It’s 140 at 151-11, so it seems like it’s garnered as close as 22 more.

I’m curious about the breakdown of untrapped.

>>3

I killed Freezer.

>>21

People who don’t even have the thought of trying again without writing a report often make it this far.

Before the blue version was released, fully complete Pokémon ROMs sold for high prices, so I was catching Pokémon every day, selling the ROMs, buying new ones, completing them again, and repeating the cycle.

You really did your best, manager.

It’s in three days, you know?

It is impossible to have a total of 26 without having 11 non-appearances, 4 communication evolutions, 2 Eevee evolutions, 6 unselected starter Pokémon, 2 fossils, and 1 Hitmonlee.

>>16

Speak more like Ryotsu.

Games from this era have small screens, so it must have been hard to see, but you did well, boss…

The department head is seriously amazing…

Didn’t you already sell a comp set and push it onto the department head, which turned out to be a fake?

Compared to charging 100,000 yen for fixing squeaky floorboards just by pulling up the tatami and hammering in nails, or 10,000 yen just for creating a social media account, it’s significantly more reasonable.

Did you not think something was strange when you were making the game, San-Shoku Punch?

That’s quite a shady business practice; some versions are unavailable to obtain.

It’s RMT (real money trade).

There are four Pokémon that can evolve with a moon stone.

I feel like the ways to obtain the moonstone were limited and it was tough.

I didn’t originally consider gamers who are focused on completing achievements as customers, or rather, I didn’t think it would sell this well…

Like a Pokédex completion RTA…

The breakdown of the 11 that do not appear in green is

Arbok, Ekans, Oddish, Gloom, Rafflesia

Mankey, Okorizaru, Gardy, Windy, Eleboo, Strike.

Mew may not be included.

It’s terrible that you need to complete three laps with Eevee if you take it seriously.

I will pull out the communication cable and increase it.

>>29

Even though they made the effort to at least include Vuis and Ebiswa in the Pokédex.

Why did you make Golem a mythical Pokémon?

>>38

Mr. Woofer said he wants to use an Onix…

>>39

The three great families don’t need to encourage trading that much, so they are reasonable.

It seems they didn’t expect that there would be someone who would buy two cassettes themselves, assuming interactions with friends.

The manager had become so skilled at a game similar to Tenchu that even Ryo-san sought his advice…

I believe that thanks to Pokémon, the importance of communication cables and communication on handheld devices has increased.

Even if there are 2 versions or 3 versions, ordinary people usually only buy one version, but there are about 15% of people with a strong desire to complete their collection who end up buying both.

It’s evil to think that selling a different version is more profitable, right?

I sold an Invader ROM with a Pokémon label to the manager for whatever price he asked.

When I looked now

I thought that kind of spending was not good for my wife.

>>37

I think that if I say that, people might not look at me favorably because of my original antique hobby.

I decided to take care of the Pokémon with data of 140 caught while my grandchild went on a school camp.

As a result of toggling the power switch repeatedly because the power was on and I didn’t really understand, the Pokémon data got deleted.

The section chief tried to pay Ryotsu to gather Pokémon again, but Ryotsu refused.

(It’s more interesting for the manager to play games than to receive 50,000.)

The department head struggled on their own but couldn’t make it in time…

I feel like the safari’s luck-based game discreetly… or rather, significantly takes away a lot of time.

First, I can’t meet Lucky.

Gyarados also doesn’t come out very often.

In the end, a safari is when you can capture it, which is when the ball hits.

I’m glad I threw the ball at the moment we met.

One of the elements that I truly feel relieved to see gone from Pokémon is the Safari Zone.

>>46

It’s good that now the safabo selection has disappeared.

At that time, this was the only way to get Safarobokking and Fukamaru…

>>46

I was really happy that it was closed with gold and silver.

I really love giving a discount of just 200 yen.

Basically, it’s surprising how many people get deeply immersed in popular games beyond what the creators expected.

I don’t really dislike or struggle with electronic games that much, you know, manager.

I was playing Shogi on an electronic notebook and also playing a ninja game on what seemed to be a PS3.

It’s interesting when the department head gets hooked on something.

Once you get hooked, honestly, it’s more dangerous than Ryotsu, isn’t it, boss?

>>55

Getting involved in embezzlement is not good!

It was a relief that Lucky also appeared in the Hanada Cave.

So in FRLG, it only appears in the Safari Zone.

I had never caught a Pokémon because I didn’t understand how to use the safari park at all.

The blue version seems to be designed with the assumption that many players hold the red version due to its popularity.

The only ones that come out in green but not in blue are the Rockruff line and Elekid.

Since I can’t get Strike or Kairos, I feel like blue is not easy to collect.

Did you also catch a Miniryu, Boss?

Did you catch it, or did you really catch it?

I should have asked the children for information and reached out for communication.

In the story, I accidentally defeated Thunder and got my heart broken; it was just an illustrated image.

Are you going to conquer it all without the concept of redoing save and load?

It feels like 100,000 yen is cheap for the original Pokémon without any modifications, considering there are 150 species.

>>66

At that time, assuming the hourly wage was about 750 yen, if we consider three consecutive days at around 16 hours a day, that amounts to 48 hours.

36,000 yen for 750×48.

Including the software cost, it’s about 40,000, and even considering the effort to catch the remaining Pokémon as 10,000, the cost would be around 50,000.

The appropriate price might be around 80,000 yen including various expenses.

I mean, it’s pretty amazing that Ryo-san casually agreed to trade Mew when asked by a child at the beginning (even though it’s for a fee).

Version difference 11, evolution 4 did not choose Eevee evolution 2, did not choose the three starters 6, the ones that cannot be done solo.

Out of the 5 Mewtwo and 4 Safari rare 3 Pokémon, I think it’s 118 for 2 of them.

It takes about five and a half hours even for someone who has completed a Red and Green 2 soft simultaneous operation encyclopedia RTA.

>>70

That’s true.

Since a picture book is just an extra feature, if it were to disappear, it would be a shock, but I think it’s okay.

It’s painful when a travel companion disappears.

First of all, the protagonist’s name is different…

The data I raised has been erased, the grandchild otter…

This is more shocking than the encyclopedia.

Gallade… Tauros…

There were times I had to prepare a replacement because the Tamagotchi I was looking after died.

>>76

I’m glad I was able to match ages with a strange trick without getting found out.

>>86

I wonder if there were staff who were knowledgeable about Tamagotchi but not about Pokémon.

If you’re giving someone a nickname, that’s already a no-go, right?

The RTA of completing the encyclopedia with simultaneous operation of two software programs was interesting…

At that time, there wasn’t even a way to deal non-lethal damage, so it was tough to weaken and then catch later on.

I wanted them to do it for the next generation as well, because hitting the ball with the right technique means capture is guaranteed.

It’s amazing that version marketing is still allowed after 20 years.

>>80

Even if you purchase the same DLC, the differences due to version variations are applied, making things worse.

>>80

Well, the means of exchange are also being expanded.

In the past, it started with looking for someone who had a communication cable, but now you can find exchange partners from all over the world.

In the past, communication cables themselves were valuable items.

Just because I’ve gathered things again doesn’t mean I can get them back, but it’s better than doing nothing and just apologizing.

Well, the main point is that the person just wants to gather everything again to cover up their own mistake.

From the grandchild’s perspective, if you’re pretending to be an exemplary grandfather, wouldn’t you want to honestly acknowledge your mistakes and issue an apology?

It’s a game with the concept of aiming for completion through exchanging, so what’s the point of getting angry about version sales tactics?

When dubbing techniques spread, it didn’t mean that complete ROMs lost their value; using Pro-Act in Gold and Silver, I created and sold shiny complete ROMs, and even as an elementary school student, it turned into quite a bit of money.

Well, Shueisha itself is the company that rejected the opportunity for a collaboration with Pokémon.

In this episode, I clearly remember the manager discussing how they can’t catch a Ditto and wondering what to do!

I was even impressed that they used such a small trick as material for a manga.

It seems that the reason we can see where Pokémon were caught in Ruby and Sapphire is also greatly influenced by the increase in bug-produced and modified Pokémon…

Is Jump going to do corporate tie-ups from a stance perspective?

Kochikame did Tamagotchi-related jokes for about two years.

Looking back now, it feels like a stretched-out lack of ideas.

>>95

Doesn’t that mean it was that much of a boom?

>>99

The Tamagotchi boom lasted only about six months.

Don’t most people get bored of such a boring game within a week?

My memories of the first generation are pretty vague, but wasn’t it enough for a Ditto to either attack or put to sleep on the first turn?

You can only obtain one of them per save data, but since there are two types in different versions, trading is essential for completing the Pokédex.

But if you exchange it, it won’t remain in your possession, so in the end, you can’t complete it.

I wonder what kind of philosophy is behind the design.

I think it would encourage trading more if we say something like, “Since I have two, I’ll give you one!”

It’s been easing up recently, though.

Was blue easy to collect?

>>100

I have the impression that it’s difficult to collect because I have to find someone who has both green and red and ask them to trade.

The department head keeps mumbling “Nyoromo, Nyorozon, Nyorobon” while peering through the gap in the shrink wrap of the strategy guide.

Do I really have to remember it so desperately, Nyoro-mo, Nyorozo, Nyoro-bon?

Just buy a strategy guide or something!

I never thought a sales method that makes people buy two copies would become so popular and result in so many followers.

There is an aspect where blue requires both red and green to be complete.

You can exchange with ghosts and Gorons in the game.

You can get a Pixie instead of a Pippi in the slots.

There may be some advantages to gathering Pokémon individually.

Huh? Did a beginner gather that many in just three days?

Too much talent.
