Chapter 203 The theme of the second season, the poem of evolution!
After "Pokémon Battle Chess" was launched, many customers in the store were addicted to playing chess for several days and couldn't help themselves.

Many people had various speculations about what type of game the Pokémon IP would be originally intended to be, but it turns out that Gu Feng’s intentions were something they could never guess.

Let everyone guess, who would have thought that Gu Feng would make a chess game?

Before this, who could have imagined that chess could be played like this?
It is said to be a chess game, but this unique chess game cannot be realized in reality at all. It is obviously different from traditional chess games.

Wang Chen has been paying attention to the reactions of players in the store, and wants to analyze whether there are still obvious balance problems in the game from player feedback.

Gu Feng didn't stop him, but he understood that this approach didn't make much sense.

After all, they are all a group of rookies. They are just playing around in the early stage. Only those who can analyze the balance problem will be successful.

Only when people with truly kingly abilities play together a lot can it be really clear which lineups are strong and which are weak.

After all, for those who can beat the king, the original intention of most games is no longer to win chicken, but to win points.

Everyone is a king. Whether you can win the chicken is actually not about technology or operations, but whether you are messy or not. You have to have good props and good cards, and you can really win the chicken.

As long as they are messy enough, the T2 lineup still has a chance to win.

Compared to a lineup with a high success rate after becoming more successful, the kings prefer a lineup with a smooth transition and easier formation. Even if this lineup is difficult to win, as long as it is easy to score points after it is formed, it will be fine.

After all, if you reach this level, you may only get [-] or [-] points for eating chicken, but if you are unlucky, you will have to lose [-] or [-] points directly.

If you think about it, you will know how difficult it is to eat chicken. If you think about it, you will know how easy it is to eat chicken.

High risk and low return, obviously does not meet the requirements for high points.

"One eighth, one day for nothing" is not a joke.

Many kings are trying to get ten points one by one. If one of them suddenly comes, it will lead to cardiopulmonary arrest. If there are two in a row, they may not be able to sleep well at night. If they are extremely unlucky, It's not impossible to score a hat trick and quit the game on the spot.

Precisely because he is the perennial thousand-point king, Gu Feng knows very well who are the people who truly understand the balance of the version.

Don't even think about the balance in the current closed beta. At most, we just want to see if there are any bugs in the game mechanics.

In his expectation, the in-store beta test would only last for a week or two. As long as there are no particularly serious game mechanics problems, it is the last word to officially launch it as soon as possible. As for the balance, it will be left to the majority of players to verify.

Since the first season is a season for players to get familiar with the gameplay of Auto Chess, the entire season is about eight to ten weeks in Gu Feng’s plan. After all, the first season does not have any special mechanisms. Playing for such a long time, there are many Players will get tired of it.

After players become familiar with Auto Chess, the real highlight begins in the second season.

Regarding the design of the second season, Gu Feng has already had ideas.

What is the most attractive and unique feature of Pokémon that distinguishes it from other animations?Evolution, no doubt about it!

In the second season, unique gameplay mechanisms will be designed mainly around the theme of "evolution".

According to Zhao Feng's idea.

First of all, all Pokémon in the second season will use evolveable Pokémon. The evolution here does not include mega evolution. All Pokémon are initially in their unevolved initial form.

The second point is that when the game is in the jungle in the first stage, in addition to the loot balls containing gold coins and props, it will also drop three random evolution stones. Like the props, the ones dropped in this stage will definitely drop. Evolution stones will also be a factor in deciding what lineup players want to play.

In addition, players will also have an opportunity to choose an evolution stone in each stage. The system will randomly give evolution stones with four attributes, of which at least two evolution stones will have attributes that the player's lineup already has.

Then, in the draft after the fifth stage, in addition to ready-made equipment, there is also a probability of evolution stones appearing. The three waves of wild monsters from the second stage to the fourth stage will also reveal a total of 2-4 evolution stones.

Counting it all down, every player can get almost ten evolution stones by the time they reach the fifth stage.

Since some Pokémon only need one evolution stone, and some Pokémon need two, ten evolution stones are used to eliminate the unused ones. Only five Pokémon can eventually evolve to their final form. Very good.

Compared with most lineups, which usually have eight or nine people when they are completed, such an evolution rate obviously requires players to carefully plan the use of evolution stones.

The third point is that evolution means transformation in the setting of Pokémon. Therefore, after evolution, Pokémon's attributes will not only be improved in all aspects, but its bonds may also change with evolution.

Take the hunting of swallowtail butterflies as an example. Before evolution, both spinytails and carapace cocoons only have insect attributes. Only after evolving into their final form and hunting swallowtail butterflies, can they gain the new attribute of flying.

Not only that, after a Pokémon evolves, its characteristics may also change. Therefore, when designing bonds and selecting Pokémon, special attention must be paid to Pokémon with changed characteristics. , but certainly not too much. After all, the bond changes brought about by evolution will definitely increase the complexity of the game. If there are too many, it will definitely give low-level players a headache.

The fourth point is that for evolution, you can still make a fuss about some special Pokémon.

For example, when jungle monsters drop and when you select evolution stones at each stage, there will be a certain probability that the King's Certificate will appear.

Using the King's Certificate, both the Silly Hippopotamus and the Mosquito-Incense Frog can evolve to another branch and evolve into the Hippopotamus King and Bullfrog King. Compared with the conventional evolution method, this evolution method will directly increase the rarity of the card.

For example, if Tadpole, originally a four-fee card, eventually evolves into Bullfrog, it will directly become a five-fee card. While gaining the attribute strength of the five-fee card's final evolution, the leisurely bond will also be transformed into a powerful rain bond. .

Since evolution is the theme, only two Pokémon that can evolve in multiple forms are not enough.

The Awakening Stone, which can evolve male Kirulian into Elledor and female Snow Boy into Snow Demon Girl, can also be used as a rare evolution item that appears with a low probability like the King's Certificate.

Next, there is the Stinky Flower, which can be evolved into a King Flower with a Leaf Stone, and a Stinky Flower that can be evolved into a Beautiful Flower with a Sun Stone.

The fearless boy who can be upgraded to a Kuai Quan Lang, a Flying Leg Lang or a War Dance Lang will be determined based on the attribute tendencies provided by the props he carries.

Spinytails with different evolutionary paths according to gender.

Rock dogs that can evolve into different forms of maned rock werewolves depending on the stage they are in. The first two rounds of each stage are set as day, the middle two rounds are set as dusk, and the last two rounds are set as night.

In addition, it is worth noting that the player's evolution of a certain Pokémon will not affect the Pokémon forms produced by other players, and the number of each card counts all evolved forms.

That is to say, if player A's Charmander has evolved into a fire dinosaur, the Charmander refreshed later by player A will automatically transform into a fire dinosaur, and as long as player B's Charmander has not evolved, the Charmander is still in the form of Charmander, and no matter what form it is, Charmander, Fire Dinosaur and Charizard will be counted as the same card.
