Pokémon, as the highest sales IP in history, hit a record high of US$894 million in 2019. Behind his cute and soft appearance is his terrifying money-making ability and his full-time IP influence.
Recently, Pokémon's official Twitter released a message about the trailer of the new Pokémon series. For a time, speculations such as "Pokémon Kendo DLC lifted the ban" and "Pokémon Pearl/Diamond Replica" have also become the catchphrases of many loyal fans. Under the attention of
Pokémon has become a life tutor, and the parenting game is officially launched
Pokémon has a very magical phenomenon in the circle, namely, "small and small", the cute and vivid elf design is a memory of adults and the hearts of children. The first thing we showed us at the press conference was a parenting game called "Pokémon Smile". This is a game tailor-made for children who don't like brushing their teeth or are incorrect in brushing their teeth. It aims to let children learn how to brush their teeth correctly during the game and develop good habits to protect their teeth. Many classic Pokémon Elfs will appear in the game
, and will be expressed in the Q-version cute style. The little Fire Dragon and Pikachu with a bun face are less tough but easier to capture the hearts of children.
game will detect the brushing action through the mobile phone camera, and the real position of the toothbrush needs to be brushed on the screen. As long as the children complete the brushing action according to the steps, they can knock down the tooth decay germs and collect all kinds of Pokémons that appear after being caught.
In order to help children not forget their brushing time, the game also provides an alarm clock function for this. With the light electronic music, brushing teeth is no longer a boring thing.
There are more than 100 Pokémons available for players to collect in the game. The Pokémon you catch will be included in the system's own picture book. In addition, players can also unlock various cute jewelry and different tooth brushing medal titles by brushing their teeth.
, which focuses on "parent-child interaction", is also very committed to setting parental accompaniment. First of all, the setting of the "time management" system. Because of the diverse age of groups, parents can set different brushing times according to their children's growth stages. Secondly, the diverse parent-child interaction designs brought by the group photo function can also convert the small daily worries between children and parents into laughter.
"Pokemon Smile" has been launched on Android and IOS platforms for free and has been launched in 158 countries around the world. The game does not contain an in-app purchase system and can be played immediately. It also supports 9 languages including Japanese and Chinese, striving to derivate the charm of the Pokemon brand to a new generation and continue to become a childhood memory of a generation.
The new game is replicated without any mistakes, creating a new era of Pokémon
Compared with the specialization of smile, the next two games can be said to be able to truly play all ages in the sense.
The second new game, "Pokémon Cafe Mix", turned its attention to the currently popular casual puzzle game, and used the "Stars" match-3 in this category of games as the core gameplay. I believe it will become a brand new time killer.
takes IP as the core and has become a consensus among many game companies at present. The cute anime characters and match three gameplay that conforms to the market trends, the success of the domestic game "Songsong Movement" is undoubtedly an excellent case of IP operation.
But it is obvious that GF (Game Freak)'s ambitions are not only that. Pokémon Coffee is more like a hodgepodge of casual games. Under the match-three gameplay, there are also elements such as simulation management and placement and cultivation.
In the game, whether it is a customer or a clerk, each one is a cute Pokémon. Players will play the role of the shop manager in the game and complete all customer indicators. Judging from the live broadcast content and promotional videos, the game's style is a typical Japanese cartoon style, with bright and bright colors, and the Q-soft and cute Pokémon is very likable.
Although the core gameplay revolves around match three, the operation has also been appropriately improved. All orders in the game will be completed by the player through "circle connection". Different meals will have different connection techniques and methods, and the required ingredients will be unlocked through elimination.
game also creates a series of functions by combining the unique characteristics of Pokémon, such as skill assisted design, players can eliminate the corresponding clerk's avatar and accumulate points to release skills. Different Pokémons are different, such as the Fire Dragon's Fire Spit, Pokéby's Command, and the Greedy Karbi's Beast.
If the task is completed successfully, the player will also increase the intimacy with the customer. When the intimacy reaches a certain level, Pokémon will become a capable helper for the player to come to the store to help.
As the game progresses, the coffee shop can also be expanded and grown. After the growth, the store will receive more abundant props and meals, and gain a higher reputation by making more diverse dishes, thereby attracting a brand new Pokémon to visit.
"Pokemon Cafe Mix" will be logged on to the mobile phone and Switch platforms. It is expected to be downloaded in the near future. The Switch version will be available for pre-downloading from today. The mobile platform's pre-login activities will be launched one after another. The game is basically free for free and the props are charged. The last game in the
press conference, I believe many old fans of N64 consoles must be familiar with it. The ancient work "Pokemon: Suile Shooting" is a game focusing on casual photography gameplay, which can be reset in 2020. GameLook believes that this is closely related to the current prevalence of the "casual style".
game does not require players to perform any complicated operations. In this world, players only need to pick up the camera in their hands, press the shutter, and record every bit of various Pokémons.
Although the game is still under development and improvement, with the support of modern technology, various Pokémons have made a qualitative leap from model design to action display. It is not difficult for us to see in the promotional video that even the latest Pokémon of the eighth generation is included. Games like
are actually helping Pokémon to become diverse. Although Suelepai’s gameplay is niche, it has not become niche. Instead, it is a product that caters to the voices of all parts of the world.
Conclusion
With the smooth end of the press conference, many curious players turned their attention to the announcement of the "suspense" on June 24. Game Freak's behavior of drawing big pie, players couldn't help but complain: You really are, GF.
But in this press conference, it is actually not difficult to see that with the development of the Pokémon series, Game Freak also cherishes its feathers more. In the fierce market competition environment, the creation of high-quality products is by no means the only one in IP influence, and the internal strength of practicing well to tide the world is equally important. With the release of three new games of
, it is not difficult to see that the Pokémon series is on the road to creating high-quality games, with deep attempts in multiple fields aiming to focus on higher and farther lands.
Game Look believes that Pokémon will take advantage of the game three casual games that seize players' fragmented time, practical products developed for family education, and photo extras that are more in line with modern trends. As an important press conference, it will still provide more possibilities for IP to expand its life field.
As the hottest IP in the world, Pokémon has the ability and has a better chance to try to break through the shackles of the anime and game circles. Although the skit-level games cannot cause storms, it also shows the ambition of Pokémon. What kind of surprises will be waiting for next? You may be able to get a glimpse of it in the press conference on June 24.
