Frontier Isle Tropes

The FI Tropes! Consider this page a serious case of 'just for fun'. Here we focus on different people on the forum, along with different events and come up with tropes for them.

Frontier Isle
Tropes listed here allude to the RPG overall, rather than a specific section of it.
 * Come For The X, Stay For The Y: Many members joined Frontier Isle either because they were interested in the idea overall, they played it on Marshtomp's Mudpit or because Ross asked them to. A lot of the members have stuck around for some of the newer features.
 * Cosmetic Award: The Awards distributed on Frontier Isle, of course.
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: Just about every major fail made by the referees or when serious overkill ensues. Ross is particularly good at selling overkills.
 * No Export for You: The case with The Underground. The feature enjoyed success in its Beta on Marshtomp's Mudpit but flopped after the full version was release. Despite initial assertions of Underground's reboot, The Underground was eventually canned entirely.

Frontier Isle RPG

 * There Is No Kill Like Overkill: To say this has happened once or twice would be an understatement. It's an uncommon event on Frontier Isle for a Pokémon with mega boosted stats to hit a super effective move and, likely, get a critical hit. The record is held by Ross' Scyther - after Swords Dancing three times (to hit maximum Attack) to take out Servbotfan003's Druddigon, the Scyther then proceeded to attack the next Pokémon with X-Scissor. It was a Poochyena, which suffered nearly 3,000 HP in damage.

FI: Pro Mode

 * Lost Forever: So far, it seems like pretty much everything people have earned throughout Pro Mode's lifespan is this. This has been averted. It was confirmed at Frontier Night 5 that there will be a form of recovery system. This trope is still in force for a lot of things done in Pro Mode.

Frontier Isle Plus

 * Ascended Extra: Frontier Isle Plus never existed initially. The idea actually started out as The World Plus, which was an add-on for The World. However, after realising the potential, Ross decided to expand it to become Frontier Isle Plus.
