Pokémon Go Announced for iOS & Android

   

   

Pokémon GO Allows Players to Catch ‘em All in the Real World

The Pokémon Company, Niantic and Nintendo today announced their collaboration on a new project for mobile devices called Pokémon GO. This ground breaking mobile game will encourage fans to search far and wide in the real world to discover Pokémon. Pokémon GO will be available for download at no charge on the App Store and Google Play in 2016.

In the past, the Pokémon video game series has used real world locations like the Hokkaido and Kanto regions of Japan, as well as New York and Paris, as inspiration for its fantasy settings. In Pokémon GO, players will be able to catch, trade, and battle in the real world by utilizing location information. Pokémon GO’s gameplay experience goes beyond what appears on screen as players explore their neighborhoods, communities and the world they live in to discover Pokémon alongside friends and other players. Junichi Masuda, game director of the Pokémon video game series at Game Freak. will be contributing to the project. His involvement will ensure that the fun of Pokémon makes its way into Pokémon GO, while developing new types of gameplay and thinking of ways to connect this project with the main series of Pokémon video games. In-app purchases will be available in Pokémon GO.

“Our challenge was to develop a great game for smart phone devices that expressed the core values of Pokémon,” said Tsunekazu Ishihara, president and CEO of The Pokémon Company. “Pokémon GO is the answer to that challenge.”

“Pokémon GO is a wonderful combination of Niantic’s real world gaming platform and one of the most beloved franchises in popular culture,” said John Hanke, founder and CEO of Niantic, Inc. “Our partnership with The Pokémon Company and Nintendo is an exciting step forward in real-world gaming and using technology to help players discover the world and people around them.”

Players will be able to enhance their Pokémon GO experience even when they are looking away from their smartphones by using a unique device called Pokémon GO Plus. By pressing a button on Pokémon GO Plus, simple in-game actions like catching a Pokémon can be performed. Developed and manufactured by Nintendo Co., Ltd., Pokémon GO Plus will connect to smartphones via Bluetooth and by flashing and vibrating, will notify players about events like the appearance of a Pokémon nearby.

Pokémon GO is being developed by Niantic, Inc. Originally founded by Google Earth co-creator John Hanke as a start-up within Google, Niantic is known for creating Ingress, the augmented reality mobile game which utilizes GPS technology to fuel a sci-fi story encompassing the entire world. Ingress currently has 12 million downloads worldwide.

　　玩家对阵营做出贡献的管道，包括将自己捕捉到的神奇宝贝放置在我方道馆，或是前往挑战被放置在敌方道馆的神奇宝贝。 跟「PokéStops」一样，「神奇宝贝道馆」也会与真实世界景点进行结合。

　　《神奇宝贝 GO》现正开发中，即将在日本举行场测。 官方强调，场测版本的游戏内容、对应语言以及用户接口都并非最终版本，更多详情会在日后陆续公开。

New Pokémon GO Features Announced

The Pokémon Company and Niantic today revealed new features for their upcoming mobile release, Pokémon GO. The much-anticipated mobile game launching later this year on the App Store and Google Play will encourage fans to search far and wide in the real world to discover Pokémon. An early user test limited to Japan only is planned for Pokémon GO while the game is still in active development. Features, available languages, design, and overall appearance are not finalized.

In Pokémon GO, players around the globe will explore their surroundings to find and catch wild Pokémon hiding in our midst. Some wild Pokémon appear only in their native environments; for example, Water-type Pokémon may only appear near lakes and oceans. As players explore the world around them, their phones will vibrate to let them know a Pokémon is nearby. Once they have encountered a Pokémon, it can be caught by using the phone’s touch screen to throw a Poké Ball. Poké Balls and other special items can be found at PokéStops located at interesting places such as public art installations, historical markers and monuments.

As players progress through Pokémon GO, their Trainer level will increase, enabling them to capture more-powerful Pokémon and gain access to more items. Some Pokémon can be evolved if the same species is caught on multiple occasions. Pokémon Eggs, which can be found at PokéStops, will hatch after players walk a certain distance. Players will be able to impress their friends by unlocking achievement medals that are earned by completing a variety of challenges.

During gameplay, Pokémon GO players will be encouraged to join one of three teams and engage in Gym battles with other teams. Once they have joined a team, players will have the ability to assign their Pokémon to empty Gyms. Like PokéStops, Gyms can be found at real locations in the world, and because only one Pokémon per player can be placed at a given Gym, team members will need to work together to build a strong defense. A Gym claimed by one team can be challenged by the other two teams.

With real-life surroundings providing a backdrop for encounters with wild Pokémon, this unique Pokémon game represents the next generation of Niantic’s “Real World” gaming platform, which combines mobile location technology and Augmented Reality to create a gaming experience that motivates players to go outside and explore the world around them.

• Pokémon have natures: Stoic, Assassin, Guardian, Raider, Protector, Sentry, and Champion.

• Pokémon have CP values. It is not yet known that this means, but there is speculation that it might be “Capture Points.” The higher the Capture Points, the more difficult it is to capture.

• There are normal, legendary, and mythical Pokémon. All Pokémon types, including Fairy, are present in the game.

• You evolve Pokémon via Evolution Shards obtained by battling wild Pokémon. Once you obtain enough Shards, you’l receive an Evolution Stone.

• Medals will function as achievements, and will be awarded to you when you’ve captured a certain number of Pokémon, walked a certain amount of steps, participated in a certain amount of gym battles, etc.

• You can buy packages including items and gems with real-world money.

• There will be a day-night cycle.

《神奇宝贝 GO》场测开始前基本情报总整理 利用位置情报的「真实世界游戏」

　　2016 年 3 月 29 日起，利用位置情报在真实世界中捕捉神奇宝贝的智能型手机游戏《神奇宝贝 GO（Pokémon GO）》（iOS／Android）的官方场测将在日本正式开始。

　　本作是经手系列作品的 Pokémon、任天堂、GAME FREAK 与以《虚拟入口 Ingress》（iOS／Android）闻名的 Niantic 共同开发的作品，也是受到全世界玩家瞩目的作品之一。 本篇报导就要向玩家介绍这款利用位置情报的游戏基础，以及至今所公开过的情报总整理。

《神奇宝贝 GO》日本国内场测招待开始

　　本作针对日本国内的场测参加者招待已经在今天（2016 年 3 月 29 日）开始。 根据开发本作的 Niantic 官方部落格来看，这次测试会以玩家所使用的装置以及真实世界游戏的经验等为抽选基准。 部落格中也公布了抽选以及招待等方法。 就算今天没有收到电子邮件通知，官方之后似乎也会陆续增加开放测试的玩家数量。

在火中、水中、草中、森林中... 利用位置情报来寻找神奇宝贝？

　　虽然文章开头就向大家介绍「本作是利用位置情报在真实世界中捕捉神奇宝贝」，但相信对于从未接触过这类型游戏的玩家们会有点无法想象。

　　单形容的话，就是把游戏跟动画中熟悉的「神奇宝贝大师之旅」化为现实。 玩家要前往被登录为神奇宝贝出现地点的现实世界古迹或建筑物，在智能型手机上捕捉神奇宝贝。 而智能型手机其实就是当作导航来使用而已，要捕捉神奇宝贝的话就必须亲自前往该地点才行，也就是说玩家自己的行动力是很重要的。

　　回顾过去公开情报的话，可得知玩家等级是透过捕捉神奇宝贝来提升。 让游戏中分为 3 个势力的神奇宝贝训练师们参加「道馆争夺战」则是最大目的。

　　神奇宝贝的获得方法除了投掷宝贝球之外，也可在「神奇宝贝停驻点（PokéStops）」中获得神奇宝贝的蛋，只要孵化就可以成为伙伴。 要孵化神奇宝贝蛋，就必须进行长距离的移动才行，所以玩家带着智能型手机出远门的状况应该也会增加。 换个方向来想，一边孵化神奇宝贝蛋一边散步减肥也是一举两得的事。

重点新情报汇整

• 在神奇宝贝停驻点中获得宝贝球以及神奇宝贝蛋
• 根据所捕捉的神奇宝贝数量提升训练师等级
• 提升等级的话就可以遭遇到更强的神奇宝贝
• 从 3 个阵营中选择所属队伍，参加道馆战斗
• 达成游戏中的挑战事项，就可获得成就勋章
  

与其他玩家交流变得更重要？ 影片中所提示的情报总整理

　　在此要以先前曝光的影片来为大家整理出尚未公开的情报。 在目前所公开的宣传影片中可以看到战斗、交换神奇宝贝，以及玩家们协力挑战野生超梦的场面。 从已得知的新情报来观赏影片的话，或许会有新发现？

   

　　在影片中可得知，本作与现实世界的地点有所链接，靠近湖畔或海的话就有可能遇到水属性的神奇宝贝，但河边以外的地点是否也一样有所关联就不得而知了。

　　由于《神奇宝贝》系列作过去也曾以日本、纽约、巴黎这些现实世界的城市为基础，打造出游戏内的冒险舞台，因此说不定也会有只会在特定国家栖息的神奇宝贝？

　　看来若是想要将更多神奇宝贝登录在自己的图鉴中的话，与其他玩家进行神奇宝贝交换也变得更重要了。

神奇宝贝的交换

　　除了交换神奇宝贝，似乎也可以与其他玩家协力进行战斗。 虽然看起来也很像是在争夺道馆的「道馆战斗」，但影片中还可看到对应 3 VS 3 的多人战斗。

　　那么，可以任意选择指令或者是使用道具来支持吗？ 这些系统的详情也是令人在意的地方。

神奇宝贝战斗

　　影片中也有出现复数玩家可以参加的特别事件，也可以看到随着倒数一起出现的超梦与许多玩家进行战斗的场面。 在倒数时间结束前打倒目标的话，似乎参加战斗的所有玩家都可以获得神奇宝贝的样子。

多人玩家挑战的事件

　　在此虽然回顾了基本情报，但关于战斗详情以及神奇宝贝的栖息地等依然是有着许多谜团。 虽然不知道在场测时是否能一探本作全貌，但是将真实世界与虚拟世界融合的《神奇宝贝 GO》世界确实引起了全世界的关注。

《神奇宝贝 战棋大师》于 Google Play 抢先推出 以玩偶展开阵地攻防战

　　Pokémon 和 HEROZ 共同开发的智能型手机战略游戏《神奇宝贝 战棋大师（暂译，ポケモンコマスター）》Android 版在今（11）日于日本抢先上架，iOS 版预计日后推出。

※ 本作目前仅于日本地区推出。











攻占本阵就胜利！ 基本规则介绍

　　《神奇宝贝 战棋大师》是一款使用「神奇宝贝」的玩偶来互相对战的桌上游戏。 玩家要和对手交互移动桌上的玩偶，设法抢先攻占对手本阵。



我方的本阵会以蓝色表示，对方的本阵则是橘色



抢先抵达对手阵地的一方即为胜利者

　　本作的特征之一就在于以 3D CG 呈现、各具特征的神奇宝贝玩偶，玩家可以收集喜爱的角色来培育出专属的队伍。







各式各样的神奇宝贝都会以生动战棋的模样现身

　　获得神奇宝贝的方法，除了在战斗中取胜之外，也可以在游戏内商店以「钻石」来抽奖购买。 钻石可花费实际金钱购买，也会随着游戏进度取得。







AI 是战斗的好伙伴！ 棋盘上的脑力对决

　　在战斗的时候，玩家要安排 6 只神奇宝贝来组成「手牌」，也就是说场上最多会有 12 个棋子彼此争夺地盘。 玩家一回合只能移动一个棋子，因此战略思考尤为重要。





神奇宝贝们都有各自的特色，因此要如何组成牌组也是重点

　　如果与对手的旗子相邻，就会触发神奇宝贝对战，用绝招打退对手就能离本阵更进一步。 战斗的规则由轮盘决定，而游戏中也有可对场地或神奇宝贝产生特别效果的「道具卡」。







「道具卡」的存在为棋局增添更多变量

　　值得一提的是，本作会有特殊的「AI 装置」成为玩家的伙伴，当玩家不知道自己下一步该如何行动的时候，就可以委托 AI 来帮忙。 AI 会考虑玩家牌组、盘面状况、对手强度等条件，实时判断最好的选择，代替玩家来移动棋子。





「AI 装置」会协助玩家决定下一步棋该如何走

　　本游戏是由以构筑人工智能闻名的 HEROZ 来提供 AI，该公司曾推出的手机游戏《将棋 WARS（将棋ウォーズ）》也拥有曾经击败日本职业棋士的纪录。 HEROZ 曾强调「HEROZ 的 AI 并不是『竞争』而是以『共斗』为命题来设计」，玩家可以在本游戏中体验和 AI 通力合作的独特乐趣。

我要成为饭店大王！？ 《神奇宝贝 战棋大师》的世界观

　　《神奇宝贝 战棋大师》的舞台是一座高级饭店林立的岛屿，这座岛同时也是「神奇宝贝玩偶大会（Pokemon Figure Game）」的举办场地。 究竟会有什么样的故事等待玩家探索呢？









挑战自己的能耐！ 于在线对战磨练实力

　　《神奇宝贝 战棋大师》也搭载网络在线对战功能，可透过「Rank Match（ランクマッチ）」功能快速搜寻到实力相当的对手，「Room Match」则是能与好友对战。





　　特别的是，在在线对战模式中，玩家还能够使用比普通的 AI 更聪明的「超级 AI」。 由于使用条件有所限制，可要抓准机会使用。



　　随着《神奇宝贝 战棋大师》Android 版抢先上架，官方也举行了每日登入礼以及特别登入礼等活动，更多详情可参考官方公告。
