With the attention of all parties, "Pokemon" was finally released. As Ji Kong said before, the red and green versions were directly released.

According to official information, the two versions have no difference in plot experience. The only difference is that the limited elves are different.

This is simply a naked robbery. Many people are already waiting to see jokes. In their opinion, Ji Kong must pay the price for his arrogant speeches before. After all, the hearts of the slaughter are delicate and sensitive. Like Ji Kong's previous arrogant speeches, it is easy to make people disgusted.

However, they did not know that Ji Kong had formed an effect now, an effect called "Produced by Teacher Kong, it must be a fine product."

Ji Kong's previous works, whether it is "Sword Art Online", "One Piece", or "shool_days", can be ranked among the top fine products in various industries, which makes consumers feel confident about him.

Just like Hiroyuki Sawano in his previous life, as long as he sees a certain anime composed by him, no matter how the quality of the anime is, a large group of people will shout "hegemony booking".

This is the effect brought by celebrities, which can also be called halo.

Ji Kong now has such a halo, not to mention that he is a model worker in the AG industry, and he has never delayed the creation of more than three works at the same time. This kind of professionalism is admirable. Many people say that even if the quality of "Pokemon" is average, they will buy it to collect it.

It was against this background that Pokémon was finally released.

In just one week, major physical stores were almost out of stock. Although there was basically no such thing as game cartridges, enthusiastic consumers often buy out of stock in the physical store in a short period of time.

When the physical store is urgently purchasing goods, players who can't wait have to buy the digital version.

Compared with game cartridges, the digital version has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage of the digital version is that you don’t have to wait in a physical store, you just need to download it online and you can play it directly, which is convenient and fast. After binding the host id, you don’t have to worry about the game drop.

But the disadvantages are also obvious.

First of all, if you get tired of playing the digital version, it will be inconvenient to deal with it with second-hand version in all senses.

Secondly and most importantly, the digital version does not have collection value!

This is the most important point, because this is the first generation of Pokémon, and there are limited edition gifts included in the physical packaging; at the same time, this is also Mr. Kong's first orthodox game work, so the collection value of the game cartridge is very high.

If the quality of the game is average, it would be fine, but the quality of Pokémon is very high, so those who buy digital versions may still buy cassette versions.

In just one week, Pokémon became popular in the gaming world.

Although it is now the era of VR games, handheld games always have the advantage that console games and PC games cannot shake, that is, they can be played anytime and anywhere!

Workers can play while taking the subway, and students can also play during breaks, but the console game is obviously not possible.

What's more, Japan is a fast-paced country, and busy people don't have much time to stay at home and play games.

So VR games are great, but if you don’t even have time to play, how can it compete with handheld games?

Therefore, console games and handheld games are like two non-aggressive areas. There is no saying that because console games develop into the VR era, handheld games will be eliminated.

Unless one day the VR game can be played like a handheld game, and can be played anytime and anywhere, then the handheld game may be truly threatened.

What's more, the most important thing about games is gameplay.

Just like Ji Kong's previous life, there are VR games, but each sales are extremely dying. For example, the widely anticipated "Resident Evil 7" had not exceeded one million before Ji Kong's time travel. Instead, the pixel-style "Minecraft" ranked first in the game single-piece sales with its excellent game performance with a sales of 140 million.

Although the VR game in this life is much more mature, the VR game still has a long way to go before reaching the "complete immersion" style in "Sword Art Online".

The advantage of "Pokemon" lies in its gameplay, and it is very playable. Unlike some games, it cannot be picked up after passing the level.

In fact, the biggest charm of "Pokemon" is its rich gameplay after it passes the level.

One day after the game was released, the famous Japanese game magazine "Famitong" gave it a rating: a full score of 40, and you can directly enter the Platinum Palace!

This is the 15th game that has received full marks after 14 games including "Zelda", "Monster Hunter", and "Super Mario".

Hiroichi Hamamura, editor-in-chief of "famitsu" magazine, wrote a comment for him:

[This is a game full of freshness, a novel world view, and rich game elements are the charm of this game. Its complex game data is even more imaginative. It is said that these data are set by Teacher Kong himself? It is really incredible. In short, this is a magical work, and it seems that it will never make people feel bored. Although I have only played for a day... I won't say much, I'm going to hatch eggs.]

"Famitong" is the most authoritative game review magazine in Japan and even Asia. As soon as its rating was released, it immediately caused a sensation in the gaming industry.

Players who were still watching bought it one after another, and because of the high quality of the game and the good communication and combat environment, they recommended it to their friends around them one after another.

Under such a "domino effect", the sales of "Pokemon" showed an explosive trend for a while!

In just one week, the sales of "Pokemon" exceeded 400,000!

Even Ji Kong was shocked by this sales. You should know that the total sales of normal games exceeded one million, which is already considered good (the total sales of Real Three 7 were 1.34 million). Ji Kong was not sure about the first week of Pokemon's sales in his previous life, but he thought he had not reached this level.

Later, after contacting Nintendo's president, Tatsuji Koji, he found out that it was the Chinese market that was making efforts.

After all, Ji Kong is a Chinese, so even if he is now in Japan, in the eyes of Chinese citizens, this is also a game for his own country. In addition, China is the world's largest population country, and he attaches importance to copyright in this life and has a developed economy. So "Pokemon" became crazy in China, with a higher sales volume than Japan.

For a moment, Ji Kong was also deeply moved. As a person who traveled through time, he understood the embarrassing position of "Pokemon" in the Chinese market in his previous life.

Ji Kong also participated in the '7+1' petition that made the game world tremble and even made people cry (Note 1). Only he knew how complicated his mood was at that time. Unexpectedly, China has become the largest market for "Pokemon", which can be said to be a disaster.

But no matter what, "Pokemon" is really popular. Although it is not sure whether it can reach the level of "Super Mario", at least those who once mocked Ji Kong are now shut up!

ps. Before "Pokemon Sun and Moon" was released, even if it was in seven languages, there was still no official Chinese version of "Pokemon".

Therefore, many Chinese people who love "Pokemon" spontaneously organized themselves, using the method of making videos and sending letters to request Nintendo to release another Chinese version based on the seven languages. This is the 7+1 petition. Now, when searching for "Pokemon" petition on Bilibili, you can still find videos.
