Chapter 232 A Cute and Charming Villain! (Please Subscribe)

Speaking of unpopular Pokémon...

In fact, Gu Miao didn't have much memory. She only remembered that there were a few Pokémon. Their popularity and presence were very low, and almost no one knew them.

What?

You say this is impossible? Every Pokémon is an old acquaintance that players are familiar with and can name. Is it possible that they don’t recognize it?

hehe!

In the early days, when there were only one or two hundred Pokémon, you might actually know them all. After all, the number was not particularly large!

But in the later period, when the number doubled and approached thousands of Pokémon, except for a few "fanatic" fans who could fully understand them, no one else could do this.

no way!

There are really too many.

There are hundreds of Pokémon, and just remembering their looks is already a very difficult task, not to mention that some Pokémon names are difficult to pronounce.

And, more importantly...

Some of the unpopular Pokémon may not have been seen by many players for "many, many years."

The unpopularity is not without reason.

In Gu Miao's impression, the number of unpopular Pokémon is not particularly large, but it is not small either. Among them, the "bug-type" Pokémon is definitely the most unpopular one.

Well……

The reasons for the unpopularity of the insect system are complex.

But in the final analysis, the government did not pay enough attention to it. The Vulcan Moth did become popular for a while, but that could not reverse the situation of "weak insect system".

There are no "top" level Pokémon that can be used, and they lack combat intensity. In addition, there are not many attributes that the insect type can control, so the decline is reasonable.

Of course, this also has something to do with animation.

Although the "Pokémon" animation series has "original" elements, it is generally derived from the game itself, that is, the animation is adapted based on the game content.

The insect type is like that in the game, and it's very difficult to stand up in the animation.

Oh yes!

In addition to the insect type, water-type fish are actually quite unpopular, such as the catfish king, giant-winged flying fish, thousand-needle fish, neon fish, etc.

all in all.

Among the hundreds of Pokémon, there are only a handful of Pokémon like Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle that make it out of the circle.

Most Pokémon are actually not very famous. The not-so-famous term here refers to “outside the circle” fame.

This can be considered a compromise!

Gu Miao can understand. After all, there are so many Pokémon in the original game. You can't expect every Pokémon to become a big star and be sought after all over the world, right?

There has to be a priority.

The so-called primary and secondary actually refers to the focus of operations. That is to say, among the many Pokémon, one or two representatives with cute images and special abilities are selected and focused on shaping and promoting them.

Hou Bin thought so too.

In the 1997 original version of the "Pokémon" TV animation, which was also called the "Unprinted Chapter" because there was no subtitle, the animation production team followed the game settings and selected four Pokémon as the "protagonists."

Which four Pokémon?

The answer is the original trio of Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charmander, plus a slightly problematic yellow-skinned electric mouse, which was later called the "Pikachu" by thousands of fans.

That's right!

These four Pokémon were the first Pokémon to establish their animation status and image in the original Unprinted Chapter "Pokémon".

Among them, Pikachu has a special status.

Needless to say, the special features of the yellow-skinned electric mouse go without saying. After all, this guy is the skin god who partners with the male protagonist Xiaozhi and is even known as the [true second protagonist]!

What?

The skin god is so obsessed with it, is he just an invisible second protagonist? So who is the leading protagonist of animation?

"Since you asked sincerely, I will tell you mercifully!"

"To prevent the world from being destroyed, to maintain world peace, to implement love and true evil, a cute and charming villain..."

"Meow~ That's it!"

The first protagonist of the animation, that must be Funny... Oh no, it's the Rockets trio!

Who is Xiaozhi?

Feel sorry! I'm so unfamiliar, stop trying!

"Hahaha!"

Speaking of Team Rocket, both Hou Bin and Gu Miao couldn't help but burst out laughing. It was obvious that they really liked this villain group.

But this is normal.

Who would say no to Musashi and Kojiro, who love to talk and bring a talking cat with them?

certainly!

In the Wanbao version of the "Pokémon" animation, these two people must not be called by their original names. Coming up with a localized name is not a difficult task for the animation production team.

But Meow Meow, Xiaozhi can keep it.

Originally Xiaozhi also had to change his name...

But Gu Miao felt that the name Xiaozhi entrusted a lot of things. It was no longer a simple name. It might also represent a beautiful memory of "childhood".

So it was kept.

In fact, it doesn’t matter. Names like Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia are originally versions translated by the mainland translation team after being “introduced” to China.

Speaking of which, the name was very local from the beginning, so there was no need to worry about it.

But the place names are different...

The 97 Muji "Pokémon" animation mainly tells the story of Xiaozhi, a novice Pokémon trainer, and his partner Pikachu, traveling in the Kanto region, Orange Islands, and Johto region and challenging powerful enemies from all walks of life.

Said it before.

Since Elf Studio was merged into Wanbao Games and collectively moved to the Jiangchuan headquarters, the place names in the "Pokémon" game have become the Jiangchuan area.

For this reason, Gu Miao was collectively complained by players, saying that he used his money-making ability to expedite an "ID card" for Xiaozhi.

Okay, complaints are complaints.

Just changing the place name and making some localization modifications will not affect the game experience. What's more, the only ones who know about this are the old players.

After Elf Studio joined Wanbao Games and launched the PC and mobile versions of "Pokémon", new players didn't even know about it.

So, the impact is not very big.

The Kanto area was renamed the Jiangchuan area, and the Johto area naturally had to follow the trend of localization and be changed to the Zhonghai area.

So Xiaozhi’s travel route…

In fact, he started from a town called "Wanbao" in Jiangchuan and went to various places in Jiangchuan to challenge gyms. After obtaining the badge, he rushed to the Orange Islands and then to Zhonghai.

"good!"

Gu Miao clapped her hands and said happily: "The Jiangchuan boy swept the China Sea Alliance. I really like this plot."

"As a Zhonghai person, I feel offended..."

Hou Bin said with resentment: "By the way, there is already a Zhonghai area now. Are there other areas in the future?"

"Yes, I have!"

Gu Miao took out her mobile phone, opened the map software that came with it, and said, "Look, after the incident in the Zhonghai region is over, Xiaozhi can go to the next region, which is the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions to travel challenges."

Traveling around the country, right?

Looking at this map, Hou Bin was stunned instantly.
