Umfundi akachukunyiswa yinto ebonisiweyo yePokémon Scarlet kunye neViolet ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kwaye ukhathazekile kukuba iyaphuma kulo nyaka kwaphela.
Ndiziva ngathi ndiqalekisiwe kabini ngokuba bobabini a Star Wars fan kunye fan Pokémon. Bobabini banengxaki efanayo kuba ekuqaleni phantse yonke into echukunyiswe yi-franchise yajika yaba yigolide kwaye ngokuhamba kwexesha izinto ziye zaba mandundu ngakumbi de kube nzima nangakumbi ukukhumbula ukuba kwakutheni ukuze ube ngumlandeli kwasekuqaleni. I-Star Wars noko inamahla ndinyuka (Andora iyamangalisa!) kusekho izinto ezilungileyo ezenziwa ngamaxesha athile, kodwa ngePokémon ndinexhala lokuba ikwindlela esisigxina, eyehlayo.
I-Pokémon isengxakini iminyaka kodwa eyona nto ibalulekileyo kukuba eyona midlalo yamva nje, ezama ukwenza into eyahlukileyo. Igama eliphambili kule ngxelo kukuba 'zama' kuba enye yeengxaki ezinkulu ngePokémon yindlela elusizi ngayo itekhnoloji yegraphic. Iinzame zeSword & Shield zokuvula umdlalo wehlabathi zaziphelelwe lixesha kwaye zazizintloni.
Ngokuqinisekileyo, uTshintsho ayisiyiyo kanye indlu yamandla yobuchwephesha, kodwa iSword & Shield yayingamanqanaba aliqela ngezantsi kweZelda: Ukuphefumla kweWild, eyayingengomdlalo wokuphehlelelwa kuphela kodwa enye yayilungiselelwe uhlobo lwangaphambili. Ukusuka kwimbono yoyilo lweentsomi zePokémon: U-Arceus wayenamabhongo ngakumbi kwaye ilungile, kodwa yayilihlazo ngakumbi ngokwemizobo, ngakumbi njengoko kwakucacile ukuba umphuhlisi we-Game Freak wayesokola ukuwenza ukuba alunge.
Akukho mntu waziyo ukuba kuqhubeka ntoni kwi-Game Freak ngaphezu kokuba besenza nayiphi na enye indawo yeNintendo, kodwa kubonakala ngathi kucacile ukuba bebephantsi komyalelo wokuba babe nomdlalo omnye omkhulu wePokémon minyaka le, ukongeza kwi-spin-offs. Ngokwethiyori akuyongxaki kodwa ukujonga ngokukhawuleza kwiWikipedia kubonisa ukuba abasebenzi beGame Freak bangaphantsi kwama-200 abantu.
Elo linani elincinci ngendlela eqondakalayo labantu abaza kwenza imidlalo yenye yezona zinto zinkulu zomdlalo wevidiyo emhlabeni. Ngokuthelekisa, i-Rockstar North (eyona nto iphambili, kodwa ikude kwi-studio ye-GTA) ine-650 kunye ne-Ubisoft Montreal malunga ne-4,000. Injalo, amawaka amane. Uninzi lwezitudiyo ezinkulu zophuhliso ziseCanada, ngenxa yezizathu zekhefu lerhafu, kunye ne-EA Canada ejikeleze i-1,500.
Zombini i-Rockstar Games kunye ne-Ubisoft, kwaye eneneni uninzi lwezinye iinkampani kwishishini lemidlalo, ziinkampani ezincinci kuneNintendo, ezinokuzifumana ngokulula ukuba zizithathile. Ayisiyiyo ingxaki nangona kunjalo, inqaku lelokuba i-Ubisoft mhlawumbi iqeshe abantu abaninzi ekuphekeni kune-Game Freak yenza nabasebenzi babo bonke.
Ke ngelixa kulula kubalandeli ukukhalaza ngeGame Freak ngalo lonke ixesha andicingi ukuba lityala labo kwaphela. Basebenza kakhulu kwaye abanabasebenzi abancinci ukuya kuthi ga kwinqanaba elihlekisayo. Andazi – kwaye akukho mntu wumbi owenza ngaphandle kwabo – ukuba zinjani iimeko zokusebenza estudio kodwa ndiza kuqikelela ukuba ayintle.
Cinga ukuba inokuba ngcono kangakanani i-Arceus ukuba ayikhange ibonakale njengomdlalo we-PlayStation 2. Cinga ukuba bangxamele kangakanani kulo nyaka, kufuneka benze iScarlet & Violet ngexesha elinye leenyanga ezili-12. Leliphi ithuba owake waba nalo lo mdlalo lokuphuhlisa i-franchise, ngenxa yokuba lincinci ixesha elikhoyo lokuwenza? Ngokuqinisekileyo, mhlawumbi liqela elahlukileyo, kwaye i-Game Freak ibonakala ngathi ikhupha umsebenzi omninzi kwezinye iinkampani, kodwa yonke into ebonisiweyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ikhangeleka ngathi yi-mash-up ye-Sword & Shield nge-Arceus, eneziphoso zombini.
Nkqu nobugqwirha kule veki, nge ukulayisha itreyila engalunganga, ibonisa ukuba basondele kangakanani ekusikeni izinto ngokwetekhnoloji, kunye nokungqina ukuba ayizukuba nayo nayiphi na inkqubela-phambili efanelekileyo - enyanisweni, kubonakala ngathi ikhuphe izinto ezazisele ziseArceus. Abanye abalandeli baziqinisekisa ukuba oku kungenxa yokungakwazi ukwenza umsebenzi okanye ukunyathela kodwa kum kuyacaca ukuba ngumbuzo nje wexesha, abangazange babenandawo ikufutshane ngokwaneleyo.
Kucacile ukuba i-Scarlet & Violet iya kuba yenye intlekele yobugcisa kunye nelinye inyathelo elibuhlungu eliya kumdlalo sonke esasicinga ukuba ukho kwiminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo, kwaye enokuthi yenziwe ngokulula kwiminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo, ukuba kuphela uNintendo kunye neNkampani yePokémon yayinokuthi. tyala imali efunekayo kwi-Game Freak kunye ne-franchise.
