Chapter 164 Pokémon! Pokémon!

In the history of Pokémon games and anime, the number of all Pokémon is about 900. Even if Zhu Youxing has a good memory, he cannot remember all the Pokémon.

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

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

And the rest is naturally left to the people of this world to figure out how to create it themselves.

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

When Zhu Youxing proposed the settings to the company's full-time painters, they were full of interest.

This kind of creation that can be based on their own imagination, and then add certain racial category restrictions gives them a lot of room for creativity.

Three or four illustrators can create two or three unique images every day, which makes Zhu Youxing feel that if there are such creative illustrators in the future, Pokémon will continue to be popular for decades.

The total number of first-generation Pokémon released on GB in Zhuyou Xing’s memory is 151. Of course, there are only 150 officially compiled Pokémon, and the other one is a little special, which is equivalent to a hidden Pokémon. .

If there is really that kind of obsessive-compulsive collector who wants to collect, they must use all their strengths.

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

Zhu Youxing didn't intend to spoil this special fun, even though it was a bit of a coincidence, Zhu Youxing also planned to copy this coincidence by the way.

Therefore, Zhu Youxing also ordered 150 official Pokémon for the painters, as well as a hidden Pokémon Dream specially drawn by himself, and also planned to reproduce the show operation of the previous generation of Pokémon , the existence of dreams can only be found in some cassettes.

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

Zhu Youxing 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 must either buy more cartridges, or find a way to exchange it from other players who also get the dream.

If a certain player has a cassette capable of capturing fantasy, it will take a certain cooling time to discover a new fantasy next time, increasing the rarity to a certain extent.

This point is what Zhu Youxing learned from the monster hunter drop rate design of the card table. The easier it is to get something, the harder it is to cherish, and it will reduce the playability of this collection game.

After the programmers listened to Zhu Youxing's explanation, they were a little confused.

I thought to myself, can I still play like this? Add rare attributes to the game so that the game can sell more?

I have learned a lot, I have learned a lot.

After the illustrators have almost completed the 150 quantity, 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 Tamako at the beginning, many girls are also very interested in the Pokémon series.

According to the results of polls, 30% of the girls who own Tamagotchi would consider watching Pokémon animations, and would also consider buying Pokémon games.

This time Zhuyouxing also maximized the warm-up effect of the game.

Before the game was released, the children's expectations had already been raised to a very high level.

In the game, Zhu Youxing followed the development trajectory of the previous life to emphasize the interaction of Pokémon through wired connections.

Collect, restock, adventure and trade.

This is the main element of the Pokémon series.

But just like this, Zhu Youxing didn't think that this would really be 100% popular.

That's why he decided to maximize the promotional effect of Pokémon from the beginning.

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

Just to promote Pokémon, the cost has exceeded one billion yen, which can be said to be really costly.

'150 creatures, including insects, small animals, large creatures, inorganic creatures and other systems, fully satisfy players' exploration and collection fun! Please keep an eye on the latest news about Pokémon! '

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

The grown-ups sneered at this.

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

Of course, Zhu Youxing was not made for the adults of this era, what he wanted was to reap the future.

Take good care of these children now, and when they grow up in the future, they will be 'leeks' for decades.

In later generations, no matter how bad the game made by the company that made Pokémon is, there are still millions of players who will buy it every year, and it is often the kind that buys two copies.

To be honest, other series of games are not as good as the Pokémon series in this regard, and there is no second IP that can reach the status of Pokémon.

Even the mouse from the United States will not work.

And in order to highlight the professionalism of Pokémon, Zhuyouxing even invited a zoologist and entomologist to be a consultant.

They will provide assistance in some specific areas, helping the painters and setting programmers to make the world view setting more perfect.

This operation made the employees a little puzzled. They felt that it was unnecessary. As long as the video game is happy, it’s all right. Why should it be so professional?

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

In fact, it’s just that Zhu Youxing wants to make Pokémon’s world view more credible, mixing it with the world view setting of the modern world, and making it easier for players to substitute into it, which is also the most important part of the game.

This is like Huaxia’s online novels. Those about the city are always easier for readers to bring in. Those about other genres need to set up a worldview first, and then find a way to make readers not get tired of reading, but also read with relish.

This is very important to Zhu Youxing.

Zhu Youxing is tracking the production process of Pokémon almost all the way to ensure 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, unconsciously, finally came to the day when the Pokémon game was officially released, and the day when the Pokémon anime was officially broadcast on TV Tokyo.

The interested children have already queued up to buy the game with money, while the children who are watching are planning to watch the anime first.

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

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