ZERO-ONE

The ZERO-ONE (Japanese: ゼロワン号 No. ZERO-ONE) is an all-terrain safari vehicle designed by Professor Oak. It can acclimate itself to several different environments by using wheels, inflatable pontoons, and jet thrusters for travel over the ground, in the water, and through the air. The ZERO-ONE has no steering mechanism. Instead, it will follow a set path preprogrammed by Professor Oak that takes it to the goal gate. It has an automatic braking system which activates if a should get in its path.
In New Pokémon Snap, both the design and the technology of the NEO-ONE are directly based on the ZERO-ONE.

====Modes====
One of the main features of the ZERO-ONE is that it can switch modes depending on its terrain. It has a land mode, a water mode, and an air mode. The transformations between the modes are shown when Todd finds the secret exits in the Tunnel and River.

==Trivia==
* The Aquamole from , another game by the same developer, bears a resemblance to the ZERO-ONE's water mode, and may have been designed that way in reference to Pokémon Snap.
* The ZERO-ONE is named after an owan bowl (a Japanese soup bowl), in reference to the Japanese folktale of - where the titular character rides in an owan bowl along a river. This is because Pokémon Snap's first level originally took place in a river, and this brought to mind the tale. Owan (oh-wan) is also phonetically similar to a pronunciation of the digits 01 (oh-one)."New N64 Game Facts Discovered" - Did You Know Gaming on YouTube.
