* ''[=~Pokémon~=]'' allows you to capture, among other things: The common ancestor to all other {{Mon}}s (and its SuperSoldier [[CloningBlues clone]] GoneHorriblyRight); a time-traveling avatar of all flora in existence; the embodiments of the earth, sea, and sky; the masters of time, space, and antimatter; the creators of free will, emotion, and knowledge; a living embodiment of NightmareFuel and its heavenly-looking counterpart; another avatar of flora for good measure; and what is heavily implied to be ''[[{{God}} the creator of the universe himself]]''. (or at least the creator of the Pokemon world; it's not clear, currently in the picture at the top of this article).
** Not to mention golems of rock, ice, and steel, elemental birds and beasts of ice, thunder, and fire, two psychic dragons, a colossal golem that moved continents, a metal volcano monster, a wish granting FunSize star, the prince of the seas, a rainbow phoenix, a draconic bird that can cause storms with a flap of its wings and an alien creature [[hottip:** : In order that they were mentioned... Mew, Mewtwo, Celebi, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Azelf, Mesprit, Uxie, Darkrai, Cresselia, Shaymin, Arceus. Then Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Suicune (who is the North Wind, not Ice), Raikou, Entei, Latios, Latias, Regigigas, Heatran, Jirachi, Manaphy, Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Deoxys]].

*** With the exception of Black and White. [[spoiler:The leader of Plasma manages to capture the version mascot opposite from the one you're playing, and even uses it in battle against you after the Elite Four.]]

*** It looks like we get to control the living embodiments of [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Zekrom_(Pokémon) Yin]] and [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Reshiram_(Pokémon) Yang]] next.

** Made even more evident in ''[=HeartGold=]'' and ''[=SoulSilver=]'', when the player is able to have his/her lead Pokemon walk behind the player. A "second-tier" legendary such as Zapdos looks like nothing out of the ordinary, but try putting Ho-Oh in the lead. It's at least twice the size of a normal Pokemon, and you can't even have it out indoors. Yet the NPCs take no notice of it.

* In the very first issue of ''TheSandman'' by NeilGaiman, this was what the people who imprisoned Dream of the Endless (described as "more powerful than gods") had in mind. Dream, however, refused to do anything for his captors (gee, they must have been so surprised their prisoner didn't want to grant them eternal life!), and after seventy-two years of simply waiting he escaped.

** Hilariously, since most Legendaries are [[GameBreaker incredibly powerful]] and thus banned in official tournaments, and [[CharacterTiers placed in their own tier]] by fans, most of the people controlling these gods either leave them in storage, or use them to [[MundaneUtility travel around, beat up wild animals and enter beauty contests]].
** Parodied in the flash compilation [=$00pah NiN10Doh=]!
--->'''Lucas:''' Alright let's see here, we've got time and space, every human emotion, every natural element and nature itself, life and death... What do we go for next?
--->'''Dawn:''' Only one place left to go. We go for God!
--->'''Lucas:''' Ah, wait, no, we've got that one too.
--->''Cut to a board room with a banner reading "Pokemon: The Fifth Generation" and some executives trying to think of ideas.''
--->'''Executive:''' Fffffffuck.

Arceus (see the picture).

Congratulations! GOD was caught! GOD's information was added to the [[MagicalDatabase Pokédex!]]

* [[YuGiOh Yu-Gi-Oh!]] has the playable [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Egyptian God]] [[CardGames Cards]]. (And then there's [[spoiler:[[InfinityPlusOneSword Horakhty]]]]...) There are also a number of arch-demonlike / godlike cards out there. Timaeus & company, Exodia, Dark Ruler Ha Des, Dark Creator, the Sacred Beasts, Black Luster Soldier and Chaos Emperor Dragon, Five God Dragon, and the list goes on. Heck, even Blue Eyes White Dragon had a god-like backstory before the game's power creep got the better of it. And there's still its fusion forms, the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon]] (which even after the power creep still has the 5th highest attack power in the game, with all of the stronger cards being ludicrously impractical to use) and the even more powerful Dragon Master Knight.

*** Crystal tried to capture [[{{God}} Arceus]] [[WhatAIdiot with a Level Ball]]. In her defense, she was freaking out and probably wasn't thinking straight. [[CurbStompBattle The aftermath was not pretty.]]

*** Yeah, but only the lesser legendaries have been officially caught without any problem and they've all been released afterwards, except for the ones caught by the Frontier Brains. Don't forget, Norman tried to control Rayquaza [[spoiler: and died for his troubles]], after which it flew away on its own.

* TalesOfSymphonia has Sheena, [[spoiler: a summoner from another dimension,]] who can control the eight beings that embody the elements (known ingame as Summon Spirits)[[spoiler: , along with Origin and Maxwell, both essentially gods,]] and Corrine, a manmade [[spoiler: (not exactly)]] lesser Summon Spirit.

** [[http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showpost.php?p=1014872 This tries to explain why you can capture the god of a universe.]]

Bob used [[TooAwesomeToUse Master Ball]]!\\

* In ''DwarfFortress'' Certain large and potentially quite dangerous creatures can be tamed if captured without killing a dwarf, including ''dragons'' (officially bosses). You can KO the DemonicInvaders via cave-ins and stuff them in cages; they aren't tameable without a minor hack, but can be tossed into a pit to be fed with enemy prisoners.
