Game design: Players were moved to tears.

Chapter 169 It’s decided that it’s you, Bulbasaur.

With great curiosity, Bai Xue clicked on the promotional video.

A red and white elf ball instantly appeared in front of the screen. Accompanied by Hong Kong's low and charming voice, the elf ball gradually turned into the shape of a blue star.

"Hundreds of years ago, all kinds of strange little animals appeared on Blue Star."

“People with an exploratory spirit work tirelessly to explore the unknown.”

At this time, the camera quickly moves down.

In the dense forest, black shadows quickly shuttled between the jungle;

In the unknown underground grotto, the ground trembled, and the huge shadow quickly approached and quickly moved away.

A roaring roar sounded in the unreachable sky, and the huge dragon-shaped black shadow on the ground disappeared in an instant.

In the blue sea, with the sound of waves gently lapping on the beach, a dazzling light flashed past, and a figure like a seahorse was vaguely visible.

The CG production is extremely sophisticated. At first glance, it doesn’t look like CG, but it looks like a real shot.

"Hundreds of years later, humans finally figured out the properties of these animals and called them Pokémon."

The black shadows gradually weakened, showing their true colors.

Each and every Pokémon is infinitely cute.

a fire-breathing dragon that plays with small flames;
Squirtle standing on two feet and constantly slurping water;
Bulbasaur looks very mature and stable, with a furry Pikachu sitting on his back.

Moreover, the scene of their activities has also changed from nature to human cities.

You can see lying hippos everywhere by the pond in the park.

A Bobo was standing on the roof humming loudly.

Kirby lay on the fountain and slept soundly, with a group of children and Pokémon playing wantonly on its belly.

Every pedestrian who passes by is accompanied by a Pokémon.

Either following behind, lying on the shoulders, or standing above the head, it is a friendly and harmonious scene.

"After unremitting efforts, humans and Pokémon finally coexist peacefully."

"And the profession of trainer was derived."

In the dense forest, a man threw an elf ball at a wild giant stingray, which was immediately locked on the ground and trembling.

The man hadn't been happy for long before he saw the elf ball shaking violently.

With a bang, the giant sting wasp escaped from its trap and chased the man, stinging him for a while. The man screamed in fright and turned around to run away.

"It's every trainer's dream to compete in the Global Pokémon Contest!"

"Becoming the strongest Pokémon trainer is everyone's ultimate dream!"

As the camera turned, there were extremely enthusiastic cheers and applause in the background.

In the vast playing field, the lights are shining, and the two trainers stand solemnly.

The hard rock snake is trying to tie up Guis with its huge body, and Guis is emitting lavender poisonous gas...

"But the road is very difficult. You need to collect the badges of the Eighth Avenue Pavilion first..."

The eight gym icons flashed one by one.

Rock, water, electricity, grass, poison, super powers, fire, ground.

A girl had just defeated the leader of the Rock Hall, and a badge immediately appeared in her adventure manual.

Not only that, the holographic projection in the gym also flickered.

The figure of the woman just now and the Pokémon she used immediately appeared in the gym.

There are also names and defeat time labels below.

Outside the gym, countless trainers cheered.

"On the road, you will encounter many difficulties..."

In the dark grotto, the trainer held the Pokémon in his arms and moved carefully.

Suddenly, a black shadow emerged from the shadows and launched a sudden attack...

On the adventure road, you are suddenly stopped by a trainer on the roadside who wants to start a random battle.

There will even be a blue-haired man, a purple-haired woman and a cat who call themselves 'Team Rocket', wreaking havoc behind the scenes.

"But you will also enjoy the fun of adventure, see scenes that you can't usually see, and experience activities that you can't usually experience..."

Loud birdsong sounded.

In the sky, a giant giant bird spread its wings in the wind. If you look closely, you will see a human figure on its back.

In the calm ocean, a wave roared past, fleeting.

A trainer is lying on the head of the jellyfish and moving at high speed...

"When you collect all the Gym Badges, you'll come to the Challenge Tower."

A tall tower towering into the sky stands in front of you.

At this time, a huge holographic projection of the championship trophy appeared.

Under the tower, countless Pokémon trainers slowly raised their heads and looked firmly at the tower.

Surrounded by countless Pokémon, the background music became louder.

At the end of the shot, a childish voice sounded:

"Pokemon, let's go!"

It is also accompanied by a line of subtitles:
"Pokemon will be released online on May st."

……

After watching the promotional CG, countless players fell into a brief silence.

But after the silence, there was a shock like bottoming out.

"Here I go, this promotional CG production is too sophisticated."

"I thought it was the real world, but I didn't expect it to be CG. Liu Wei is really willing to spend money."

"???Aren't you focusing on the wrong thing? Isn't the focus on these cute little animals?"

"Be strict, the official setting is Pokemon!"

"There is a lot of CG content. It seems that it is not just the pets in "Happy Series", it can be made into a game on its own."

"...I don't know if the person upstairs is really stupid or something. I didn't see the last sentence saying that this is a game and it will be released on May st."

"Today is the 27th, and you can play in four days. I'm really looking forward to it!"

"I don't know how much it will cost. I hope it's not too expensive. I can't afford it if it's too expensive."

"I just took a look at the official website. There are two versions of red and emerald, both priced at 169."

"Is there any difference?"

"The difference? Let me see, the content is exactly the same. Oh, each version has its own Pokemon, and then... it's gone."

"Damn it, Liu Wei is crazy about money. The content is exactly the same, but he just changed a Pokémon and he dares to sell a second copy?"

"Warm reminder, there is no bundled promotion for these two versions, which means that if you want to buy them all, you will have to pay twice the price."

"...mmp, black-hearted businessman Liu Wei."

Suddenly, countless players who were still looking forward to this game began to scold Liu Wei in unison.

Other game media, on the other hand, very wisely avoided this 'inconspicuous' small detail and began to brag about it.

However, those game manufacturers felt like crying when they saw this scene.

May Day, National Day, and around the Spring Festival are the three best publicity nodes, and they are also the time when there are the most players.

Countless large and medium-sized companies have been gearing up for a whole year, just waiting to cash in on him during the May Day Golden Week.

But who would have thought that it would be at this critical period.

Liu Wei suddenly appeared, bringing with him the killer weapon "Pokemon".

And what makes these designers and companies most angry is that they have no countermeasures and means.

Just from the CG, you can see that it is a big-budget production, not to mention the game content.

Plagiarism?

How to copy?
There was just a cg, but I didn’t understand the specific content and gameplay.Those game companies, facing the popularity of "Pokemon", can only silently choose to postpone their own games to avoid this big enemy.

But something even more sad happened to them.

After they announced that the game was postponed, the players who followed it were not only not sad, but also a little gloating.

"Great, I was still thinking about buying that game, but now I can buy "Pokemon" directly."

"It's good to postpone it, just so I can play "Pokemon" first and then this game."

The designers of these companies were angry and cursed.

Countless nights, I dreamed of Liu Wei’s cheesy smiling face, whispering cheerfully against his ear:
'My game is online together with your game, dear~'

……

After the release of cg, the publicity for "Pokemon" was out of control.

The first is that Fumei Technology integrates the power of all its IPs.

They have incorporated Pokémon elements into their games.

In "Plants vs. Zombies", some plants are cosplayed to look like Pokémon.

Peashooter turns into Bulbasaur, Big Mouth Blossom turns into Overlord Flower, Cherry bombs Centenary City Cherry Blossom Treasure, Potato Thunder turns into Gopher...

"Girls in the Three Kingdoms" gives away skins of generals and Pokémon for free.

"Guigu Bahuang" adds a new DLC, and the magical powers of each series are turned into Pokémon models...

"Happy Series" adds new pets - Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.

Bulbasaur can speed up the maturation of plants and animals;

Charmander's chance of catching stolen food increases, and he loses more gold coins after being caught.

Squirtle increases the selling price and experience of animals and plants...

Countless IPs work together to create momentum for "Pokemon".

……

On May st, "Pokemon" was officially released.

At this time, it was on the 33rd floor of the Fujii Technology Building.

CEO's office.

Yin Jing, who is over forty years old, is sitting in front of the computer in high spirits.

On the screen was "Pokemon Ruby Edition". As the person in charge, Yin Jing decided to take some time to experience Liu Wei's game in person.

Let’s take a look at what’s going on with this game that Liu Wei spent a lot of energy making.

However, Yin Jing only bought the ruby ​​version because the official website said that the content of the two versions was the same, with only one elf different.

Yin Jing would not spend another sum of money for a Pokémon, let alone a competitor.

Soon, the game is downloaded.

Yin Jing clicks to enter the game.

The cg of the game is not much different from the publicity cg, it is nothing more than cutting down some of the trainer's pictures and adding more animations of Pokémon's appearance.

Wait until you officially enter the game.

A middle-aged man with brown hair who calls himself Dr. Omu appears:

"This world has magical Pokémon, and they contain extremely powerful power..."

However, Yin Jing frowned.

Looking at the promotional CG, he thought it was a realistic style game.

But I didn't expect that when I entered the game, it was full of anime style. At first glance, it looked like a game played by children.

He wanted to quit the game immediately.

At his age, it would be too embarrassing to be discovered by others playing such a child's game.

But he hesitated for a moment and stopped:

"Play it for a while first. Don't be fooled by the appearance. Let's see the specific content and gameplay first."

Following the novice guidance, Yin Jing filled in his game name, defaulting to the name of Dr. Ohki's grandson being Xiaoguang.

Then...under Yin Jing's disbelieving gaze, the protagonist gradually shrank and became smaller, turning into something like a thumb-man.

The game's screen is a standard God's perspective. Looking from top to bottom, it looks like a hat boy in action.

"I wipe it."

Faced with this situation, Yin Jing was unable to complain.

With the end of his mother's instructions in the game, Yin Jing can finally control his character to go out and take action.

Control the character to go out of the house.

Yin Jing discovered the uniqueness of this game.

First of all, the painting style is very cute. At first, Yin Jing found this painting style difficult to accept, but it only lasted a few minutes.

Yin Jing actually felt that this style of painting looked very comfortable, and even had an idea that this style of painting should be the right one.

Secondly, the background music is very calm and comfortable, and the faint sound of the flute is melodious and distant.

It sounds like a paradise, a leisurely and contented feeling.

“Both the art and the music are perfect.”

"No, no, it's not perfect. It can only be said to be average, but in this game, this combination is a perfect match." Yin Jing concluded.

This game is not top-notch in every aspect, but together it is perfect.

Immediately afterwards, he went to Dr. Oak and got the first Pokémon-Bulbasaur.

Yin Jing also officially embarked on an adventure.

“I finally started the game, but I don’t know how to play it?”

Yin Jing checked the mission log, went to the next town, defeated the rock gym and got the badge.

Because there is only one road from Zhenxin Town to the next town, Yin Jing only needs to keep moving along the road.

As soon as Yin Jing controlled the protagonist to step out of the town, he discovered that the entire game's screen and background music had changed.

First, the brightness of the picture is brighter, making the already green grass more vibrant.

Followed by background music.

The original leisurely and tranquil flute sound has become more lively and fast-paced, giving people a feeling of freedom, freedom of exploration, and spring sunshine.

Yin Jing couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "There is something about this change."

When he controlled the protagonist to walk in the grass, his eyes shone even more.

Although it is a 3D picture from God's perspective.

But when the protagonist walks in the grass, the grass will perform an interactive action of shaking left and right, with little bits of broken leaves splashing out.

At the same time, there is also the sound of 'rustling' stepping on the grass, which is very detailed.

Yin Jing couldn't help but keep walking around in the grass.

But just as he was walking back and forth for the second time, a black shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes.

At the same time, the background music suddenly became fast and loud.

Even Yin Jing, who had experienced strong winds and waves, couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard this battle music.

A Pokémon with purple fur that looked like a squirrel appeared with its teeth and claws spread.

He has big ears, red triangular eyes, a very long beard, and two long and white front teeth.

At this time, the protagonist on the screen says the name of the enemy elf.

"It's a wild Rattata."

"It's up to you, Frog Seed!"

The protagonist threw out a red and white elf ball with a 'bang' sound.

A green and durable Bulbasaur with an onion on its back appears on its own field.
