Breaking the fourth wall

"**Breaking the fourth wall**" refers to a point at which a character acknowledges that they are fictional. Several characters appear to break the "fourth wall" a lot more often unlike the series that were inspired.

There are several ways of breaking the fourth wall; examples include when characters refer to a particular episode or season, when characters stop others from performing an occult or criminal act by referring to the fact that it is a "children's show", when characters respond to a real world person who is not physically present (such as the narrator), when characters talk to the viewer or player directly rather than to their in-game avatar, or when characters crash into the screen and either slide down from it or cause it to crack from impact.

## Pocket Monster Set

* Nanette says that her real-world creator originally intened to have her as a 5-year old girl wearing glasses. (The Shining Friendship! Nanette's New Power!)
* Nijiko's mom Haruna (Elizabeth and Flora in the English dub) says that Elizabeth is not her real name and is simply heard that way to American ears.
* Fubuki (Fiona in the dub) points out that "whoever drew me made my eyes larger than my hands."
* Momoka asks Yume why she still has her Cure Parfum hair at the beginning of the theme song, but nothing else. Yume replies "Because our creator is a Sailor Moon fan and *really* likes Moonlight Densetsu." Yume then wonders how the 4 of them are even flying.
* In the English dub, whether the two Floras fight, Bloom stops them by saying that "whoever made Elizabeth's mother didn't realize there was a Winx named after her", which is EXACTLY where Natarīe's anger stems from.
* In the 4Kids dub, when Sugar is asked why her name is Sugar, she replies that her mother liked the name. In the Viz dub, however, Sugar instead replies that it's short for Shugadorimu, saying that even in the 4Kids dub it's still technically a nickname for Shugadorimu.
* Bianca says that Nanette WASN'T a human the first life, and as soon as she says that "her creator intended it", Cheren scolds her, saying "it was deserved for always crashing into people and falling into the water". Hilda then tells everyone to stop talking. (Nanette's Secret?! The Story of the Twin Kings!)
* When Nijiko, Momoka, Fubuki, and Yume are arguing what ice cream flavor to get, Dragonet has a thought balloon of rainbow ice cream, ice cream with real sandalwood chunks, ice cream made with squeezed Spritzee guts and perfume chemicals, and ice cream made with ghost peppers, Tamato Berries, and a glass of Sobble tears to wash it down. She then tears them out of the thought balloon and throws them in the girls' faces. This is also a reference to their design themes.
* Blisy and Asumi once stated that they weren't intended to be sisters.
* When Ash mistakes 'haunted house' for 'Haunter's House' Nanette loses her gentleness and Tackles her friend so hard that Goh scolds her while saying to her and Ash what Professor Ceriese really meant. Nanette then says that she really overdid her personality break. (A Chilling Curse!)
* Sugar, a few hours old, asks her mom why the creators only showed her panting, screaming face during her birth scene. Nijiko starts to say "Because we're not going to show-" but Haruna interrupts with "NIJIKO! THIS IS A KIDS' SHOW!" (Labor Pains, Labor Pains: A Big Day)
* Gloria scolds Victor after the latter said that Fubuki is his sister and that he's part of a step-family. To their chagrin, Nanette interrupts, saying "SERIOUSLY?! VICTOR WAS INTENDED TO HAVE AN UNKNOWN FAMILY!" (The Secret of the Woods Kids and Gloria's Big Upset)
* Momoka, her Spritzee, and her sister Sakura watch the very anime they are characters in on TV. Sakura then asks why the heck "Moonlight Densetsu" is the theme song in a Pokémon series.

## Mega Man Set

* Elec Man sometimes bumps into the screen.

## Winx Club Set

* Bloom smiles at the camera and winks. (An Unexpected Discovery)

## Forever All Stars

* Kristina says that her parents, Bianca and Cheren, "were friendly rivals to the player in Pokémon Black and White Versions". The two adults scold her right after they hear that. (The Next Generation of Adventurers!)

## Pokémon Legends

* In the episode *Nice to Meet You! We're Asumi and Elizabeth*, Nijiko states that all the characters were turned back into teens and preteens after Forever All Stars, and says she is glad to have a floating timeline. Nanette says that the latter statement is incorrect and the universe was remade for the series, which is a direct continuation other than them being kids. Both get scolded by Jim for saying those respective things, much to Asumi's annoyence and Marina's chagrin.
