Chapter Ninety-Eight: "Pokemon" is popular in Japan

"Inform me and contact Nippon TV, you can broadcast "Pokemon" and "Hulu Brothers"!" Zhao Ye instructed Liu Yinyin.

It's May 25th, and it takes time for cartoons to become popular.

At present, "Hulu Brothers" has been produced, with a total of only 13 episodes.

"Pokemon" has produced 36 episodes, and the production speed of Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio is now almost one episode a week.

Due to the large number of copies of the Pokemon anime, Nippon TV initially planned to broadcast one episode a day to increase ratings, and then switched to a weekly drama.

……

That night, after getting Zhao Ye's permission, major Japanese TV stations decided to broadcast "Pokemon" and "Hulu Brothers" the next day.

Everyone is rushing to the premiere, and the ratings of the premiere are of course a little higher.

Nippon TV's prime-time anime is broadcast during prime time (roughly 19:00~22:00 in the evening).

At 7 o'clock in the evening, more than a dozen TV stations in Japan are broadcasting "Pokemon", and several TV stations are also broadcasting "Hulu Brothers".

Pokemon is well-made, with beautiful graphics and an excellent story, with a Japanese animation style but a Chinese ink style. Pokémon swept the audience, and the heads of the animation departments of major TV stations liked it and agreed that this cartoon might be popular in Japan!

Therefore, most TV stations choose to premiere "Pokemon", and the TV stations that choose to premiere "Hulu Brothers" are thinking of differentiated competition, you all choose "Pokemon", the competition is too fierce, I choose "Hulu Brothers", maybe this paper-cut animation style will be liked by someone, so as to increase the ratings!

……

……

"Mom, I want to watch cartoons!"

10-year-old Asuka Yamamoto finished eating the evening bowl, snatched the TV remote control from his mother's hand, and then skillfully adjusted the channel. Every night at 7 o'clock, he would wait in front of the TV to watch cartoons.

Soon it was time to play the cartoon, but at this time, it was not the cartoon he had watched before, but a new cartoon.

"Wow~"

"There are so many little monsters, so cute!"

"Pikachu~~"

When the opening song is played, some pictures keep flashing, this exquisite painting style, this extremely high degree of cuteness, directly makes the little Yamamoto Asuka excited.

Soon, the opening song ends and the story officially begins.

Like Asuka Yamamoto, the 10-year-old Ash lives in Kyushu Town and lives with his mother. In this world, anyone who turns ten years old can become a Pokémon Trainer and receive a Pokémon from Pokémon Scientist Dr. Ohki. In order to become a first-class Pokémon Master, Ash must embark on a journey of cultivation and be tested. Unexpectedly, on the day of departure, Ash missed the time due to lazy sleep, and was one step later than the others. I finally got Pikachu from the doctor that no one wanted, but Pikachu was difficult to take care of and very stubborn.

Asuka Yamamoto's eyes stared at the TV without blinking, and he couldn't help but fantasize about how nice it would be if he became a Pokémon trainer himself, in that case, he could receive a Pokémon from Dr. Oki like Ash~

Before you know it, the first episode is over.

Seeing that in the war with the Sparrow, Ash finally established a precious friendship with Pikachu and repelled the Sparrow, Asuka Yamamoto was very happy, but Pikachu was seriously injured......

Woo woo, Asuka Yamamoto was very worried in his heart, but the first episode of the cartoon was over, and this break made Asuka Yamamoto worry a lot, hoping that Pikachu could recover soon.

Next, Asuka Yamamoto didn't even bother to watch other anime, always thinking about Pikachu's safety, and from time to time he would fantasize about becoming a Pokémon trainer as well......

The next morning, Asuka Yamamoto came to school, he excitedly introduced the "Pokemon" cartoon to his classmates, but I didn't expect many students to watch this cartoon, and suddenly, everyone had a common topic, and chatted together with great interest.

The person who hadn't seen "Pokemon" next to him asked suspiciously: "Is "Pokemon" really that good?" ”

Asuka Yamamoto nodded heavily, and said loudly with a serious expression, "Of course it's beautiful!" It's just super pretty! It's better than "Astro Boy"! ”

"Mmmmmm, I think Pokemon is also better than Astro Boy, Pikachu is super cute, and he's very brave, even in the face of a powerful Flamingo, it's not afraid!" Another student who had watched Pokemon immediately chimed in.

After speaking, Asuka Yamamoto chatted with his friends about the plot of the first episode, and even performed it vividly.

Asuka Yamamoto shouted, "Pikachu, 100,000 volts!"

The little friend echoed the speech: "Pickup, Qiu!! ”

……

Needless to say, "Pokemon" quickly spread among friends.

When it aired the next day, the number of people watching "Pokemon" in front of the TV suddenly skyrocketed.

On the third day, the villain Team Rocket appeared, and as soon as the opening remarks of the Rocket pair came out, it immediately attracted the attention of Asuka Yamamoto and others.

When I went to school the next day, my classmates started talking about Team Rocket.

"Do you remember Team Rocket's opening words?"

"I remember, I remember!" Asuka Yamamoto shouted loudly, "Since you asked so sincerely, we will tell you with great compassion." In order to prevent the destruction of the world, in order to protect the peace of the world, and to carry out love and true evil, the cute and charming villain: Musashi, Kojiro. We are Team Rocket shuttling through the galaxy, white holes, white tomorrow is waiting for us! ”

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding friends couldn't help but cast adoring glances, which made Xiao Yamamoto Asuka happy all day.

May 31, this is the sixth day of the broadcast of "Pokemon".

"Pokemon" has become popular all over Japan, children are watching this cartoon, and they are talking about it when they go to school, who doesn't know this cartoon, then it's out, and they can't even play with other friends.

At this moment, many retailers working with Borderless Group are simply unable to sleep with excitement.

There is a game called "Pokemon" in the game cartridge that comes with the "Poor Odd 1 Home Game Console!!

"I feel that the "Qiqi 1 Home Game Console" is going to be popular, and all departments pay attention to the promotion of this game console. "Pokemon" has taken Japan by storm in just 6 days, and the game of the same name is sure to be a big hit! ”

Yoshida Renzo, a marketing executive at Yamada Electric, Japan's largest seller of electrical appliances, hurriedly reminded his subordinates to pay attention to the release of the "Qiqi 1 Home Game Console".

"Perhaps, the opponent who can challenge Nintendo is finally here!" Yoshida muttered to himself.
