Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 374 278 What I have suffered, I will pay it back one day

Chapter 374 278. What I have suffered, I will pay back one day

When the two sequels to Pokémon 3D World came out, they were like a bomb, and countless players said they couldn't stand it.

However, this is not the end.

In February, P's Pokémon body, the latest orthodox sequel "Pokémon Light/Dark", was officially launched.

"Pokémon Light/Dark" not only includes the new Pokémon from the previous Pokémon 3D world, but also adds Sun Eevee to the two different game versions of Light and Dark. and Moon Eevee.

It meets the expectations of countless players.

"Oh my god, Moon Eevee and Sun Eevee are so beautiful, aren't they? I don't know which one to choose for a moment."

"Ah~ pokeni is really fast. I didn't expect that Dark Side of the Moon and Myth of the Sun, which were only released during the Chinese New Year, would already be included in the regular works.

When I was playing the game, I was thinking, in what year will such a beautiful Pokémon be able to join the battle.

I didn't expect that it would only be achieved in just over a month.

Should we say that pokeni understand players, or that we have already been eaten to death by them?

I hope it's the former. "

In fact, the development plan has been in place for a long time. After the development of Pokémon 3D World was completed last year, Qing Zhiyuan began to ask Asano Lisa and others to form a team to develop Pokémon Light/Dark.

It's just that the decision to add Moon Ibrahimovic and Sun Ibrahimovic was only made in the second half of 1996.

At that time, Qing Zhiyuan considered that since Dark Side of the Moon and Sun Myth had already come out, it would be natural for Moon Eevee and Sun Eevee to be very representative of darkness and light.

It's better to add them directly to this new light and dark Pokémon, and you can still sell them for a wave of money.

Yes, I'm sorry, Qing Zhiyuan's mind is always thinking about business.

The results were in line with his expectations. After hearing that Sun Eevee and Moon Eevee were added to Light and Dark, players went crazy.

"Sun Eevee is really good-looking. His hair, eyes, and shape are all so beautiful, just like an elf prince.

No, to be precise, Eevee Sun is the Apollo of the Pokémon world. A sun god-like existence. "

"No, no, I still like Moon Eevee better. Even though its hair is all black, it's a bit scary. However, when those haloes on Moon Eevee's body shine with the appearance of the moon, don't be too beautiful. .

It's so beautiful that I can dream about it when I dream at night. "

“I want both of them, so I’m very confused, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... why do the pokeni officials give us such a difficult problem?

Why can't all Pokémon be collected in one Pokémon? It would be great if both Sun Eevee and Moon Eevee were collected into it.

The content is obviously the same, but it is split into two parts and sold. It is simply abominable. "

"Who says it's not? Whether it's Eevee Sun or Eevee Moon, they are actually our favorites. When these two Eevee came out, they were so cute.

They are both cute and beautiful, and one is mysterious, one is noble, one is elegant, and one is arrogant, making people really unable to put it down.

It would feel sinful to give up any of them.

I really don't want to make a choice. "

But no, Qing Zhiyuan was also troubled by this problem in his previous life.

The official explanation given by pokeni now is:

We don’t want to collect all the Pokémon in one game cartridge. The main purpose is to facilitate players to battle and exchange, thereby promoting social interaction among players.

If you play games with others, you will get twice the happiness.

Only children make choices, adults want everything.

Many people even bought two copies of Pokémon just to have Sun Eevee and Moon Eevee at the same time. One each for light and darkness.

For people who don't have enough money but want it very much, they have to write and share it with other good friends and get what they want through Pokémon exchange.

As for social players, they won't want to play against others or socialize with others at all. They will buy two copies at the same time and play with themselves.

…

In addition to Pokémon games, Pokémon peripheral products are also on the shelves.

For example, stuffed toys and pillows, especially the [Pokémon Cat Bag] designed by Qing Zhiyuan, are selling like crazy.

After a New Year, young people carrying Moon Eevee or Sun Eevee cat bags can be seen everywhere on the streets.

There are even many people who have transformed their cats into Moon Eevee and Sun Eevee.

To a certain extent, Ibrahimovic is really similar to a cat.

It is precisely because of the popularity of Pokémon that countless pets have been harmed.

In addition to cats, pet dogs have also been treated badly.

So many times you can still see the barking Moon Eevee or Sun Eevee running all over the streets.

This phenomenon is also called the "Ibrahimovic phenomenon" by the media.

Roughly speaking, this is the group effect caused by Pokémon like Eevee, along with its countless different evolutionary branches.

As a result, players have a soft spot for it and do all kinds of weird behaviors in order to express their love for Ibrahimovic in real life.

…

The trend in the pet industry was also driven by pokeni.

A large part of DUN's peripheral income is contributed by Pokémon.

In addition to dolls, Pokémon gashapon machines and claw machines are also important sources of income.

In large shopping malls and important celebration venues, you can see Pokémon gashapon machines and claw machines everywhere. There will always be people who can't help but be attracted by the exquisite and cute Pokémon in the claw machines.

Even without games, anime alone is enough to make them very famous.

And everyone’s preferences are different.

Some like Pikachu, some like Eevee, some like Bulbasaur, some like Charmander...

And the more evolved the form, the rarer it is, the more players want it.

…

The New Year is full of joy, and Pokémon can be seen everywhere.

It can be said that this is a national carnival, or it can be said that it is a victory for Pokémon.

The children's New Year's money was sucked up by pokeni in an instant.

Many adults have also bought Pokémon, and basically everyone has to buy them in battle games.

Moreover, this kind of game is very personal and private, because everyone needs to cultivate Pokémon, whether it is to fight with other players or to exchange, in short, after collecting Pokémon, they become It becomes the player's personal property, with specificity and exclusiveness.

Under such circumstances, the sales of Pokémon are also rising steadily.

Basically, without doing any statistics, you can probably understand that the beginning of 1997 must be the world of Pokémon.

The entire game market has become like Pokémon.

…

It's so scary. Who would have thought that Pokémon could have such powerful energy?

Even up to now, the biggest change brought about by Pokémon is——

When people think of family games that they can play together, Rentendo's Super Mario is no longer the first thing that comes to mind.

It's pokeni's Pokémon.

This is enough to show how terrifying the influence of Pokémon is now.

Especially in the Omi market, Pokemon are being killed like crazy.

In the Neon area, at least the GB before Rentenda can still barely occupy a place. Sega's GP game console does not have a complete monopoly. In addition, the number of people in Neon is not as large as that of Omi, so the sales volume of Pokémon is not yet So scary.

But it's completely different in the Omi region. This has been baptized by Sega's GP, or to be precise, Pokeni's handheld Pokémon for more than 4 years.

Such a huge market has actually already taken the shape of Pokémon.

After the introduction of Pokémon animation in the Omi region, it reached its peak.

As soon as the orthodox sequel to Pokémon came out, the Omi Market exploded on the spot.

There was even a situation where the goods were sold out, and many dealers had to wait for a while to find pokeni to get urgent goods.

In the Omi region, Moon Eevee and Sun Eevee went crazy.

The moon and the sun are indeed the greatest worship objects and mascots of mankind since ancient times.

As long as you can relate to it and don't do it too low, you can always achieve good results.

What's more, Moon Eevee and Sun Eevee are Pokémon with very "cat-like" nature. The cat-like nature combines the sacredness of the sun and moon, which instantly makes people happy, and at the same time, there is also a sense of cuteness and intimacy integrated into it. Isn’t this going to kill you?

Players in the Omi region couldn't stand it.

"So cute, Sun Eevee!"

"What a beautiful and elegant Moon Eevee!"

"I bought them. I love them so much. I must buy them. I want a portion of them all.

If my cats could look like this, I would definitely rub their faces every day. "

"Ah~ I wish there could be such things as Pokémon in reality. Eevee Moon and Eevee Sun become pets. Just thinking about it makes people extremely excited."

…

In short, the Pokémon's several bursts were a great success in both the Neon and Omi regions.

It has become one of the most popular games at the moment.

Even because it was sold out, many players who wanted to buy it failed to do so.

Seeing others being the first to experience the fun of capturing and using Eevee Sun and Eevee Moon, these guys were filled with envy.

If production capacity hadn't failed to keep up, the Pokémon series would have created even more arrogant and terrifying results.

At the same time, it was precisely because of the success of Pokémon that Sega was able to survive through the handheld console and was not doomed by failure in the console market.

There is also more revenue to invest in the next generation of research and development.

For this reason, as the president of Sega, Mr. Hayao Nakayama even called Qing Zhiyuan to express his gratitude.

It's not really a thank you, it's just an ordinary New Year's greeting. He also expressed his blessing for Pokeni's new game on the handheld console, and hopes that GP Pokémon Light/Dark will be a big hit.

It is not easy for someone with a stubborn character like Nakayama Hayao to achieve this level.

You must know that not long ago, President Nakayama was resentful because P Club helped Sony achieve great success instead of Sega helping in the game console field.

However, times have changed, and now President Zhongshan almost understands Qing Zhiyuan.

The Sega Saturn really may not be able to drive the 3D games they want to develop, and even if it can achieve this step, the game effects may not be better than Sony's.

At least Paradox did not completely break away from Sega, but continued to exert efforts in handheld consoles, which also helped them stabilize the handheld console market.

Just for this reason, Nakayama Hayao couldn't hate Qing Zhiyuan.

…

In other words, after 1997, a three-legged situation almost formed in the gaming field:

First of all, the biggest piece of cake, the console platform, is firmly dominated by Sony, becoming the new game console overlord.

In the field of handheld consoles, Sega GP is far ahead. It is expected that Sega will launch a new next-generation handheld console by the end of 1997 or 1998.

In terms of game cartridges/discs, Rentendao is still the leader. After all, they have too many excellent games, and they can continue to make money as long as nothing happens, such as the Super Mario series, Kirby series, and The Legend of Zelda series. , Fire Emblem series...

But now, catching up, the most surprising and frightening thing is the rising star who was unknown a few years ago——

pokeni.

The sales volume of Pokémon alone is enough to place Paradox among the first-tier game manufacturers.

After this wave of sales ended, pokeni's game revenue in 1996, without counting peripheral sales, had firmly settled into the second place.

Became the largest game developer second only to Rentian Neon.

If revenue from peripheral products is added to the mix, pokeni has already trampled on Rentendo.

As for 1997, countless people had a vague illusion——

Could this guy really be able to kill Rentian Tian?

…

It doesn't really matter to Qing Zhiyuan whether he kills him or not.

He works so hard and just wants to tell others:

What I lost...

Ahem.

The insult I received from Yamauchi will one day be paid back.

And this time is not far away.

Qing Zhiyuan deeply felt the call of destiny.

…

However, nothing can be achieved in one step. You have to eat one bite at a time and do things one by one.

Playing slowly and steadily is Qing Zhiyuan's style.

When the rear of the game is stable.

After the New Year, Qing Zhiyuan and Tsuda Nao visited Hitotsubashi Fumi-e together.

…

Ms. Hitotsubashi Fumie was recommended to the producer of Qing Zhiyuan by Shunji Iwai, the director of "The Proposal Battle" at a previous party.

Qing Zhiyuan is holding the information about the producer given to him by Mr. Shunji Iwai:

Hitotsubashi Bune (English name chloris, nickname Lissie)

Born on July 15, 1969, now 27 years old.

American-Japanese mixed race.

His father is a neon novelist, and his mother is an American and an executive at Sony Colombia.

Hitotsubashi Bune was interested in the entertainment industry since childhood due to the influence of his parents.

Because of her mother, she is very familiar with Hollywood and has experience in film production.

Before returning to China, he worked as a production manager and associate producer on several films in Hollywood (Devil Striker, Groundhog Day, The Last Day, The White House, and Highest Danger).

I returned home because I was not satisfied with pure Hollywood commercial films.

Now, this young producer is living in the Japanese-style house left by her grandfather in Chiyoda District.

Haven't entered yet.

An Akita dog rushed over.

Qing Zhiyuan was thrown onto his back.

Nao Tsuda felt nervous and hurried over to check.

"Are you OK?"

The large Akita dog had no intention of attacking Qing Zhiyuan. It just squatted on him and licked Qing Zhiyuan's chin to the brow with its dog's tongue.

A face full of spit.

"Hahaha... I'm so sorry. I didn't expect Xiaoqiu to like you so much. He's not usually like this."

A girl wearing a Japanese kimono ran out.

But to be honest, Tsuda Nao didn't think she looked like a girl wearing such clothes at all.

Because this girl has long blond hair and big blue eyes, and her facial features are exquisite and three-dimensional, more like a Westerner.

Only the soft face shape and smooth jawline give her the charm of an oriental girl.

When Tsuda saw it for the first time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart——

What a lovely girl.

…

"Is that Miss Fumi-e Hitotsubashi?"

Nao Tsuda asked.

"Yes, I am Ichihashi." Fumii Ichihashi bowed deeply, "I'm sorry, Aqiu wasn't like this before. Maybe he likes you too much."

At this time, looking at Hitotsubashi Bun-e again, Nao Tsuda suddenly felt it was appropriate again.

Although she has a Western face and the delicate skin of an Oriental, Fumi Hitotsubashi is standing in front of her in a kimono, but Nao Tsuda feels that such a girl and such a beautiful white satin kimono are simply perfect. They complement each other.

It's so beautiful.

Like a white rose standing in the sun.

It turns out that this is the producer recommended to us by director Shunji Iwai.

But at the same time, Tsuda Nao couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart——

Can such a young producer really bring Moon River's films to the international market?

The OMI film and television industry has its own special rules. To be precise, it is not only the film and television industry, but also other fields of OMI——

I am naturally averse to faces from the East.

If you have an American face and an American identity, it will be much easier to do things there.

This is why Shunji Iwai recommended Hitotsubashi Bunga to them.

Because he felt that Hitotsubashi himself was a mixed race, and with his mother’s connections, he had also worked as a producer in Hollywood for a period of time and had some work experience. In addition, Hitotsubashi himself was ambitious and had the other half of his life. Neon bloodline.

If she can join Yuehe, then she will have a strong grasp in both the Neon and Omi regions in the future.

Now it seems that is more or less the case.

The only thing that worries Tsuda Nao is——

Hitotsubashi Fumie looks too young.

…

Fumi Hitotsubashi quickly pulled the Akita aside and looked at Nao Tsuda and Qing Zhiyuan with some amusement.

Qing Zhiyuan was licked with saliva all over his face.

He frowned and stood up.

I didn't expect to meet in this way for the first time.

"Hello, I am Tsuda Nao, the president of Yuehe Company. We made an appointment before.

This is our specialist and my husband, Mr. Qing Zhiyuan. "

Tsuda Nao covered her mouth and laughed.
