The three weeks were over before you knew it, in the full days of people clocking in and out of work and games.

As of the start of the Pokémon World Nova Challenge, in a whole month, the sales of "Pokémon World" in the world have exceeded 500 million, almost about 530 million, such a terrifying result is more than double the estimate made by everyone after watching the results of the first week.

530 million! What is the concept? That's about one out of every 12 people in the world who bought "World of Pokémon", and combined with the ultra-high monthly retention rate of 78%, almost one out of every 15 people is still playing.

According to statistics, although young people from 18 to 32 are still the main force of players like most games, the proportion is only 48%, not even half, and then remove 21% of players under the age of 18, that is to say, the proportion of older players over 32 years old is as high as nearly 30%.

Not only that, but the infinite potential of Pokémon World has also attracted the attention of other industries, as it has been known to traders since ancient times, where there are people, there is a sale, and when there are a certain number of people doing something, no matter how ridiculous it may seem, there will always be people who will try to make a profit from it.

"Pokémon World" is now so popular that everyone knows that hundreds of millions of people around the world play it, and there are huge business opportunities hidden behind it, even the world's top 500 giants are all sideways and greedy.

In just one month, Pokémon has affected people's lives with almost visible changes.

In reality.

Trinkets, clothing, toys and other industries have the fastest response, only half a month, all kinds of Pokémon peripheral gadgets have been spread all over the world large and small shopping malls, supermarkets, retail stores, clothing stores, jewelry stores and so on.

In addition, new industries related to the game have been born in the physical industry.

For example, it is acceptable to hire mercenaries who temporarily serve as bodyguards and thugs; For example, an institution that specializes in providing players with Pokémon cultivation plans; For example, a sparring partner who specializes in playing against other players; For example, adventurers who go around looking for powerful, rare Pokémon and then sell news of them......

These new industries that came into being due to the popularity of games are developing rapidly, and they are either fighting on their own or forming organizations, and they are becoming more and more mature in the fierce competition.

The Pokémon World Rising Stars Challenge began, and the final number of registered participants was locked at 180 million, which is enough to beat the record of the highest number of participants in the game, but compared to the more than 400 million daily active people, it is obviously nothing.

The reason why the participating players are not enough to live every day, the main reason is the difficulty of receiving wild Pokémon, many office workers can play the game itself is not much, it is not easy to accept 5 Pokémon a month, although it is easy to be a bug catcher boy just for the sake of participating in the competition, but many players are still unwilling to put it up like this.

Due to the large number of participants, there are five rounds of elimination in the first four days of the game, which means that only one in thirty-two players can advance every day, after four days of playing, the remaining players will be less than 200, on the fifth day, four more rounds of elimination, to determine the final top 16, on the sixth day, through two rounds of live broadcast to determine the final top 4, on the seventh day, the champion is born.

】

Since all Pokémon will return to their pre-match state after each round, players don't need to worry about injuries affecting subsequent matches despite the high intensity of the match.

After the start of the game, the number of battles on the first day was the largest, but the intensity was quite low, and the uneven strength of the participating players led to nearly ninety percent of the games on the first day being either one-sided crushing or equal rookies pecking each other.

From the second day, the intensity of the competition was significantly raised to a notch, and the battle became more and more fierce day by day.

By the end of the fourth day of the competition, the top 16 were finally decided.

That night, someone announced the all-attribute win rate ranking, which randomly selected 50,000 battles as a sample, in the calculation, Pokémon with dual attributes will be based on their main attributes, for example, Marilu belongs to both water and goblins, but because its main attribute is water, so Marilu's battles will only be counted in the water attribute win rate.

Superpowers led the field with 82% overall. their moves

is unpredictable, and the number of appearances of superpower Pokémon is not much, players don't know much about superpower Pokémon, and there is little experience in fighting against them, which makes the win rate of superpowers so terrifying.

Next in second place is the Ghost, with a 79% win rate, which is no less terrifying.

The first ones in the queue are all expected by the players, and it is basically normal to look down all the way, but when they see the last place, everyone finally can't hold back.

I saw that the attribute at the bottom of the ranking was none other than the fire system with the highest pre-game possession rate, and its win rate was only a pitiful 44%.

It's funny, but it's not surprising either, after all, after three weeks of preparation, almost everyone has come up with their own set of fire fighting strategies, and in this kind of strong wind, those players who formed a pure fire team were miserable, and basically didn't survive the first day.

The players who made it to the top 16 were all strong, and each of them had their own unique style.

Tyson Seti: A player in the United States, the trump card is an Abi Lang who has mastered the flame fist and even high-speed movement, and the second main force is a wrestling hawkman who is also not weak. Most of his matches consisted of Abby Lang's string of sixes penetrating his opponents, and when he encountered his opponents in the flying system, he was settled by the Wrestling Hawkman.

The power of the bear: The trump card of the Russian player is a very strong circle bear.

Sister's Wonderful: A Neon Country player, the trump card is an extremely difficult snow demon girl.

VV's little fan girl: Kimchi Country player, ace fairy Yin Bu.

……

Come to boxing: Huaxia player, ace Taiji Panda.

Birdwatcher Sanqi: Chinese player, ace natural bird.

Curve to save the country: Chinese player, ace wind speed dog.

Sixteen people without exception are all taking the path of the extreme flow, although the balanced flow has achieved fruitful results in the first half, but once they encounter this kind of extreme flow player, in the face of absolute individual strength, all tactics and attribute restraint have become a joke, this wave, this wave is a big victory.

The follow-up round of 16 until the final game is extremely exciting, it seems that the game is 6v6, in fact, the key to each game is the battle between the two aces, this battle is certain, and the outcome is also determined.

The strength of the top 16 players amazed the other players who watched the live broadcast, in addition to the Pokémon itself surpassing them, the trainer's high-level command game and their unique understanding of the moves were an eye-opener for everyone.

Use the recoil force released by the water gun to dodge the ground, use the downwind move to cause headwind obstruction to the enemy's move to greatly reduce the power of the enemy's move, and use high-speed movement, lightning flash and other moves to connect with other moves to achieve the effect of multiplying the lethality......

After two days of extremely fierce confrontation, the championship of the first Pokémon World Rising Star Challenge was still won by the players of the host Huaxia, the birdwatcher Sanqi faced the beauty of his sister in the finals, the natural bird and the snow demon girl fought evenly, and the battle of superpowers against ghosts made other players call the gods to fight, and finally the two Pokémon with similar strength fell to the ground almost at the same time under the command of the trainer who was also equal. And the second Pokémon Proud Bone Swallow, which was sent by Birdwatcher Sanqi for the first time, relied on the great energy contained in its small body to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop, and established the championship in one fell swoop.

Domineering, tenacious, and arrogant, players who have never seen the original animation and have never seen the strength of the "bug swallow" were instantly fans of this handsome little bird, and the proud bone swallow became one of the most popular Pokémon in the world after this battle, and the bird watcher Sanqi was also worshiped by players as the bird god, the bird king, and the flying king Sanqi because of his two powerful bird Pokémon, and countless players with birds and no birds wanted to apprentice.
