Before the start of the conference, the judges were naturally introduced first.
Among the judging panel this time, Dr. Aidan and Dr. Oddjob were more renowned.
Compared to most of the other doctors present, their academic stature in the West could be said to be celebrated in a particular Domain, representing the most authoritative voices in that field.
Dr. Aidan specialized in the growth of Pokemon.
Dr. Oddjob, on the other hand, researched Elf Tools, which are wondrous treasures that can influence Pokemon.
The other three were also well-known figures in different fields, including even a top-tier Professional Trainer.
With the five of them seated there, covering domains that included Pokemon research, breeding, and training, they were well qualified to make the fairest judgments of the value of Pokemon products.
After introducing the esteemed judges, the opening ceremony that Fang Yuan had been dreading began.
As each judge took their turn to speak, expressing their expectations for the conference and the future of the academic community, other influential figures from various fields and countries also appeared as guests, prolonging the event for over an hour before it concluded.
The corporations were evidently accustomed to such proceedings; however, these regional conferences from various continents were obviously small-scale events compared to the culmination of the gold medal enterprises moving on to the genuine world-class "Pokemon World Expo." Undoubtedly, the scale of that event would be grander.
Finally, the host picked up the microphone again.
.........
The first exhibiting enterprise was the Japan Suzuki Group, with Dr. Purplewood's research team taking the stage for the presentation.
Dr. Purplewood was a renowned academic from Japan, known for researching Pokemon traits and Special Abilities, and his fame had soared in the academic field for the past two years.
The main reason for his rising fame was his team's new product, the Trait Capsule, which, if used on a Pokemon with two traits, could switch its existing trait for another, albeit with many restrictions and ineffective against many traits.
However, with the product's upgrades and the release of Trait Capsule 2.0, many of its flaws have been reduced, turning the product into a marvel in the realm of Pokemon.
In fact, research and upgrades to the Trait Capsule hadn't stopped, and with the substantial investment from the Suzuki Group, Dr. Purplewood's research team created a new product.
After Dr. Purplewood's team ascended the stage, the venue immediately fell silent, showing ample respect.
[Special trait enhancement capsule]
When the research team came on stage, the white screen lit up, and a line of text appeared instantly.
"Traits, the special powers inherent in every Pokemon, can yield unexpected results in battle when used adeptly. Before the invention of the Trait Capsule, people believed that a Pokemon's traits were innate and immutable....."
In the next minute, Dr. Purplewood talked about Pokemon traits, then explained how difficult it is to train and develop traits compared to Moves and physical fitness.
The presentation quickly moved to its main subject, the product the Suzuki Group was showcasing, "Special trait enhancement capsule."
"Let me categorize the level of mastery Pokemon have over their traits into several levels: Unawakened, Half Awakened, Basic Mastery, Skilled Autonomous Use, and the Ultimate Mastery level."
"Unawakened is relatively rare, Half Awakened means the Pokemon can't actively use trait powers and might use them unconsciously, but they are generally hard to control. Basic Mastery represents a Pokemon's initial utilization of Ability Power. Before traits were systematically classified, only Professional Trainers systematically developed Pokemon traits. Now, with the popularization of trait knowledge, even some college Trainers have begun to emphasize trait development…"
"But, it's undeniable that developing traits is much more difficult than learning Spirit Techniques, especially for New Trainers and Ordinary Trainers. And on the market, there are no breeding resources to help Trainers develop Pokemon traits. This Special trait enhancement capsule is the special resource we've developed for Pokemon traits, and its function is very simple..."
"Just like its name 'enhancement,' it not only strengthens the Ability Power but also enhances the Pokemon's mastery of the trait. The Suzuki Group's Professional Trainers and Master Level Trainers' Main Elves can benefit from the Trait Capsule, which has the potential to enhance a Pokemon's traits to the Ultimate level!!"
"Next, we will conduct an experiment with the Trait Capsule…"
To verify the real function of the Special trait enhancement capsule, Dr. Purplewood's team from the Suzuki Group began a live demonstration. Fang Yuan watched quietly; from his perspective, this product was incredibly powerful, undoubtedly a high-tier, even top-tier, resource for Pokemon cultivation.
However, the price would definitely not be low. If it was useful even for Master level spirits, the price of a single capsule would at least be in the seven-digit range in Renminbi, and could possibly reach eight digits.
The experimental result segment was also very successful, with the weaker the Pokemon's traits and mastery, the better the effects of the Special trait enhancement capsule, and vice versa.
Fang Yuan guessed that if it were used on a Master Level Pokemon, it might take several or even more than a dozen capsules to be effective.
After the presentation concluded, the five judges rated the Special trait enhancement capsule very highly; even if it was not as sensational as the trait exchange capsule, a gold medal was likely secured, as it was one of the few resources tailored for the cultivation of traits.
