章 24: Clash of Titans: The Anticipation for "Pokemon Pikachu"
The game "Pokemon Pikachu" is essentially a reimagining of the original first-generation game, bringing the classic adventure into a new light while retaining the core elements beloved by fans.
Indra, having finalized the second upcoming Pokemon game, was on the verge of posting game trailers online. He noticed that the internet's hot search list was dominated by entries from CA, his main competitor.
[CA Company officially announced the official animation of "Pet Collection"! !]
[CA's exclusive game console WeGame countdown! !]
[The trial operation of the game peripheral experience store of "The Collection of Cute Pets" is about to start, click to make an appointment to visit the store! !]
CA had strategically released several pieces of warm-up news to generate buzz for their new console. They invested heavily in public relations, securing a dominant presence on the search lists. Despite this, Indra decided to go ahead and post the game trailer for "Pokemon Pikachu."
"What? GC has updated the V blog!"
"Pokemon Pikachu? A brand new version for anime fans?"
"A new game so soon? And you're announcing it on the same day as CA?"
"Competing with CA? The official announcement today might not have the desired effect!"
"Is GC going to challenge the penguins?"
"Front row for the drama! Front row for the drama!!"
The players were abuzz with excitement upon seeing Indra's V-blog update. The timing of his announcement, coinciding with CA's news, was seen as a deliberate challenge. Who would believe it was a coincidence? The players were ready to witness the first head-on clash between GC and CA.
While the two were not pitting new games against each other directly, it was the new game from GC versus CA's new console. This scenario of an emerging studio challenging a top-tier game company was tantalizing. The players eagerly read through Indra's V blog.
In addition to in-game screenshots, Indra included explanations highlighting the similarities and differences between "Pokemon Pikachu" and the original games. He had made several key changes:
Firstly, Indra had significantly improved the game's graphics and redesigned the protagonist, Red, to resemble the animated version of Ash. Secondly, the protagonist now started with Pikachu, reflecting the animation's plot. This change meant the traditional starters were no longer available at the game's beginning.
Indra also made Pikachu the only Pikachu in the game. There were no wild Pikachu to catch, and any NPC who originally had a Pikachu now had a different Pokémon. Moreover, the protagonist's Pikachu could not be released or evolved into Raichu, even with a Thunder Stone. Pikachu followed the player around, and Indra added a [favorability system], allowing players to interact with Pikachu and receive feedback based on its mood.
These unique features, combined with Pikachu's popularity in the animated series, made the game feel fresh and exciting. Players were thrilled by the screenshots and explanations Indra posted on his V blog.
"Wow, Pikachu actually follows behind the player?"
"The new Pokemon game? And it's linked with the animated series?"
"Did someone request a Pokemon game like the animation plot? GC actually made it happen?"
"Favorability system? You can talk to Pikachu and see its expressions?"
"The game settings for 'Pokemon Pikachu' are not just close to the animation; they are exactly the same!"
The game also allowed players to obtain the three traditional starters at different locations, mirroring the animation's plot. Indra chose not to reveal how to get these Pokémon, leaving it for players to discover.
To further enhance the game's immersion, Indra included Nurse Joy from the Pokémon Center, who also appeared in various roles within the game, just like in the animation.
"Not just Joy! I see Jenny in the screenshots too!"
"Joy and Jenny are in the game?"
Indra also updated the game's villains to match the animated series. Jessie and James, along with their talking Meowth, replaced some characters from Team Rocket's plot in the game.
Players bombarded Indra with private messages, eagerly anticipating the game's release.
"New players are still reading the preview, but old players are already messaging Indra, urging him to release the game!"
"A must-buy, right? I'm buying it!!!"
"I need to play Pokemon Pikachu right now!"
"I can't wait any longer for Pokemon Pikachu!!!!"
As the views on Indra's V blog surged, the anticipation for "Pokemon Pikachu" grew, positioning it as a formidable contender in the gaming world.
