Is it not a galgame?

Chapter 132 36. Can pokeni be magical? !

Qing Zhiyuan is really not in a hurry.

Now this result is almost within his expectations, and the results were not very good when the Pokémon in the previous life was released.

Although so much has been paved in this life, it needs a period of time and a process of fermentation, just like cooking soup.

The cartoon has just aired 3 episodes, and although there is a certain amount of popularity now, it has not achieved a particularly large influence after all.

Kimura's ad has a certain appeal, but Kimura is not yet a hot national idol.

Another very important point -

The sales of Pokémon also depend on the sales of Sega GP to a certain extent. Before the popularity of Pokémon, Sega’s new handheld has only 60 copies, so it is impossible to reach 60 copies. Can you achieve great success in the platform?

So Qing Zhiyuan said that he was very calm, and after a while, with more fermentation, Pokémon's performance will naturally improve.

This is the world's number one IP!
……

There is another point that Qing Zhiyuan did not analyze——

Primary school students have limited purchasing power, and office workers with purchasing power have not yet been attracted by Pokémon.

So this constitutes a buying vacuum period.

After a while, elementary school students begged their parents to buy handhelds and Pokémon for themselves, and then office workers with purchasing power were influenced by the people around them and gradually fell into the trap...

That's when the game really took off.

Now it is equivalent to that the fire has been lit, and it is in the process of waiting for the prairie fire.

……

"Huh? How could this happen?" Hiroyuki Hattori sat in the office, puzzled.

After more than a week of release, Pokémon failed to sell even 7 copies. You must know that other games of Paradox have almost sold 10 to [-] copies during this period.

Hattori Hiroyuki clutched his chest in excruciating pain.

Qing Zhiyuan, that bastard...

I obviously threw the game cassette into the trash can, why can't the Pokémon get up?
Hey.

Sure enough, pokeni is always good at other types of games. Once the game works for all ages are developed, there will be no good results.

So did Prestigious Academy, and now so does Pokémon.

but……

He glanced at the new Sega handheld on the table.

Could it be because the game console was not thrown away?

……

At the same time, Hayao Nakayama's expression on Sega's side was not very happy.

He was uncomfortable not because of Pokémon, because Sega didn't pin its hope of releasing the handheld on Pokémon at the beginning. When talking about cooperation, Nakayama Hayao didn't care too much about what Pokeni wanted to develop.

Everyone is on the same boat, developing their own games on the platform of the new handheld, that's all.

Sega did it, Pokeni did it, Sony did it.

It's just to see who can come up with a product that can bring out the performance of the handheld and successfully go out of the circle.

For Sega, it doesn't matter who it is, as long as it has such a game, it can push it.

But so far, it doesn't seem to be happening.

Hayao Nakayama is uncomfortable because the growth rate of Sega GP's sales is not as good as he imagined.

It stands to reason that color-screen handhelds must be the trend of the times, even if Ren Tiantang's dead ducks always say that the color-screen technology is not mature enough, and before the color-screen handhelds become the mainstream, they are not afraid of the impact of color-screen handhelds at all.

However, Zhongshan Falcon's ambition is very clear. At this time, Ren Tiantang is probably as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He also wants to make Gameboy into a color-screen game console by all means. Maybe it is already in the process of research and development.

Sega's new handheld completely crushes Rentiantang in terms of performance, and the price is the same as GB, but the only thing that loses is that there are too few games, and there is a lack of masterpieces.

Now it can sell more than 60 copies, and it is still growing, mainly due to Sega's own "Sonic the Hedgehog"

"Damn Konami! Damn Namco!" Hayao Nakayama was extremely angry, "These guys talked nicely, but in the end, none of them took action!"

……

Seeing that Pokémon sales are not very good.

The chief editor at Famiton finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because this time Famitsu still only gave Pokémon a low score of 29 points.

This magazine is really a model of perseverance and unyielding. In the last life, even when facing a big master like Ren Tiantang, Famitsu didn’t give Pokémon much face. It scored 28 points, which is a bit lower than it is now. point.

Famitone’s biweekly commented like this:

[The Pokémon game is developed on a handheld, so the screen can only be described as unsatisfactory.

After all, it is restricted by hardware equipment, so there is no way to show how exquisite the effect is.

The playability of the game itself can only be said to be average. The battle is a well-regulated turn-based game, but it is far inferior to other turn-based RPG games in terms of strategy depth and collocation.

The plot also seems a little weak. The protagonist acts as a trainer along the way, defeating various opponents, and then wins the championship. The purpose is clear and simple. There are no ups and downs in the plot and stories in the middle, and the bond between people and pets is far from being achieved. The animation is so contagious.

Generally speaking, whether it is the protagonist or the plot, there are not many bright spots in the setting.

The villains and other competitors are stronger than the protagonists.

Such a plot is almost equivalent to no.

Compared with other RPG, or turn-based games, it seems a bit dwarfed.

However, the game has its own characteristics and highlights.

In terms of characteristics, training your own Pokémon is very exciting, and you can cultivate your Pokémon step by step, especially when the Pokémon evolves into a more powerful pet. This sense of accomplishment is really indescribable .

Moreover, Pokémon has created a fairly extensive ecological network. Different Pokémon live in different environments, and Pokémon with different personalities have different behavior habits.

Even in the text description, you can feel the intentions of the production team.

More than 150 Pokémon, it takes a lot of time to design, not to mention filling these pets, so that their image and habits can be real and cute, which is not easy.

There are two different versions of Pokémon Fire Red and Pokémon Leaf Green. They have their own exclusive Pokémon. Players can fight online or exchange Pokémon.

This is a pioneering work in the history of games.

What a rich and bold imagination is required to develop such a system in a handheld.

It is precisely because of the battles and exchanges that allow Pokémon to interact among players and successfully establish a connection between players. From this point of view, Pokémon has very prominent highlights.

All in all, it's a barely passable game. 】

The comments of other editors are probably similar.

It probably means that Pokémon has its own originality, and it has done quite well in Pokémon design, world structure, and interaction between players.

But the disadvantages are also very obvious. In each battle, although Pokémon can be replaced, it is still a 1v1 battle. Such a turn-based game is indeed less strategic to a certain extent.

Compared with the current mainstream Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, there are fewer strategic dimensions that can be used.

The innovation of combat gameplay is actually insufficient. Even with the blessing of Pokémon's cultivation elements, it is not enough to amaze the editors.

In addition, the plot is very thin, that is, to fight through Pokémon and win the championship all the way...

Up to now, the editors of Famitsu have not really figured out why the previous games of Pokeni have proved that they have very powerful script writers, but why the plot on Pokémon is so simple that people can’t even feel it ups and downs.

Relatively speaking, the performance in TV animation is simply not very good.

It is for these reasons that the editors of Famitsu have not been able to give Pokémon a particularly high score.

7778.
The total score adds up to 29 points, which is considered a passing score. It is a pity that it failed to become a hallowed game, but the editors said they have tried their best.

When the editor Nagahama Hiroichi saw this score, he broke into a cold sweat.

The main reason is that P Club is completely different from other game manufacturers. It is difficult for this game developer to measure it with conventional rules, such as the reverse engineer last time, and the mermaid heart last time...

Famitone can't give high scores at all, but the sales of these games are inexplicably good.

Pokeni is a monster in the game industry, and there is no telling what strange things will happen.

If there is another situation where Famitsu gives a low score, but the game is loved by players and the sales are amazing, Hamamura may not be able to hold back.

If it goes on like this, he and the four editors responsible for scoring will lose their jobs.

If you can’t make a fair score from the perspective of players, and choose games that match their hearts for players, then Famitone’s reputation will definitely decline.

Fortunately, this time it seems to be tense.

Pokémon's sales performance cannot be said to be bad, but it is definitely not good.

"It seems that the players' eyes are discerning." Hamamura said, "This kind of game is quite unique, but it can't sell particularly well, which is also a good indication of the problem."

At least this time, we stand with the players.

"Looking at it this way, it's obvious that Golet has taken advantage of pokeni." Editor Hiroshi Kato also put the latest issue of "Golet" on Hamamura's desk, jokingly said.

Hamura opened it and took a look.

Sure enough, in Guoletong's magazine, there is a large report on Pokémon, and many photos of the game are published, and at the same time, the game is highly rated.

Although the negative comments have said something, they are certainly not as honest, strict and straightforward as Famitone.

Generally speaking, Guoletong appreciates Pokémon more than criticizes it, and even made some detailed strategies in the magazine.

Although he was not very satisfied with Kato's rash assertion, Hamamura also had to think about the same problem at this moment——

Has Guoletong received money from pokeni?
It feels like this magazine has a special liking for pokeni. Every time a new game of Paradise has not been released or is about to be released, Guoletong can always follow up and report it in the first time, and even dig out exclusive items that other magazines do not have. news.

"Well... don't say such things in the future, Kato." Hamamura stared seriously, "Just be ourselves."

Facts speak louder than words.

Pokémon sales are the best proof.

No matter how well Guo Letong plays, players just don't like it.

……

But gradually, as time went by, Hamamura found that something was not quite right.

Because pokeni's "Pokémon" game is particularly weird.

Although the sales in the first week were not very good, but as long as Pokémon is broadcast every week, the sales of the game will jump up to a higher level.

In the second week, sales of Pokémon games had reached 3 copies.

This can already be regarded as a strong player in ordinary games.

In the third week, Pokémon sold more than 10 copies.

In the fourth week, it was 20 copies.

"Mom!!"

Famiton's editorial department is about to explode.

The editors who were in charge of grading before had an unbelievable look on their faces.

"What... what happened?" Kato's fingers trembled uncontrollably after he got the latest data.

Before, everyone thought that the Pokémon game was so-so, and the performance in turn-based games was not very eye-catching. How could it be completely subverted in such a month?
Not only Kato was dumbfounded, but everyone else was also extremely puzzled.

"Do pokeni have magic?"

"I heard that because of the good sales of Pokémon, Sega's game consoles have also been mobilized."

The key is--

Such a sales trend is almost unheard of in Bincun.

Because the game is called the ninth art, and it has some similarities with film and television.

Generally speaking, the first month before the release of new games accounts for a very high proportion, and a rough judgment on the future trend can be made from the sales in the first week.

It's a bit like playing a movie in a movie theater. Many viewers watch it first in the first month, and then the attendance rate will gradually decrease as time goes on.

Although there is a long-tail effect, coupled with future activities and so on, it can increase the long-term game sales, but it is impossible for the increase to be particularly exaggerated.

Unless it's something like Rentian's Super Mario.

It stands to reason that the game "Pokémon" has already decided life and death in the first week, but I didn't expect that the stamina would be so strong, enough to amaze everyone.

He couldn't help but think of the words his colleagues said just now——

Are pokeni magical? !

……

When I came home on the weekend, I found my youngest daughter, who was in the first grade, was lying on the floor watching a cartoon of "Pokémon".

Seeing Bincun come back, he was very happy, and he handed him slippers and brought him tea and water.

At such a time, Bincun knew that this guy must have something to ask for.

Who knew that when he asked casually, his daughter lay on his shoulder and begged, "Dad, don't you rate games? Then you must be familiar with the people who make games?"

"Well...not really." Hamamura said with a smile.

"Dad, can you buy me a Pokémon?" The daughter pointed to the cartoon playing on the TV and said, "Several of my classmates have Pokémon, and I want to play with them."

"what?"

Hamamura looked bewildered.

What kind of magical game is Pokémon? !
