Bab 16: The Mystery of Pokémon Versions
Although this situation is outrageous, it makes sense in the world of Pokémon. Anything that sounds outlandish becomes reasonable if it happens in the game.
"Maybe GC designed it this way," Diana thought, opening her game and flipping through the Pokédex.
"Huh? Where can I meet Arbok in PDD's game?" she wondered aloud. "And Oddish, Growlithe, Scyther, Electabuzz..."
Seeing the Pokédex, her mind was a whirl. She had encountered many Pokémon in the game but had never seen these before. Why was that?
"Diana, pay attention to PDD's game icon. It seems different from yours!" one of her fans pointed out.
"Yes, Diana's game icon is a red dinosaur that looks like Charizard, and the little girl has a green Venusaur!"
"Why is this happening? Are these two different games?" another fan questioned. "Is someone plagiarizing the game? Is the little sister playing a pirated version?"
During Diana's livestream, eagle-eyed fans noticed the difference between the game icons. PDD's game had a Charizard icon, indicating "Pokémon Red," while the little girl had a Venusaur icon, indicating "Pokémon Green."
Since the game's release, it had taken the internet by storm. Players were eager to download and play, paying little attention to the game's icon. Now, Diana realized that some Pokémon in PDD's game weren't in hers. Only then did she notice the icon detail.
"Why, is there really such a thing?" Diana exclaimed. Reading her fans' feedback, PDD also shouted in surprise, "Wow, brothers, did I download the wrong game version?"
"If there's an issue with my game's version, that's a problem," he continued. Diana, however, remained calm. She remembered an incident with the Viridian Forest bug when the game designer, Indra, had provided a solution. If "Pokémon Green" was pirated, Indra wouldn't have intervened.
Furthermore, during Indra's livestream, he had downloaded "Pokémon Red," confirming it was an official version. Diana concluded that both versions were legitimate.
"Let me make a bold guess. The original design of 'Pokémon' has two versions!" Diana speculated. "Both versions have unique Pokémon, reflecting the uniqueness of each version!"
Her fans were intrigued. "Hey, what she said seems to make sense!"
"Wow, are you sure you are Diana?"
"Top-level understanding, are you really a little girl? She can't be this intelligent, right?"
"Hey! Brothers? Our silly Diana is gone!"
While some fans were dubious, others began to bombard Indra's V-Blog account with private messages, seeking answers.
"What should have come is still here," Indra thought, seeing his flooded inbox. He swiftly edited a long explanation.
"'Pokémon' is not just a stand-alone game; it also includes player interactions similar to online games," he began. This revelation surprised players, who had always considered "Pokémon" a single-player game.
"Now everyone knows that the first generation of 'Pokémon' is divided into two versions: Red and Green. Each version has exclusive Pokémon. To complete the Pokédex, players need both versions."
Indra explained that players could exchange Pokémon between versions to achieve a complete Pokédex. For example, if one player had "Pokémon Red" and another had "Pokémon Green," they could trade exclusive Pokémon.
Diana felt relieved, realizing her theory was correct. She read on, curious about how the exchange would work without an online function.
"To facilitate exchanges, we developed the GBA, the world's first game console," Indra continued. This device allowed players to link multiple consoles through a wireless local area network for data interaction.
The concept of a game console was new to Earth's gaming history, which had always relied on personal computers. Indra's explanation was groundbreaking.
"GBA uses physical game cartridges. Players can transfer their PC game data to these cartridges for free. Additionally, the cartridge version of 'Pokémon' includes a second-week plot, allowing players to capture the legendary Mewtwo after becoming the Alliance Champion."
The introduction of the GBA and its features left players astonished and eager to explore this new dimension of their beloved game.
