Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 289 193. Still not satisfied

Pikachu can degenerate into Pichu, but what about other Pokémon?

The friends present couldn't help but become curious, so they all took the initiative to ask for bites.

After the Charmander degenerated, it turned into a smaller Charmander. The name annotation below is [Fire Dragon Treasure].

After Bulbasaur Seed degenerated, it became [Tadpole Seed]

After Squirtle degenerated, he became [Squirtle Hatchling]

There was no such thing in the Pokémon of the previous life, these contents were all newly created by pokeni now.

The main reason is that using Pichu as the initial character seems a bit inconsistent with the Gosan family at the beginning, but if Pikachu can degenerate, it would be unreasonable that the other Pokémon do not have corresponding degenerate characters.

So on this basis, a lower level form was added to maintain the unity of the game.

But the effect of this operation is also quite good, making the children laugh.

"The Fire Dragon Treasure is so small. Look, it's so cute!"

"What's yours? Look at mine. Even Bulbasaur's appearance has changed after it degenerated."

"Giggle, giggle...it's really like that."

The children laughed heartily.

The most magical thing here is the Bulbasaur, but if you think about it carefully, it's natural to turn into a tadpole.

Tadpole Seed has a big round head, with a wide fan-shaped tail trailing behind it, and there is a small seed on the big head, which is smaller than Bulbasaur. It looks really cute.

And after turning into a tadpole seed, even the way he walked changed, turning into wagging his tail back and forth.

Of course, the speed hasn't changed, so it feels like this guy is swimming back and forth on the grass.

Seeing the Pokémon turned into like this, the children all let out a little shrill laughter.

My stomach almost hurts from laughing.

"but……"

Uesugi Noboru is a little worried now.

"How can I change it back?"

In the game, if you are attacked by an enemy once after you become smaller, you will die. They know this.

And after death, the [Number of Shared Pokémon Resurrections] on the left will be reduced by one.

The initial number of resurrections is only 15. Once it reaches 0, it will be Gameover.

The problem is that they don't know how to change back after they become smaller.

But everyone soon discovered the secret of [evolution]——

There are two bars above the head of each player's Pokémon, one is the health bar, and the other is the energy bar.

Whether you attack enemies or obtain props, you can increase the progress of the energy bar. As long as the energy bar is accumulated to full, the Pokémon will naturally evolve.

And the energy required for evolution will become more with the number of evolutions.

To evolve from a small form, such as Pichu to Pikachu, you may need to eat two apples to evolve.

But if you want to evolve from Pikachu to Raichu, you need to eat 5 apples to evolve.

After discovering this fact, everyone was so excited that they jumped back and forth on the ground like little rabbits.

biubiubiubiu! ! !

In the game, Noboru Uesugi's Pikachu energy accumulated to the full level, and then the screen gave a close-up. The silhouette of Pikachu appeared in a white field, and then the silhouette quickly expanded and turned into the silhouette of Raichu.

When the screen returned to the game, Pikachu had completed its evolution and turned into a larger Raichu.

The reason for this is that current programs are not able to achieve excessive changes in the difference between models with relatively large differences, and if it is implemented through real-time calculation in the game, it will also consume a lot of performance on the game console. If it is too big, it is better to implement it directly in silhouette, that is, to complete the change animation in 2D, and then replace the 3D model of the Pokémon in the process.

It not only saves resources, but also gives players a familiar feeling of intimacy.

After all, in the Pokémon animation, many Pokémon have a "guess who I am" link.

Even using 2D to represent the evolution process is enough to trigger a rapid surge of dopamine in players.

The current few young players are in such a state of extreme excitement, and the dopamine in their brains is extremely high.

"Wow, my Pikachu has evolved!" Noboru Uesugi jumped up excitedly and almost dropped the controller to the ground.

"Really!"

"Wow, so my Charmander can evolve too?"

"I want to evolve too!"

"I also want!"

The children shouted with joy.

After Pikachu evolved into Raichu, not only did its appearance change, but its size also almost doubled.

At the same time, the skill was also changed to thunder.

Thunder can throw a thundercloud, and a bolt of lightning will quickly strike down from the thundercloud, which is astonishingly powerful.

"did you see!?"

"See, my skills are so powerful!!!" Uesugi shouted.

The other friends had no time to be envious and only cared about when their energy bar would be enough, so everyone started looking for props more actively while playing the game.

…

After a while, Uesugi's mother knocked on the door.

"Ahhhhhhhh~~~"

"Cackle, cluck..."

The shouts of the children inside could be described as deafening. Uesugi's mother couldn't help but frown, feeling that her head was going to explode.

After knocking a few times and seeing no response, Uesugi's mother pushed the door open.

Only then did everyone turn around.

"I just called your parents to confirm that you can sleep here tonight."

"Very good!!!"

The children cheered!

"Mama Uesugi, I love you!" Reiko shouted loudly, wishing she could throw herself on Uesugi's mother and give her a good kiss.

"Ah, this kid, what are you talking about!"

Uesugi's mother's cheeks turned red just by brushing them.

He quickly walked out and closed the door.

but……

It seems that I forgot something.

When they walked downstairs, Uesugi's mother realized what she was doing, so she walked upstairs again.

Continue to open the door and be reminded:

"It's almost 9 o'clock now. If you play for a while longer, you have to go to bed."

"Okay mom."

"Okay auntie!"

No one had much time to pay attention to her.

Play like a charm.

Uesugi's mother couldn't help but sigh, and then walked out of her son's room silently, not forgetting to close the door for them.

…

The fifth level is a mini-BOSS battle.

BOSS is the secondary evolution of Sweet Bee, and its name is——

【Queen Bee】

The first evolution of Sweet Bee is Triple Bee, and then Triple Bee evolves into Queen Bee.

The queen bee carries a pair of slit wings, wears a long skirt, and has a pair of red compound eyes.

In terms of size, it is more than twice the size of the Raichu currently used by Noboru Uesugi.

Standing in the honeycomb-shaped BOSS level gives people a condescending and oppressive feeling.

In the BOSS battle, Queen Bee will not only attack herself, but also summon Sweet Bee and Three Bees.

Except for the cheerful and fast-paced BGM, everything else in the audience was the buzzing of bees.

Every once in a while, the Queen Bee will throw out a ball of venom.

The venom will remain on the ground for a period of time. If you are hit by the venom or step on the venom, it is equivalent to receiving damage once, and the Pokémon will automatically degenerate.

So this level is actually quite difficult, because you have to constantly avoid the venom on the ground, and at the same time attack and deal damage to the Queen Bee. It feels a bit like playing a 5-player game in World of Warcraft in the future.

Several friends were highly nervous throughout the whole process.

After a while everyone turned into little cuties.

"Ahhhhh!"

Noboru Uesugi shouted anxiously. Before entering the level, he was only a Raichu, but now he has become a Pichu.

Although it is easier to dodge after becoming smaller, the output is also reduced a lot.

However, as the front level, pokeni is still designed to be humane. It does not raise the numerical difficulty too high, but puts a little pressure on the players.

The Queen Bee's venom attack frequency is actually not high, but the scene looks a bit chaotic, and it is inevitable that mistakes will be made while busy. Coupled with the surrounding buzzing and the exciting and fast-paced BGM, players can feel a strong sense of oppression.

In addition, there will also be some props used to fight the Queen Bee in the venue——

The Big Apple.

Each apple is as big as a Raichu. You need to pick up the apples and smash them to the Queen Bee or other little bees.

Finally, after using up a total of three resurrection opportunities, the four children worked together to defeat the Queen Bee.

Boom!

For the final blow, Bulbasaur smashed the apple at Queen Bee, causing the health bar to return to zero.

Then the screen stagnated and entered the ending animation——

The queen bee covered her head, spinning in circles and falling down.

The defeated queen bee degenerated one step and turned into three bees, making a buzzing sound on the ground, and the dizzy UI on her head rotated back and forth. From this, we can see how upset she was after her failure.

Then the settlement interface for clearance pops up.

The Pokémon returned to the big map, and just then a prompt panel popped up.

[After defeating Queen Bee, the Pokémon successfully purified her using the Purification Gem. 】

[From now on, players can use Three Bees as characters. 】

[Each player can press the menu button and change his Pokémon by left and right. 】

After this UI popped up, the three-bee avatar flew like a meteor to the Pokémon avatar in the upper left corner of the main interface.

"Eh?"

Several friends were stunned for a moment and looked at each other.

"What just happened?"

"It seems that after defeating the Queen Bee, you can now use the three bees!"

"Ahhhhh!"

Everyone reacted at the same time and screamed.

"You can use Three Bees as characters!"

"Ah! I didn't expect there to be such a setting!"

Noboru Uesugi and the others initially thought that this game would be about the three families and Pikachu as characters going on an adventure, but they did not expect to get such a big surprise here.

In other words, the enemy Pokémon you encounter in the game may actually become one of the characters you will use in the future.

Oh my God!

It not only has a fresh side-scrolling game feel, but also retains a strong Pokémon flavor.

Where can there be such happiness in the world?

Ah, Reiko covered her forehead, feeling like she was about to suffocate with joy.

The friends were so excited that they rushed to apply for the Queen Bee option.

"I want to play!"

"I want to play too."

“I want to try Queen Bee!”

"No! Rock, paper, scissors!"

…

In the end, Reiko got the role of Three Bees.

The friends were convinced. On the one hand, she really won the rock-paper-scissors game, and on the other hand -

She is a girl, and the Queen Bee, the evolved form of the Three Bees, is also a girl, so it really suits her.

Xiaoli was very happy to get three bees, and she looked like a queen.

Three Bees has its own flight function, so even without getting the balloon, Reiko can go to some high places that are usually inaccessible, which also brings great convenience to subsequent clearance.

After Three Bees evolved into Queen Bee, their body shape was similar to that of Raichu, not as exaggerated as the BOSS form.

"Why was Queen Bee so big when she was the BOSS, but now she's only so small?" Reiko asked in confusion.

"Um……"

"Ah, I know!"

"It must be because the previous queen bee turned black, so her body was alienated after she became bad. Now that she has been purified through the purification gem, she has naturally recovered." Skinny Monkey said.

"Wow, Skinny Monkey, you are so smart."

"So that's it."

"Yeah, that must be true."

pokeni made this design to maintain the unity of the players' characters. At the same time, as a BOSS, you need to have a sense of pressure from a large size.

The children's logic is also very self-consistent. In their opinion, the main reason why Queen Bee's BOSS form is so much larger is because she was infected with the virus, which had an impact after being blackened, and her body shape also changed.

If Qing Zhiyuan heard their discussion here, he would definitely be very moved.

Because Qing Zhiyuan himself didn't think that much at all.

…

After a while, my mother pushed the door open again and shouted with some dissatisfaction:

"It's too late, I have to go to bed."

When I looked at the time, it was almost 10 o'clock.

Normally everyone would have been fast asleep by this time.

Although they haven't played enough yet and are still immersed in the game, Uesugi's mother's attitude is very determined, and several children have to put down the controller in their hands and go to sleep.

Urging them to leave the room and wash up, Uesugi's mother shook her head.

These kids are so outrageous.

Without adult restraint, I can probably play all night long.

…

As expected, Reiko was given a room alone by Uesugi's mother.

Reiko lay under the quilt at night, feeling very happy.

The levels played today are all related to bees and farms.

The dreams I have at night are all sweet.

And in the dream, Reiko also dreamed that she became the queen bee.

…

After breakfast the next morning, several children started playing again.

There are a total of 10 levels on the first level, and the last level is [Sweet Cold Beauty Queen]

Tian Leng Mei Queen evolved from the fruit Pokémon [Tian Leng Mei Queen], and its final form is the cool [Tian Leng Mei Queen] wearing red boots and having long green hair.

Its skirt-like part can still be seen as a mangosteen, and the part with multiple vertical hairs is actually a leaf-like part. It is also a sweet and hard shell cover with yellow grain patterns on it.

Tian Lengmei also has remarkable slender legs, and she is also a master of kicking.

The first-level mansion boss will throw seed bombs, and small mangosteens will grow out of the places where the bombs hit. The difficulty level is a little higher than that of Queen Bee.

However, the friends now have experience and have made great progress in operation and reaction ability, and they quickly defeated [Tianlenmei Queen]

With the Sweet Cold Queen defeated, the entire first level is completely purified.

The color of the grass also changed from light yellow to dark green, and small flowers grew on the ground.

And [Tian Leng Mei Queen] has also been added to the list of new optional characters.

…

With the first level purified, a long ramp leading to the second level appears on the right side of the screen.

The four children were dancing with joy.

"Oh yeah! We've entered the second level!"

"Great. I wonder what the second level is and what kind of Pokémon are waiting for us."

"Yeah, let's go quickly, I can't wait!"

The second level is ocean-themed, so there are basically water-type Pokémon and levels that revolve around water.

However, the performance of current PS machines cannot support a good water effect, so it looks a little strange. The water itself is an opaque material, and it also has a very old-fashioned blue effect that is earthy and scummy.

Although Qing Zhiyuan was extremely disgusted, considering the limitations of this era, he could only make do with it for now.

Each level has a different theme.

The first level is farm and forest.

The second level is the ocean.

The third layer is the desert

The fourth level is the snow mountain...

And each layer is matched with the corresponding Pokémon, giving players a sense of reality.

The levels are also designed according to different themes on each level. For example, in the ocean level, there is a surfing link.

In the desert, there is windy sand, and walking is slow. If you stay in the sand for too long, you will fall into it.

All kinds of things...

Of course, these performance effects are very simple and rough. For example, water is a large water surface, which looks more like moving blue cloth than water.

The same goes for the desert, with a sand material effect drawn by art on a large surface.

But just like that, pokeni has tapped the performance of Sony's PS console to the extreme.

The effect was that although it failed to achieve Qing Zhiyuan's ideal effect, it won the love of the children.

Noboru Uesugi and the others have a great sense of freshness and fun when playing each level.

…

After playing for two and a half days, by Sunday night, several friends finally passed all the levels.

Successfully defeated the final boss Pokémon Luciferus, thereby purifying the entire world of Potela, and everything returned to tranquility.

With their mission completed, Pikachu and the others can finally bid farewell to this strange 3D magical world.

The game came to a successful end.

The list of production staff also began to appear on the screen:

[Producer: Lisa Asano]

[Script: Mika Ishino]

[Main Art: Kitajima Gosho]

…

When they saw the subtitles, the four friends didn't react yet.

There are 70 levels designed in total among 7 levels. After finishing it, everyone still feels that they are still unsatisfied.

"Ah~ is this the end?"

"Yeah, it's too little, right?"

"I feel like I haven't had enough fun yet."

"Yes, yes, I feel like I just finished the game after playing it for a while."

The friends looked regretful and melancholy, feeling like they still had something to say.

…
