"Pokemon: Zhu·Purple"
In order to commemorate the release date of the first generation of "Pokemon: Red·Green" in Japan, February 27 is designated as "Pokemon Day" by Pokemon Company every year, and news about some series of works will usually be released. The Pokémon Day in 2022 has just passed, bringing a big news - the new 9th-generation orthodox sequel "Pokémon: Zhu Zi".
Don’t get me wrong. This is not Azhu and A Zi in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". "Zhu" means "Scarlet", scarlet and red; "Purple" means "Violet", "Violet", violet. This is also the first time the "Pokemon" series has returned to the color title after "Black and White". The title of
returns to the color series, and old players should feel friendly.
also announced the ninth generation "Yu Sanjia", 3 initial Pokémon "New Leaf Meow", "Daihuo Crocodile" and "Moisturized Duck". Like most initial Pokémon, they are single attributes of grass, fire, and water, rather than compound attributes such as Frog Seed (Grass + Poison) or Wood Owl (Grass + Flying). Characteristics are also traditional luxuriant, storm and thunder. It is not known what its final evolutionary form looks like and attributes, and over time, this information should be further disclosed.
In addition, the English name of Xinye Meow "Sprigatito" may come from Sprig and Spanish Gatito (kitten); the English name of the daihuo crocodile may come from Fuego (flame) and Cocodrilo (crocodile); the "Quaxly" of the moist duck may be composed of the onomatopoeia of the English and Spanish ducks called "Quack" and "Cuac". In addition, the style of the house in the promotional film resembles Mediterranean architecture, and the spire suspected to be the Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Barcelona also appears in the promotional film. These to some extent imply that the story stage of this work may be based on the Spanish region - of course, all this is just speculation under the current intelligence, and the real answer is hidden in the near future.
3 looks cute, but will the evolutionary type become a brother fighting system again?...
The tallest building in the picture is based on the Sagrada Familia Cathedral
"Pokemon: Zhu Zi" is the first game described in the series using the "open world" in promotion. Yes, even the legend of Pokémon: Arceus under the great change is not strictly considered an open world. As expected, Pokémon: Zhu Zi will evolve again based on "Legend of Pokémon: Arceus". The official website of this work says:
"Pokemon" series moves towards an open world. "Pokemon: Zhu Zi" will enrich the story stage in the form of an open world, where players can take risks freely.
seamlessly connects vast natural scenery and town streets, as well as the Pokémon people living here.
includes the sky, the sea, the forest, and the streets. Players may see them in any corner of the world.
will maintain the classic gameplay unique to the "Pokemon" series of games that fight and capture against Pokemon, and is an open world work suitable for all ages and young.
This is another innovation in the series after "The Legend of Pokémon: Arceus". In recent years, we have experienced the continuous changes in the "Pokémon" series. There may be excellent works or pains. We cannot make too good predictions before it gradually stabilizes.
At present, the pictures released by "Pokemon: Zhu·Zi" this time are not performing well, slightly lower than the eighth-generation "Pokemon: Sword·Shield", and the protagonist model is also a bit off the previous design... Considering that it will be released in the winter of 2022 - in the "Pokemon" series, winter usually means a certain day in mid-November - the tight construction period and the quality of the current version make me a little worried.
In short, the 9th generation open world orthodox sequel "Pokemon: Zhu Zi" was officially released yesterday and will be released this winter.
The protagonist of this work looks younger. I don’t know if the plot will also change to younger ages.
derivative works

The previous part involves several game works "Pokémon: GO", "Pokémon Master", "Pokémon Colorful Fun", "Pokémon Collection", "Pokémon: Crystal Diamond·Bright Pearl", "Pokémon Legend: Arceus". Let's briefly mention it.

The spin-off animation of "Pokemon: Sword and Shield" is very high, and the original animation of "Pokemon Legend: Alzeus" is also worth looking forward to
At the end of the press conference, Utsunomiya Takato, chief operating officer of Pokemon Company, said: "Welcome to look forward to the 'Pokemon' game that will continue to evolve in the future." - "Pokemon Legend: Alzeus" looks good, and the open world of "Pokemon: Zhu Zi" seems to be a bright road.
