Let you make animations and develop virtual Pokémon? Chapter 061

Time flew by like a white steed, and in the blink of an eye, October had quietly arrived.

Today, Arceus Company brought an exciting piece of news to all Pokémon players—they were going to hold a competition!

Douyin Live Platform, Taozi’s Live Stream.

“Taozi, hurry to the Arceus official website! They’re holding a competition!”

“Streamer, streamer, hurry up and sign up!”

“I’ve already signed up, hope to meet Taozi in the competition.”

“I’ve already checked, it seems the prize money for the competition held by Arceus Company is quite high.”

The commotion from the live stream’s bullet comments made Taozi, who had just seen the scene where Blue hid Poké Balls in her chest in Pokémon Special, momentarily stunned.

Arceus Company is holding a competition?

She immediately opened the Arceus platform and checked the latest announcement on the homepage.

[The Inaugural Arceus Cup Pokémon Tournament is Grandly Launched!]

Note: This competition is open to all players and you can participate in both events simultaneously! We look forward to your participation!

“Wow!!! So professional? Let me check out the Triathlon first.”

Taozi, with a clear understanding of her own abilities, chose to click on the “Pokémon Triathlon” link in the entertainment track.

[The First Arceus Cup! Pokémon Triathlon!]

All participants will receive a limited edition commemorative badge!

“Randomly drawing Pokémon sounds pretty interesting! It’s much more formal than the viewer competitions I used to hold. The champion reward has a lot of money, and I can even experience the second Pokémon game early! This is too good!”

Taozi’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the champion reward in the competition rules.

Immediately after, she eagerly clicked the sign-up button.

“I want to compete!”

[Congratulations on your successful registration! The first round of the competition will officially begin on October 20th, please patiently prepare for the competition!]

[Competition Stage 1: Online Qualifiers – AI Automatic Time Ranking]

[Promotion Rules: The top 1 million players with the shortest total time in the three challenges will advance! The second round will be a multiplayer format!]

Looking at the pop-up competition schedule, Taozi gasped.

“Only 1 million people can advance in the first round? It’s said that the number of Pokémon players worldwide has already exceeded 60 million, the competition is too fierce… And this is still a random Pokémon draw, the luck factor is too high…”

Taozi pursed her lips, closed the Triathlon webpage, and prepared to open the Master Showdown link.

“Let’s see what this Master Showdown is about, and sign up for it too.”

As soon as she said this, the live stream was filled with “boos.”

Seeing the bullet comments in the live stream start to mock her again, Taozi slammed her hand on the table.

“What’s that! The official Arceus already said that both competitions can be participated in simultaneously. Besides, am I that weak! I can guarantee that 90% of our live stream viewers aren’t as strong as me, okay!”

This was true, when it came to battling, 90% of the viewers in the live stream were not as good as her.

Taozi’s gaming talent might not be high, but her gaming hours were genuinely there.

As a game streamer, she spent a lot of time on games every day.

Ordinary players, however, might only have fragmented time after work or school. Even after half a year since the game’s launch, there were still many players who hadn’t obtained eight badges.

However, it was indeed rare to see a streamer like Taozi, who had a lot of time to play but hadn’t reached the champion rank after half a year.

[The First Arceus Cup! Pokémon Master Showdown!]

[Competition Process]

The competition adopts a points-based breakout system. All contestants will engage in an unlimited number of battles through intelligent system matching. A win will earn 1 point, while a loss will deduct 1 point.

Players will engage in fierce duels, with the top 32 determined by total points. The final offline tournament will be held at the Magic City Esports Center, with live broadcast and recording of the entire event! Compete for the title of the strongest trainer!

[Competition Rules]

1. Duplicate Pokémon are prohibited.

2. The level of all participating Pokémon will be forcefully adjusted to Level 50.

3. Banned Pokémon: Mewtwo, Mew, Moltres, Articuno, Zapdos.

[Competition Rewards]

Champion: 6, 000, 000 Dragon Kingdom Coins, title of “First Master Showdown Champion,” pure gold Arceus trophy, early access to the second Pokémon game!

Runner-up: 4, 000, 000 Dragon Kingdom Coins, title of “Runner-up”

Third Place: 2, 000, 000 Dragon Kingdom Coins, title of “Third Place”

4th- 8th Place: 800, 000 Dragon Kingdom Coins

9th- 16th Place: 300, 000 Dragon Kingdom Coins

17th- 32nd Place: 50, 000 Dragon Kingdom Coins

“!!! The prize money is much higher than the entertainment competition!” Taozi exclaimed.

She thought for a moment, then continued, “But it’s understandable. After all, battling is the core gameplay of Pokémon games, so it’s normal for the prize money to be higher than the entertainment competition. Let’s sign up first!”

[Congratulations on your successful registration! Point matching will officially begin on November 10th, please patiently prepare!]

[Battle Details: Players can carry a maximum of 3 Pokémon and engage in single battles with matched opponents.]

“Alright, everyone, only the top 32 can qualify, we have no chance. Let’s pin our hopes on the Triathlon instead.”

No matter how Taozi thought about it, she didn’t believe she could advance to the top 32 in the battle competition. Only the entertainment competition, which had a higher luck factor, was most suitable for her.
