Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

This shows that the graphics of this Pokémon game are indeed not very high quality.

He really didn't quite understand. Since this game had been personally supervised and produced by Takeyuki Sho, it should be made to be as perfect as possible.

The game's base size is 200MB. As players explore different city streets, the game will load street information for that city, just like other traditional map navigation software.

Therefore, the future capacity will increase as players play for longer periods of time.

However, even with this, the file size still seems quite pitiful in many games.

This does have one advantage: the download speed is very fast.

After downloading the game, Pat lay on his sofa and clicked to enter the game.

The initial step is the standard registration and login process for a game account; if you have a Battle.net account, you can log in directly.

The game then moves on to the tutorial section.

The first thing that appears on the phone screen is the image of a Pokémon Master, who will act as the player's mentor and provide assistance at any time.

Now, the Pokémon Mentor's job is to guide players on how to play the game.

The game is very simple to play, with a standard Pokémon battle and collection gameplay.

The Pokémon Mentor will now teach players how to catch Pokémon.

"Hello, I am your Pokémon Mentor. Congratulations on successfully becoming a Pokémon Trainer. Now, please strive to become a Pokémon Master!"

"Next, I will introduce you to the methods of catching and battling Pokémon. Have you played any Pokémon games before? Are you familiar with the basic gameplay of Pokémon?"

When the pop-up window appeared, Pat didn't hesitate to choose the option that he was the Pokémon Master.

I've been a loyal Pokémon player for over a decade, and I know the Pokémon content inside and out, as well as how to play it.

The core gameplay of this game has remained largely unchanged since its inception.

It has always been a turn-based battle game, but it's like it has some kind of magic. Even though turn-based games are no longer popular, the Pokémon series still has a large number of loyal players.

The Pokémon Mentor on the phone screen said again: "Very good, it seems you are indeed qualified to become a Pokémon Trainer. So let's skip the basic battle gameplay and I will now teach you how to catch Pokémon. I will now read your location, which requires your authorization for the game to function properly."

An authorization request appeared, and Pat clicked "agree." Then, the Pokémon Mentor message appeared on the screen asking him to wait.

"You are located on ** Street in Florida DZ City, USA. The Pokémon ecosystem here is dominated by Steel-type Pokémon. However, you are unlucky, as there are currently no Pokémon in your area. You need to find a place where Pokémon can be found. Would you like me to provide navigation guidance?"

There are no Pokémon in my area?

It turns out that you can't get Pokémon directly; you have to go outside first.

This is a typical residential area. To encourage players to go out and explore, Yuxing Electronics Entertainment has specially designed regular residential areas around the world as areas where Pokémon do not roam.

Pat thought that made a lot of sense.

Wild Pokémon cannot easily enter human settlements.

So he agreed to the navigation, and about two seconds later, the Pokémon Mentor gave a notification sound.

"I've found an area where Pokémon are active. Please head there as soon as possible, because there's a limit to the number of Pokémon in different areas. If you go too late, other people might catch all the Pokémon."

Pat raised an eyebrow.

Will all the Pokémon be captured?

This is interesting.

Upon hearing this on the phone, Pat didn't hesitate, walked out of the house, and prepared to get into a car to head to his destination.

The destination is about five or six kilometers away, and if I drive fast, I can get there in about ten minutes.

That place is a commercial district with a relatively high flow of people, but at this time of year, when many people are at work, there probably aren't many people around.

So he started the car and drove to his destination, which was five kilometers away.

However, he clearly underestimated the extent of the traffic congestion at that moment.

Pokémon GO has been out for about a day now.

On this very day, in many parts of the world, those reclusive men who rarely leave their homes suddenly and unusually swarmed out.

They have only one goal: to catch Pokémon!

Chapter 1122 The sooner the better

There are still three kilometers to go to our destination.

Pat stared anxiously at the street ahead.

This is really weird.

Why are the roads so congested today?

Normally, even if the roads are bustling at this time, there shouldn't be any traffic jams.

But today there was a terrible traffic jam.

"Hey, what's going on up ahead? Why are there so many cars?"

A car in the lane next to Pat rolled down its window and looked at Pat with some dissatisfaction, asking him a question.

Pat turned his head and saw a middle-aged man wearing a floral vest and who was a little overweight.

Pat shrugged. "I don't know either. Normally, this street shouldn't be congested right now."

"This is really unbelievable," the overweight middle-aged man grumbled, then added, "We're almost at the block, just a hair's breadth away from catching the Pokémon."

Ok?

Pat felt like he heard some familiar words.

He looked at the middle-aged man again.

"Sir, were you just talking about... Pokémon?"

“That’s right.” The middle-aged man answered casually, while showing Pat his phone.

"It's this game called Pokémon GO. This game encourages people to go out and explore, but there are no Pokémon in my neighborhood, so I have to come here to catch some."

Pat was stunned.

So there were other people who came to this neighborhood with the same purpose as me?

Suddenly, Pat remembered the message that had appeared on his phone earlier.

The number of Pokémon in each region is limited.

Only a small number of Pokémon will appear within a certain time period. If you arrive late, the Pokémon may have already escaped, or all the rare Pokémon may have been captured.

I don't think so...

Pat was somewhat unwilling to believe it.

This is just an ordinary mobile game. I don't think there are many people as free as me who would think of going out of their way to play a game.

Most people probably still prefer staying at home and playing games.

His line of thinking is not wrong.

Most gamers would definitely prefer to play games at home.

but.

He overlooked another thing.

That is, according to statistics, there are hundreds of millions of loyal Pokémon players in the world today.

If we include registered users who have played Pokémon, the scale would be several times larger.

This is a user base that is absolutely genuine.

It's not the kind of unrealistic figure like the three hundred million gunfight dream from my previous life.

With hundreds of millions of players, almost the entire population has come out of the fray. Even though this group isn't considered terrifying on a global scale, it still causes some traffic congestion.

Pat patiently waited for the traffic jam to end.

About three or four hours have passed, and the place that should have taken only ten minutes to reach is now taking many times longer than before.

That's really a bit crazy.

Pat had never seen anything so crazy.

Then, after he finally arrived at his destination, he took out his phone and found that Pokémon GO had already sent him a notification.

"I'm very sorry, Pokémon Trainer, most of the Pokémon in this area have already been captured, and a few have gone into hiding. It seems that it will be difficult to catch Pokémon here in the short term. But don't worry, the Pokémon should reappear at the beginning of each week, and you can come here to catch Pokémon again at that time."

Pat has now finally confirmed one thing.

The reason why traffic jams are so severe right now is because so many people want to catch Pokémon.

This also includes that middle-aged, overweight guy from earlier.

At that moment, the middle-aged, overweight man was standing not far from Pat, complaining with a look of frustration on his face.

"Damn it! They've all been arrested. These guys are really fast!"

Pat then walked up to the overweight middle-aged man and said, "You didn't catch anything?"

The overweight middle-aged man turned to look at Pat, then asked with a suspicious expression, "You... are you also a Pokémon trainer?"

"Yeah, I downloaded this game too."

Patte nodded and took out his phone to show the overweight middle-aged man.

"Wow, that's really strange. It's surprising that someone likes Pokémon games so much. I don't usually know many people who like this game."

Even though there are many Pokémon players, their numbers are still very small when compared to the rest of the world.

Unless it's a pre-arranged gathering, Pokémon enthusiasts rarely meet up with each other.

"Wow! I caught a rare Pokémon!"

Just then, an excited shout came from not far away.

His voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of some passersby who looked on with curiosity.

But after he excitedly shouted, a dozen people suddenly appeared and came to his side.

"Hey bro, what Pokémon did you catch? Let me see!"
