Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?

[You move, I move. This feels a bit boring. Doesn't that mean there's no room for maneuver? Whoever has the advantage in attributes and the higher level wins?]

[Indeed, I feel like this is a problem.]

The graphics are well-made, the music is great, and the ideas are good, but the combat system is weak and boring, and it can only compete with the stats. In this respect, it is not as good as the Battle Path. I give it a full four stars out of five. The evaluation is complete.

Chapter 4: Fire Chick uses Flame to great effect! (4k)

While the barrage was hotly discussing that the "turn-based" system was a failure for this game, Shirona had a different opinion in her heart.

She thought about it seriously: the turn-based mode seems to lack depth, but there may be a lot of room for development.

In fact, the mechanism of "Road to Battle" is also a turn-based system in a sense. After all, it is the program that executes the content of the game.

Especially in pvp, every time players on both sides input commands, there will be a very long response time.

The only difference is that the battle path has added the function of executing commands through player voice. Given the excellent individual intelligence and AI of Pokémon, the battle effect will be more realistic.

So actually, she is a little looking forward to the upcoming combat performance of this game.

But having said that, she doesn't think this game can bring her the same improvement in trainer understanding as "Battle Road".

Because there is one unavoidable problem in any Pokémon battle game, which is that the game developers must have a sufficient understanding of each Pokémon!

From the skills that can be mastered, attributes, characteristics to their racial values, and even the real characteristics of each Pokémon, they must be perfectly restored to have real combat value and meaning.

Even if "Battle Road" barely achieved this, it still had a professional team of hundreds of people behind it to provide them with the database.

Even so, various bugs and blunders often occur in the Battle Road, such as a Pokémon's characteristic error, or some problems with its attributes...

For example, the grass-type Pogamon and the flying-type Coal Turtle...

This is not because they are giving up, it is actually normal. After all, there are so many Pokémon, and if all of them are turned into game data, there will inevitably be problems.

However, the Emerald game that he was playing in front of him was developed by an individual producer, which was obviously a bigger problem.

Thinking of this, Sirona shook her head slightly and continued to focus on the game itself.

As the wood gecko slapped the dog, the coyote's health dropped by half in an instant.

The coyote dog hit back and the wood gecko lost some skin.

After the second blow from the wood gecko, the coyote dog completely lost its ability to fight and the battle ended.

Seeing this, the comments started another heated discussion.

[I knew it was like this. Turn-based games are indeed a bit boring.]

"This doesn't look that difficult. The opposing Pokémon is defeated in two hits. All I have to do is choose powerful moves every turn and use them. How can it be as difficult as the description says?"

However, I didn't expect the details of the battle to be so well-made. When the Pokémon use their skills, there are corresponding animation reactions, and the images also maintain their state of movement. It's not rigid at all.

[Indeed, the art design is truly amazing. I think the gameplay team deserves a thumbs up for the art.]

Unlike Sirona, they did not know that this game was developed by one person alone, and they thought it was developed by a studio or a large company.

After all, as of now, some parts of this game are of very high quality, and it is impossible that it was developed by one person.

At this moment, with the end of the entire battle, the character controlled by Sirona and Dr. Odamaki returned to the research institute in the town.

As a reward for helping him, Odama gave Ceylon as the starter Pokémon to Sirona.

The rival "Black-haired Boy" chose Chickadee as his initial Pokémon. The moment he got the Poké Ball, he immediately suffered from Super Male Syndrome and demanded a Pokémon battle with Sirona.

This battle was the same as the previous one, and was not difficult. Torch's level was even one level lower than that of Bimbisara, and was easily defeated by Shirona.

After the rival left, Professor Odamaki asked her to head north to the top of the road to find the rival and bring him back. He said that he had something he hadn't given to others, so he ran away and gave her five Poké Balls.

Shirona obediently took the wood gecko with her and set off.

Before setting off, she opened the player panel and took a look at the status of the Pokémon in her backpack, and roughly understood the difference between this game and other games.

When the characteristics and attributes are fully restored, the Pokémon's abilities will be marked with numbers.

The most outstanding abilities of her wood gecko are "speed" and "special attack", which are several points higher than its other attributes.

This made Sirona raise her eyebrows.

She originally thought that this game wouldn't do a very good job of recreating the real Pokémon, but she didn't expect the situation before her to be beyond her expectations.

Although she had never bred a Forest Lizard before, she knew clearly that the characteristics of the starter Pokémon like Woodpecker were their outstanding speed and special attack.

Obviously, the game makers restored this.

So can we infer from this that the data of every Pokémon in the game can also be restored?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Sirona dismissed it herself - it probably wouldn't work.

Information on Pokémon like Bimbisara is relatively easy to find online and is well known, so the fact that it can be made doesn't mean anything.

For other unpopular and uncommon Pokémon, it is unlikely that the author can restore them without mastering the database.

However, to be able to achieve this level, the creators have been very thoughtful.

After checking the Pokémon information in the backpack, Sirona followed the game's instructions, went up, passed through a small town, and came to a patch of grass in the north.

On her way here, she encountered many wild Pokémon in the bushes and fought with them.

The battle process was very easy, and the level of the Wood Gecko was successfully upgraded from level 5 at the beginning to level 8. While the attributes were improved, it successfully learned a new skill "Flash of Lightning".

But when she talked to the "black-haired boy", he said that his Pokémon was no longer what it used to be and asked for another fight.

At this moment, the barrage burst into laughter.

[This guy is pretty nice. Isn't this just a pure mobile experience pack?]

[It's not even two minutes yet, and you're already busy giving away experience points.]

[A good person will have a peaceful life, and a good person will give birth to eight children.]

Amidst the laughter and cheers from the barrage, Sirona also joined the battle.

However, two seconds later, she realized the seriousness of the problem.

Because the Pokémon sent by the opponent was still that Charmeleon.

But...the level is actually one level higher than that of the wood gecko, reaching level nine!

Sirona suddenly had a bad feeling.

Level eight vs level nine.

You can’t beat him, right?

No, that shouldn't be the case, right? This is just a beginner's quest process, and level 9 is probably just scary.

This self-named "black-haired boy" should be like a guide for novices, responsible for teaching them some basic things.

Thinking of this, she controlled the wood gecko and used the "Flash of Lightning".

The wood gecko strode forward, twisted its body at an extremely fast speed, and dropped its tail heavily.

The health bar above the Fire Chicken's head dropped by less than one-third.

And the next moment...

The fire chicken opened its mouth and a ball of fire spewed out!

——【Fire Chicken uses Flame!】

——【Excellent effect!】

The health bar above the head of the Wood Gecko dropped rapidly like a roller coaster, and instantly dropped to less than half, and immediately turned yellow!

Shirona had guessed that when the level was one level higher, the restraining skills of the Fire Chick would cause a lot of damage to the Wood Gecko.

But she didn't expect that this would cost the wood gecko half his life!

At this moment, she suddenly remembered that she had just passed by that town and entered a blue building. She found that it seemed to be a store selling props, so she bought a bottle of medicine that could restore the Pokémon's strength.

She quickly opened her backpack and chose to use medicine on the wood gecko. With a burst of purple spray, the wood gecko's health bar was instantly restored.

However, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Fire Chicken made another move, spewing out a ball of flames from its mouth, instantly reducing the health bar of the Wood Gecko to less than half!

At this moment, Shirona had already reacted. Unlike other games, using stamina recovery items actually counted as using up a round!

Now, isn't this situation unsolvable?

Whether the Wood Gecko uses a slap or the newly learned skill Lightning Flash, it can only reduce less than 1/3 of the Fire Chick's health.

However, Tokichi only needs to use the flame twice in a row to make the Wood Gecko lose its combat ability.

The bottle of medicine just now only delayed the time of her losing, but did not solve the fundamental problem!

What should we do now?

It seems that no matter what I do, I will lose.

Faced with this situation, Shirona's fighting instinct as a champion made her calm down quickly and start thinking about how to break the deadlock.

However, after a few seconds, a prompt suddenly popped up on the screen.

[Because you didn't give your Pokémon a command in time, your opponent made the first move! ]

[Turbot uses Flame! ]

【Excellent effect!!】

Red flames gushed out, the wood gecko was hit, the screen shook violently, and the health bar above its head was instantly emptied!

The two fireworks, under restraint, instantly killed the Bombashi!

【The Wood Gecko has lost its ability to fight】

【You have no more Pokémon! 】

【Strawberry Ice Cream's eyes were filled with darkness...】

As the prompt popped up, the game interface instantly went black.

Sirona was stunned in front of the computer.

Then, the scene switched and the game character reappeared in the Pokémon Center in the small town.

But the difference is that the "money" in the upper right corner has been completely cleared.

At this moment, the barrage of comments was refreshing frantically.
