Game Creator in a New World

Now, John's success with "Second World" is even more certain.

The"Second World" has the largest player base on the entire Canglan Star. Even if John created all the game worlds he imagined, he isn't confident he could surpass "Second World."

This is the best advertising space!

Compared to starting from scratch, with the help of "Second World," John can quickly make his name known and increase the popularity of his future games.

After thinking this through, John didn't delay any longer. He meditated in his heart and entered the virtual space again.

John's task now is to quickly design everything related to the first generation of Pokémon so that he can think about other things later.

...

More than ten days passed in a flash, and the date John had agreed upon with the officials when he took on the task had arrived.

In fact, it only took John two days to design all the first-generation Pokémon.

For the rest of the time, John had been modifying some of the settings, relying mainly on the abilities of Michael and Adam.

Although they don't know anything about game design, their professional backgrounds shouldn't be forgotten. John has absolute confidence in the design of Pokémon. The only potential issue is integrating Pokémon into the real world.

That is, adapting the original Pokémon world to fit the settings needed for "Second World," which is where Michael and Adam excel.

In the first few days, with John's help as the private server GM, Michael and Adam witnessed everything shown in John's information, including various forms of Pokémon, magical evolution abilities, type advantages, unique abilities, fantastic ideas, and the different effects of hundreds of moves.

With the help of Michael and Adam, the integration between the Pokémon and the world gradually improved, and finally, the perfected final version was handed over to the Dragon Kingdom officials.

All John could do afterward was wait silently.

The "Pokémon" submitted for review still needed to be tested by Dragon Kingdom officials themselves, a process commonly known as internal testing.

On this day, John finally received a response.

"It finally passed."

John smiled slightly and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he had confidence in Pokémon, "Second World" is someone else's game. No matter how well he did, success depended on their approval.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong.

If the review hadn't passed, John would have had to make the game independent, losing the opportunity to leverage the popularity of "Second World."

Then John would suffer a big loss. After all, he is just a completely unknown entity. Even with Michael and Adam's help in promoting it, it wouldn't compare to "Second World," which already has billions of players.

"The time to go online has been set, just three days later, but only in Seaside City for now."

Adam, in charge of virtual games in Seaside City, had received the news.

"Yeah," John responded lightly, not expecting it to spread to the entire Dragon Kingdom or Blue Star initially.

Even if they are confident, it still has to be validated by real-world performance. Seaside City is the first experimental area. As long as the response there is good, the basic setting framework is in place. Expanding it would be straightforward if it is popularized in the Dragon Kingdom.

"Second World will also issue an announcement soon."

"It's finally going online! I can't wait to win the Pokemon League championship!" Lily clenched her fists full of vitality, showing a Squirtle-like expression.

These days, she has been practicing Pokémon battles on private servers. With the help of John's data, she is no longer the rookie who was easily defeated at the beginning.

In the Thomas family, only John can compete with her. Michael and Adam didn't focus on their skill points in this direction at all.

After Lily became familiar with all kinds of Pokémon information, John lost more battles against her than he won, which broke his idea of being a Pokémon trainer after the game was launched.

Well, after all, his main job is as a virtual game designer, so he shouldn't stray from his primary responsibilities.

"By the way, what about the Pokémon League and the Pokémon Center?" John suddenly thought of something and asked.

"What else can I say?" Michael glanced at John, saw what he was thinking, and said lightly, "How can the strategic organizations of the Pokémon League and the Pokémon Center be entrusted to us to operate?"

John couldn't help showing a disappointed expression when he heard this—it was all about the money!

Once the Pokémon League is established, countless benefits can be gained from the battles and Pokémon Centers, and the authority over such things will be indispensable.

But there's nothing he can do about it. Official recognition doesn't come easily. If John went independent, although he could control these things, as mentioned before, popularity is crucial! Attracting players is the key to earning points!

At this time, Michael showed a rare smile and continued: "Don't worry about those. The higher-ups didn't want to take advantage of us, so they offered a reward."

"The gym in Seaside City doesn't need to be campaigned for; it's directly handed over to our family."

"A gym." John smiled upon hearing this, "It's not a bad reward."

A gym is considered an important organization in Pokémon after the League and Pokémon Center. After all, it is responsible for assessing trainers. The setting of the gym badge to participate in the league competition is naturally included.

As for other benefits, there is no need to talk about those.

For example, if Pokémon can truly do what John described, solving the employment problem for many people and forming a complete industrial chain, Michael, as a person in the officialdom, will benefit immensely.
