Pokemon Olive and Pokemon Peridot are role-playing/party games developed by Copy-Ability-Studios, NDcube and Game Freak, and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Blaze.

Pokemon Olive and Peridot serve as the first installments in the tenth generation of the Pokemon series as well as direct crossovers with Cartoon Network's Ben 10 franchise. In addition, both games serve as indirect crossovers with Cartoon Network’s Codename: Kids Next Door series and Nintendo's Mario Party series, the latter of which NDcube is also a developer of.

Pokemon Olive features Ultimate Charmeleon as its mascot, while Pokemon Peridot uses Ultimate Wartortle as its mascot.

## Gameplay

Unlike other games in the core Pokemon series, Pokemon Olive and Peridot play more akin to the Mario Party series of party video games as opposed to traditional role-playing video games. Despite this change, however, both Pokemon Olive and Pokemon Peridot retain many of the core series staple elements, such as capturing and battling Pokemon. What's different this time around is that the games mainly feature the Ben 10 franchise’s Omnitrix Aliens as species of Pokemon (though the games only feature Omnitrix Aliens that have appeared in official media; no Omnitrix Aliens made by crew members that have worked on official Ben 10 media but have not made any official appearances are not present). Like with past core series Pokemon titles, most Pokemon are available in both versions of the game, whereas some Pokemon are exclusive to a specific version of the game.

Pokemon Olive and Peridot take the form of a board game that up to four players can play by directing their characters on various themed game boards themed after the Pokemon and Ben 10 franchises. Boards usually have branching paths, but the one thing they all have in common are many different types of spaces players can land on, each producing a different effect. There are also Poke Centers in which players can heal their Pokemon and purchase items like Poke Balls for capturing Pokemon and Potions to help them in battle.

Pokemon battles play identically to how they did in past installments of Pokemon; players command their Pokemon to use a set of moves against a wild Pokemon or an NPC Pokemon Trainer’s own Pokemon. Moves require PP in order to be used; if the player does not have enough PP for the move, the move cannot be used. The goal of Pokemon battles is to defeat the opposing Pokemon until said Pokemon faints. Players can have a maximum of six Pokemon, and when a Pokemon faints, the fainted Pokemon will be exchanged with another. If the losing side has run out of available Pokemon to use in battle, the winning side will be victorious and win the battle.

## New Features

### New Region

Pokemon Olive and Peridot take place in the new N’rutas region, which, unlike other Pokemon regions, is in outer space and consists of multiple moons orbiting in the shape of a ring around a larger, presumably desolate planet. It is accessed by traveling

## = New Types

Pokemon Olive and Peridot introduce three new types: Sound, Rubber and Cyber. Pokemon with these types have moves that involve sound, rubber or cybernetic properties. Many species of Pokemon that made their debut in the series prior to Pokemon Olive and Peridot have been re-typed with these three types.

### New Regional Forms

Pokemon Olive and Peridot introduce new regional forms for pre-existing Pokemon, known as Galactic Variants. These variants are native to a different moon in N’rutas.

In addition, Shiny Pokemon have been reworked as a type of regional form native to Dimension 23; each Shiny Pokemon now has a different typing compared to their original counterparts, like with all regional forms.

### Reworked Mega Evolution

The Mega Evolution mechanic from Pokemon X and Y makes a return after a lengthy absence, and has been significantly altered to fit with the current “temporary transformation” dynamic of certain Pokemon. As a result, many Pokemon with alternate forms unrelated to Mega Evolution have been reworked into Mega Evolution forms. Mega Stones have been changed as well; instead of every Pokemon having their own dedicated Mega Stones, all Pokemon capable of Mega Evolving must use a Mega Stone associated with a Pokemon type (for example, Fighting-type Mega Stones allow for Mewtwo to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo X).

There are currently five known kinds of Mega Evolution: Classic, Forme, Omni-Enhanced, Omnikix and Omni-Naut.

Classic Mega Evolutions consist of all the Mega Evolutions that have appeared in Pokemon X and Y and Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and last for as long as the Pokemon battle is still going. If the player wins or loses the battle, the Mega Evolved Pokemon will revert back to its normal state. Classic Mega Evolutions each have “Mega” in its name, like Mega Charizard X or Mega Lucario.

Forme Mega Evolutions can be triggered both during and outside of battles, and last for as long as the player wishes. Any Pokemon that has undergone a Forme Mega Evolution can revert back to their normal state at any time. Forme Mega Evolutions each have their own unique names, like Pirouette Forme Meloetta and Resolute Forme Keldeo.

Omni-Enhanced Mega Evolutions exclusively use the Shock Rock-type Mega Stone, which ironically doesn’t work for a Shock Rock. All Pokemon that undergo Omni-Enhanced Mega Evolution have either Rock or Electric as their secondary type, depending on the Pokemon’s gender. Like with Classic Mega Evolutions, a Pokemon’s Omni-Enhanced Mega Evolution lasts for as long as the battle goes on, and the Pokemon will revert back to its normal state once the battle ends. Omni-Enhanced Mega Evolutions each have “Omni-Enhanced” in their name, like Omni-Enhanced Four Arms or Omni-Enhanced Stinkfly.

Omnikix Mega Evolutions give Pokemon cybernetic properties in addition to a cybernetic exo-suit. Each Omnikix Mega Evolution requires the Cyber-type Mega Stone and has "Omnikix" in their name, like Omnikix Heatblast.

Omni-Naut Mega Evolutions take place during Space Battles. Omni-Naut Mega Evolutions use the Steel-type Mega Stone, and all Pokemon that undergo Omni-Naut Mega Evolution receive the Steel type as their secondary type and are encased in a special suit that protects them from the harsh conditions of space. Unfortunately, this makes the Pokemon much heavier than before, so moves such as Fly and Flying Press cannot be performed. Omni-Naut Mega Evolutions have “Omni-Naut” in their name, like Omni-Naut Humungousaur..

### Space Battles

Pokemon Olive and Peridot introduce the aforementioned Space Battles, in which Pokemon are sent to a special arena set in outer space. In order to challenge an NPC trainer to a Space Battle, both sides must have a Pokemon capable of undergoing an Omni-Naut Mega Evolution and have their Pokemon hold a Steel-type Mega Stone.

### Hybrid Pokemon

Pokemon Olive and Peridot introduce a new species of Pokemon known as a Hybrid Pokemon, which contains attributes of two separate species of Pokemon, such as their appearance and typing, and combines them into a new Pokemon. Hybrid Pokemon are created in the Nursery of the Sanctuary by having two Pokemon of completely different Egg groups breed and produce a Hybrid Pokemon as their offspring. Examples of Hybrid Pokemon include Humungoopsaur (the Rock/Rubber-type offspring of a Goop and a Humungousaur) and Stink Arms (the Poison/Fighting-type offspring of a Stinkfly and a Four Arms).

### Ultimate Evolutions

Pokemon Olive and Peridot introduce a new species of Pokemon known as an Ultimate Evolution. For the first time in the series, certain species of Pokemon can evolve into a Pokemon with three types instead of one or two. However, these Pokemon are so powerful, they can be unstable and hard to control. They are also less likely to obey their trainers than in their pre-evolved forms.

For a Pokemon to undergo Ultimate Evolution, players will have to keep leveling up their Pokemon until they reach Lv. 100. However, an alternative method would be to give their Pokemon an Ultimate Stone which instantly triggers Ultimate Evolution for that Pokemon, but the stone is extremely rare and can only be used once.

Ultimate Evolution serves as a way of allowing players who wish for a permanent Mega Evolution-esque transformation of their Pokemon to choose to have their Pokemon undergo an Ultimate Evolution. However, those who prefer Mega Evolutions can choose not to have their Pokemon undergo an Ultimate Evolution and instead have their Pokemon evolve into a less-powerful species in favor of Mega Evolutions.

Ultimate Evolutions are considered completely new species of Pokemon instead of being just a transformed version of an already existing Pokemon, unlike Mega Evolutions.

### Party Mode

Party Mode is a gameplay mode in the game in which up to four players play through a board, trying to collect and train as many Pokemon as possible. There are two types of campaigns in Party Mode: Starter Party and Free Party. The playable character roster in both Starter Party and Free Party consists of four young Pokemon trainers: Ben, Gwen, Lucy and Jonesy. In Starter Party, each of the playable characters is assigned with one of four predetermined starter Pokemon: the Grass-type starter Plantapocalypse (for Ben), the Fire/Poison-type starter Upchuck (for Gwen), the Water type starter Walkatrout (for Lucy) and the series’ first ever Rubber type starter Caet (for Jonesy). In Free Party, players are free to select any of the Pokemon stored in the Sanctuary as their starter.

After the characters and starter Pokemon are selected, Professor Paradox will present them with a Partytrix, which acts as a dice block for moving forward, and tasks them with using the Partytrix to decide the order in which players go first. After the turn order is decided, Professor Paradox will give each player 100 Poke Dollars to spend in the Poke Center.

In every turn, each player hits the center button on their Partytrix to stop a number on a roulette, and moves ahead the number of spaces shown according to the number the roulette stopped on (ranging from 1 to 10) to make progress on the board. Along the way, players will encounter wild Pokemon after landing on a Tall Grass space, and they must use their Pokemon to either defeat the opposing Pokemon or to weaken it in order to catch it with a Poke Ball. Afterwards, the Pokemon is added to the player’s party. Each player can hold up to 6 Pokemon at a time, with any captured Pokemon exceeding the maximum amount allowed being sent to the Sanctuary. If the battles with wild Pokemon are too intense for the player, he/she is free to exit the battle with no consequences.

At the end of each round of play (in other words, after each of the four players has taken their turn), a Pokemon battle commences. A roulette decides who gets to battle who, and the selected players are taken to a battlefield and take turns battling each other with their Pokemon in a 1 on 1 battle. After one player wins over another, the winning player receives a Victory Badge. After the last turn, the player with the most Victory Badges will have the opportunity of battling Professor Paradox in a Pokemon battle. If the player loses, the player with the second most Victory Badges will battle the professor in his/her place. After the professor is defeated,, the winning player is dubbed the Champion of the game.

### Journey Mode

Journey Mode is identical to Party mode, but is exclusively a single-player experience, and is the closest in structure to a traditional core series Pokemon game that Pokemon Olive and Peridot will get. In it, players select one of two playable characters, Ben or Gwen, and unlike in Party, players can freely select any of the four starter Pokemonto join them on their adventure. Professor Paradox will show up afterwards and announces he will be holding a contest to see who can take down the Negative Ten first. It is here that players are introduced to their rival, Kevin, who is more than eager to win the contest. Professor Paradox explains that whoever wins the contest will be rewarded with an Omnitrix, which can transform the user into any Pokemon they desire.

Journey mode retains the board game gameplay of Party mode, but is structured like a core series Pokemon adventure. Players traverse through all 10 board games in a random order, with the goal being to capture and battle Pokemon to gain enough experience points within a set number of turns. Encounters with wild Pokemon via Tall Grass spaces is still present, but, players will also encounter NPC Pokemon trainers with their own Pokemon who will challenge the player in a 1-on-1 Pokemon battle. If the player wins the battle, they will be rewarded with special items and Poke Dollars; if they lose, they will be forced to pay a small Poke Dollar fee, and be taken immediately to the Poke Center to heal their fainted Pokemon. Players can exit Trainer battles like they could with wild Pokemon, though they are still forced to pay a small Poke Dollar fee for doing so.

After the last turn, the member of the Negative Ten native to that board will appear and the player must defeat him/her in a Pokemon battle. If the player wins a battle with a Negative Ten member, he/she will be rewarded with a special Victory Badge and progress to the next board. However, if the player loses the battle, regardless of how far the player has progressed through the adventure, he/she will have to start the entire board over again, unless they are willing to pay a hefty Poke Dollar fee.

Along the way, Kevin will show up out of nowhere and challenge the player to a random 1-on-1 Pokemon battle. Unlike with wild Pokemon battles and Trainer battles, players cannot exit battles with Kevin.

After all 10 members of the Negative Ten are defeated, the player wins the contest fair and square, and Professor Paradox will congratulate the player for completing their journey, and will finally present the player with the Omnitrix as his/her well-earned reward. However, a jealous Kevin will burst in and attempt to steal the Omnitrix and use it for his own selfish needs. Professor Paradox warns Kevin not to mess around with it, as it will malfunction and horribly mutate him. Kevin refuses to listen and ends up transforming into a powerful Pokemon known as Kevin 11. Players are tasked with defeating Kevin 11 in a Pokemon battle; if the player has a Master Ball in their possession, he/she is allowed to capture Kevin 11 with the Master Ball and add it to his/her collection of 6 Pokemon or the Sanctuary if the player has reached the maximum limit of 6 Pokemon.

Afterwards, Professor Paradox will challenge the player to one final Pokemon battle. It is here that the strongest and most powerful Pokemon in the game are used by the professor. Players must rely on Kevin 11 and/or any of their other Pokemon to defeat Professor Paradox in a high-stakes battle. The consequences of winning and losing the battle with Professor Paradox are the same as with other battles, so players have to give it all that they got in order to win and become the Ultimate Champion.

After completing the main Journey Mode campaign, players will unlock a new Dimension 23 campaign that features a harder difficulty and a new story involving an alternate dimension known as Dimension 23, which is the homeworld for Shiny Pokemon.

### Sanctuary

The Sanctuary is an artificial paradise for Pokemon created by Professor Paradox. It is here that Pokemon that have been caught in Party and Journey modes go to when the player has exceeded the maximum amount of allowed Pokemon. The Sanctuary is an open world environment in which players assume the role of Glitch, an AI created by Professor Paradox using human and Upgrade DNA.

The Sanctuary consists of numerous features, the most prominent of which is the Hotel, where Pokemon go to sleep when not being used by the player. The Hotel serves as a storage system for Pokemon, similarly to the PCs in previous core series games. Other features of the Sanctuary include a Playground where Pokemon can play and interact with the player or other species of Pokemon, a Nursery in which Pokemon can breed and produce Eggs, a Cafe in which Pokemon receive nourishment such as food and drinks, and a Database in which players can read information about the Pokemon they have encountered/caught.

## Trivia

* Ultimate Charmeleon and Ultimate Wartortle being the mascots for Pokemon Olive and Peridot respectively is a reference to Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue for the Game Boy using their other evolved forms Charizard and Blastoise respectively as their mascots.

* During development, Pokemon Olive and Pokemon Peridot were initially titled "Pokemon Party" and "Pokemon Fiesta" respectively. Their names were later changed in order to appeal to older gamers.

* The games are named after shades of green (olive and peridot), which reference the Ben 10 franchise’s predisposition to the color green.

* + In addition, the letter O in "Olive" and "Peridot" on the boxarts is actually the Omnitrix symbol, which is used to represent the Omnitrix, an important element in the Ben 10 franchise.

* Ben, Gwen, Lucy and Jonesy were selected as playable characters because they were the main characters in the Ben 10 Omniverse episode “From Hedronium to Eternity”.

* Sublimino, Rojo and Frightwig were meant to be members of the Negative 10, but were scrapped and replaced with different members. Had they appeared, however, the members of the Negative 10 would have been exactly the same as they appeared in the Ben 10 episode “Ben 10 vs. the Negative 10”.
