera then zooms into a very young Pawapuro-kun, who then manages to catch the ball. At the end of the trailer, Pawapuro-kun manages to hit a home run, the camera then zooms into a kid with a baseball glove... Pawapoke 14 opens with the monochrome title screen from the first game in the series, which shows Pawapuro-kun running towards the screen. Pawapuro-kun then comes closer and becomes colored. The credits for this finale's Success mode also display the title screens of every previous installment. | |

Recurring Character | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_56635771 | comment |
Recurring Character: The hero from Pawapoke 1 is also the protagonist of 3. He's the only Power Pro who appears in more than one game. Yabe Akio is present in every Power Pro game since his debut in 4. Some Yabe lookalikes show up in more than one story. In particular, Kameda (Pawapoke 1) reappears as an antagonist in certain games and Yuda (7, 8), Yamada (4, 6) and Oda (6 — from the Happiness Island story) play a big role in 14 as the protagonist's parents. The three women ball players (Aoi Hayakawa, Mizuki Tachibana, and Hijiri Rokudo) The Rival Ikari Brothers (Mamoru and Suzumu) and Ryo Tomozawa Kageyama The NPB Scout. Mao Serizawa makes some appearances after Pawapoke 7, still working as a sentai heroine. Dr. DaijÅ�bu, a doctor that will find anyone for his research. The Baseball God who appears after a game over has a larger role in some stories. A blonde foreign man appears in pretty much every Pocket game while falling victim to all kinds of accidents. The Arai brothers also show up all the time, even when their sister Norika doesn't. | |

Save-Game Limits | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_5d9ce92c | comment |
Save-Game Limits: The one save slot in the Japanese games' Success mode acts as a quicksave, which deletes itself upon a load or a game over. If a game does not erase the file while it is in play, resetting the game is considered a death and expends one of your continues. MLB Power Pros games allows Save Scumming, otherwise. | |

New Game Plus: From Pawapoke 6 on, you gain a certain amount of points every time you clear a Success mode (more if you forfeit your save). You can use those points to buy starting items for your next playthrough. After clearing Cyborg Edition in Pawapoke 3 three times you unlock a Minesweeper minigame whre you can use your custom characters to earn more stats and skills for them. Of course, tripping on a mine means getting all your hard work scrapped forever. | |

| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: In Power Pro 5 , Gaid� Ky�ji, the same guy who managed to poison your team's bentos last year, managed to make a truck lost control by using a banana peal in hopes to remove Mamoru out of the competetion. What happened instead was Suzumu shoved his older brother out of the way and took the brunt of the accident all by himself. Suzumu was hospitalized, and Mamoru was understandably, pissed. | |

Spirit Advisor: In Pawapoke Dash, the local Power Pro-kun's father gets killed by a baseball to the face and his spirit latches on to it. Failing to take care of the ball is a game over condition, but the man passes away for good at the end of the story anyway once the boy wins a championship. | |

Extended Gameplay | |

Extended Gameplay: With so many games in this series, the dev team has to make each one robust in its own right. Clearing the main Success Mode in a given game lets you use the character you built in Pennant, a Career Mode. Clear that and you'll be allowed to use them in a custom team. Most games in the series also feature a secret love interest for Success Mode and an unlockable story that is fantasy-themed and has RPG mechanics. And then there are minigames on the side, too. The alternate Success mode for Pawapoke Dash is one of the few that continue the main mode's story. | |

Thankfully, they do reconcile at the end and Suguru even adopts the boy. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: There is a lot in those games you might not know are in there even after several playthroughs. In some games, there are dialogue trees where you're under a hidden time limit to choose something. Latter installments give a visible timer for those occasions... and then have the jackassery to sometimes put hidden time limits within those time limits. The games usually have about 6 love interests, with one being locked away in New Game Plus in certain games. But how do you even meet them and get their phone number? How do you successfully hook up with them when repeatedly dating is not enough? Sometimes their questlines are even filled with luck-based elements... Take "Koshien Hero Edition" from Pawapoke 7, for example. The game has no special goals to be achieved every year for you to see the ending and record your character, but to access the final boss and the game's real ending you must follow the Rebellion route and oppose the sentai heroes at every turn. Make one wrong choice and you drop into the standard Submission route. At one point, you must pick the correct dialogue option under a time limit... except you actually have less time (3 seconds) than the timer indicates on-screen. Clearing this route is mandatory to get Mao's good ending. It's tough enough to clear the 5000$ debt in Pawapoke 7's Taisho Adventure mode, but to fight the True Final Boss you need your bag full of good items to get over 90 points in the baseball puppet competition at the last day of the story. This also requires you to figure out pretty much everything about the game and not get unlucky with the random events. | |

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: When a roulette is spun in Pawapoke Dash, landing on a Blue slot gives positive outcomes for the pitcher. Green and Orange generally have positive outcomes for the batter, but depending on the trajectory of the ball some will still result in a lot of blue slots in the final spin. Take notice that in the DS installments they mixed up the colors for some reason and you instead have to get orange slots when playing as the pitcher. | |

Puzzle Boss | |

Puzzle Boss: In Pawapoke Dash's RPG mode, the boss fight can only be defeated by a certain method. It becomes awfully powerful on its second phase but has to cool down every 6 turns. So walk 6 steps, hit him twice and repeat until he's reduced to rubble. The optional boss at the bottom of the dungeon works the same way, but it takes longer to reach the second phase and it has a third one where he fires a powerful beam if you move away from him. | |

Psycho Serum | |

The Mysterious Happiness Island story from Powerful Pro-kun Pocket 6. After the Wakura factory becomes bankrupt, you're sent off to a concentration camp to work for a Nazi-esque army that deals with arms trafficking, performs Psycho Serum experimentation on humans and terrorizes the natives of the island. You can get executed if you slack off or addicted to drugs if you depend on them to refill your health meter. The bad endings involve you turning into their lackey or otherwise allowing them to continue their operations until the island is riddled with graves. If you defeat the BB army, then the most symphatetic of their enforcers ends up sentenced to death by firing squad, though she doesn't regret it. If you had befriended her through the story, you get to see her die. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: We usually never get to know what ever happened to the protagonist of a given game after his adventure since there are so many possible outcomes and the developers are adamant in "preserving the player's imagination". The one time we did was the aforementioned Happy Ending Override from Pawapoke 1 to 3. We last see Kameda scheming something in Pawapoke 5. Then he's never heard of again. Later on the Pawapoke series, we learn a building was set on top of the empty lot from Dash. It is left ambiguous if Momoko the peach tree was left in her place. Suzumu's fate was remain unkown at the end of Power Pro 5's success mode. This is averted however if you consider the story of the spinoff. | |

Abhorrent Admirer | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_88cee6e2 | comment |
Abhorrent Admirer: Norika Arai in Pawapoke 1 and 2. An odd middle-aged woman who falls in love with the original Power Pro and canonically drags him into marriage with some help from her brothers. After his death, she can end up marrying the second Pro as well but this thankfully isn't canon. | |

Back from the Dead | |

Back from the Dead: Kameda from Pawapoke 1 dies in an explosion and is Reforged into a Minion. He turns back into a plain human later. Power Pro #1 dies by accidentally falling off a cliff but Kameda revives him as a cheap cyborg. He also goes back to human form by the end of Pawapoke 3. The "Ball Father" from Pawapoke Dash is only brought back as a ghost with a halo over his head after the Hell Dungeon story but later shows up fully alive and well in 14 via Unexplained Recovery. | |

Sliding Scale of Realistic vs. Fantastic | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_8c99369f | comment |
Sliding Scale of Realistic vs. Fantastic: Pawapuro games have Mundane stories and Pawapoke games have Unrealistic and Unusual stories. The Inner Success modes in the Pawapokes have flat-out Fantastic stories. What's strange, though, is that the actual Baseball gameplay was pretty mundane all across the franchise until the final Pawapoke, which finally gave everyone energy-based super moves. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory!: When the Pawapoke series migrated to the Nintendo DS, they remapped some of the actions. The cursor for the batter also changes to the one from the Power Pro series from 9 on. The card battle mode from Dash appears from Pawapoke 9 and onwards, but there are changes to the rules and the significance of colors in the roulette is mixed up from what it used to be. | |

Luck-Based Mission | |

Certain events will inflict a physical or mental illness on Power Pro, requiring the player to use a turn to take him to a doctor or a therapist. For a chance to get healed. And for only one status at a time. Certain statuses give penalties on each turn or make Pro unable to train properly. And as mentioned before, getting lovestruck is bad news: you're forced to have a date on the next turn and Pro might get hit by a truck afterwards. | |

We Can Rebuild Him: In Pawapoke 1, Suzumu was hospitalized due to a traffic accident and was abducted by the Propeller Team during his stay. He was subjected to many surgeries which boosts his ability as a pitcher and batter considerably. You will see him again donning the persona of Yakyūmasuku(Roughly translates to "The Masked Baseballer") serving the Holy Emperor High School, the game's Final Boss. In Pawapoke 2, the Propeller Team revives Kameda as a cyborg. He's later restored to human form. In Pawapoke 3, we find out the original Power Pro died between games. Not to worry, though, Kameda has him rebuilt as a cyborg. With cheap materials. By the end of the story, Pro gets his mind transferred to a cloned body. | |

Look Both Ways | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_aa0ed8a9 | comment |
Look Both Ways: Traffic accidents are a constant in the Pawapoke games. If Power Pro-kun goes on too many dates in a row he'll get lovestruck and in certain games this can trigger a random event where he becomes so air-headed that he gets run over by a truck. This might not cause an immediate game over but it will do severe damage to Pro's health and even destroy random items in your inventory depending of the game. That event actually is part of a girl's route in Pawapoke 3. She gives her phone number after Pro-kun gets trucked in her place and then gives some items to compensate for his equipment loss. In Pawapoke 13 the protagonist gets hit by a car early in the story and all his stats are set to the F grade. Getting back to form is the main goal of his story. | |

Also from 6, in Happiness Island Edition, you can get executed by the soldiers of the neo-nazi/Unit 731 pastiche Blood Butterfly army or Eaten Alive by a giant frog-scorpion hybrid. Both cases end with Oda looking distraught after making you a grave. In some other failure conditions, you die and nobody even finds your corpse. Another bad ending has you turning out such a good lackey that you get promoted to a soldier and start pushing Oda and the rest of your former friends around with mad eyes. | |

Face–Heel Turn: While Power Pro #1 from the first Pocket game suffers from a Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome his former ally Kameda suffers from a Sudden Sequel Heel Syndrome. After his own appearance as a ressurected cyborg villain in the second game, Kameda revives Pro, but views him as a tool to get rich and make it big on the criminal underworld of Baseball. He's all too willing to sell Pro off or even kill him for failure. Depending on certain outcomes he even uses all the rent money he's been getting from Pro to build a giant robot and then tries to beat the poor guy into slavery. Pro #1 himself can turn evil in the third Pawapoke and choose to help Kameda establish the Neo Propeller Team. One bad ending from Pawapoke 6's Happiness Island story shows the protagonist becoming a madly loyal soldier for the Blood Butterfly army. | |

The End: In most death sequences, "End" shows up in hiragana (��り) The actual endings have a triumphant "Clear" message in katakana first and then show "End" after the credits while Power Pro waves goodbye. The game over screen shows "End" in kanji (終) in blood-red over a silent black screen for most of the series. The latter Pawapoke installments instead have a red background with a stylized black "終" filling out the whole top screen. While the first can be sad to look at, the second is like the game is smugly rubbing your failure in. | |

Timed Mission | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_bb48f8ba | comment |
Timed Mission: Success modes usually span three in-game years. There often is some objective you must achieve before a certain date to prevent a Game Over. In Pawapoke 3 you must raise each of your stats to a certain amount before the end of the first year to get drafted, save several million yen to develop a long-term battery for Power Pro's body before the end of the second and then keep his Memory gauge over 80% to get past the third year. Failure to do any of this results in a Game Over. Taisho Adventure in Pawapoke 7 gives you 200 days to clear a debt of 5000 yen. You must also obtain enough stat enhancers to get a score of 90 at the puppet contest in the final day to fight the true final boss. | |

Knight Templar | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_bbfaa837 | comment |
Knight Templar: The Pocket Heroes in Pawapoke 7 are ruthless justice enforcers. They bring success to the protagonist's baseball team, but only by kicking everyone else out of it. Plus, they end up starting their own secret criminal schemes to further make people depend on them. At first Red is the most level-headed of the Pockets and refuses to misuse his superpowers, but eventually goes mad as well. | |

Non-Standard Game Over | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_c03fec8b | comment |
Nonstandard Game Over: In certain games can get bad endings even after winning the obligatory tournament at the end of a story. Sometimes you get to keep your custom character with penalties to his stats (like if Kameda enslaves Hero 1.3 in Pawapoke 3's bad ending), but in some installments you can end up fired or retired (Pawapoke 6 and 8) and then that's a Game Over screen on your face. | |

Continuing is Painful | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_c3d60914 | comment |
Continuing is Painful: Until Pawapoke 7, a Game Over was just that. It then became the same as a Reset, setting your save file back up to 4 times. Each attempt comes with an increasingly large penalty to your stats and, at worst, your playthrough might be in an Unwinnable state anyway. Once you run out of continues, the game displays a The End message (in blood-red over a silent black background) and deletes your save file. In Pawapoke Dash's RPG mode, the stairs to floors 26+ can only be opened once. If you use a continue at those depths, you'll have to just end your run on the normal ending at floor 25. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Pawapoke 4 and 5 have Gradius minigames. In 6, the hero owns a laser gun that shoots the ring laser ripples from that series. Pawapoke 5 has a Falling Blocks minigame called "Hako de Gucha". It means "Box de Splat", as in "Panel de Pon". It plays nothing like Nintendo's puzzler, though. Pawapoke 6 has a secret final boss which recreates the gameplay of the Goemon Impact giant robot battles from the SNES Ganbare Goemon games. It goes as far as showing Power Pro riding the seat elevator to the mech's head the same way as portrayed in Ganbare Goemon 2 and making a little nod to the battle theme from that game. Pawapoke 8 has a Contra minigame. The game's story is loosely based on Snatcher. | |

No Death Run: One event in Pawapoke 4 requires you to achieve a large score on a Gradius-esque minigame where you only get one life. And by "minigame" we mean that it is a simple but fully-fledged shmup with several short levels and bosses. Good luck. Pawapoke 5 has another Gradius minigame which for better or for worse is significantly shorter. 6 followed suit with a vertical shmup where you fight giant cockroaches. It only has a single boss with two phases. | |

Once or twice per game there's a game over that's a wall of text lamenting your fate with the Arai brothers standing in the background. There's so so many of those that when you open the Gallery menu in Pawapoke 13 it shows a montage of 15. | |

You can summon Pawapuro-kun in the Japanese versions of Scribblenauts and Super Scribblenauts. Power Pro can cosplay as Mario in Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball Heroes.

Oddball in the Series | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_f068cba | comment |
Oddball in the Series: Another game developed by Diamond Head for the Super Famicom was Live Power Pro Wrestling '96 - Max Voltage. It is completely unrelated to this series even in art style despite what the name would suggest. Power Pro-kun doesn't even make a cameo among the Konami wrestlers! Pawapoke Dash presents Baseball matches as a card game with roulettes. In the standard Success mode, because the baseball simulator isn't included at all. Power Pro-kun even reacts in surprise when the battle screen first comes up. It was also odd in that it was released for the Game Boy Advance after the series had migrated to the Nintendo DS. The card game then actually gets added to latter Pawapoke entries until it is redesigned for the final one. Pawapoke Koushien for the DS in 2005 still used the baseball engine from the GBA games. Its storyline was unrelated to the rest of the series, so Konami later stopped considering it a Pocket entry. The sequel Atsumare! Power Pro-kun no DS Koushien still used a modified GBA engine and let you play as a manager. It wasn't advertised as a Pocket game from the beginning. Nettou! Power Pro-kun no DS Koushien was then a board game with its own distinct card battle mechanics and artstyle. One of the Nintendo DS spinoffs was Powerful Golf, which is, well, a golf simulator. | |

But Now I Must Go: The hero of Pawapoke 6 can choose to return to the future at the end of the main story. The game treats this as a game over but shows any available epilogues and gives you points anyway. The hero of Pawapoke 9 can decide to keep wandering the world at the end, which angers the kid he's been helping through the story. Depending of the events followed in the story this can have other good or bad consequences. He can end up abandoning a love interest and the boy who idolizes him, for example. | |

The Not-Love Interest | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_f1e68523 | comment |
The Not-Love Interest: Most of the female ball players including the mentioned three are not date-able, since they are considered team mates rather than love interests. One of the "dateable" girls in Pawapoke 3 is a child whom the protagonist must care for by paying her healthcare. | |

Fission Mailed | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_f3f391f6 | comment |
A particularly nasty one is the addiction to gachapon in Pawapoke 5 and 6. There are certain events, some optional, some mandatory, where the local glasseye dude asks you for money to buy action figures and other nerdy stuff. If you go along with that enough times, the protagonist gets addicted as well and begins randomly wasting turns to go to the toy store. This status cannot be healed. The game even plays an ominous cutscene like you got a game over and enables a bad epilogue for the ending. | |

Different incarnations of Power Pro-kun and his glassy friend Akio Yabe exist concurrently over the course of the series. And when somebody from the Glasses Clan isn't available, somebody else with nerdy glasses shows up in their place. | |

If you return to the future at the end of Pawapoke 6, the game guilt-trips you for leaving all your friends behind. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: The Pro-kun from the original Pawapoke canonically dies in an accident after a forced marriage, is brought back as a cyborg in the third game and has to work his ass off to pay rent and mantain his new body. Ultimately, he does manage to find success and is restored to human form. He even gets a girlfriend he actually likes depending of your choices. The time-travelling Pro-kun from Pawapoke 6 fails to save his boss' factory from bankruptcy without even managing to find the time criminal that was thought to be responsible. Sent to a concentration camp administrated by an evil army, he manages to dismantle them from within and then rebuilds his factory from scratch as the new boss. The Pro-kun from Pawapoke Dash manages to bring both his parents back to life (though they have halos on) at the end of the second Success mode. | |

Together in Death | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_f6624c30 | comment |
Together in Death: Subverted in Pawapoke Dash. The second Success mode sees the protagonist trapped in the Underworld until he walks on his dead parents having lunch. He gets pulled out of there before getting to talk to them, looks sadly at the sky... and realizes they're still right next to him. | |

Last-Second Ending Choice | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_fb2ff597 | comment |
Last-Second Ending Choice: One example can be found in Pawapoke 6. The time-travelling hero might be able to choose whether to return to the future or to start anew in the past. You chose to return? Congratulations: the game plays depressing music over the epilogue sequence, shows every friend you interacted with missing you and displays the blank The End screen you'd get from a game over while your GBA gains a life of its own, invades your fridge and eats all your food. In the same game's Happiness Island Edition, the hero can choose to keep serving under the Blood Butterfly army or to take them down. The standard and canon final boss is Mecha Kameda, but it is possible to instead awaken a giant frog monster who must be fought off with the Gander Robo. | |

Team Pet | |
| Live Powerful Pro Baseball (Video Game) / int_fb9e2ffd | comment |
Team Pet: A recurring puppy (Gundar) usually appears as the series mascot. In-game, it acts as a supporting cast that forces you into extra trainings. The Pawapoke series has a different dog character for each game. | |
