"Gengar Takes Center Stage at the Start! Impressive!"

"Okay, family."

Bai Zhou received a message from Professor Oak, inserted the game cartridge into the Pokédex, and with a crisp sound, the game officially started.

"Professor Oak has finished his work, let's start the game."

Unlike the beta version that Crimson received, the officially released version is meticulously polished in terms of details.

Both the exquisite art style and the immersive background music have undergone repeated refinement and optimization by a professional team.

The screen lights up, a pixelated shooting star streaks across the night sky, and the dazzling Pokémon Studio logo appears.

The pitch-black background gradually brightened, revealing itself from behind a Gengar, which was confronting a Nidorino. After a subtle pull, the scene suddenly flashed.

Crimson, turquoise, and azure make their appearance, taking center stage on the screen alongside the starter Pokémon standing behind them, before finally settling on the title displaying flames and entwined vines.

Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen

"Holy crap! This animation quality is absolutely amazing!"

"My precious Akaboku! My precious Akaboku!"

"Am I the only one concerned about the opening match? It's clearly a skilled player directing the game!"

"Have you ever played Pokémon? Some things are done haphazardly, based on assumptions."

"Gengar took center stage at the start! Impressive!"

Bai Zhou glanced at the scrolling bullet screen, gestured for Gastly to change its smiling expression, and began to explain:

"The Pokémon Project will be released in two versions, FireRed and LeafGreen. In addition to the Pokémon they share, each version will also have some unique Pokémon. However, for this demo version, I won't distinguish between versions."

"And this is also the second core element of the game: social interaction and trading. You can connect with your friends' Pokédexs to trade the Pokémon you own, ultimately achieving the goal of completing the entire Pokédex!"

"Not a buddy? What am I supposed to do then! You know, someone as handsome as me, nobody wants to be my friend. Hurry up and add an online multiplayer game for me!"

"It's okay, just buy two versions, and you can exchange them for whatever you want."

"A trading function? Doesn't that mean you can use your own trained Pokémon to battle with your friends? Holy crap, a cyber trainer!"

Bai Zhou, of course, noticed the feedback from the live chat, and he explained with a smile:

"Of course, Pokémon trading can also be random, because Pokémon is a global network, so you can trade with others online even if you don't have any friends."

"Not only that, Pokémon also supports ranked battles. Just like the league tournaments held in real life, you can use the Pokémon you have bred to participate in ranked battles and win rankings each season. Different rankings have different rewards."

"In addition, online multiplayer is now available, which means you can bring your Pokémon to your friends' worlds to play. However, please note that the story progress is determined by the host."

"No, I was just saying, you're serious!"

"Friends can enter the same world together! I saw in the PV that there are dangerous wilderness areas and villainous organizations, right? If I have enough friends, wouldn't I be invincible!"

"A league tournament in the game? Hmph, it seems you're finally coming out of hiding after all this time. Enough said, I'll take first place."

"You've been talking about this for so long, when are you finally going to release it?! I've already pre-ordered two versions!"

"Release date... I can only say it's coming soon, just a few days after the live stream."

Bai Zhou kept everyone in suspense, quickly skipping over the operating instructions.

On the screen, Professor Oak's familiar figure appeared, beginning his classic opening remarks.

"Ahem, the game has begun, it has begun."

Bai Zhou provided timely reminders.

The character selection screen appears, with unique illustrations in crimson and azure occupying the left and right sides.

"Hey, you know what, Professor Oak seems really kind and approachable."

"Fun fact: Professor Oak was the first champion of the Kanto League. Don't let his appearance fool you, one punch from him could smash your head open."

"Choose Azure! Choose Miss Azure! Let Crimson go to Cyan!"

Bai Zhou ignored the provocative comments and decisively chose Crimson.

If he were playing it himself, he would definitely choose Azur Lane, but this is an official demo, so he can't just choose based on his own whims.

Then, the formidable rival, Qinglu, made his appearance, and his signature arrogant demeanor sparked a barrage of comments like "Young Master Qinglu!" and "Our mortal enemy has arrived!"

The names will remain the default, which are the names that Red gave them when they first played the game – Little Red and Little Green.

The screen lit up, and Xiao Chi opened his eyes from his bed in his room, officially entering the player control interface.

"The game defaults to a third-person follow view, but you can also manually switch to a first-person immersive view. In addition, the game has a complete dynamic weather change and day-night cycle system. The Pokémon and events you encounter may be different at different times and in different weather."

As Bai Zhou explained, he controlled Xiao Chi to explore the room.

"Remember, there are many things on the map that you can explore, and these explorations often yield unexpected rewards."

In the scene, Xiao Chi walks to the computer, performs some operations, and then pulls out a healing item.

"This is so interactive! They even made interactive animations for such a small thing!"

"Hurry up, what should we do next?"

"Is this the room in Crimson Legend? It looks quite simple and plain. Mr. Saltyfish, why don't you go check out the other furniture interactions?"

"I won't show the other interactions here. You can experience them for yourselves when the official version is released. Now let's go downstairs to find Mom."

As Bai Zhou spoke, he manipulated Xiao Chi to go downstairs.

After a heartwarming conversation with her mother, she learned the first step of the adventure.

I'm going to visit Professor Oak next door.

Pushing open the door, the entire panorama of Pallet Town unfolds before the player's eyes, accompanied by melodious and soothing background music.

The grass is lush and green, and the houses are scattered about.

The entrance to Route 1 can be faintly seen in the distance.

"The map is an open world, but there is a clear main storyline, which is to become the league champion. In addition, there are many hidden storylines waiting for everyone to discover."

Bai Zhou maneuvered Xiao Chi to do two somersaults on the spot, then hopped and skipped onto the main road, heading towards the villa next door, adding as he did so:

"Today I'll focus on the main storyline and give everyone a general overview. After the game is officially released and some time has passed, I'll do a live stream to provide a walkthrough so everyone can fill in any gaps in their knowledge."

Xiao Chi enters the villa and, through conversations with Nanami and the handsome researcher, obtains a town map item and his next objective.

Go to the research institute north of town to find Dr. Oak.

"Does the Legend of Green have an older sister? If you have her contact information, please send it to me, thank you."

"It truly is a seamless open world! There's absolutely no loading screen from room to town! And Pallet Town is already this big; I can't even imagine how large Viridian City and Saffron City will be!"

"Main Quest Update: Find the missing (?) Professor Oak."

"I don't care about anything else! Who is this handsome researcher? This character model... I can't resist!"

"In accordance with the normal procedure, after finding Professor Oak at the research institute, he will give the player the opportunity to choose their initial partner, which is the so-called starter Pokémon."

Bai Zhou's voice carried a hint of persuasion, but Xiao Chi did not leave the room. Instead, she kept interacting with the handsome researcher.

"But here's a little trick: Pallet Town, as the starting town, hides quite a few things, such as..."
