Pokemon Legends Database Wiki/Transformation Trivia

The following trivia concerns transformations:

* Not all travelling companions and main characters have the ability to transform, such as Jim Porter.
* Because of the amount of main characters, the group pose is cut out from all of the group transformations.
* Marie and Yvonne, whose basic transformation is based on Blossom and Marie's dual transformation from *Heartcatch Pretty Cure!*, must always be together to transform, while Charlie and Charlene, despite being twins, do not. This may be a weird thing.
	+ This usually doesn't apply in the canon version.
* The Beautifly-themed Cure (Kira Cho) with a supporting role flies around with wings made of light when she transforms, but the actual wings on her outfit are just a giant decorative back bow that can't fly. This is based on Sailor Moon's second transformation and Eternal Sailor Moon's bow.
* When Nanette transforms into Forever Harmony...
	+ She uses her Fairy Dust bottle to make a star-shape before the transformation starts in the fanon version.
	+ It starts out similar to Forever Lovely's, but her hair is worn completely unstyled and straight when her hair changes style and color in the canon version. Her ÉléChanMirror also looks different.
* When Nijiko gets powered up by the Light of Hope, she *does* get a transformation sequence, but is much shorter compared to the full-time magical characters due to her not having any outfit and her barely changing in appearance. This is changed in the 4Kids dub where she does get a full sequence, although it is still shorter.
* Like most series, the transformation sequences do not actually exist in-universe and are merely just an exaggeration to look cool/provide eye candy.
* Pokémon that have powered-up forms or form changes get similar flashy "step-by-step on a glittery colored background" transformation sequences in the canon version, such as Mega Evolutions, but their sequences are varied and based of various media. For example, Casty's transformation sequence into her weather forms is based on Chibiusa's first transformation sequence (in the fanon version, she simply spins like *Super Why!*), Dragonet's transformation into Ash-Dragonet is based on Rena Rouge's transformation sequence (in the fanon version, it resemble's Sailor Moon's third transformation), and the 4 Cherrims' transformation into their Sunny Forms is based on Itsuki's transformation into Cure Sunshine (in the fanon version, it was entirely original).
* While characters often detransform offscreen in the fanon version in the genre, onscreen detransformations are far more common in the canon version than most series.
* In the canon version, a parody transformation sequence is once shown where Sugar turns on the radio to play the Outer Senshi transformation music, jumps into a pink-colored background, and does all of Nanette's poses/movements wrong while shouting a terrible mispronunciation of the transformation phrase. A whoopee cushion sound then plays, she falls out of the background, hits her head, and then she decides it's much easier to just use the move Transform to turn into the Bulbasaur she wanted to transform into.
	+ Sugar also once briefly uses Transform to turn into a copy of Warrior Sparkle to help since Transform can bypass the need for items by turning directly into the desired thing, but since she's young and inexperienced she ended up not knowing how to use the powers and she quickly dropped the idea.
* It is shown that if a Pokémon that knows the move Transform transforms into a character who must be with a partner to transform (like Yume), their powers will not work despite being able to turn into them. However, they can get around this if another Pokémon transforms into the partner of the character the other Pokémon is transformed into.
* While foods like produce will work for recharging, they are not ideal since they don't have many calories and will take far longer to take effect. This is the reason the Cures (or Dragonet after using her powered-up form) often stuff themselves with otherwise fattening foods like cheesecake, fries, or cookies after transforming, since they won't get fat if all those calories from the fattening junk foods are instead used to sustain the transformation.
	+ As Nanette is a healthy girl, she instead eats ice-cream (or mochi in the original) even if un-transformed.
