Zachrogg Jr. was right. The thousands of players outside were all loyal fans of Pokemon.
Some readers might be curious. Pokemon wasn't released in the United States yet, right? How did it suddenly have thousands of loyal fans?
This was the strength of Nintendo.
After developing in the United States for more than 10 years, Nintendo had unified the console game market in the United States. Naturally, it had a large number of fanatical fans.
All the fanatical fans' love and passion for Nintendo's games was far from what other fans could compare to.
Many of Nintendo's games were released in China first and would only be released in other regions after a few months. Therefore, these fanatical fans would often use all kinds of channels to obtain the game cartridges from Fusang at all costs. Then, they would play to their heart's content before other American players.
Of course, these players wouldn't let go of the Pokemon game that swept the Fusang. Although the Fusang game cartridges were all in Japanese, these players relied on their fanatical love for games and had already figured out the meaning of some games that were commonly used in Japanese. Therefore, they could immediately start playing Pokemon.
After playing the Pokemon first, the American players were completely immersed.
Damn, this game was too fun. How could there be such a fun game in the world!!!
Although there weren't many fanatical players, each of them was basically a small sun that could radiate to their classmates and friends. Therefore, there were already many American players who were very familiar with Pokemon.
However, Pokemon was different from other Fusang games that they had bought before. If one didn't understand Japanese, it would be very painful to play this game.
The reason was simple. The main point of Pokemon was the Pokemon. These Pokemon were all labeled in Japanese.
United States players could use their own efforts to understand the meaning of some commonly used Japanese words in games. However, it was really difficult to understand the meaning of the 165 different Pokemon names.
Not to mention, Pokemon was a game with a lot of RPG plots. If one couldn't understand the plot, it would be very frustrating.
Moreover, the United States didn't have an Englishmen group that was willing to sacrifice themselves for others. There was also no internet or electronic dictionary to translate for them. Therefore, these fanatical players had a hard time playing the Fusang version of Pokemon.
When they found out that Pokemon was finally going to be released in North America, they all excitedly rushed to the entrance of Nintendo's company. They wanted to be the first to get a copy of the United States version of Pokemon. As the United States version was naturally in English, they could finally understand the names of the Pokemon.
Although there were many people outside who wanted to enter, Nintendo's company was still too small. Therefore, only about a hundred people could enter the company...
After the entire hall was filled with people, Nintendo's press conference finally began. Nintendo's CEO, Yamauchi Hiroshi, personally went on stage to give a speech. As for the content, it was very dry. It was similar to a leader's speech. Anyway, it made people sleepy.
However, Yamauchi Hiroshi still gave Pokemon a lot of face. He directly praised Pokemon as the best video game of the 90's so far.
Then, it was Minoru Arakawa's turn to go on stage. He started to talk about the gameplay of Pokemon. At this point, the audience's interest was finally piqued. Minoru Arakawa seemed to know what these fanatical players wanted the most. He even started to introduce the English names of the Pokemon and their portraits.
Finally, they could hear the commands of the Pokemon in a familiar language. All the netizens and media reporters were excited. Only Yamauchi Hiroshi, who had just finished his speech, had a bad expression.
This was to be expected. When he was speaking, everyone was drowsy, but when it was Minoru Arakawa's turn to introduce the game, everyone became excited, which was quite depressing.
At the end, Minoru Arakawa announced the official version of Pokemon and its price.
The official version for sale this time was called "Pokemon Yellow – Blue." Other than the language being in English, there was basically no difference between the red and green versions. However, Boss Jia had adjusted the form and appearance of a few of the little elves. It was considered as an extra Easter egg for the American version.
Finally, Minoru Arakawa announced that the price of Pokemon was 59 USD per box. This was a reasonable price. It was within the expectations of all the media.
Since the press conference had reached this stage, according to previous conventions, it was about to end. Some of the media had even started to pack their bags and prepare their positions.
However, at this moment, Yamauchi Hiroshi's voice sounded in the hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen, when I came here today, I found out that the developer of Pokemon, President Jia of the Rocket Game Co., Ltd. has brought me and all the guests a special mystery gift. Now, I would like to invite President Jia to present this mystery gift to everyone!" Yamauchi Hiroshi's words successfully attracted the curiosity of all the media reporters. Little Zuckerberg was also surprised to find that the young Hua Xia beside him stood up and walked to the stage. She picked up the microphone and said to everyone with a smile, "Because I only have 20 minutes, I won't waste any more of your precious time. Let me present this gift that belongs to all the fans and players of Pokemon to everyone!!"
As Boss Jia's voice ended, the originally bright hall instantly darkened. All the lights were extinguished. The only light came from the movie screen behind Jia Yapeng.
At the same time, a loud shout resounded throughout the hall.
"I got a Pokemon!"
This was shouted in Japanese, which shocked everyone present. Most people didn't understand what this sentence meant, but the other Fusang people standing on the stage showed a very surprised expression on their faces.
Could it be …
In the fire, in the water, in the grass, in the forest
In the skirt of the girl in the clouds (Ah ~ ~ ~!!)
…
Along with this extremely exciting music, exquisite animation scenes flashed across the movie screen. Countless lifelike Pokemon showed their cute and charming figures in the animation.
The Pokemon had actually quietly turned into an animation!!
