Pokémon Rusty (Web Animation) | comment |
Pokémon Rusty is a series of shorts by Dorkly parodying the Pokémon franchise while also telling an original story.The story focuses on a 10-year-old boy named Rusty, who lives in Beige Town, a town so insignificant that it's not even on the map. Together with his Kakuna, named "Pikachu"—after his hero Red's favorite Pokémon—Rusty sets out to be the best Pokémon Trainer there is, completely oblivious that he is, in fact, the very worst.The original series ran for 15 episodes. After a 3 year hiatus, the series eventually returned with 5 more episodes airing from March 18, 2017 to May 20, 2017.The entire series can be found here.On October 21, 2017, a Creator-Driven Successor called Pokémon Ralphie debuted, starring a former Bug Catcher named Ralphie who is under the delusion that he is Red's number one rival. | |

Black Comedy: Rusty drowns a Zubat while trying to teach it Surf, shoves multiple Bidoofs into one Poké Ball, and washes a Grimer down the drain, among many other examples. The Pokémon documentary begins with a Seel majestically leaping from the water... followed by a Sharpedo leaping after it and making it lunch. | |

Pokémon Rusty (Web Animation) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Either a variation of this or a fantastical case of Misplaced Wildlife. The series clearly takes place in Kanto, but specifically uses sprites and backgrounds from the third generation gamesnote excluding the overworld sprites of the Pokémon themselves, which appear to be taken from the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. This despite Pokémon from later generations appearing to be found in said region, such as Vanillite from Gen 5 and (most especially) Bidoof from Gen 4. | |

Surprisingly Happy Ending: The story ends with Peanut Butter realizing the error of his ways thanks to Past Rusty and deciding to undo all the terrible things he did, presumably hitting the Reset Button and bringing back to life all the people he killed. He also condemns the real Rusty to spend the rest of his life working at his father's deli, where he will never be able to harm another human or Pokémon. Peanut Butter and Past Rusty (the 'Good Rusty') then leave to have some adventures. | |

Ax-Crazy: Peanut Butter, the perfect, god-like Bidoof, is shown to be very murderous just to make sure that Rusty gets what he wants. And then he heard about how Legendary Pokémon are hunted for profit, and he learned compassion (which Rusty forbade him from remembering because he already had 4 moves) and thirst for vengeance (which Rusty allowed because it sounded cool). So he went ahead and enslaved the world. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: Even Team Rocket is horrified by how Rusty treats his Pokémon, referring to him as a "dumb monster" when they learn he throws away Pokémon who are injured and shoves multiple Pokémon into one Poké Ball. Subverted in a later episode when they recruit him, saying that "a black-hearted trainer like you always has a place at Team Rocket." | |

Street Urchin: Rusty willingly invokes this trope when he essentially abandoned his home to become the greatest "Pokémon Master". Since then, he's admitted out loud that he hasn't seen his parents in months since his father's accident with Snorlax and then later mentions that he's been eating out of garbage cans to survive for a whole year. | |

Kick the Dog: Rusty treats his Pokémon horribly and cares little for their well being. He forces numerous Bidoofs into a single Poké Ball and drowned a Zubat. Before he found out what a Pokémon Center was, he'd just been tossing away the Pokémon he got injured in battle and leaving them to die. That being said, he didn't realize how bad of a trainer he really was. | |

This is ultimately Rusty's fate; After he screwed up La Résistance's plans to topple Peanut Butter's reign, Past-Rusty shows the latter the error of his ways* through sandwiches and he hits the Reset Button on everything he did. Then he subjects Future-Rusty to imprisonment at his father's deli where he'll make sandwiches for the rest of his life without harming another innocent Pokémon or person. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
Pokémon Rusty (Web Animation) / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: His first battle against a youngster's Rattata has Rusty one-shotting it with Kakuna's headbutt. That is, Rusty throws Kakuna at Rattata like a baseball and calls it a headbutt. Even if it was cheating and beyond unorthodox, and is heavily implied to have outright killed said Rattata, it's the only battle Rusty ever wins until Peanut Butter. Rusty vs. the EV Trainer. Rusty's Zubat is only level 6 while the EV Trainer's Clefairy is level 72. All it takes is one hit and Zubat is down. Rusty challenges Blaine to a gym battle when he manages to get to Cinnabar Island. His first choice is a level 2 Vanilite while Blaine chooses a level 42 Growlithe. Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors notwithstanding, the sheer level difference alone assures Vanilite gets melted, despite Rusty's insistence that Vanilite would have the advantage since "Ice is the opposite of Fire." Rusty's second choice is to use a level 12 Venomoth; it gets incinerated. Then a level 11 Cubone, which would deal super-effective damage, but Growlithe is just too high leveled and Cubone gets killed by Growlithe's bite. This is what happens when you try to beat the seventh gym with Pokémon not even strong enough to beat the first and no idea of how type advantage works. Red vs. the Team Rocket member. Red annihilates him with a Charizard, Magneton, and Gyarados while the poor guy can't even manage to bring out a Pokémon to fight back. Red also killed Pikachu the Beedrill (supposedly) and the kidnapped Eevee when he blew up the guy's truck. Peanut Butter vs the Elite Four. It doesn't end well for one of them... | |

However due to Future Rusty being Lethally Stupid, Peanut Butter forces Rusty into working at his dad's deli for the rest of his life, as a slave, with Pikachu being his owner. However, the world is a much safer place as Future Rusty is forced to work at the deli and Past Rusty (the one who never killed Pokémon and people with his stupidity) is off adventuring with Peanut Butter. | |

Pokémon Rusty (Web Animation) / int_420a8323 | comment |
"Snorcrash", however, subverts this when Rusty remembers Team Rocket explaining Pokémon Centers from the previous episode and recalls them saying they were going to burn down the hospital. Knowing this, he opts to put his injured father into a Poké Ball to keep him alive and then catches the severely injured Snorlax. He takes both to the Pokémon Center and gets them healed up of their injuries, including his father's ulcer. A lone moment of the Smart Ball for an otherwise very dense character. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: The EV Trainer. Sure, he insists on insulting Rusty for not knowing his secrets and for trying to have fun, and is extremely blunt, but he is more than willing to help him learn. When Rusty meets him later at the Pokémon Day Care, he learns that Rusty's Beedrill ended up dying. He offers to help Rusty breed a perfect Beedrill to replace it and decides on a perfect Bidoof instead when Rusty says that's all he has. | |

However, this trope is an inversion for everyone else in the story since Rusty being in jail would make everyone better off: Pokémon would no longer die meaninglessly under Rusty's poor handling, his parents could potentially visit and take back their ungrateful ass of a son, and people won't be harmed by Rusty's utter stupidity (causing a forest fire, running over a 10-year old kid, etc). Subverted, unfortunately for the world. Come Episode 16 onwards, where Rusty is freed from prison by his golden Bidoof, which he decided to call "Peanut Butter". Peanut Butter is also shown to have god-like powers. With PB willing to do his every whim, Rusty has so far: broken out of jail and let a whole bunch of murderers free, robbed every trainer in Kanto of their badges (with their corpses being sealed in a blood-stained sack) and brutally murders Agatha of the Elite Four. Be afraid world. Be very afraid... Ultimately averted; After Peanut Butter takes over the world and subjects humanity to his rule, La Résistance sends Rusty back in time using a Dialga to convince his past-self (since Rusty won't listen to anyone but himself) to work at his father's deli so everything he did the entire series won't lead up to this moment. He succeeds, only to redo his entire adventure and repeat everything that happened. However, thanks to Past-Rusty not becoming Lethally Stupid and creating incredible sandwiches, Peanut Butter learns the error of his ways and journeys with Past-Rusty and EV Trainer's Clefa across the stars after undoing everything he inflicted. He also imprisons Future-Rusty at his father's deli to make sandwiches for the rest of his life. | |

Body Horror | |
Pokémon Rusty (Web Animation) / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: The birth defect shiny Bulbasaur, "Burbasaur", which can't vocalize properly and has a festering boil on its back where its bulb is supposed to be. When Rusty tries to use it in a battle, it's level -2 and the only attack it knows is "Organ Failure". Peanut Butter, the perfect Bidoof, beats the Elite Four by causing tiny Bidoofs to burst out of Agatha's eyes and mouth. The other three immediately alter the rules so Rusty replaces her (and doesn't kill them). | |

Fantastic Racism: When Rusty watches a nature documentary with Professor Tree, one scene shows a Mr. Mime being lynched by random bystanders. Rusty's father doesn't seem to have a good opinion on Pokémon, referring to them as "monsters." Although, he could've been just using the term to describe bad people. | |

Plot Hole: A resistance member asks why, if a Rusty stayed home in the new timeline, how the future Rusty would have been picked up by his father if his father believed Rusty never left home. He's murdered before anyone can question this inconsistency. A more gaping one is how Future!Rusty even still exists since he convinced his past self to work in the deli instead of becoming a Pokémon master. | |

After Pikachu Two burns to death, the EV Trainer offers to help him breed a new one, but that plan falls through when Team Rocket runs over the Bidoof/Ditto orgy the EV Trainer had set up. As The Stinger shows, however, a Bidoof still gets made. Only instead it's brightly gold and has a buff, humanoid body. | |

Pokémon Rusty (Web Animation) / int_658f7193 | comment |
Lack of Empathy: Rusty is incapable of understanding the feelings and thoughts of others, human or Pokémon, and is more or less in his own little delusional world of being "the very best Pokémon trainer." He could hardly care less what happens to the Pokémon he owns and hasn't been home in months (essentially abandoning his parents and putting them in debt since he purchased a million dollar bicycle using his dad's credit card). | |

He ordered a bicycle full of illegal drugs and was seen in a smoke-laced Herb Shop toward the end of the series. He also comments that he was high when Rusty went to him and picked up "Pikachu" the Kakuna, which Tree thought was a paperweight. | |

Deconstructive Parody: Of the Pokémon games, mocking many recurring aspects, from criminal organizations to battle styles. Rusty himself seems to be a Deconstructive Parody of the typical player character in Pokémon games, showing why sending a 10 year old who has limited knowledge or experience with Pokémon into the world and out of his home is a terrible idea. On the other hand, 11-year-old Red is played straight as The Ace. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Okay, the "hero" part is kinda stretching it, but in "Legendaries", Rusty and Peanut Butter take a tour of the Safari Zone and see a poacher trying to kill an Arceus. Witnessing mankind's greed firsthand, Peanut Butter learns compassion... but can only know four moves. Rusty, being Rusty of course, thinks that's boring. Then Peanut Butter learns vengeance, kills the poacher, declares that the age of man ruling over Pokémon is over, and makes Rusty his first slave when he tries to make Peanut Butter go back in his Poké Ball. | |

Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors | |
Pokémon Rusty (Web Animation) / int_83b89a9c | comment |
Rusty challenges Blaine to a gym battle when he manages to get to Cinnabar Island. His first choice is a level 2 Vanilite while Blaine chooses a level 42 Growlithe. Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors notwithstanding, the sheer level difference alone assures Vanilite gets melted, despite Rusty's insistence that Vanilite would have the advantage since "Ice is the opposite of Fire." Rusty's second choice is to use a level 12 Venomoth; it gets incinerated. Then a level 11 Cubone, which would deal super-effective damage, but Growlithe is just too high leveled and Cubone gets killed by Growlithe's bite. This is what happens when you try to beat the seventh gym with Pokémon not even strong enough to beat the first and no idea of how type advantage works. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: A small one but in "Team Rocket," Rusty fearfully gives Team Rocket his Poké Balls (about five of them to be exact) and they only open four, which has lead to many questions as to what Pokémon was in the fifth ball. It was likely a Zubat, as Rusty caught three but only two were released. Rusty's parents haven't made an appearance since "Snorcrash". Rusty lampshades this in "Viridian City Gym". | |

Literal Metaphor: During his battle with Blaine, Rusty states he's going to be on Blaine like a moth to a flame. Ignoring that Rusty is using the analogy all wrong, it means being attracted to something; his Venomoth runs right into Growlithe's flames and gets incinerated. | |

Didn't Think This Through | |
Pokémon Rusty (Web Animation) / int_8d0785d5 | comment |
Didn't Think This Through: Rusty breaks into Team Rocket HQ to save his captured Pokémon, with only a Bidoof by his side. His plan is very much like the games: battle each member one at a time until they surrender and give him his Pokémon (and some money). One member of Team Rocket just shoots his Bidoof in the head while reminding Rusty that they're criminals and another points out that it's a dumb plan. The last remaining humans opposing Peanut Butter decide that the only way to save humanity is to use Dialga to send Rusty back in time so he can convince his past self to give up on Pokémon training. They didn't account for future Rusty redoing all the events that led to Peanut Butter's regime. | |

Lethally Stupid | |
Pokémon Rusty (Web Animation) / int_8ef5ae81 | comment |
Lethally Stupid: Rusty. He doesn't understand how HM moves work and tries Strength, Flash, Fly, and Surf to get around a tree that you use Cut on, but, predictably, none of them do the job. He finally refers to Red's twitter and, ignoring the obvious clue to use Cut, lights the tree on fire. This causes a massive wildfire that levels the forest and a nearby town. He puts a Grimer into a bath and tries to wash it off in hopes of there being a legendary bird underneath. It gets Grimer washed down the drain and killed. He plugs in a Tentacool, thinking its tentacles are wires and thus thinking it's en electric type. This gets the Tentacool electrocuted. He stuffs sixteen Bidoofs in one Poké Ball simply because he "ran out." They die as a horrible mass of Bidoofs. He tries to teach Zubat how to use Surf and doesn't realize that Surf and Zubat are incompatible. This leads to Zubat drowning. | |

Laser-Guided Karma | |
Pokémon Rusty (Web Animation) / int_90e31482 | comment |
Laser-Guided Karma: Rusty may not be intentionally malicious, but through a combination of self-centered morality, neglect, or sheer stupidity he ends up doing a lot of bad things in the series, killing several people, Pokémon, and starting a forest fire. During Episode 15, however, it all catches up with him when the police arrest him and throw him in prison for the rest of his life on account of him being responsible for his Beedrill's psychotic nature. Happens again in "Legendaries" where Peanut Butter vows to stop mankind's greed and ruling over Pokémon by enslaving humanity, including Rusty, who seemed to have had the impression that Peanut Butter wasn't being serious about the whole thing and still declared him to be Rusty's slave pet. This is ultimately Rusty's fate; After he screwed up La Résistance's plans to topple Peanut Butter's reign, Past-Rusty shows the latter the error of his ways* through sandwiches and he hits the Reset Button on everything he did. Then he subjects Future-Rusty to imprisonment at his father's deli where he'll make sandwiches for the rest of his life without harming another innocent Pokémon or person. | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom | |
Pokémon Rusty (Web Animation) / int_99ddfcec | comment |
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Blaine. After thoroughly handing Rusty his ass, Rusty begins feeling that his dreams of becoming a Pokémon Master are dashed and that he should just return home and work in his parents' deli. Blaine's pity and giving a "badge" (a seashell) to Rusty causes him to renew his dreams and keep going, which leads to more Pokémon deaths at his hands. Had Blaine done nothing Rusty would have headed home. Had Blaine tried training him then Rusty might have even become competent. The old man who informs Rusty about Hidden Machines, or HMs, when you think about it. Rusty immediately decides to just give up and go home upon encountering a tree that was blocking his path. However, an old man shows up and tells Rusty that what he needs is an HM (which Rusty just so happens to already have on him, having bought some while at the mall). Unfortunately, now that Rusty knows about HMs, he tries to unsuccessfully teach his Pokémon a few of them (including strength, fly, flash, and surf), which lead to the deaths of a few more of his Pokémon (and causing a forest fire in the process). Rusty himself could possibly even qualify. His self-centeredness notwithstanding, all he wants to do is to become a Pokémon Master and a lot of the trouble he causes appear to be unintentional on his part. Julian the EV trainer. Creates the Perfect Bidoof in the episode "How to Create the Perfect Pokémon". Said Bidoof returns in the 2017 episodes, and is shown to be even more destructive than Rusty. Even actually having a bloodthirsty side! | |

Pokémon Rusty (Web Animation) / int_a6123b72 | comment |
Enfant Terrible: Rusty. Only 10 years old, and yet he has done much more horrible, abhorrent actions than your average brat; so much so he gets locked up for life in episode 15. However, Rusty's dumb luck bails him out of jail when the EV birthed Golden Bidoof, renamed "Peanut Butter", breaks his "father" out of jail, thus allowing Rusty to unfortunately continue his misadventures. Then, because of his lack of empathy, he denies Peanut Butter the chance to learn compassionnote since he can only learn four moves and instead allows him to learn bloody vengeancenote because it sounds cool. This paves way for a dystopia for humanity where Pokémon have enslaved them. Nice Job Breaking It, Hero, indeed. | |

Take That!: EV Trainers and "Stop Having Fun" Guys in general are mocked, as one tries to teach Rusty about breeding and EV training. He gets bored halfway through the explanation, and Team Rocket keeps stealing his Pokémon precisely because the EV Trainer breeds such perfect specimens. The song that accompanies his montage of teaching Rusty how to EV train his Pokémon lampshades this. There also seems to be some mocking of Pokémon Battle variations in "Battlehaus." Horde battles in particular; Battle Bart says they're not in the Battlehaus because he passionately considers them "cheap f**king trubbish*t." Pokémon who are considered lame get killed, such as Bidoofs, Zubats, Mr. Mime. Yu-Gi-Oh! gets bashed in "Battlehaus" when Rusty and Battle Bart enter a room with two people playing the game. Both completely skip out on it when the game's name is mentioned. | |

Pokémon Rusty (Web Animation) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Rusty has done many stupid things that almost get him killed, and two Team Rocket members have to explain to him that Pokémon Centers can heal your Pokémon. There are so many instances that it's easier to count the number of times he subverts this. "Snorcrash", however, subverts this when Rusty remembers Team Rocket explaining Pokémon Centers from the previous episode and recalls them saying they were going to burn down the hospital. Knowing this, he opts to put his injured father into a Poké Ball to keep him alive and then catches the severely injured Snorlax. He takes both to the Pokémon Center and gets them healed up of their injuries, including his father's ulcer. A lone moment of the Smart Ball for an otherwise very dense character. | |

Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Rusty has demonstrated several times in the series that he's easily distracted by the littlest things. Notable examples include trying to convince a police officer he's innocent of any wrongdoing and then asking where he got his cop badge from, thinking it was a gym badge (before getting tazed), or "remembering" that he still has to catch Legendary Pokémon... after "battling" the Elite Four (which involves his golden god-like Bidoof named Peanut Butter killing poor, poor Agatha). | |

Pokémon Rusty (Web Animation) / int_bb18a227 | comment |
It's All About Me: Rusty's only concern is his dream to be a Pokémon Master. When Team Rocket captures him and plan to steal his Pokémon? He hands them over and begs them not to kill him without any prompting from them. His Vanillite, Venomoth and Cubone are killed in the battle with Blaine? He breaks down because he lost and didn't get a badge, not because of their deaths. "Ghost Tower" is the biggest offender. When the ghosts of his Pokémon appear, he states, not assumes, they came to tell him not to feel bad, even though he clearly doesn't. Even when they declare their undying hatred of him, he believes they all missed him. | |

The music that plays when Rusty enters the Herb shop in "Pokémon Documentary" is "Is This Love" by Bob Marley. In "The Elite Four", Rusty asks Peanut Butter if they could go to McDewgongs. | |

Turned Against Their Masters: After evolving, Beedrill is quick to ditch Rusty and tries multiple times to kill him. The Pidgey that learns Fly immediately abandons Rusty. The ghosts of all the Pokémon that Rusty has killed meet up with him again at Lavender Tower and not only accuse him of being the worst trainer but implore the dumb bastard to go home. When he remains completely oblivious and callous, the ghost Pokémon just go "Screw it" and try to murder him. Peanut Butter does this to his trainer Rusty and making him one of his slaves after getting tired of mankind's ruling over Pokémon. | |

Blank White Eyes: Subverted. Rusty appears to have these on his small sprite, but his full-body sprite and some art shows that they're actually a pair of glasses. | |

Pokémon Rusty (Web Animation) / int_d9ffec82 | comment |
Blaine. After thoroughly handing Rusty his ass, Rusty begins feeling that his dreams of becoming a Pokémon Master are dashed and that he should just return home and work in his parents' deli. Blaine's pity and giving a "badge" (a seashell) to Rusty causes him to renew his dreams and keep going, which leads to more Pokémon deaths at his hands. Had Blaine done nothing Rusty would have headed home. Had Blaine tried training him then Rusty might have even become competent. | |

Inelegant Blubbering: Rusty begs for his life the second Team Rocket threatens him. Rusty goes into this when the reality of his skill catches up with his delusions. The first time is after being robbed by Team Rocket. Then again after being beaten effortlessly by Blaine. He bounces back not much later though. | |

Pokémon Rusty (Web Animation) / int_f7aa5a02 | comment |
Haunting the Guilty: In "Ghost Tower", Rusty goes to the Pokémon Tower and is confronted by the angry ghosts of all the Pokémon he's accidentally killed, including a Zubat he drowned by trying to Surf on its back, a Tentacool whose tentacles he plugged into an electrical socket, a Grimer he washed down the drain, and a horde of Bidoofs he crammed into a single Poké Ball. Unlike most examples of this trope, he does not feel guilty for their deaths at all, because he's a complete idiot. | |

Pokémon Rusty (Web Animation) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: In every episode Professor Tree appears in, he gets followed by a pair of Pidgeys. Doubles as a Continuity Nod to the first episode, in which he states that his "job" is to count Pidgeys every once in a while. Expect many of the Pokémon that appear throughout the series to die (Bidoofs in particular). | |
