Another theme is exploration. The RWBY characters often explore new areas in their world, and when Pokémon are added, it becomes about exploring how Pokémon fit into those areas. For example, finding out which Pokémon can thrive in the different regions of Remnant.
One common theme is friendship. Just like in both RWBY and Pokémon, the idea of characters forming strong bonds with each other and their Pokémon is prevalent. They rely on each other in battles and in difficult situations.
One common theme is the exploration of Tukson's true nature. Since he was not fully developed in the original RWBY, fanfics often dig deeper into who he really was. Another theme is his relationship with the other characters in the RWBY world, whether it's friendship, rivalry, or something else.
One common theme is family. Since Weiss and Winter are sisters, a lot of fanfics explore their family dynamic, like how they support or misunderstand each other.
A common theme is power struggle. Lucifer, being a powerful figure, often gets into power - related conflicts with the RWBY characters who also possess various forms of power.
One common theme is identity. Since Neo has a rather mysterious past, many fanfics explore who she really is. Another is revenge. Given her actions in the RWBY series, some fanfics have her seeking revenge or others seeking revenge on her.
One common theme is the distortion of the familiar RWBY settings. For example, Beacon Academy, which is usually a place of learning and growth, can be turned into a haunted and dangerous place. Another theme is the corruption of the characters' powers. Their abilities might be twisted in a way that becomes a source of horror rather than strength. And the threat of the unknown, like strange creatures or forces emerging from the uncharted parts of Remnant.
Growth and development is another theme. Fans like to write about how both characters grow, not just as individuals but also in their relationship. They might show Jaune becoming a stronger fighter and leader, inspired by his love for Pyrrha.
One common theme is self - discovery. Jeanne often has to figure out her place in the RWBY world and her own abilities. Another theme is friendship. She forms bonds with the RWBY characters, which is a key aspect in many fics.
One common theme is acceptance. Since the RWBY world has its own set of social norms, the fanfics often deal with how the characters come to accept their lesbian relationships, both within themselves and in the eyes of others. For example, they might face initial doubts or opposition from friends or family within the story, but eventually find a way to be true to themselves.
One common theme is friendship. For example, characters might use tickling as a light - hearted way to bond or tease each other within the context of their strong friendships in the RWBY universe.
One common theme is redemption. Since Cardin starts off as a bit of a bully in RWBY, many fanfics focus on him becoming a better person. Another theme is self - discovery. Fanfics often explore Cardin finding out more about his abilities and his place in the world. Power - growth is also a theme, as he tries to improve his skills and standing among his peers.
