While Lu Li was preparing for the live broadcast, the discussion about Pokémon on StarNet became increasingly intense.
The video of Game Clairvoyant criticizing the "item charging model" directly brought this topic to the forefront.
Countless self-media have followed the trend and mass-produced countless similar videos.
Under such a bombardment that sounded like a demonic sound, players also discussed the "cost-effectiveness" of Pokémon.
If the news channel of the game Clairvoyance is reliable, then it will cost thousands of star coins to unlock all the contents of Pokémon, which is indeed much more expensive than other games.
But most players believe that as long as the game is fun, spending more money is not a bad idea.
Therefore, the gameplay of Pokémon has replaced cost-effectiveness and become the new core topic.
The night before the live broadcast.
In order to ruthlessly hit the target and increase traffic, Game Clairvoyant uploaded another video.
The title is "Reanalyzing the Gameplay of Pokémon".
"Hello, dear viewers, welcome to the game Clairvoyance."
The young man wearing glasses said straight to the point: "Today we will torture again... I'm sorry, let's take a look at the Pokémon in the Carp Star Card House."
In just the second sentence, the clairvoyance element of the game is already evident.
Of course, Brother Yan’s willingness to charge for “hateful” props is inseparable from his own experience.
Game Clairvoyant, the up owner, is an economics graduate with excellent academic performance. He is particularly good at business and strategy games. He can often use data calculations to give optimal solutions, and is respectfully called a "humanoid computer" by players.

Over time, Brother Yan has developed a character of being careful with money and calculating the cost-effectiveness of everything.
For him, the value of a game is limited to two to three hundred star coins.
Games like Pokémon that adopt a charging model for items will inevitably usher in the era of "expensive games".
This situation is absolutely not allowed to happen!
"Nowadays, many people on the Internet have put forward this point of view." The game's clairvoyant stretched out his hand, typed a line of words on the screen, and read word by word, "As long as Pokémon is fun, there is no problem in spending more money."
"Indeed, every product should be marked with a reasonable price, and games are no exception." Brother Yan adjusted his glasses and agreed with the point of view, "If Pokémon is fun enough, it can indeed be marked with a reasonable price." High prices.”
"So, what kind of game is Pokémon? Let's analyze it together."
The video is placed here, and a piece of BGM is inserted at the right time, leading to the next content.
"Let's first analyze Carp Star Card House's first Pokémon promotional video - "Family Bird"."
Along with the game's clairvoyant explanation, the screen came to an evergreen forest.
Female "high school student" Yao Yao appears on the grass again.
"There's nothing interesting in the previous paragraph. It's just using beautiful women to attract people's attention. It's a regular method for merchants. Let's just focus on the key points." Brother Yan, like a sage, calmly dragged the progress bar.
As the scene progressed, Yao Yao took out a red and white game box and a star card with lightning printed on it.
"Okay, let's look here." The game clairvoyant pressed the pause button and analyzed, "Judging from the promotional video and live broadcast poster, this small square box should be something similar to a game launcher, and the star card is where the stars are stored. beast......"
Brother Yan was mid-sentence and quickly changed his words: "A container to store Pokémon spirits."
"Let's continue watching."
The scene fast forwarded and turned into a confrontation between Pikachu and Pikachu.
"This picture should be said to be that Pokémon has a combat module, and players can control the Pokémon to fight with other Pokémon, including the scene where Pikachu releases lightning, which is also part of the battle."
In just a few words, Yugi's clairvoyance guessed a lot about Pokémon.
"But the audience."
Suddenly, Brother Yan came to a turning point: "We can't forget that when analyzing things, we can't just look at the performance, but we must look at the underlying logic."
"Pokémon adopts a fee-for-props model, which means that if we want to collect a Pokémon, we have to buy a star card that contains the Pokémon."
Game Clairvoyant paused and put forward his own inference: "Therefore, I think Carp Star Card House will not focus on the battle when making this game, but focus on the types of Pokémon. Lu Li will Design as many Pokémon sprites as possible to defraud players’ wallets.”
"Besides, I also heard something through the grapevine."
Brother Yan came closer to the camera and whispered: "Carp Star Card House recently acquired the virtual pet project of Xinghao Game Company, which is still in the preparation stage."
"In other words, there is a high probability that Pokémon is a reskinned work of a virtual pet."
"I also experienced virtual pets during closed beta. It is a product that allows you to raise cats in the cloud using a star card, but it is limited to petting cats and has almost no gameplay...even he It’s not really a game.”
"The Carp Star Card House is trying to attract players' interest under the guise of fantasy star beasts, packaging Pokémon into an adventure game with pets."
"But actually, it's probably a cat-and-bird game with a little bit of combat elements."
"Why should we spend thousands of star coins to have fun in this kind of game?"
At this point, the game clairvoyant gave an "I predict you" look and said: "There may be fans of Carp Star Card House who want to ask, why are you so sure that the Pokémon battle system is not good?"
"Ah."
He sneered and said: "If the battle system is really good, does he still need to put the promotional video at the point where the battle is about to start? Carp Star Card House's behavior is too cover-up, isn't it?"
After finishing a long list of content, Brother Yan rested for a moment and his tone became more soothing: "However, the game will be demonstrated on the actual machine tomorrow. Whether it is a mule or a horse, we will know tomorrow."
At this point, Game Clairvoyant waved his hand and said goodbye to the audience: "That's it for today's video. Dear viewers, we will meet you on time in the live broadcast room tomorrow to torture this 'cute pet collection game' .”
At the end of the video, the game stopped pretending to be clairvoyant and took off his clothes, revealing the true face of Carp Star Card House's black fan - "Blackfish".
After the words fell, the video played the exclusive BGM of the game Clairvoyance and entered the ending.
The content discussed in this video naturally brings the topic of Pokémon to a new peak once again.
However, the players' views are actually very consistent.
——There are still twenty hours until the actual demonstration, so let’s take a look first.
If the game doesn't work by then, it's not too late to spray again.
