Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 319 Welcome to the world of Pokémon! Ash makes his appearance!
After reading the message, Ling Feng clicked on the video.

The screen lit up.

In the early morning in Pallet Town, sunlight streamed through the window and onto the bed. The alarm clock rang, jolting a boy wearing a hat awake. He hurriedly dressed.

The scene shifts to Professor Oak's lab, where the red and white Poké Ball is flashing on the table.

Then came that classic encounter.

Pikachu rolling its eyes, Ash's goofy smile, and the scene where Ash rushes to protect Pikachu without hesitation when the flock of Spearow attacks.

Although limited by funding, the image quality is not high, some movements are not smooth enough, and the background is not detailed enough, but the atmosphere and emotions are perfectly conveyed.

Especially the moment when Pikachu jumps off Ash and lightning flashes.
That's right, that's the taste.

It became.

Ling Feng took a deep breath, calmed himself down, transferred the remaining 10,000 yuan to Night Owl, and added a message.

【Well done. Your skills are excellent; we'll keep looking for more work for you.】

The night owl replied instantly with an overjoyed emoji, followed by another message:
"Boss, to be honest, I initially thought your script was pretty childish, but now I'm actually curious to see what happens next. So, no matter how many episodes there are, as long as you still have the script, I'll give you a discount! I also want to see what happens between this kid and that... Pikachu, yeah, how they get together."

Ling Feng smiled and closed the chat window.

The next step was to release it.

Ling Feng registered an account called "Dream Workshop" and uploaded the videos to "Rabbit Video", the largest video website.

The title is simple: "Pokémon Originals: Episode 1 - Let's Go! Our Goal is to Become a Pokémon Master!"

The description is also concise: "This is a story about dreams, adventures, and bonds. Welcome to the world of Pokémon."

There was no paid promotion, no paid online trolls, and even the cover image was a direct screenshot of the video content.

After uploading, Ling Feng stretched and listened to the wind outside the window, feeling a long-lost sense of peace.

Regardless of the outcome, the first step has been taken.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, in a high-tech live-streaming studio.

A man with long hair and glasses was slumped in a gaming chair, looking utterly hopeless.

He is a well-known game streamer on the "TuTu Video" platform, with the ID "Jiang the Great Demon King".

At this time of day, his live stream would normally be packed with hundreds of thousands of people watching him.

But today, he just couldn't muster the energy.

The new games lately are all so boring; they're either reskins or pay-to-win games, they're making my stomach hurt.

"Guys, I really don't want to play games today, my hands hurt."

Jiang the Great Demon King picked up the iced cola on the table, took a swig, and complained to the camera, "Let's try something different today. I'm looking for any new anime or series that have come out so we can watch them online and give them some feedback."

The comments section exploded instantly.

"Great! The Demon King's吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or witty remarks) is the best in the world!"

"Don't look at domestically produced works. Recently, all domestically produced works are theses and defenses. Watching them will easily cause high blood pressure."

"Exactly, that show called 'King of Cultivation' was absolutely awful. Even the Demon King was so angry that he took it off the air."

Let's see if there are any hidden gems; you never know, we might just stumble upon a treasure.

Jiang the Demon King smiled as he looked at the comments, then opened the anime channel on Rabbit Video.

He also looked helpless, saying that the current animation industry is just like the gaming industry, full of rubbish.

He swiped the mouse, quickly browsing through the colorful covers.

"Peerless Douluo", "The Overbearing CEO Falls in Love with Me", "Rebirth: I Am a System"...

Jiang the Great Demon King's eyelids twitched as he looked at these headlines.

"What is all this nonsense... Have all the screenwriters quit their jobs these days?"

He was about to close the page and chat with the audience when suddenly, the mouse cursor slowed down.

In the bottom right corner of the page, in an inconspicuous spot, lies a video quietly.

On the cover is a boy dressed in red and white, holding a yellow mouse with a lightning bolt tail.

The art style looks a bit...retro?
Title: Pokémon Journeys Episode 1 - Let's Go! Our Goal is to Become a Pokémon Master!

Pokémon?

Jiang the Great Demon King read out the name, his brows furrowing slightly.

What's that name? I've never heard of it.

Moreover, the cover doesn't look like a big production; it even looks a bit like an educational cartoon for children.

But for some reason, perhaps it was the slightly childish or chuunibyou vibe that the name exuded that inexplicably attracted him.

"Brothers, let's take a gamble. This is it."

Jiang the Great Demon King pointed to the screen.

After a brief hesitation, his finger hovered over the left mouse button for half a second before finally clicking it.

The screen flashed, and the video began to load.

The live stream chat exploded instantly, with comments scrolling like a tidal wave, so fast that the words were almost illegible.

[Holy crap? The Demon King really launched it? This name sounds like one of those small, unregulated workshops, 'Dream Workshop,' sounds like a scam for kids.]

[Front row seats for watching the Demon King step on a landmine. This cover is so blurry, the resolution makes it look like it's from ten years ago.]

【Seriously? I waited so long for your broadcast and this is what I get? I don't want to watch reskinned games or this kind of childish animation.】

[Demon King, have you been under too much pressure lately? Has your aesthetic sense deteriorated?]

[I'm outta here, this picture quality hurts my eyes. I'd rather go watch that new movie next door, "Peerless," even though the plot is terrible, the picture quality isn't this bad.]

Jiang the Great Demon King's lips twitched as he looked at the screen filled with negative comments. He actually regretted it; he had simply been distracted for a moment.

At the time, he thought the boy on the cover had a rather peculiar look in his eyes, but now that he's calmed down, it does look like a poorly made, amateurish production.

In today's animation market, even independent productions have to start with a high-end CG intro and a deafening theme song in order to attract attention.

But when you click on this video, it's just a black screen, without even a logo of the production company. The cheapness is practically overflowing from the screen.

"Brothers, since we're here, let's make the best of it."

Jiang the Great Demon King picked up his cola and took another swig, trying to calm the restless comments.

"Anyway, there's nothing fun to do right now, so consider this a warning to everyone. If this animation doesn't grab my attention in the first five minutes, I'll turn it off immediately and we'll go rant about that terrible new release."

Although he said that, he was actually having second thoughts.

This video can't even afford a decent cover, the budget looks so low, what good stuff can you possibly make?
It's probably just some garbage generated from a ready-made template; even looking at it for a second is a waste of time.

Just as he was about to close the window in the upper right corner, the black screen suddenly disappeared and the picture lit up.

Without flashy special effects or rousing music, the visuals appear somewhat quiet, even with a slightly aged, grainy feel.

The first thing that catches the eye is a weathered face—an elderly man wearing a white hat, facing the camera with a deep, resonant voice. "Hello everyone, I'm Professor Oak, welcome to the world of Pokémon."

Professor Oak's voice rang out in the live stream, accompanied by the strange, never-before-seen creatures on screen.

"In this world, there live creatures called 'Pokémon'. Some of them frolic in the grass, some soar in the sky, and some swim in the deep sea. They coexist with humans; some are kept as pets to keep people company during lonely times, while others are kept as partners to fight alongside humans and explore this vast world."

The barrage of comments that were previously flooding the screen with complaints has somehow thinned out.

Jiang the Great Demon King paused for a moment. This style of art... seems a little off?

This is neither the kind of violent fighting and killing common in this world, nor the kind of cultivation fantasy that mindlessly piles on special effects.

The old man's tone was so calm, like a true explorer recounting a real world.

Immediately afterwards, the scenes began to switch rapidly.

A turtle carrying garlic-shaped seeds on its back, a lizard with flames burning on its tail, and a green frog with a large, round head...

These creatures flash across the screen, each one incredibly lifelike. Although the art style is retro, the sense of design is unlike anything ever seen before in this world.

"Holy crap? What are these things?"

"This creature design is quite interesting! That fire-breathing lizard looks really cool!"

"This is called Pokémon? This world seems pretty vast."

"Wait a minute, look at that red ball. The old man said these creatures can be put into that ball? That's amazing! It's like it's storing living things?"

"This concept is pretty awesome! If this existed in real life, it would make walking my dog ​​so much easier, haha."

As Jiang the Demon King watched the trend of the comments shift, his interest also piqued slightly. The world-building was indeed interesting; the concept of coexisting with unknown creatures as partners was quite refreshing for viewers accustomed to predictable tropes.

then,

The scene shifts to a quiet little town.

—PureNew Town.

The sun shines brightly, and birds sing sweetly amidst the fragrance of flowers.

The camera zooms in and enters an ordinary bedroom, where a television is set up and a boy wearing a hat is sitting.

The television was showing a scene in the center of a crowded and noisy arena, where a dark, ghost-like Pokémon was battling a massive snake made entirely of rock.

"Onix charges with its massive body! How will Gengar react?!"

On the television screen, the battle had reached a fever pitch.

Gengar flashed and passed right through Onix's massive body, floating into the air like a purple ghost. Then, it grinned, revealing a strange and cunning smile.

"Gengar used Lick!"

The commentator's excited voice was accompanied by Gengar's incredibly long tongue flicking out on the screen, causing Onix to let out a painful groan and its body to stiffen for a moment.

"...Amazing!"

The boy on the bed couldn't help but peek out from under the covers, his eyes wide with longing.

The comments section also started refreshing.

Holy crap, what the hell is this? It can go through walls? And it seems like it can't be hit by solid objects!

[This giant onyx looks tough and thick-skinned, so how come it couldn't take a single lick from a tongue?]

Is this kid the main character? Wow, he looks so young!

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Xiao Zhi! What time is it? Why are you still watching TV?!"

A middle-aged woman wearing an apron and with short brown hair walked in, hands on her hips, looking at the messy boy on the bed with a look of disappointment.

"Get up quickly! Today is your tenth birthday, the day you get your starter Pokémon! If you're late, Professor Oak will be angry!"

"Ah! That's right!"

Reminded by his mother, the boy named Xiaozhi suddenly jumped out of bed.

He frantically grabbed the alarm clock next to him and saw that the hands had already pointed to a hopeless time.

"Oh no, oh no, my starter Pokémon!"

Ash jumped off the bed in a panic, even putting one sock on backwards. He grabbed a Pokémon Orb hat from the table, put it on his head, and then dashed out of the room like a whirlwind.

"Mom! I'm leaving!"

"Really, this child..." The mother sighed helplessly, then gave a wry smile to the camera.

[Bullet Comments]:
[A ten-year-old can take their pet away from home? The rules in this world are too good, it's hilarious.]

[Haha, I wore my socks inside out, good attention to detail.]

To be honest, it reminds me a bit of when I was late for school as a kid.

The camera shifts, quickly panning across the streets of Pallet Town.

This is a small town full of pastoral charm, with green trees and red walls on both sides of the road. Occasionally you can see a few Bobo pecking at the grass, or a little Rattata darting across the road.

Ash ran wildly down the street, his forehead covered in sweat, muttering to himself.

"Don't be late! Don't be late!"

Just as he turned a street corner, a strangely shaped convertible suddenly drove past him, nearly hitting him.

"squeak--!"

With a sudden stop, the car came to a halt.

The person who got off the car was a boy wearing an orange short-sleeved shirt and with purplish-red hair. He was holding a red and white ball and had a playful smile on his face.

"Ash, you're too slow."

The boy waved the Poké Ball in his hand, his tone full of superiority, "You're not nervous at all. This is your first day as a trainer."

"Xiao Mao!"

Xiao Zhi stopped, panting.

"Does that mean you've already gotten your starter Pokémon?!"

"Hmph, idiot, of course I got it a long time ago."

"As for what you got... I have no obligation to answer that question!"

Xiao Mao pointed to the car behind him, where a large group of cheering girls were standing.

"Go Xiao Mao! Go Xiao Mao! Xiao Mao is the coolest!"

Xiao Mao's lips curled into a smile:
"And Grandpa has already given me the Pokédex. As the most promising trainer in Pallet Town, I'm being given high hopes; I must spread the name of Pallet Town throughout the world!"

"As for you, if you don't go now, you won't even get your starter Pokémon!"
