Pokémon, but cultural invasion

"That's a very convenient device, especially suitable for trainers who are often on the go."

"I understand."

Leier called Quanshu and was told to stay put and that someone would come to help.

...

After listening to Lei'er's description on the phone.

Quanshu's first reaction was that Rale had taken over Red's side quest.

He's a bit difficult to control.

However, Rale's identity is suspected to be that of someone who fought Gengar in the original games, so it's still debatable who has more seniority.

So he contacted Chengmeng and went to rescue Zhenghui.

Upon hearing about the fusion of humans and Pokémon, Orange Dream showed great interest.

Although most of the unexpected consequences of experimental failures are not replicable, Zheng Hui's experience could easily fill a long thesis.

He personally went to the Cape Cottage and, with Zheng Hui's guidance, successfully broke Nidorino's fusion.

Bright's idea for a Pokémon electronic transmission device opened Orange Dream's eyes.

Cheng Meng clicked her tongue in amazement: "Stunning research results, was the inspiration from Polygonus?"

"Yes, I apologize for making a fool of myself in front of my colleagues."

Zheng Hui looked like a wilted eggplant; he had hoped to make a name for himself, but ended up in a tragic situation.

"What are your plans next? My boss asked if you want to join the Tingxiang Research Institute."

"Right on my mind."

Zhenghui answered immediately.

What can he do if he doesn't join?

In order to break the fusion, his underwear was completely seen by Cheng Meng.

Moreover, joining Tingxiang is a good thing, as it means I no longer have to worry about research funding.

Chapter 160 Pokémon Auto Chess

After Zheng Hui decided to join the research institute, a detailed document was sent to Quan Shu.

He was 28 years old at the time, graduated from Yuhong University five years ago, and currently resides in Kanto, occasionally returning to Manjin City.

There are many family members. The older sister and grandfather live in Fuchsia City, while the mother and younger sister live in Goldshire City.

The separation of his family members may be related to his gambling father.

Zhenghui's father was a slot machine fanatic who spent every day in front of a slot machine at the Manjin Arcade.

Zhenghui's childhood consisted of an idle father who did nothing, a younger sister who was crying for food, and an older sister who lived far away in Guandu.

Inside the art studio converted from a photography shop, Quanshu closed his folder.

With a clean background and outstanding abilities, how wonderful it would be if there were more researchers like Zheng Hui, whose talents have been hidden and left to wander.

However, the focus today is not on the research institute.

Quanshu clapped his hands: "Come on, everyone, stop for a moment."

The group of illustrators, led by Jasmine, stopped what they were doing and looked up at Izumi.

They were among the first employees to work at Tingxiang, so they were familiar with the boss and trusted him.

"The A4 paper you are receiving now contains the design requirements for the art assets of the Tingxiangxia game."

Jasmine picked up the printed photo of the demon fire red fox. The bottom of the photo read "Fire" and "Mage," and the side of the photo showed a simple stick figure pose.

"You need to draw the Pokémon's battle pose on a rectangular card."

"The background color and style of the card depend on the [Attribute], and the Pokémon's clothing depends on the [Class]."

Quanshu opened a design sketch of the Blazing Roaring Tiger and said, "Taking the Blazing Roaring Tiger as an example, if its [attribute] is fire, the card's color scheme should be mainly red."

"Its profession is 'fighter,' so its image should emphasize muscular physique and the gold belt around its waist."

"You should understand now, right?"

Little Jasmine listened attentively from below the stage. She was the first to raise her hand: "So the main color of the Demonfire Red Fox is also red, and it should depict its wisdom as a mage, as well as that wooden scepter?"

“Jasmine is right.”

Izumi smiled and said, "The images on the Pokémon cards determine people's perception of the game, so don't let your guard down. Let's conquer the players' eyes with a beautiful and harmonious art style."

The artists examined the A4 sheets of paper with great interest.

Some spirits with different attributes share the same profession.

For example, the [Shield Guardian], the Fire-type Torkoal, the Grass-type Ferrothorn, the Water-type Empoleon, and the Rock-type Rhyperior...

This has sparked much speculation, with some guessing it might be a role-playing game, but the sheer number of cards seems excessive.

"If the Pokémon on the A4 paper has a degenerate form, then their degenerate forms should also be designed with the same card art."

"For example, Charizard, its two degenerate forms, Charizard and Charmander, also need to be drawn separately, and the rules are the same as what I said earlier."

Izumi's additional words shook the artists' previous guesses, making the game's genre even more unpredictable.

Curious Jasmine couldn't help but ask, "What's the point of doing this? Does it need to be reflected in the art design?"

Quanshu thought for a moment and decided that if the artists had a general understanding of how the game worked, they would be more confident in their work. He added that revealing a little bit of the game's content wouldn't hurt.

He explained, "The concept of this game is that there is strength in numbers. The overall combat power of three fire-type Pokémon is stronger than a mixed army of different types."

"When you collect three Fire-type Pokémon, they will evolve. For example, Charmander will evolve into Charmeleon, and Litten will evolve into Tornadot..."

Jasmine suddenly realized something, and she extended the concept to other situations, saying, "Then, if elves of the same [class] unite, can they also unleash even greater power?"

"Congratulations, little Jasmine, you guessed correctly."

Quanshu rubbed her head. "That's the basic principle of how the game works: to build the strongest lineup from a bunch of cards."

"Therefore, in order to make it easy for players to distinguish the [class] of Pokémon at a glance, and to make Pokémon of the same type stand together in a more imposing way, we would appreciate the help of the artists."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the artists in the audience lit up.

This game sounds like it would be really fun.

They have a wide variety of A4 paper on hand, and selecting the right system from them is a real test of the player's skill.

At the same time, each Pokémon's fighting style is likely different, so don't be fooled by their appearance.

Distinguishing who has the ability to dominate the battlefield and who is the shockwave behind the scenes also requires keen eyesight and understanding.

The artists are generally young, and even if they are not game enthusiasts, most of them have experienced their own company's games.

Quanshu calmly took a sip of her herbal tea, watching their restless and excited expressions below.

Where is this?

If you were to bring out all sorts of things like D-cards, drafts, and Hextech synergies all at once, the ever-increasing randomness and fun would surely keep these gaming natives up at night.

Humans are creatures who prefer a semi-passive approach.

If you ask him to assemble the strongest lineup from the deck, he might be too lazy to do it.

If you give him a bunch of cards and tell him to play them in a specific order without being able to change it, he'll find it boring.

But if you tell him that five cards will be drawn from the deck each round, and he needs to calculate his economy wisely and use the randomly drawn cards to build a lineup to defeat his opponent, then the game becomes much more interesting.

Each D-card, draft, and Hextech event is a small release of dopamine, mixed with a bit of gambling.

Understanding this meaning makes it easier to understand why Auto Chess became popular across all age groups in the previous life.

Even nursing homes are seeing the strange phenomenon of people playing chess to prevent Alzheimer's disease.

Without a doubt, Izumi's system, which imitates the most popular auto chess game from his previous life, will once again drop a bombshell in the gaming world of this world.

Unlike the previous games that were ported, this auto chess game really killed a lot of Izumi's brain cells.

Choosing the right Pokémon from over a thousand options, assigning them appropriate roles, and planning the quantity is no small task.

He arranged them based on the characteristics and number of spirits with different attributes.

For example, the types with the most Pokémon are Fire, Water, Grass, Rock, and Flying. Izumi Tree has arranged nine Pokémon in these types, which can unlock the Great Bond Phenomenon.

Dark, Fairy, and Steel types are few in number, but they have special effects.

Based on the characteristics of the fire attribute, Quanshu defines it as aggressive as fire, increasing the attack power of pieces on the field, as well as enhancing skill range and damage.

For Pokémon with high Special Attack stats, the percentage of damage from [Moves] will be much greater than that from [Normal Attacks].

Those with higher physical attack power are the opposite.

The ranking of dual-wielders, who are roughly equal in skill, is determined by the impression they give off.

"Speaking of which, the modules for calm calculation have already entered the competition, and it's time to assign them new tasks."

Izumi Tree Login Navigator, hopefully the creative challenge of building modules didn't overload them.

Chapter 161 The stitching is not bad

"Boss, the most popular streamer and reviewer is about to review our module."

At Zvog Manor, a group of Metagross monsters stared nervously at the computer screen.

The judges in the module competition account for a significant portion of the score, and popular streamers have a strong effect on attracting traffic to the modules.

That's why the Metagross monsters care so much about the evaluation of the Strange Tree.

Although the comments section below their mod was mostly positive, the Metagross was still unsure.

They are not human after all, and they do not understand human thoughts.

"drop--"

"Boss, this is new game content sent by Izumi."

Metagross's brainwaves vibrated slightly on the magnetic communication channel: "It seems he's not pretending this time."

The leader closed his red and black pupils and began to receive information.

"A Flow of Ideas: This is an 'auto chess' game, a genre never before seen in the world, composed of the following components..."

This time, Izumi described his understanding and vision of games in intuitive language, without holding back.

The long string of text in the folder was instantly transformed into a specific game scene and posted by the leader on the shared network.

A group of white stick figure Pokémon attack and move around on a black chessboard according to a certain pattern.

Eight players need to make decisions periodically to adjust their pieces on the field and fight to the very end.

"In terms of the way the chess pieces fight, this game is very similar to Plants vs. Zombies."

The leader quickly concluded that humans seem particularly enthusiastic about the battles between electronic images, even if they are just a string of code.

"Humans are truly a savage species."

Megatron said, “The ancient beast fighting activities have disappeared with social progress, but electronic beast fighting has quietly become popular again.”

In Izumi's revealing game introduction, the leader Metagross has learned about something that interests humans—uncertainty.

Its voice, like the friction of a magnet, slowly said, "Humans are different from us; their weak brains cannot calculate the result in a second."

"What we see as a battle where the outcome is clear without even taking place, they can only see clearly at the very last moment."

"The uncertainty of this battle may be the reason why humans are interested in electronic beast fighting."

The leader's insight made the Metagross monsters realize why they couldn't get any enjoyment from Plants vs. Zombies.

Once the first Peashooter is planted, Metagross has already established its path to victory; clearing the game is just a matter of time.

Humans, on the other hand, need to act step by step and make constant adjustments in order to achieve victory.

You might experience a thrilling and exciting feeling during this process.

Just like the female humans on the screen.
