Pokémon's excellent kernel


Feelings are the common emotion of many Pokémon players, and I am also one of them. When I opened Pokémon Masters, familiar music, classic beginnings, and familiar characters appeared to excite me.

Whether you have played the game or not, in the era when you can see Pokémon animation on TV, Xiaozhi and Pikachu, Xiaogang and Big Rock Snake, Xiaoxia and Jewel Starfish, this classic trio is a lot of players Childhood memories.



Pokémon Masters chose classic characters to play with iconic Elf partners, and traveled for the goal of Elf League Masters. When you open the game and fight alongside Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia, there is always a joy of being reunited with old people, as if you are back The second-year boy, travel, friendship and dreams, are the same memories around Pokémon.



If you are a veteran of the Pokémon series, you can find the pavilion masters of the past elven pavilions in Pokémon Masters, and see the familiar moves in the book. In the plot, players can fight the league champion again, defeat the dark forces hidden behind, or the familiar formula, or the same routine, whether it is the anime party or the fighting faction, will be full of memories.



Pokémon Masters continues the 3D modeling similar to "Let's Go Pikachu". Although the picture is not exquisite, it is also the standard of a series of games. Compared with the previous Pokémon, it is higher definition, and the cartoon-like screen rendering also adds color to the game. less. And each sprite has been remodeled, and you can see the cute look of each Pokemon by clicking in the illustrated book.


In the battle, the game also made shocking close-ups for each of Pokémon's tricks. When you shouted a lightning strike with Pikachu against the screen, it must be what you dreamed of as a kid.


As  the focus of Pokémon Masters, the 3V3 combat system is quite attractive. The settings of traditional Pokémon have not been simplified because of mobile games. The attributes are grammatically, six-dimensional, and upgraded and evolved. Without them, it is not a real Pokémon;


Each elf has only 4 skills, and there are passive skills to choose from. The combination of different attribute skills can form a variety of teams; assistance is as important as attack. Weather teams, storm teams, and abnormal teams can be realized here. . The game's combat system has a certain degree of playability. The combination of various skills and attributes is full of strategies. The semi-real-time battle makes the battlefield change rapidly. You can set the fire second output or assist the buff.



The game does not choose traditional turn-based combat, but instead uses action points to greatly improve the timeliness of combat. Action points will be recovered in time, and the skills will consume the corresponding action points. Because the three elves on the field share the same, this also results in most of the time most skills are idle, and attribute restraint has been simplified to a single attribute Resistance was removed.


Although Pokémon Masters has made a certain degree of simplification for the combat system, the introduction of 3V3 combat mode, full story experience, partnering and combat, has opened up another path different from Pokémon Go. Players can be in it Feel the charm of Pokémon once again.

Familiar mobile game recipes


DeNA is a mature mobile game production company. Pokémon Masters, as a game with Nintendo, naturally requires traditional mobile game elements, and higher gold points are naturally an unavoidable problem.

Pokémon Masters ’ main spirit training is in Pokémon Masters. The mobile game mode is selected: the first point is that the Pokémon and partners are obtained by drawing gold cards, and the other is the material system required to cultivate the elves .

The essence of Pokémon Masters is a card-drawing game. Different cards are divided into three to five stars. Duplicate cards will be automatically upgraded to become the material for the upgrade breakthrough. Collecting a certain amount can upgrade the breakthrough. From Samsung's breakthrough to five stars, there is no doubt that many cards need to be drawn.

Compared to other Japanese mobile games, Pokémon Masters is a bit stingy when it comes to giving diamonds. Novices do n’t give away the traditional free ten consecutive draws after completing novice teaching, and only a small amount of diamonds can be obtained for customs clearance and completing tasks Compared to the consumption of 300 diamonds, players need a lot of time to invest in free games.

Since the game focuses on partners and battles,  in addition to the plot addition method, the rest of the way to get partners in Pokémon Masters  can only be obtained through the gold draw card. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the elves and the partners. You cannot follow your own ideas Go for any combination.

At the same time, the game controls the card's degree of freedom more strictly, and the skills of each card are preset. You can only unlock the existing skills, not the freedom as in the previous Pokémon. Learn. The blood-returning props in the game have become a skill of Pokémon. Not all Pokémon can use the healing medicine to restore their health.

The material system in Pokémon Masters tests the player's "Liverness" like usual mobile games.

Breaking through the Elf level requires materials, upgrading skills requires materials, cultivating levels require materials, and elf evolution requires materials. In addition, the game has no physical limitations, and the difficulty of falling and training will become a nightmare for many players. It has also become part of this game.

The sudden increase in the difficulty of the plot and the imbalance of the card strength make the game team uniform in the later stage, and the slightly chaotic scenes are often confusing. The lack of later content makes the game more time. "Not in the liver Is on the way to the liver. "

The charm and feelings of Pokémon


If there is any other big IP manufacturer in the world that can be compared with Disney, Nintendo will certainly not let it go.

As one of the most well-known IPs, Pokemon has a terrifying appeal even for simple joint collaborations.

After the dessert chain Baskin-Robbins launched the Pokémon co-branded collaboration, the turnover in one day reached 400 million yen:

In the third year after listing, Pokemon GO's global revenue in August reached an astonishing US $ 110 million

Similarly, in the movie market of this year's Fairy Wars, "Detective Pikachu" as a new IP not only successfully surpassed "Warcraft" to become the highest-grossing game adaptation movie, but also the most popular game adaptation movie:

Pokémon companies tend to make money with IP. Whether it is the cooperation between Pokémon and Tmall Elves, or various Pokémon dolls, Pokémon itself is no longer confined to games. The advent also proves the world-class appeal of IP.

Among the many games on Switch, the Pokémon series has a high-quality picture, but the optimization is still worrying, and this is also reflected in  Pokémon Masters  : Whether it is scene loading or interactive adventure, the heat of the mobile phone will be greatly Rising, the screen freezes from time to time.

Although the Pokémon Masters announced at the face-to-face meeting  is still interesting, the contrast in mobile games can only be considered as an average game, but the traditional mode plus Pokémon has become a gold weapon and attracts fans of the series idea.

In the future development, the balance between innovation and feelings is still something that Pokémon needs to consider.
