Umfundi akajabulile ngalokho okubonisiwe nge-Pokémon Scarlet ne-Violet kuze kube manje futhi ukhungathekile ukuthi izophuma kulo nyaka nhlobo.
Ngizizwa sengathi ngiqalekisiwe kabili ngokuba kokubili a I-star wars umlandeli kanye nomlandeli wePokémon. Bobabili banenkinga efanayo ngokuthi ekuqaleni cishe yonke into eyathintwa yi-franchise yaphenduka yaba yigolide kodwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi izinto ziye zaba zimbi kakhulu kwaze kwaba nzima nakakhulu ukukhumbula ukuthi kungani wawungumlandeli kwasekuqaleni. I-Star Wars okungenani inokwehla nokwenyuka kwayo (Andor iyamangalisa!) ngakho-ke kusekhona izinto ezinhle ezenziwa ngezikhathi ezithile, kodwa nge-Pokémon ngiyakhathazeka ukuthi isendleleni engapheli, eyehlayo.
I-Pokémon isineminyaka isenkingeni kodwa okuxakayo ukuthi intuthuko ekhathaza kakhulu kube imidlalo yakamuva, empeleni ezama ukwenza okuthile okuhlukile. Igama eliyisihluthulelo kuleso sitatimende lithi 'zama' ngoba enye yezinkinga ezinkulu ngePokémon ukuthi ubuchwepheshe bezithombe bubi kangakanani. Umzamo we-Sword & Shield wokuvula umdlalo wegeyimu womhlaba wawuphelelwe yisikhathi wawubangela amahloni.
Impela, i-Switch ayiyona i-powerhouse enamandla kakhulu, kodwa i-Sword & Shield yayingamazinga amaningana ngaphansi kwe-Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, okwakungewona nje umdlalo wokuqalisa kodwa owawuhloselwe uhlobo lwangaphambilini. Ngokombono wokuklama I-Pokémon Legends: U-Arceus wayenesifiso sokuvelela nakakhulu futhi lokho kuhle, kodwa futhi kwaba yihlazo nakakhulu mayelana nezithombe, ikakhulukazi njengoba kwakusobala ukuthi umthuthukisi we-Game Freak wayedonsa kanzima ukuze ayenze ibe yinhle kangako.
Akekho owaziyo ukuthi kwenzekani ku-Game Freak njengoba benza noma iyiphi enye ingxenye ye-Nintendo, kodwa kubonakala kusobala ukuthi bebengaphansi kwemiyalo yokuthi okungenani babe nomdlalo owodwa omkhulu we-Pokémon minyaka yonke, ngaphezu kwama-spin-offs. Ngombono lokho akuyona inkinga kodwa ukubuka ngokushesha ku-Wikipedia kuveza ukuthi abasebenzi be-Game Freak bangaphansi kwabantu abangu-200.
Leso yisibalo esincane ngendlela engachazeki yabantu abazokwenzela imidlalo yama-franchise amakhulu kakhulu egeyimu yevidiyo emhlabeni. Uma kuqhathaniswa, i-Rockstar North (eyinhloko, kodwa ekude nokuphela, isitudiyo se-GTA) sinezi-650 kanye ne-Ubisoft Montreal ezingaba ngu-4,000. Kunjalo, izinkulungwane ezine. Izitudiyo eziningi ezinkulu zokuthuthukisa ziseCanada, ngenxa yezizathu zekhefu lentela, kanti i-EA Canada inezilinganiselwa ku-1,500.
Kokubili Imidlalo ye-Rockstar kanye ne-Ubisoft, kanye nezinye izinkampani eziningi embonini yemidlalo, ziyizinkampani ezincane kune-Nintendo, ezingazithola kalula uma imfashini iyithatha. Akuyona leyo nkinga nokho, iphuzu ukuthi i-Ubisoft kungenzeka iqashe abantu abaningi ekuphekeni kune-Game Freak eyenza nabasebenzi bayo bonke.
Ngakho-ke nakuba kulula kubalandeli ukukhononda nge-Game Freak ngaso sonke isikhathi angicabangi ukuthi iphutha labo nhlobo. Basebenza ngokweqile futhi abanabasebenzi abancane cishe ngezinga elihlekisayo. Angazi - futhi akekho omunye umuntu owenza ngaphandle kwabo - ukuthi izimo zokusebenza zinjani estudiyo kodwa ngizoqagela ukuthi azizinhle.
Cabanga ukuthi i-Arceus ingaba ngcono kangakanani ukube ibingabukeki njengomdlalo we-PlayStation 2. Cabanga ukuthi kumele basheshe kangakanani kulo nyaka, kumele benze i-Scarlet & Violet esikhathini esiyizinyanga eziyi-12 esifanayo. Yiliphi ithuba lowo mdlalo owake waba nalo lokuthuthukisa i-franchise, uma kubhekwa isikhathi esincane esikhona sokuwenza? Impela, mhlawumbe iqembu elihlukile, futhi i-Game Freak ibonakala ikhipha umsebenzi omningi kwezinye izinkampani, kodwa yonke into eboniswayo kuze kube manje ibukeka njengokuhlanganiswa kwe-Sword & Shield with Arceus, namaphutha akho kokubili.
Ngisho nesiphithiphithi kuleli sonto, nge ukulayisha i-trailer engalungile, ikhombisa ukuthi kumele basondele kangakanani ekusikeni izinto ngokobuchwepheshe, kanye nokufakazela ukuthi ngeke kube nokuthuthuka okubalulekile - empeleni, kubonakala sengathi kukhishwe izinto ezazivele ziku-Arceus. Abanye abalandeli bazitshela ukuthi lokhu kungenxa yokungakwazi ukusebenza noma ukunyathela kodwa kimina kusobala ukuthi umbuzo wesikhathi, abangakaze basondele kuwo ngokwanele.
Kusobala kakhulu ukuthi i-Scarlet & Violet izoba enye inhlekelele yezobuchwepheshe kanye nesinye isinyathelo esibuhlungu esibheke emdlalweni sonke esasicabanga ukuthi wawukhona eminyakeni engama-20 edlule, futhi owawungenziwa kalula okungenani eminyakeni eyishumi edlule, ukube nje uNintendo kanye neThe Pokémon Company tshala imali edingekayo ku-Game Freak kanye ne-franchise.
