   Chapter 164 Pokemon! Pokémon!

   In the history of Pokémon games and animation, there are about 900 Pokémon in all. Even if Zhu Yuxing has a good memory, he can’t remember all Pokémon.

   Especially in the later generations of Pokémon, many of the elves are full of numbers, and they are becoming less and less characteristic, and it is a bit difficult for people to remember them all.

   Of course, the most important ones must still be remembered very clearly.

   And the rest is naturally left to the people of this world to find a way to create it.

   There is basically no shortage of creative people in this world.

   When Zhu Yuxing proposed the setting to the company's full-time painter, they were full of interest.

   This kind of creation that can be based on their own imagination, and then coupled with certain racial category restrictions, gives them a lot of creative space.

  Three or four painters can come up with two or three unique images every day, which makes Zhu Yuxing feel that if there are such creative painters in later generations, Pokémon will continue to explode for decades.

There are a total of 151 first-generation Pokémon released on GB in Zhu Yuxing's memory. Of course, there are actually only 150 officially compiled Pokémon. The other one is slightly special, which is equivalent to a hidden Pokémon. .

   If there is really that kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder that players want to collect, they must do their best.

   And because of the bug of the game itself, the last Pokémon that is not compiled only appears in a few cassettes, which also adds more extra fun to this game.

   Zhu Yuxing also does not intend to spoil this special fun, even if this is a bit of a coincidence, Zhu Yuxing also intends to copy this coincidence by the way.

Therefore, Zhu Yuxing also set 150 official Pokémon for the painters, as well as a hidden Pokémon dream specially drawn by himself, and also intends to recreate the operation of the first generation of Pokémon in the previous life. , only in some cassettes can find the existence of fantasy.

   However, if you want to implement such a function in mass-produced game cartridges, you can no longer rely on bugs.

   Take Yuxing simply wrote a random code, so that some cassettes that match this code can activate hidden Pokémon, which is the dream capture condition.

   If players really want to get this last Pokémon, they can either buy more cassettes, or find a way to exchange them from other players who also get fantasy.

   If a player has a cassette that can capture fantasy qualifications, the next time a new fantasy is discovered will also require a certain cooling time, which increases the rarity to a certain extent.

   This point is learned by Zhu Yuxing from the design of the monster hunter drop rate of the card table. The easier it is to obtain things, the harder it is to cherish them, and it will also reduce the playability of this collection game.

   When the programmers listened to Zhu Yuxing's explanation, they were a little confused.

  I thought it was possible to play like this? Add rare attributes to the game so that the game can sell more?

  Long experience, long experience.

After the    and other artists have almost got the number of 150, they entered the final development of the game.

   At the same time, the warm-up of the animation of the same name is also in progress.

   Thanks to the promotion of Takuma Gezi at the beginning, many girls are also very interested in this series of Pokémon.

  According to the poll results, 30% of the girls who hold Takuma Utako will consider watching Pokemon animations, and they will also consider purchasing Pokemon games.

   This time, Zhu Yuxing also maximized the warm-up effect of the game.

   The game has not yet been released, and the expectations of children have been raised to a high level.

   In the game, Zhu Yuxing focuses on promoting Pokémon interactions through wired connections according to the development trajectory of his previous life.

   Collect, restock, adventure and exchange.

   This is the main element of the Pokémon series.

   But just like that, Take Yusei doesn't think it's really 100% popular.

   That's why he decided to fill the Pokémon's publicity from the beginning.

  From subway posters, to various large billboards, and advertisements on TV.

   Just to promote Pokémon, the cost has exceeded one billion yen. It can be said that it is really expensive.

  '150 creatures, including insects, small animals, large creatures, inorganic creatures and other systems, fully satisfy players' exploration and collection fun! Please always pay attention to the latest news of Pokémon! ’

   One advertisement after another is shot directly on everyone's face.

  The adults scoffed at this.

   They prefer games that bring them more direct stimulation. They have not cultivated the fun of collecting, so they have no interest.

   Of course, Zhu Yuxing was not made for the adults of this era. What he wanted was to harvest the future.

   Now take care of these children, when they grow up in the future, they will be 'leeks' for decades.

   In later generations, even if the game made by the company that makes Pokémon is bad, millions of players will still buy it every year, and it is often the kind that buys two copies once.

   Seriously, no other series of games are as good as the Pokemon series, and there is no second IP that can reach the status of Pokemon.

  The mouse from the United States will not work.

   And in order to highlight the professionalism of Pokémon, Take Yuxing even invited a zoologist and entomologist as a consultant.

   They will provide help in some specific areas, helping the painters and programmers who do the setting to make the worldview setting more perfect.

   This operation makes employees a little puzzled. They feel that it is not necessary at all. Video games can be done as long as they are happy, why should they be so professional?

   However, Zhu Yuxing is the boss, and they can't say anything. Many employees thought that Zhu Yuxing was questioned by the public in the last baseball incident, and began to develop in a professional direction.

   In fact, this is just Zhu Yuxing wanting to make the world view of Pokémon more credible. It is mixed with the world view setting of the modern world, and it is easier for players to substitute it. This is also the most important part of the game.

   This is like a Chinese online novel. It is always easier for readers to write about the city. When writing about other categories, you need to set up a worldview by yourself, and then find a way to make readers not tired from reading, but will continue to read with relish.

   This is very important to Take Yusei.

  Bamboo Yuxing has been tracking the production process of Pokemon almost all the way, ensuring that every link is as perfect as possible, so that this first generation can harvest enough children to prepare for the future.

   And the time, also unconsciously, finally came to the day when the Pokemon game was officially released, and the day when the Pokemon anime was officially broadcast on TV Tokyo.

   Interested children have already taken money to line up to buy games, while the children who are watching are planning to watch anime first.

   As for other companies, they are watching from the sidelines to see how this new type of game is going.

   If the results look good, some companies plan to follow up immediately.
