"It is said that the first batch of "Pokemon" has a total of [-] million sets, of which [-] sets were sold directly overseas."

The two boys in front of the mountain were chatting with each other while playing with the NDS in their hands.

"...The local Japanese players are not satisfied yet, the Lord God actually released the overseas version first."

Another boy complained that the two of them were connecting to the machine, enjoying the Pokemon battle.

Although the game just came out not long ago, many people can't even recognize the elves, and there are not many elves in their hands, not to mention things like matching moves, levels, etc., but the battle game between friends is still so popular. They boasted to each other about what powerful Pokémon they had caught.

Especially when someone discovers that a communication connection can make some specific Pokémon evolve when exchanging Pokémon, which has attracted the enthusiasm of the majority of players.

"So God Lord didn't apologize on the Niconico website."

The two boys were talking casually, but their eyes never left the screen.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Yamashita also shook his head and smiled. He felt that it was a long time ago. It is true that the creator apologized to the players and fans, but the content of the apology was that the first batch of games shipped 'only' [-] [-] sets, I'm really sorry everyone

The first batch of [-] million people released the game is already a frightening figure. I am afraid that it will not be able to sell so much, but the Lord God uses the word 'only'. That confidence is really amazing.

Yamashita's occupation is the editor of a game magazine. Before he started working, he was addicted to games all day long like the children in front of him. At that time, he was quite well-known in this circle, and he has been publishing strategies quickly. He is famous for digging deep into game content. After graduation, he became a magazine editor in the game circle with his love for games, and he did a pretty good job.

Not long ago, "Pokemon" was released, and he had been obsessed with the game and bought a copy immediately, and after researching it, he published his own strategy experience in the magazine.

What Yamashita didn't expect was that "Pokemon" would become so popular in the future, and the sales of the magazine that published the strategy increased significantly. His author also made a name for it, and he couldn't help laughing. The close-mouthed editor has been urging him to continue publishing new articles.

And this time, Yamashita identified the 'yellow' version that is said to have a small volume, but the game content is the most different from other 'red, blue and green', and wants to write a new article by studying the things of this version. published.

'This kind of team size... should be able to buy it. '

Yamashita was a little worried, thinking that the store in front of him is already a big store with better purchasing channels than other stores. If the 'yellow' version cannot be bought here, Yamashita will only have the cheek to look at his friends. Who has borrowed to play, no matter how work can not give up!

It was very boring when queuing, especially when Yamashita was alone in line, he didn't come out with his handheld, he could only take out his phone and start landing on the ship to complete some activities.

Unknowingly, Yamashita found that his game life was inseparable from the 'Master God' who appeared like the brightest star, from computer games to mobile games, from mobile games to handhelds, even if a certain One day, the Lord God bought 'Square Enix' to make a large-scale console and computer game such as the Final Fantasy series, and Yamashita didn't think there was anything surprising.

"XXX, ditch again! Tanaka, you are dead!"

Yamashita scolded and stuffed the phone back into his pocket angrily. The two boys in front of him who were playing with the handheld looked back at him, and their eyes were full of schadenfreude and sympathy that made Yamashita dissatisfied.

Yamashita, who didn't want to move the ship for a while, began to read the news on his mobile phone. When he saw that Nintendo was planning to release the new DS series next-generation handheld in September this year, he admired the president Satoshi Iwata. The president is really good at playing. The significance of choosing to release a next-generation handheld that may have been developed long ago at this time is self-evident.

He suddenly wondered how Sony was going to fight against the alliance between Nintendo and Touhou Project, but he was worried about Sony's upper-level people, and it had nothing to do with him.

Although many people know about Niconico Animation, only some people in the industry will pay more attention to some details. For example, Niconico Animation is actually a wholly-owned subsidiary of a shell company called Touhou Project founded by Jingu Yao at that time. It's just a company, and all his businesses are subsidiaries of this company.

Chapter [-] The game childhood that I once missed

(I want to see Yukino Yukino, I want to say that I really want to write, but now there are too many characters, and my writing power is not enough. This is a matter of my personal level. If there are too many characters, I will write it down, unless I It is possible to start over by writing a special episode or opening a new book.)

"Boss, is there any stock left?"

A few people were separated, and a loud shout was heard at the foot of the mountain. He was distracted by the boredom of the queue. He immediately focused his attention, and he was quite nervous. If the boss said 'out of stock', Yamashita really can only go to the shameless management of friends and borrow them everywhere.

"Hahaha! This time I entrusted the relationship with a lot of supply, don't worry, I can't sell it all at once."

The boss's hearty laughter came, and Yamashita was relieved.

It seems that there is no white platoon in his team after all, and finally he has gained something. Yamashita, who is in a much better mood, took out his mobile phone again, and watched the ditched ship girl activities that I don’t know how many times. .

After a long queuing career, I finally arrived at the foot of the mountain, looking at the dazzling computer console game CDs, handheld game cassettes, and even many medieval artifacts in some obvious places, all of which are twenty or thirty years old. The previous unopened old game can be said to be the real treasure of the town store.

Looking at these Yamashita is quite envious. He who loves games once also wanted to open a game store in Akihabara, but the initial capital investment required is not low, for a working-class like him with ordinary family conditions It's basically impossible, and if you want to open a store with the money you earn from work, you really don't know how long you have to save.

"Hello, what do you want?"

The clerk's polite greeting made Yamashita come back to his senses. He was about to say a set of 'pocket yellow' and he hesitated when he said it. He opened his mouth and said, "...Pokemon blue version, green version and yellow version all have one copy."

"Hi! Thank you for your patronage!"

The clerk's movements are very quick, so many people are buying things, even the clerk's packaging skills have been practiced. Without letting the mountain wait, he will pack what he needs, and then pay the money and leave.

'Maybe twenty years from now these will be collectibles. '

He looked down at the game cassettes in his hand and smiled, plus the Pokemon red at home, he also collected the first generation of "Pokemon" this time. For him who likes games, this kind of It is not the first time to buy a copy of all the versions on the market.

He got what he wanted, and the work manuscript this time was also in sight, so Yamashita was not in a hurry. Thinking that he hadn't wandered in Akihabara for a long time after going to work, this time he decided to take a leisurely stroll around here.

Akihabara is still the same Akihabara, and the overall situation has not changed much, but the merchants here are all closely following the trend of the times, and they will advertise for you. They are also businessmen. Making money is the first purpose.

Just like a while ago, all the posters on the streets of Akihabara were all about Kan Niang, although there are still a lot of Kan Niang promotions even now, no matter what, this game is still in hot operation, not to mention the limit, even He hasn't shown his true strength yet, but after the new phenomenon-level game was launched, the merchants all gave up their most important publicity positions.

The place selling card stickers, key chains, stickers and other gadgets is full of elementary school students. It's just to pass a level so quickly. For a game like "Pokemon", which claims to have [-] kinds of elves and is very durable, it is inevitable to play it a second time and a third time seriously. As a result, the concept of divine beasts also began to form among players, letting everyone know that those elves with the numbers at the back are very rare or powerful.

Elementary school students are pursuing these things. They are noisily buying all kinds of game peripherals related to mythical beasts. At first glance, they are going to school to show off. Faced with these requirements of their children, most parents will satisfy them. The boss is full of wrinkled smiling faces. He took out his wallet.

There are still many girls from junior high and high school standing in front of the claw machine in the shop. The pair of white thighs and the absolute field attract the attention of many men. Yamashita also leaned over there to take a look. It is various types of 'Pikachu'. This super cute electric mouse has become a signature idol in the shortest time with the launch of "Pokemon". Look at those wearing Pikachu coats at the door and take photos with passers-by. The customer's clerk will know.

The shouting and chattering of girls can be heard from time to time. This kind of cute girl can't escape at all, especially in this current popular situation, few girls are really maverick and disdain. Take a look.

At this time, Yamashita felt the power of this all-age game. Unlike the usual games that only face the 'house' group and rely only on the 'house' group for consumption, "Pokemon" is a game A real game suitable for all ages, it faces an extremely wide range of groups, and the potential consumer groups will become like this, from elementary school students to dead houses, from dead houses to high school girls, from high school girls to office workers, all of them. are consuming.

Even Yamashita suspects that the Lord of God is actually ready, otherwise the game has just been released not long ago, and even many people have not played the game because the factory cassette is not enough, but your peripheral products have already been put on the shelves so many, no matter how you look at it. Inside story!

Even though he thought so, Yamashita couldn't help but took out his wallet and started paying. Pikachu is so cute, it's good to buy one and put it on the bedside or give it to a girl!

He is no longer an orthodox house, and he has already begun to imagine girls.

The craze of the whole people has already started. Maybe in [-] years, these children will also sigh and remember the impulse and passion of the year, and miss the days when they played "Pokemon" with their friends on the handheld. .
