"Legend of Pokémon: Breath of the Wild," is a game that launched on all platforms, similar to "Genshin Impact" from the previous world. However, unlike Genshin, this game's in-game purchases focus on skins, much like "Azur Lane" from before.

For example, players could buy skins for Pokémon, trainers, and even bicycles. Some items were also available for purchase, though there were free alternatives in the game. However, these free items were limited in quantity per day, so if you wanted more before the next day, you'd have to pay.

At this moment, Ren held the final version of "Legend of Pokémon: Breath of the Wild" in his hands. To say he was excited would be an understatement.

He was more excited for this game than for any other he'd ever played, for two main reasons.

First, in his previous life, there was never an open-world Pokémon game, so this was a game he had built from the ground up. Second, he was a Pokémon fan in his past life, and he had always hoped for an open-world Pokémon game. Sadly, it never came to be before he ended up in this new world. Now, he finally had the chance to play it.

He couldn't wait to see what they had created.

Filled with excitement, Ren and Yueyue sat on the soft couch, each holding a phone as they launched the game.

The opening story began in Pallet Town, but unlike previous Pokémon games where players chose between three starter Pokémon, Ren had only one option—Pikachu. However, this Pikachu was much stronger than the typical one, a special version with higher base stats.

In the original games, there were special versions of Pokémon, like the Spiky-eared Pichu, who traveled through time with Celebi and couldn't evolve into Pikachu due to the journey's effects.

In many games, players often started with powerful characters, like in Genshin Impact or the "starter trio" in Azur Lane. So, it made sense for Ren to tweak the game, ensuring that this Pikachu lived up to its reputation.

Although the storyline began similarly to Ash's journey in the anime, with players traveling from Pallet Town and encountering various Pokémon and story events, it wasn't an exact replica. Only major events mirrored Ash's journey.

Initially, players couldn't play online, but once they completed the tutorial, Pallet Town would be filled with other players, and they could start their Pokémon Master journey together.

And that's exactly what Ren and Yueyue did, setting off on their adventure.

But soon...

"Daaad!!!" Yueyue screamed, glaring at her dad.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Ren asked, grinning, not even looking at her.

His nonchalant attitude made Yueyue even angrier.

How could he ask that? Her dad had been throwing poop at her in the game!

Her screen kept showing the message: "You've been hit by player 'LazyPooper's poop.'"

While it didn't do any damage in the game, it was super insulting!

"If you're so tough, you try throwing poop at me!" Ren teased, raising an eyebrow in challenge.

This only made Yueyue more upset.

Sure, she could throw poop back, but she needed to collect it first. Poop didn't just appear out of nowhere! Her dad must have been collecting it while they were exploring, but where could she find any right now?

But the game didn't only revolve around poop throwing. In fact, that wasn't even an official feature. The game had a throwing mechanic that was crucial.

Players could throw Poké Balls to catch Pokémon, toss food to attract them, or even throw rocks to stun them. If they were lucky, there was a 0.001% chance of stunning a Pokémon and capturing it, but more often than not, just like in the TV show, throwing a rock might just make the Pokémon angry.

Of course, you could also throw poop at Pokémon to provoke them, which would give the Pokémon a buff, increasing its damage and making it more likely to use offensive moves rather than status-altering ones like Growl or Tail Whip.

Seeing that Yueyue was about to engage in a real-life battle, Ren quickly put down his phone and coughed. "Okay, okay, let's stop fooling around. I need to talk to the uncles and aunts about something."

Meanwhile, on a gaming forum in the Pokémon section...

Many fans were discussing the different ways to play Pokémon games. Some were showing off their rare Pokémon from Pokémon GO and their impressive stats.

"Doesn't Picca Comics make games anymore? I think the Pokémon series has so much potential for new games," one user commented.

"I think we already have enough to keep us busy. Developing a game isn't easy, you know," replied another.

"True, but I have to say the evolution concept is pretty interesting. Most pet games are just about raising cats or dogs. At best, you get a game where animals go on adventures. But since Picca introduced evolution, a lot of similar games have popped up."

"Don't even get me started on those cash grabs. Their so-called evolution is just making players pay to get the same character over and over, calling it a 'breakthrough,' and the art is terrible!"

"Wait a minute, Picca Games just posted a new tweet! Another game is coming!"

With this comment, many users turned their attention to the official account. There were no images, just a message saying that a new Pokémon game was on the way, and fans should stay tuned.

"What kind of game is it?"

"Maybe another card game?"

"Could be an action-adventure game where players choose a Pokémon and go on an adventure?"

"Could it be a simulation game?"

"A simulation game? No way, that's too niche."

While no one knew what type of game it would be, everyone was certain that Picca Games had something planned.

Fans began speculating in forums and communities, trying to guess what kind of game Picca would release next.

After all, there wasn't much information to go on.
