Chapter 568: Pocket Monsters
May 3, 9:00 a.m.
Pokémon Go was released on time on the Oras platform.
Many employees who worked overtime at Dewen Company specifically applied for compensatory leave from the company.
The purpose is to set aside a free day so that I can go home and enjoy my own gaming time.
This game is based on the reputation of the Pokémon Company and invites a number of trainers such as Professor Oak, Red, and Green to join, bringing the publicity effect to the extreme.
The degree of preheating is comparable to that of a certain cyberpunk masterpiece.
Of course, what ultimately determines the lifespan of a game is the quality of the game itself.
Whether a conscientious company that started out with stand-alone games can withstand the test of the market depends on this.
Many fans have already bought the game through pre-sale and expressed shock:
“There was no bounced payment!”
"I'm relying on Pokémon to survive this May Day holiday."
“Buy early and enjoy early… and then get your money back!”
Oras provides players with a complete refund mechanism, and freeloaders are also prepared to get a refund after having fun.
Hoenn region, Violet City.
Mr. Tiexuan is a veteran freeloader and modifier.
I bought this game as soon as possible.
“I can’t crack it.”
Grandpa Tiexuan scratched his head, "Could it be that it is still encrypted with Rotom..."
However, this does not hinder the old man's enjoyment of getting something for free.
"Start the game!" Tiexuan shouted and pressed the external handle.
The first thing that catches your eye is the big Pokémon Company logo, a meteor falls, and a cutscene CG appears.
Gengar and Nidorino are facing off, with high-definition fighting animations and Gengar grinning.
"Lu Ye really has made Gengar the company's mascot."
Tiexuan sighed and scratched his head: "What does this Nidorino mean..."
Fast forward, the game officially begins.
On the screen, the stern appearance of Professor Oak appeared. He coughed and said in a serious tone, "This is our first meeting. Allow me to introduce myself first."
Tiexuan muttered, "I've seen it several times."
"I'm a professor who studies Pokémon. Everyone calls me Professor Oak—"
The Poké Ball in Professor Oak's hand opened, and a first-generation fiery red version of Charmander jumped out: "In our world, there are Pokémon living, one hundred, two hundred, three hundred..."
"There are countless Pokémon in this world, waiting for us to capture, fight, and explore!"
This is knowledge I have known for a long time.
With Professor Oak's recognizable voice and commentary.
Tiexuan was immersed in it unconsciously and felt a long-lost boiling blood.
This feeling... is like the excitement of getting your own beginner elf for the first time and about to embark on a journey! There are many other players who have the same feeling as Tiexuan.
They may not be able to become a real trainer.
But at least in this game, we can all feel the charm of Pokémon together and feel the emotions and bonds beyond the game.
Professor Oak smiled and said:
"Tell me your name—"
The prototype of the protagonist popped up on the screen, and Tie Xuan was stunned for a moment: "Isn't this Chi Hong?"
Players expressed their opinions.
“I feel involved!”
"As expected of me, the strongest trainer!"
"So this is where the legendary trainer started!"
A secret base far away in Xindao.
A man in a suit and tie sat in a shadowed room, stroking the cat boss on his knees.
The corners of Sakaki's mouth curled up, and a hint of anticipation rose in his heart.
"It seems very interesting..."
Select the default name and enter the game.
"Red, huh—"
Professor Oak laughed and said, "Also, this is my grandson, your good friend and rival. His name is——"
The screen showed a figure of Qing Lu with one hand in his pocket, looking proud.
The players were happy.
"Hahahaha, Green Master is publicly executing someone!"
"Since you were born in Jingchu, you should have a Jingchu name..."
"You can even name your rival? I've decided it's you, Wang Lanhua!"
In the chat group, Qinglu's handsome and indifferent face was slightly broken, and he looked at the chat history.
Ah Jin: "Hahaha, this is so funny, look at the name I gave it!"
[He calls himself 'Grandpa Jin is so handsome', right? ] Professor Oak pointed at his grandson and asked.
Green: “?”
A'Du: "It's so prosperous and trance-like."
Little Blue: "Puff!"
[Group member 'Ajin' was banned from speaking for 24 hours by administrator 'Qinglu']
Officially enter the game.
The red character model began to shrink and finally appeared in a narrow room.
The room is simply furnished with only a bed, a game console, a computer and a TV.
Players who have just entered the game are curious about everything, as if they can find props by just rummaging around in the houses.
When Tiexuan controlled the character to investigate the TV, a row of prompt texts were displayed.
[A movie is playing on TV, and there are four boys walking on the railroad tracks... It's time for me to leave too! ]
Let's go on our journey with Pokémon.
“Tears.”
"Teacher Lu really knows Pokémon!"
"I was suddenly moved... Life has many objective limitations, but at least I can realize my dreams in the game."
According to the game process.
Then he went out to find Professor Oak.
Choose your own starter Pokémon from Squirtle, Squirtle, and Charmander.
Young players do not realize that this is actually a disguised difficulty choice.
Following Chiye's growth path, choosing Bulbasaur is the easiest way to pass the level.
But if you choose Charmander... it's equivalent to choosing the hell difficulty, and you will be tortured to death by Brock and Misty.
Teacher Lu placed Charmander in the center with great malice.
The players also showed great enthusiasm.
"A real man would choose a flying fire-breathing dragon!"
"I've always liked Charmander. This is a dream come true. Thank you, Mr. Lu!"
Ajin also chose Charmander and looked curiously at Silver who was playing the game on the handheld console beside him.
"What did you choose?"
"Can't we steal all three of the Go-San-ke?"
Xiaoyin frowned slightly and said, "The degree of freedom is still not high enough..."
A Jin:? After receiving the initial elf.
In the game screen, Qinglu walked up with one hand in his pocket and proposed a duel.
The players immediately became interested and were eager to try.
"Look at me using Charmander to crush Squirtle!"
A burst of exciting electronic BGM symbolizes the start of the Pokémon battle.
But when the showdown officially began, the players were dumbfounded.
"Fuck, this Squirtle is so powerful?!"
"This AI command will also make Squirtle retreat into its shell!"
"Brother Jie, please don't do that, Brother Jie!!"
Players who started the game with Charmander felt the malice from the production team at the first moment.
When Ajin's Charmander was pressed to the ground and rubbed by Squirtle.
Boss Sakaki who knows Red best.
I have cleared the Dark Gray Gym with the help of Bulbasaur.
After the victory, look at the evolved Bulbasaur bathed in white light.
Boss Sakaki was absent-minded for a moment.
"Is this...his growth path?"
A slight arc appeared at the corner of Boss Sakaki's mouth.
"interesting."
** Time flies.
Players are immersed in this game and enjoy the fun of growing up with Pokémon.
Tiexuan finally cleared the second gym, wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled.
"Oh no!" Tiexuan cried out, "I forgot to refund!"
This is a high-quality game that is worth playing.
Even those who want a refund will be immersed in it unconsciously and forget how long the game is.
Both the details and the plot show the full sincerity of the Pokémon Company.
Of course, for the players who chose Charmander, the game process is full of thorns and pain——
Even, there is a little pleasure in being abused? On major game forums, Pokémon rushed to the top of the list, and game reviews gave high scores.
[The plot and gameplay are perfect, and the soundtrack is also quite amazing. But the background music of Lavender Town is a bit eerie...]
[Blow it up! Teacher Lu’s games never disappoint! ]
[Undoubtedly a perfect work. Let's talk about something off topic. Karunori's side job is a movie queen, Mikoli's side job is a gorgeous master, and this champion's side job is a game producer, which is surprising. ]
Many review media believe that Mr. Lu’s new game is expected to win the Oras platform’s annual best award.
On social media, a blockbuster tweet once again sparked public opinion.
[Dan Di: A champion-level stand-alone game, a masterpiece from Mr. Lu. ]
Dan Di is already extremely popular, and now it is supporting the new game, attracting many users who were previously unaware of it.
Dandi’s fans responded to his tweet one after another.
"Why can't my Charmander even defeat Squirtle?!"
"Using Galar's champion Charizard to attack the Kanto region? The person above is so powerful!"
"No one knows how to eat better than the Galar Champion!"
at the same time.
Bilibili has welcomed a new hot spot, which is videos related to "Pokemon".
Open various sections such as games, columns, ghost videos, etc.
The speedrunners, strategy players, and even the ghost-watching section all have finished products.
《Set the world's fastest record! Just pick this Pokémon at the start! 》
"Detailed Strategy: Tactical Analysis and Countermeasures of the Deep Gray Gym"
Zhao Zhao's Amazing Journey
Lu Ye was also browsing these videos online and said happily: "The fans are really talented!"
I thought there would be no such thing in this world.
Unexpectedly, someone uploaded a video of his Charmander being suppressed by Squirtle to the ghost video section and dubbed it.
"Want to have an exciting Pokémon battle?"
"Please, I'm super brave, okay!"
"Is this little Charmander growing well? Let me check it out!"
For a time, calling Squirtle "Brother Squirtle" became popular among the player community.
The fastest video to complete the game surpassed Mr. Lu's "Rainy Day Singing Team" and topped the list of the game area.
“It took only one day to complete it.”
Lu Ye was slightly surprised and clicked on the speed-run video.
According to the UP host, his main job is a senior trainer.
The various tactical videos previously released by Mr. Lu are the best strategies for speedrunners.
“Is this the world of the big guys?”
“The difficulty of a game is determined by whether the creator can complete it.”
"Teacher Lu can probably defeat the Four Heavenly Kings alone by using the substitute poison... I can't learn it, I can't learn it."
"Just level up honestly... Damn, why is Sakaki so high in level!"
The progress of the speed run video has reached the Silver Building.
The UP host said helplessly: "Silver Building is the most difficult copy in this game in my opinion."
"First of all, the average level of Boss Sakaki's team was 5 levels higher than my team at the time."
"I was able to stabilize the situation by taking drugs and rotating...but Boss Sakaki's Nidoqueen has the most terrifying "Earthshattering" move."
"I suspect Mr. Lu has modified the hit rate of "Earthshatter"... It can kill my Pokémon instantly every time!"
"Or have I been watching Mr. Lu's videos for too long and my luck has affected me?"
The barrage was filled with a series of 2333s and expressions of sympathy for the UP host.
"As soon as he opened his mouth, he was an old friend."
"As we all know, Mr. Lu's luck is unpredictable."
Lu Ye was slightly stunned and burst out laughing.
I just adjusted Sakaki's level to the appropriate level.
As for the black face... This UP host is clearly slandering someone's innocence! After posting a question mark in the comment area, Mr. Lu's comment was immediately pushed to the front row.
"Master Ball!"
"Teacher Lu, please give money to the UP host!"
“The official response is okay hahaha.”
** That night, "Pokemon" topped the trending search list and sales also soared.
The benefits far exceeded Mr. Lu’s expectations.
The good news is that the little dinosaur’s food expenses will not be a problem in the near future.
Although I didn’t achieve my goal of retiring early…
But letting more people feel the charm of Pokémon is also Mr. Lu’s original intention.
"Yoji~~(￣～￣)"
In the villa of Golden City, little Kiras was chewing [Rusty Rock].
This is a rare mineral bought from Daigo...it cost Mr. Lu a lot of his own money.
However, the new game has excellent sales.
Teacher Lu was very proud and said that he could continue to buy Daigo's collection! "Hello, is this Teacher Lu?"
Ajin's carefree voice came from the microphone.
"The one called Dr. Xiu Li contacted us."
"They said they would wait until the May Day holiday, when there are fewer people, to go and investigate the ruins!"
This is a very thoughtful idea. Lu Ye asked curiously: "Is Xiaoyin still staying at your house?"
"Yes, he went with me."
Ah Jin glanced at the red-haired boy who was concentrating, and suddenly whispered:
"He looks even more excited than me..."
Xiaoyin has always regarded Sakaki as a goal that he needs to defeat.
Confronting Sakaki, even in the game, might be Gin's vision.
Lu Ye was stunned: "How far has he progressed?"
"He read that speedrun guide... and is about to reach Silver Tower."
Before he finished speaking, Ajin took out his phone and looked at Xiaoyin, who had a paralyzed face.
Xiaoyin was gritting his teeth and gripping the handle tightly when a message "blackout" appeared on the screen.
Ah Jin had a complicated expression: "Hey...don't be so hardworking..."
Xiaoyin stared at the man in the black windbreaker on the screen with determined eyes.
"Come again!"
…
New Island, Team Rocket Base.
Sakaki only dabbled in games.
He was wearing a black coat. He stood up slowly and put the black hood on his head.
The scenes in the game correspond to the scenes in the past.
But I am no longer the same Sakaki.
At this moment, there are more important things that need my attention.
In the virtual projection, the tired face of Zhenniao appeared, and she reported:
"The information on the Alufu ruins has been sorted out..."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Sakaki nodded slightly, "Turn on the control system of that air fortress."
Zhenniao was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "I understand."
Among the high-tech devices in the Pokémon world, there are many flying devices.
Take Sakaki for example, he owns an aerial battleship.
And this aerial battleship was the place where he had fought with Chihong.
The night wind howled and the hatch of the base opened.
The huge ship disappeared into the night, and the sound of its engine was like the roar of a beast in the dark.
Sakaki held down his black hood and closed his eyes.
An indifferent red-haired boy and a humble black-haired trainer appeared before my eyes.
Some things must be resolved by me personally.
Even if it is a resurrected ancient god, I have reasons to stand before it.
because.
The image of Xiaoyin appeared in Sakaki's mind.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were sharp in the darkness.
I am Sakaki of the earth.
"Full speed ahead."
Sakaki stood on the deck of the ship, looking out over the layers of clouds and sea, and said in a stern voice: "Target, the Arufu Ruins!"
…
Trainer's Diary, 4.25. Only one update today, so sorry o(╥﹏╥)o. Beichuan has been very busy with his graduation project recently, but the outline has been drawn up, and I will ensure a good ending for the Sinnoh arc.
