Can you really "make Pokémon" in the future? Interpretation of Pokémon Strategy Conference

Then, in conjunction with the information released in this live broadcast, I will discuss in detail what kind of "Pokemon" we will see in a few years.

Among the new games announced this time, the "real · game" only has "Detective Pikachu Ending" and "Pokémon MASTERS". 's "Bao (Fang) Dream Adventure" has been logged on the mobile terminal and NS platform of the foreign server as early as May last year. In terms of gameplay, "Bao Ke Dream Adventure" can only belong to the "top 2" Hour of God’s work", the rare number of Pokémon, the simple numerical design, the small increase in krypton gold, the clear degree of liver damage, the simple map to change the skin, after more than 2 hours, the game experience of "Pokémon Adventure" It definitely fell off a cliff. Even if

joins a PVP and social system that is very in line with "Chinese characteristics", the weak underlying gameplay is doomed to the upper limit of "Pokémon Adventure" not too high.

The app "Pokémon SLEEP", which is played through sleep, gives me even more "subtle" feelings. Although there is no detailed introduction, the gameplay and functions of the APP can basically make people guess the same. Sleep quality detection should be the main function of "Pokémon SLEEP". Perhaps the source of inspiration for the design of the APP is a very widely circulated emoticon on domestic social media- as Pokemon .

So what kind of sparks will the cross-border cooperation between the sleep quality detection APP and Pokémon produce? I have an immature idea, that is, in addition to sleep quality detection, "Pokémon SLEEP" can also be added The small function of an alarm clock is great. The one-stop service from falling asleep to waking up is so great. By the way, you can set the sound of a Pokémon as the bed ringtone. This does not fit the theme of Pokémon very well.

Only judging from the current intelligence, the function of this "Pokémon SLEEP" has no outstanding part, and it feels quite tasteless.

Hey, the audience in the audience shouldn’t rush out. The "real · game" is here. The sequel of "Detective Pikachu" that registered on the 3DS platform in 2016, "Detective Pikachu Ending", can still catch up The Dongfeng, which is popular in the movie of the same name, can also extend the product line of Pokémon IP. New or not, do you love it?

However, for those who have not contacted "Detective Pikachu"I think it is necessary to remind the audience of the game. First of all, the positioning of this game is still quite awkward, saying that it is an independent game, at least it has a very complete story, and the decryption gameplay is not too bad; but if you take it Compared with the orthodox sequel of Pokémon, the price of 1,500 yen is much cheaper. It can be seen that the production cost is not the size of the orthodox sequel. The fragrance of

is definitely not.

Don’t worry, I think each of you has a mobile phone. Don’t you just want to watch the “new work” of the mobile game, "Pokémon MASTERS" is not coming. The protagonists of the past dynasties appear on the same stage, 3V3 passionate confrontation, classic turn-based gameplay, restore the most orthodox "Pokémon" game experience, are the friends in the audience enjoying it?

At least from the preview, the single-game rendering of "Pokémon Masters" is almost the same as the orthodox sequel. From the perspective of the finale of the promotion and the luxurious lineup jointly developed by GF Headquarters and DENA, "MASTERS" should become the next mobile game son to succeed "Pokémon GO". Compared with "Pokémon GO", which has a more personal attitude towards the development of the mobile market, the characters in the previous works of have appeared one after another. "Pokémon MASTERS" whose gameplay returns to the core is aimed at our old Pokémon players Up.

​​also has a very important issue for Chinese players. "MASTERS" may not use the "GO" AR gameplay, which means that even if there is no national server, Chinese players will not want to play like "GO". Scientific Internet hasn’t felt like being a trainer in the city where you live. Of course, as a Pokémon fan, I am very happy that "GO" and "MASTERS" can go hand in hand to allow more people to play "Pokemon".

This should be delicious enough.

Xiaogang is really exciting. In addition to the

game, there are also very important content in this conference — peripherals and peripherals. First of all, is the Pokemon Center that is about to open a new store in Shibuya. The official Pokemon T-shirt is also It’s about to be launched in Asia, but I personally feel that the official T-shirt and Uniqlo’s joint model a few days ago are almost like a cloud of mud. In the display, it is actually worn by the president Henghe Ishihara as a model. The illusion of "old sweater".

may be the "GO PLUS" of "Pokemon GO" and the sales volume of Poke Ball is indeed good. Nintendo has also found a good way to sell special peripherals. The GO PLUS2.0-Bao Ke was also disclosed at this conference. Dream GO PLUS+ is compatible with the gameplay of "Pokémon GO" and has support functions for the upcoming "Pokémon SLEEP". GO PLUS itself has sensors. What new features will GO PLUS+ add is worth us Looking forward to it.

So the question is, should it be called Pokemon GO PLUSPLUS or Pokemon GO ++?

In this press conference, I personally think that the closest "fan" should be the cloud wizard storage box named "Pokemon Home". The predecessor of is the support software "Pokemon" for the orthodox sequel of Pokémon on the 3DS. "Bank", the role is to achieve different generations of Pokémon deposit and withdrawal functions. The significance of Pokémon Bank for Pokémon works on the 3DS platform is that it perfectly opens up "X/Y" "AS/OR"" The three generations of "day/month" are separated, and the three generations of game works have been merged and sublimated into a community that integrates collection, training, and battle. When

arrives on NS, the functions of "Pokemon Home" will be more abundant. It can not only accept the wizard transmission of "let's go" on this platform, but also receive your previous Pokémon from Pokémon Bank, and even "Pokemon GO "Pokemon Home" can also be transferred to "Pokemon Home", but it should be noted that the above works can only transfer sprites to "Pokemon Home", and the real access function of is the first generation on the upcoming NS. The orthodox sequel-"Pokémon Sword/Shield", and all orthodox works on the NS platform afterwards.

But this also involves the versatility of a wizard , after all, the 3DS platform wizard transmits at willThe premise is based on the same genie code, and in orthodox works, the individual differences of elves are distinguished by the numerical value named "individual value", while the individual elves of "let's go" and "Pokémon GO" use It is the CP value. The advantage of the individual value is that the old players have been exposed to so many generations, and the acceptance is higher; and the advantage of the CP value is that not only the strength of the same kind of elves can be distinguished by comparing the values, the CP value also represents a Only the overall strength of the wizard, and more intuitive, the new player accepts a higher degree.

Therefore, there is a conversion process to transfer the wizards of each generation of works to "Pokemon Home". Either the individual values ​​of the wizards of the 3DS generations are converted into CP values, or the "let's go" and "Pokemon Home" The CP value of the wizard in "Dream GO" is converted into individual value.

If you want me to choose from the perspective of a player, the workload of converting individual value to CP value is more, but it is more friendly to players, so I use this conversion method.
