May 3rd, nine o 'clock in the morning.
Pokemon was released on the Oras platform on time.
Many of the Deven Company's employees who were working overtime had specially applied for leave from the company.
It was all for the sake of leaving a day of free time so that he could go home and enjoy his gaming time.
This game was based on the reputation of the Pokemon Company. They had invited Dr. Ohki, Chi Hong, Cyan Green, and other trainers to join in, maximizing the publicity effect.
The degree of preheating was comparable to a certain Cyberpunk masterpiece.
Of course, what determined the lifespan of the game was the quality of the game itself.
Whether a company with a conscience that started with standalone games could withstand the test of the market depended on this one move.
Many players had already entered the game through pre-sales and expressed their shock.
"They actually didn't jump the ticket!"
"This May Day holiday depends on Pokemon."
"The earlier you buy it, the earlier you can enjoy it … and then refund it!"
Oras provided a complete refund mechanism for players, and freeloaders were also prepared to 'refund after having fun'.
Fengyuan area, Zijin City.
Elder Tie Xuan was a veteran freeloader and tinkerer.
He immediately entered the game.
"I can't even crack it."
Elder Tie Xuan scratched his head. "Could it be that it's encrypted with Lothom …"
However, this didn't stop the old man from enjoying freeloading.
"Start the game!" Tie Xuan shouted and pressed the external controller.
The first thing that came into view was the Pokemon Company's large logo. A meteor fell, and a cutscene CG appeared.
Geng Gui and Nidorino were tit-for-tat. Geng Gui grinned in high-definition fighting animation.
"Lu Ye really treats Geng Gui as the company's mascot."
Tie Xuan sighed and scratched his head. "Then what's the meaning of this Nidorino …"
Hurriedly fast-forwarding, the game officially began.
On the screen, Dr. Ohki's old-fashioned appearance appeared. He pretended to be serious and coughed.
"This is the first time we've met. Allow me to introduce myself."
Tie Xuan muttered, "We've met several times."
"I'm a doctor who studies Pokemon. People call me Dr. Ohki —"
The pokeball in Doctor Ohki's hand opened, and a first generation fiery red version of a small fire dragon jumped out.
"In our world, there are Pokémon. One hundred, two hundred, three hundred …"
"There are countless Pokémon in this world, waiting for us to subdue, battle, and explore them!"
This was knowledge that he had known for a long time.
Dr. Ohki's distinctive voice and explanation followed.
Tie Xuan was unconsciously immersed in it, and he felt his blood boil.
This feeling … was like the excitement of getting his beginner sprite for the first time and about to embark on a journey!
There were many other players who felt the same way as Tie Xuan.
They might not be able to become real trainers.
But at least in this game, we can experience the charm of Pokémon together, and feel the emotions and bonds that are beyond the game.
Dr. Ohki smiled.
"Tell me your name."
The protagonist's original form appeared on the screen. Tie Xuan froze for a moment.
"Isn't that Chi Hong?"
The players expressed their opinions.
"I feel a sense of immersion!"
"As expected of me, the strongest trainer!"
"So this is where the legendary trainer starts!"
In a secret base far away in New Island.
A man in a suit and leather shoes sat in a room shrouded in shadows, stroking Boss Cat beside his knees.
Sakaki's lips curled up, and a trace of anticipation rose in his heart.
"This seems interesting …"
He chose the default name and entered the game.
"Chi Hong, is it?"
Dr. Ohki laughed and said, "Also, this is my grandson, and also your good friend and rival. His name is …"
Cyan Green with one hand in his pocket appeared on the screen, looking proud.
The players were amused.
"Hahaha, Lord Green, public execution!"
"Since you were born in Jingchu, you should have a name like Jingchu …"
"You can even name your rival? It's decided to be you, Wang Juhua! "
In the chat group, Cyan Green's handsome and cold face was faintly crumbling. He looked at the chat history.
Akin: "Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Look at the name I came up with!"
[He's called 'Lord Akin Is So Handsome,' right?] Dr. Ohki pointed at his grandson and asked.
Cyan Green: "?"
Ah Du: "Red and fiery, dazzling."
Little Silver: "Pfft!"
[Group member 'Akin' has been muted by administrator 'Cyan Green' for 24 hours.]
They officially entered the game.
Chi Hong's character model started to shrink, and finally appeared in a narrow room.
The room was simply furnished with a bed, a game console, a computer and a TV.
Players who had just entered the game were full of curiosity about everything, as if they could find props by rummaging through a house.
When Iron Xuan operated his character to investigate the TV, a row of text appeared.
[A movie is playing on the TV. Four boys are walking on a train track … I should get going too!]
Let's go, our journey with Pokémon.
"Tears."
"Teacher Lu really knows Bao Ke Meng!"
"I'm suddenly moved … There are all kinds of objective limitations in life, but at least I can fulfill my dreams in the game."
According to the flow of the game.
Then they went out to look for Dr. Ohki.
From the garlic tortoise, the Jani tortoise, and Charmander, he received his three Yu family items.
The young players didn't realize that this was actually a disguised choice of difficulty.
According to Chi Ye's growth path, choosing the Wonderful Frog seed was the easiest way to clear the game.
But if they chose Little Fire Dragon … it would be the same as choosing hell mode, and they would be tortured to death by Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia.
Mr Lu rather maliciously placed Little Fire Dragon in the middle.
The players also showed strong enthusiasm.
"A real man must choose a fire-breathing dragon that can fly!"
"I've always liked Little Fire Dragon. My dream has come true. Thank you, Mr Lu!"
Akin also chose Little Fire Dragon, and looked curiously at Little Silver, who was playing with the handheld console.
"What did you choose?"
"Can't you steal all three of the Yu?"
Little Silver frowned slightly and tsked. "The degree of freedom isn't high enough …"
Akin:?
After receiving the starter sprite.
On the game screen, Cyan Green stepped forward with one hand in his pocket and proposed a duel.
The players were instantly interested and rubbed their palms together.
"Watch me use Little Fire Dragon to crush Jenni Tortoise!"
Impassioned background music symbolized the start of the Pokémon battle.
But when the duel officially started, the players were stupefied.
"Holy shit, is this Jenni Tortoise so fierce?!"
"This AI command can even make Jenni Tortoise shrink into its shell!"
"Brother Jie, don't, Brother Jie!!"
The players who started with Little Fire Dragon immediately sensed the malice from the production team.
When Jenni Tortoise pressed Akin's Little Fire Dragon to the ground.
Big Boss Sakaki, who knew Chi Hong the best.
With the help of the Wonderful Frog Seed, he had already cleared Deep Gray Dojo.
After the victory, he looked at the evolved Wonderful Frog Grass bathed in white light.
For a moment, Big Boss Sakaki was a little lost in thought.
"Is this … his growth path?"
The corners of Big Boss Sakaki's mouth curled up slightly.
"Interesting."
**
Time flew by.
The players were immersed in the game and enjoyed the fun of growing together with the Pokémon.
Iron Xuan finally cleared the second dojo. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled.
"Crap!" Iron Xuan cried out. "I forgot to refund it!"
This was a high-quality game that people were willing to play.
Even refunders would unconsciously become immersed in it and forget how long the game was.
Whether it was the details or the plot, the Pokémon company was full of sincerity.
Of course, for the players who chose Little Fire Dragon, the game process was full of thorns and pain —
And even a little thrill of being abused?
Pokemon rushed to the top of all the major game forums, and the game reviewers gave it high scores one after another.
[Full marks for the plot and gameplay, and the soundtrack is also quite stunning. It's just that the background music in Purple Garden Town is a little gloomy …]
[Awesome! Mr. Lu's games never disappoint!]
[Undoubtedly, it's a work with full marks. Let's talk about something else. Kaluna's side job is a movie queen, Miceli's side job is a gorgeous master, and this champion's side job is a game producer. It's surprising.]
Many reviewers thought that Mr. Lu's new game was expected to compete for the best award of the year on the Oras platform.
On social media, an important tweet once again caused an uproar.
[Dendi: A champion standalone game from Mr. Lu's great work.]
Dendi was already very popular. At this moment, the new game platform attracted many users who didn't know about it before.
Dendi's fans replied to the tweet one after another.
"Why can't my Little Fire Dragon even beat Jenni Tortoise?!"
"Using Galil's Champion Fire-Breathing Dragon to fight in the Kanto region? The person above is so powerful! "
"No one knows more about sponsored partnerships than Galil's Champion!"
At the same time.
Bilibili ushered in a new hot topic. It was a video related to Pokemon.
He opened the game, column, and other sub-sections.
There were finished products in the Speed Pass, Strategy Pass, and even the Ghost Beast section.
"The World's Fastest Pass Record! Choosing this Pokémon to start the game was the right choice! "
"Detailed Strategy: Tactical Analysis and Counter Strategies for Deep Gray Dojo."
"Zhao Zhao's Amazing Journey."
Lu Ye was also browsing these videos on the Internet and chuckled.
He said with a smile, "My friends are really talented!"
He didn't think that such a meme would appear in this world.
He didn't expect that someone would upload the video of his Little Fire Dragon being beaten by Jenni Tortoise to the Ghost Beast section and dub it.
"Do you want to have an exciting Pokémon battle?"
"Please, I'm super brave!"
"How's this Little Fire Dragon developing … Let me check it out!"
For a while, Jenni Tortoise was called "Brother Jie" and it was widely spread among the players.
The video of the fastest pass beat Mr. Lu's "Rainy Day Massacre Team" and reached the top of the game section.
"It only took a day to pass the speedrun."
Lu Ye was slightly surprised and clicked on this speedrun video.
According to the uploader, his main job was to be a senior trainer.
The various tactical videos that Mr. Lu had posted before were the best guides for the speedrun players.
"Is this the world of the big bosses?"
"The difficulty of a game depends on whether the game designer can clear it himself."
"Mr. Lu can probably solo the Four Heavenly Kings if he uses Poison Guard … I can't learn it."
"Just focus on leveling up … Damn, why is this Sakaki's level so high?!"
The speedrun video showed the progress of the speedrun to the Silver Building.
The uploader said helplessly, "The Silver Building is in my opinion the most difficult dungeon in this game."
"First of all, the average level of Boss Sakaki's team is five levels higher than that of my team."
"I barely managed to stabilize the situation by taking potions and taking turns … But Boss Sakaki's Nito has the most terrifying move, Ground Crack."
"I suspect that Mr. Lu changed the hit rate of Ground Crack … It can actually one-shot my Pokémon every time!"
"Or is it that I've been watching Mr. Lu's videos for too long and have been affected by his luck?"
A series of "2333" and "Sorry for the uploader" flew through the bullet screen.
"You're an old friend as soon as you open your mouth."
"As everyone knows, Mr. Lu's luck is unpredictable."
Lu Ye was slightly stunned and couldn't help but laugh.
I just adjusted Sakaki's level to the appropriate level. "
As for his unlucky face … This uploader was clearly trying to smear someone's innocence!
After posting a question mark in the comment section, Mr. Lu's comment was immediately pushed to the top of the list.
"Master Ball!"
"Mr. Lu, hurry up and pay the uploader!"
"The official reply is okay, hahaha."
**
That night, "Pokemon" made it to the trending list, and its sales also soared.
The profits greatly exceeded Mr. Lu's expectations.
The good news was that the food expenses of the little dinosaur wouldn't be a problem in the near future.
Although he didn't achieve his goal of retiring early …
But Mr. Lu's original intention was to let more people feel the charm of Pokémon.
"Yooji ~ ~ (̄ ~ ̄)"
In a villa in Jinhuang City, the young Kirath was chewing on the Sand Sand Rock.
This was a rare mineral bought from Daigo … It cost Mr. Lu a lot of his private savings.
But the sales of the new game were excellent.
Mr. Lu's ego swelled, and he said that he could continue to buy Daigo's collectibles!
"Hello, Mr. Lu?"
Akin's loud voice came from the phone.
"That guy called Dr. Xiu Li contacted us.
"He said that we'll set off for the ruins to investigate after the May Day holiday when there's less traffic!"
That was quite thoughtful. Lu Ye asked curiously:
"Is Little Silver still at your house?"
"That's right, he's coming with me."
Akin glanced at the red-haired youngster, who was completely absorbed in the game, and suddenly whispered:
"He looks even more motivated than I am …"
He had always regarded Sakaki as a target that he needed to defeat.
Even in the game, Little Silver might have dreamed of facing Sakaki head-on.
Lu Ye was blank. "How far has he pushed the game?"
"He looked at the crash course guide … He's about to reach Silver Building."
Before he could finish speaking, Akin held his phone and looked at the stoic Little Silver.
Little Silver clenched his teeth tightly and gripped the controller fiercely as a notification popped up on the screen.
Akin's expression was complicated. "Hey … don't be too greedy …"
Little Silver's eyes were resolute as he stared at the man in the black windbreaker on the screen.
"Again!"
…
Niigata, Rocket Base.
Sakaki only dabbled in the game a little.
Dressed in a black coat, he slowly stood up and put a black hood on his head.
The images in the game corresponded with the scenes from the past.
But I'm no longer the Sakaki from back then.
At the moment, there are more important things for me to deal with.
The real bird's exhausted face appeared in the virtual projection as she reported:
"The information on the Alufu ruins has been sorted out …"
"Thank you for your hard work."
Sakaki nodded slightly. "Turn on the control system of the Sky Fortress."
The real bird was blank for a moment before she lowered her head and said, "This subordinate understands."
In the black technology of the Pokémon world, there was no lack of flying equipment.
Take Sakaki for example; he had a Sky Fortress.
And this warship in the sky was the place where he had fought with Chi Hong.
The night wind whistled as the hatch of the base opened.
The huge ship was hidden in the night, and the sound of its engine was like the low growl of a ferocious beast in the dark.
Sakaki pressed down on his black hood and closed his eyes.
An indifferent red-haired youngster and a humble black-haired trainer appeared in front of his eyes.
There are some things that I have to deal with personally.
Even if it's an ancient god that has been revived, I have a reason to stand in front of it.
Because …
Little Silver's figure appeared in Sakaki's mind.
He abruptly opened his eyes, which shone with a sharp light in the dark.
I am Sakaki of the earth.
"Full speed ahead."
Standing on the deck of the ship, Sakaki looked at the sea of clouds and said sternly:
"Target, the Alufu ruins!"
