Although half of the people are gone, the framework of Wanbao Game is pulled.

And let's be honest......

A team of more than 20 people is actually enough, after all, the current elf studio has no other game projects except for the daily maintenance of the handheld game "Elf Trainer".

"The name of the game needs to be changed."

It wasn't until the Elf Studio was relocated to Jiangchuan as a whole that Gu Miao, who finally revealed the identity of the big boss behind the scenes, and his ambition was undoubtedly revealed: "The Elf Trainer is too ugly, are you so talentless in naming it?" ”

"Big Husband だと思い末す!"

The former president named Xiaolin wanted to say something hard, but when he saw Gu Miao's face was a little ugly, he relented: "We can change the name, but what name should we change?" ”

Pokemon?

Pokémon?

Or maybe Pokémon? Pokemon are OK too!

Gu Miao, who thought of many different translations for a moment, thought about it and felt that it was still the translation name of the former Taiwan version of the animation, that is, [Pokémon] was the most appropriate.

Pokémon can be used as the name of the "Pokémon" race.

But using Pokémon as the "title" of the work, or the name of the game, Gu Miao always felt that it was too obscure and difficult to understand. Just by looking at the title, you don't know what the three words "Pokémon" stand for.

The title is the title!

Pokémon is the unified name of Pokémon such as Pikachu and Wonderful Frog Seed, and "Pokémon" is the "title" of this game, or this anime!

To use an analogy......

Pokémon is the equivalent of "Digimon", and Pokémon is the title of "Digimon".

The two can coexist, but only one title can be used, and it is clear that "Pokémon" is more apt and smooth than "Pokémon".

Actually, Pokemon is pretty good.

But this translation of the name, it always feels weird. In particular, the word "yokai" has a special meaning in China, and it seems inappropriate to use it as an anime title.

Pokemon are too cumbersome.

The words pets and elves were originally used on their own. But when stacked together, it feels a bit repetitive and cumbersome.

Gu Miao judged extremely subjectively.

In his case, or in Manpo, Pokémon is the only and unified name, and all other names are discarded.

"Then Pokémon."

Kobayashi, the mascot who owns 1% of the shares and the former boss of the Elf Game Studio and now the acting president of Wanbao Games, nodded and said that he could accept it.

Although he can also object......

But as a newcomer who has just joined Wanbao, is it not appropriate to give the big boss a look on his face as soon as he comes, and reject his proposal?

And there is a reason to refute it!

All the Wanbao executives sitting in this conference room, no matter who they are, think that [Pokémon] is 10,000 times better than the previous [Elf Trainer].

In the absence of any rebuttal, Gu Miao's proposal to change the name was unanimously approved.

Changing your name is just the beginning.

As an IP that Gu Miao spent a lot of money to "buy", how can just changing his name reflect how much he attaches importance to "Pokémon"? And this kind of thing is not worth a special meeting for him.

"The game is currently only handheld, right?"

"Hi Yin!"

Xiao Lin frowned and said: "We signed a one-year handheld exclusive contract with Ren Hell for a year, and in a year's time, the game can only be released on his home handheld platform. ”

Let hell?

Why don't you die after a year of monopoly?

Gu Miao said rather unhappily: "How long will the exclusivity period end?" Will it be possible to launch a port version of Pokémon on PC and mobile within this year? ”

There are three months left in the exclusivity period.

It wasn't difficult to develop the PC version, after all, Genie Studios had already considered the release of the PC version before it was acquired by Wanbao.

Not only the PC version, but also the various "console" versions have been prepared in advance.

In other words, as long as Ren Hell's exclusivity expires, Genie Studios can release the PC and console versions of the game at any time.

The difficulty lies in the mobile version.

This is an area they hadn't considered before, and they don't have transplant experience. In addition, the elf studio moved to Jiangchuan and lost half of its employees, and there was an obvious shortage of manpower.

"Then go hire!"

Gu Miao waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "We are short of talents in Huaguo, but there is no shortage of talents for mobile games!" You don't have to worry about that. ”

Huaguo Animation? Weak chicken!

Huaguo stand-alone? Weak chicken!

Huaguo mobile game? Weak...... What about weak Nima? This aspect is directly ahead of the world! If you don't believe it, you can take a look at who is the number one country in mobile games!

If what Xiaolin lacks is the talent to engage in stand-alone machines, then Gu Miao is really difficult to solve, after all, what kind of domestic stand-alone machine looks like, I believe I understand it.

You say mobile games?

Then Gu Miao won't be sleepy!

"We should increase investment in games and strive for a new generation every year! Make sure that Pokémon attracts more players and cultivates more Pokémon-loving fans. ”

Gu Miao groaned: "In the comics, the cartoonist who cooperated with him before can continue to cooperate with him to ensure that the progress of the comics can keep up with the speed of game updates and production." ”

As for animation......

Is there anything to worry about? Wanbao is originally an animation company, and it may not work to do anything else, but there is absolutely no problem with animation.

The only problem is.

At present, "Pokémon", whether it is a game or a manga, has actually just been born, and the plot line is not long enough.

To put it bluntly, there's nothing to shoot!

Although the well-known Pokémon such as Pikachu, Wonderful Frog Seed, and Little Fire Dragon have appeared, the plot around the line of "Elf Trainer", that is, the protagonist, is not rich enough.

What can animation do now?

It's better to wait for the game to ferment for a while, the comics to be updated for a while, and the plot to be richer, and then it's not too late to announce the "animation".

"That's right......"

Gu Miao seemed to think of something, turned his head to President Kobayashi and asked, "Your elf studio, have you ever made a Galgame game before?" ”

"Yes...... Some. ”

Xiao Lin was puzzled and said, "What's the matter, president?" Any questions? ”

Who hasn't touched Galgame in the neon game industry? The difference is only whether it is done well or not.

"Experienced? That's good! ”

Gu Miao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "In the future, you can put more effort into this area, don't expect to make much money, and make money by making an IP that can adapt animation." ”

"If it's convenient......"

"In the future, can you use me as the protagonist to launch a Galgame game with multiple heroines and multiple endings? Don't be ashamed, only talk about pure love! ”

The entire conference room fell silent in an instant.

Seeing everyone looking at him with strange expressions, Gu Miao was confused and said, "What do you think I'm doing?" I can't afford to sponsor it, but can't I do advertising plants? ”

"Can ......"

Ma Kui raised his hand and said: "Then I will also appear, be the male protagonist's yellow-haired friend, dig his corner, who is in favor and who is against?" ”
