Immediately after, Shigeru Miyamoto introduced more improvements to Pokemon Kim Silver. The biggest improvement was the image of the Pokemon.
In Pokemon Red and Green, the image of the Pokemon was basically made up of pixels. There was no other way, this was the performance limitation of GB.
However, in Pokemon Kim Silver, the image of the Pokemon had finally evolved into color. Moreover, they were no longer pixels, but had become the color Pokemon in the anime.
Of course, it couldn't be compared to the colorful appearance in the anime, but it was still a huge improvement!
Many Nintendo players immediately expressed their love for the colorful Pokemon after seeing it. They would definitely buy it to the max.
In addition, there were also improvements to the combat system. In addition to continuing the classic combat system of the first generation, there was an additional item function this time. Players had the opportunity to use items in battle. Using different items could improve the abilities of the Pokemon and so on, making the battle more diverse and having more different strategies.
In the past, the most criticized thing about Pokemon was that the combat system was very monotonous. It was still okay when playing the game at the beginning, as players could change their Pokemon to form different strategies.
However, in the later stages, especially in the hands of the liver emperors, the game became quite monotonous.
This was because according to the actual combat test of the players, there were only a few Pokemon. During battle, they only needed to form a team with the strongest Pokemon, and then cultivate and battle according to the strongest skill ratio.
To put it simply, the Pokemon Red and Green competition was basically a competition of the cultivation level of the top Pokemon. As long as the cultivation level was high, and with a fixed skill routine, there would be a great chance of winning.
This was especially obvious in the Pokemon International Tournament, because there was a limit to the cultivation of the Pokemon. Those who entered the finals were basically experts who cultivated their Pokemon to the peak. Their Pokemon values were the same, and their skill routines were also the same.
In the end, it became a competition of miss and critical hit probability, which was very awkward.
Pokemon was not like the online games of the future, where once something was wrong, it could be patched immediately.
It was extremely difficult to patch a game in this day and age. You couldn't possibly recall all the game cards and patch them, could you?!
Therefore, in order to ensure the balance of the combat system in Pokemon Kim Silver, Boss Jia painstakingly added an item system. This system didn't exist in his previous life, and it made the combat more diverse.
After that, Shigeru Miyamoto introduced more improvements. At the same time, he announced that the second half of "Pokemon Unprinted Chapter" would be broadcasted simultaneously on major television stations in 12 countries around the world in three days. Once again, the audience cheered. This was also the climax of the entire conference.

"President, good news! In an hour, we've ordered 1.5 million units!" In the backstage of the conference, Iwata reported excitedly to Yamauchi.
Of course, this order of 1.5 million units was not contributed by the players, but by Nintendo's various distributors all over the world. These dealers would estimate the future sales based on their evaluation of the N64, and then give them the first order data.
Previously, when the CFC launched the conference, the number of orders in an hour was around 500,000 units. This time, however, it jumped to 1.5 million units, which showed that the dealers were very optimistic about the N64.
Because the price of the N64 was 199 USD per unit, this meant that in just an hour, Nintendo had made 300 million USD in sales.
"1.5 million!" When Yamauchi heard this number, he was overjoyed, but soon his face twitched, and then he asked, "Mr. Iwata, how many units do we have in stock?"
"This …" When he heard Yamauchi's question, Iwata's expression instantly froze, then he licked his lips and said, "Currently, 500,000 units have been shipped off the production line and have been packaged. There are another 500,000 units on the production line that will be delivered within a month …"
"That means we can only ship one million units a month at most!" Yamauchi rubbed his wrinkled head and said, "It's only been an hour, and we've already ordered 1.5 million units. Based on past experience, we may have more than 5 million N64 units in the next month. How long will it take us to produce 5 million units? "
"I'm afraid it will take at least six months," Iwata's voice sounded a little stiff.
"What? You want 6 months? Are all the people in the production department eating sh * t? " Yamauchi was furious. He pointed at Iwata's nose and scolded, "We could produce 5 million CFC game consoles in a month before. Why is the production speed six times slower now?"
"President, you can't blame me. The N64 is too complicated. It's completely different from the CFC. Our production line needs to be completely updated. It's impossible to produce as fast as the CFC!"
"Also, there's a big problem with the suppliers. Philips, our partner this time, said that many of the components are custom-made. Philips can only produce 500,000 units of components in a month!"
"Other than that, we still have to order from dozens of different companies. If their production speed can't keep up with ours, then our production line will have to stop!" Iwata said helplessly.
"You mean you don't have a solution to this problem?" Yamauchi was so angry that his knuckles cracked, but there was nothing he could do. Iwata Satoru was not a god who could magically create a mainframe out of thin air.
And this was what made Yamauchi the most angry. The N64's launch was an amazing success. It received 1.5 million orders in an hour, which was far more than the PS. Yamauchi Yamauchi could hold his head high and beat up Nintendo.
But who would have thought that Nintendo would be stuck in production? This was the most disgusting thing in the world. If the production capacity was not enough, then the players would die. Then, many players would be lost to the PS.
Now, the PS had a ready supply of N64's.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Nintendo's N64's production capacity was also limited. Within a year after the N64's release, players would need to pre-order for at least three months before they could get their hands on the PS. Therefore, many players switched to the PS.
"I don't care. I'll only give you three months. Within three months, you must provide me with five million units of N64's!" Yamauchi said angrily.
At this time, the secretary walked in cautiously and said, "President, President Jia from Daqian Games is here. Are you …"
"I'm not meeting him!" Yamauchi Pu snorted coldly and ignored the person who had contributed to the N64's success. However, after thinking about it, he could not just ignore him. Hence, he said to Satoshi Iwata, "Go and meet this proud little guy!"
"Yes!" Iwata Satoru smiled bitterly.
