Video Game Tycoon in Tokyo Chapter 164: A three-star rating

Slightly unexpectedly, Pokémon did not cause much of a stir.

Of course, the sales were still good.

With a base of millions of users on the Ga Boy, there were over two hundred thousand units sold in the first week.

Interested players who bought it on the release day didn't have to wait in line for too long; they quickly got the Pokémon ga they wanted.

But there seed to be more children who weren't interested.

Looking at the first-week sales figures, Takayuki frowned in the office, lost in thought.

At the sa ti, the screen on his computer on the desk was paused on the Male Ga Network. Yuichi Murakami, who had already obtained the Pokémon ga in advance, had posted his review of Pokémon.

"Pokémon: A very special ga, but it doesn't seem particularly fun."

"Recomnded star rating: three stars."

"First of all, I am a player, and secondly, I am a ga reviewer. I have my mission, which is to give the most impartial evaluation of all the gas I review, without any ulterior motives."

"In the previous multiple early experiences with gas developed by GaStar Electronic Entertainnt, I was very excited. However, this ti I wasn't as excited as I imagined."

"The main elents of Pokémon are collecting and challenging, which are different from the heroes who fight against evil overlords or warriors who confront evil. This ga will make you feel a relaxed atmosphere."

"In this world, you can see many strange creatures, all of which can be captured and then beco your partners. Then use these partners to fight opponents and win. This is the special gaplay I ntioned, which is different from before."

"But I have to say that I actually prefer more stimulating gas. In contrast, this ga feels a bit bland to ."

"So I only give this ga three stars. Three stars is my passing grade, which ans that this ga is complete enough and the content is rich enough, but it's difficult to attract . But I believe that every ga will have different people who like it, so if you are a player with purchasing power, you can try this ga. If not, I think you can wait and see, don't rush."

This was the rough evaluation given by Yuichi Murakami.

This evaluation was actually quite fair.

In the previous life's first-generation Pokémon gas, there were actually many bugs, combined with the fact that the developnt team for the first generation was sowhat inadequate, the developnt was rushed, and the graphics were sowhat poor, resulting in a low initial evaluation of the ga, similar to Yuichi Murakami's evaluation, which could only be said to be passing.

But what Takayuki did this ti was to do his best to make it perfect. The ga was more complete overall, with almost no major bugs, and the graphics were much better than in the previous first-generation Pokémon.

But it didn't bring the expected explosion.

This left Takayuki scratching his head a little.

It seems that so electronic gas really need so luck factor added, and it's not necessarily the case that just replicating the previous ga from the past life will completely ignite.

And so ga companies and console manufacturers who were in a wait-and-see attitude, after seeing this result, imdiately knew what to do.

It seems that this ga should only be considered as an attempt by GaStar Electronic Entertainnt, but this attempt did not achieve very good results.

Originally, several ga companies that had started planning to make similar gas also imdiately gave up and turned to make gas that were eye-catching enough according to the reviews on the Male Ga Network.

"President, this ti it may be our fault. If you want to bla anyone, just bla us."

The developnt of Pokémon this ti was carried out by Takayuki pulling experienced ga developers from the second, third, and fourth ga developnt teams, with more than fifty people in total. Then he injected fresh blood into these three ga developnt teams to continue stable ga developnt.

But with more than fifty experienced ga developers, the first ga did not bring the expected explosion in sales. They also felt that their responsibility was not small.

Takayuki could afford his employees generously for such a long ti, giving them enough compensation, allowing them to have a comfortable and affluent life, but the ga they made did not et the expected sales figures, which made them feel very guilty.

So the leader of this developnt team personally ca to Takayuki's office to express his apologies for making a bad ga.

"No, this is not your fault. You have already done a good job. In fact, this has been planned in my plan for a long ti."

The team leader was slightly stunned, "In your plan, President?"

"Yes, this is just a short-term poor sales performance. Give this ga so ti, ti will prove the true shining point of this ga. Next, you should continue to develop new Pokémon gas according to the schedule I specified, don't make any changes, understand?"

Takayuki's words may not truly reassure the team leader, but at least they could ease his guilty feelings.

Takayuki urged him to go back to work. After the ga was completed, if there were no serious bugs that needed fixing, they should not focus on the ga's sales figures but continue to develop new Pokémon gas according to his instructions.

After the team leader left, Takayuki fell into thought again.

Perhaps Pokémon really doesn't fit well in this world.

But this is just the first week of sales; it doesn't actually prove anything.

Back then, Dragon Quest wasn't popular when it was first released.

In the end, it was the manga's collaboration that made Dragon Quest popular.

At first, Takayuki wanted to replicate the success of Dragon Quest and increase its popularity by broadcasting the Pokémon ani at the sa ti.

But apparently, the effect wasn't particularly good.

Right, now he could go and ask how the Pokémon ratings were on Tokyo TV.

The television ratings could also be used as a reference to so extent.

Also, try to increase the investnt in advertising for about a month and see the specific situation.

If it still doesn't work, then it can roughly prove that Pokémon is sowhat unsuitable in this world.

Perhaps it's because he let the developnt of electronic gas progress too quickly, and players aren't easy to settle down to play this kind of slower-paced nurturing companion ga, or perhaps there are other reasons.

But as long as the sales of this generation of gas can exceed four hundred thousand, it can achieve a balance of inco and expenditure, and Takayuki will continue this series.

If the expected sales volu cannot be achieved, Takayuki will also insist on letting the developnt team continue to produce the third and fourth generations. Even if it really fails, they should try harder first to see if it's really not suitable or if there are other reasons.
