History VideoGame / PokemonZetaOmicron

Pokemon Zeta and Omicron are fan games created by reddit user thesuzerain, and can be found [[http://www.pokemonzetaomicron.com/ here]]. It is a custom-built game using RPGMXP; it is not a ROM hack or other hacked game. The game has two regions, starting off in the Versyn region, and continuing into the Aroma region. Like most {{Pokemon}} games, your goal is to collect all eight gym badges and stop a villainous team along the way, which changes depending on the version you're playing, Team Asgard for Zeta, and Team Olympus for Omicron.

!Pokemon Zeta Omicron contains examples of:

* ActionDad: [[spoiler: Wilson, the player's father, is a member of the Elite 4.]]
* ActionMom: [[spoiler: Aria, the player's mother, is the champion of Vesryn.]]
* AerithAndBob: There is a trainer called Gggggg.
* BigBad: [[spoiler:Gold, but by the name of Odin/Zeus (depending on version)in the Vesryn Region, Cipher in the Aroma region.....until it turns out that Odin/Zeus was behind it all in the first place.]]
* CallBack: Both Cyrus and N show up as allies of Oak and your mother against Zeus/Odin.
** [[spoiler: The BigBad turns out to be Gold.]]
* CurbStompBattle: What happens if you unknowingly enter the Developers' Challenge in Fianga City the first time you visit. The first Pokemon, Umbreon, is at level 65. Your Pokemon when you first arrive are most likely around level 20. To top it off, Umbreon holds Leftovers, so if you manage to do any damage to it, it will get healed.
* DarkerAndEdgier: YES. The game ''starts'' with you fleeing your town as it is attacked by Team Asgard/Olympus as your mother leaves to try and fight them. Even as you beat the grunts, the team constantly achieves their goals, leading to [[spoiler: your town being destroyed before your third gym.]]
* DifficultySpike: Everything from the E4 upwards in Vesryn, [[spoiler:and much of Aroma]]. The E4 forces you to change your battle style to set, which doesn't give free switches after defeating a Pokemon, and the later battles have you fighting Pokemon up to level [[spoiler: '''120''']].
* {{Doppelganger}}: [[spoiler:Divaevus and Maladeux]] are exactly the same, except that [[spoiler: Maladeux]] is black and Dark type, while [[spoiler: Divaevus]] is yellow and its typing is currently unknown.
* [[spoiler:DoomedHometown: The player's hometown, Nyasa Town, is destroyed by Team Asgard/Olympus.]]
* GameBreaker: In-universe when the admin you fight at the collider realizes that he can use the Time Caller to return his team to their condition from before you beat them, forcing you to fight over and over until you just can't win. Thankfully Wilson shows up and scares him off before he is able to go through with it.
* {{House Rules}}: The game offers a built-in Nuzlocke mode, a Randomizer (every Pokemon, wild trained or gifted, is chosen randomly) mode, and a Randomlocke (both of those together) mode. The next update will also include Solo (you can choose any Pokemon at the beginning of the game and you will not be able to catch any more) and PP Challenge (PP can only be restored with items.)
** You can also select how much "swag" your rival has depending on how much you wish to hate him.
* LargeHam: A man in Fianga Town talks IN ALL CAPS LIKE THIS and offers to teach your Pokemon how to do the same.
* LegoGenetics: [[spoiler:Wilson's Megasparce]] is a combination of [[EnsembleDarkhorse Dunsparce]], [[TheDreaded Darkrai]] and [[ShockAndAwe Zekrom]]. [[spoiler: His team during the second battle is composed entirely of cyborg Pokemon and more LegoGenetics.]]
* {{Loads and Loads of Characters}}: Even compared to other games in the official series, where Pokemon from past generations can be obtained, this game stands out. Between the two versions, EVERY Pokemon from Generation V and earlier is obtainable (and a few later ones as well).
* TheMissingno: If you use the Mystery Gift to acquire the Cinnabar Ticket, you can travel to Cinnabar Island in Ladoga Town, where you can fight ''and capture'' the TropeNamer, MISSINGNO. Though funny enough, it's a ''major'' GlassCannon (ludicrously high Attack, agonizingly low everything else) with a small movepool, but its ability Glitch will KO anything that deals physical damage to it.
* MoodDissonance: Whenever you encounter anything, even a weak bird like Pidgey, the game plays dramatic and extremely unfitting music.
* ShoutOut: [[spoiler:Wilson's second team contains references to Terminator 2, Digimon, and Pacific Rim]]
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: This gem from a grunt outside of the PokeHadron Collider. "... and no, you'll never get into the Collider from the tube itself! And no, you can't get into the tube from up north! Where are you getting these ideas?"
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: [[spoiler: AI controlled Pokemon like Corlett's Gavantula have illegal movesets like Ice Beam despite the fact that it's not part of the allowed moveset. Plus Wilson's Sigil Hall team is filled with unobtainable and overpowered Fakemon (though they can be defeated with strategy and at the Challenge Championships the player is limited to 3 Pokemon but later opponents are able to use 4 Pokemon)]]
* TimeTravel: All Legendary Pokemon and Unown can use TMXX, Tesseract to travel into the past.
* YouMonster: There is a trainer that, upon defeat, says that she was doing a Nuzlocke and that you killed all of her pokémon.

* BigBad: [[spoiler:Gold, but by the name of Odin/Zeus (depending on version).]]
