October 20th, Tuesday.
In a business office building in Tokyo.
Oleana finished organizing her docunts, brushed aside the chestnut hair framing her cheeks, and stretched wearily.
She pulled a small photo fra from her drawer and gazed at it intently, her cheeks gradually flushing.
Just as she reached out to touch the fra, a knock sounded at the door.
"P-Please, co in!" Oleana fumbled to shove the fra back into the drawer, her voice hoarse.
Natsu pushed the door open, a Gengar floating beside him, and greeted her with a smile. "Good morning."
Oleana blinked in surprise, her voice tinged with nervousness. "I thought you were... competing in the tournant!"
"The draw is this afternoon, so I thought I'd stop by on the way."
Natsu smiled warmly. "You've been working hard lately. Thank you!"
"N-No, not at all! It's an honor to serve you!" Oleana replied, her voice trembling with excitent.
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure..."
Oleana lowered her head, instinctively reaching to adjust her glasses, only to find they weren't there.
Natsu coughed awkwardly. "By the way, how's the revenue from the recent gas?"
As soon as work was ntioned, Oleana's expression turned serious. She flipped through the accounts and said, "After deducting other expenses, the net profit each month reaches 2 million Pokémon Coins. Currently, the company's total funds are..."
Hearing the numbers, Natsu let out a low whistle.
Among the ga revenues, Plants vs. Zombies and Angry Pidove were the top earners, primarily from mobile ga inco.
If he could cash out, he could easily pay off Cynthia's debt!
But as a limited liability company, Natsu was well aware of the separation between personal and corporate assets.
Not that he held much hope of regaining his freedom.
Better to grow the company and make it stronger...
Maybe one day, Cynthia could be the boss lady...
Natsu shook his head, snapping out of his daydream, and handed Oleana a USB drive. "This is the project plan for the next project. No rush, take your ti."
Oleana looked at Natsu in astonishnt.
In just half a year, he had produced three hit gas, and now he was presenting yet another project plan...
Calling him a genius ga developer almost felt like an understatent.
But... being able to assist such a boss was truly a stroke of luck.
Opening the files on the USB drive, Oleana began to read carefully: [Pokémon Trading Card Ga (PTCG)
The plan is for a tabletop ga centered around collecting, trading, and battling.
It aims to allow children who cannot participate in or are eager to experience Pokémon battles to enjoy the charm of Pokémon and battles...]
Seeing Oleana's focused expression,
Natsu leaned against the desk and explained, "The barrier to entry for Pokémon battles is high. Even if you catch a Pokémon, not every family can afford the costs of being a Trainer."
"But according to surveys, being a Trainer is still the number one career choice for children."
"This card ga is aid at children, teaching them about type advantages, various Pokémon evolution forms, and Pokémon abilities in a fun and educational way."
Natsu smiled. "While it might not appeal much to adult Trainers, for children, this could be their first step into the world of Pokémon battles."
Oleana's eyes widened, and she nodded repeatedly.
In terms of the market... toys aid at children were still a vast, untapped ocean.
While there were Pokémon-related card gas on the market,
They were mostly simple collectibles without interactive elents.
If it could truly incorporate Pokémon knowledge into the cards, as Natsu-sensei suggested...
Teachers, parents, and children alike would be satisfied with the product.
And this Pokédex-like style was exactly what the Pokémon Company excelled at, wasn't it?
Oleana looked up at Natsu with a fiery gaze. "But... the workload for this card ga seems enormous..."
"I'll reach out to Professor Samuel Oak in Kanto for assistance."
Natsu smiled. "If the Pokémon Trading Card Ga can truly promote Pokémon-related knowledge, I'm sure Professor Samuel Oak would be very pleased."
Whether it was creating the Pokédex or hosting lectures, Professor Samuel Oak had always made it his mission to spread knowledge.
If there really was a card ga that promoted Pokémon culture, Professor Samuel Oak would undoubtedly be the first to try it.
"In short, there are three key elents."
Natsu held up three fingers:
"First, include Pokémon-related knowledge on each card, such as abilities and evolution forms."
"Second, establish a comprehensive ga system that simulates Pokémon battles, including type advantages and status conditions."
"Third, target the market precisely, focusing on children in Trainer academies or those aspiring to beco Trainers."
"I believe this Pokémon Trading Card Ga will be their first step on the path to becoming Trainers," Natsu said with a smile.
Oleana stared at Natsu, her eyes burning with enthusiasm, and murmured, "Letting more people experience the charm of Pokémon... That's the mission of the Pokémon Company..."
Natsu snapped his fingers. "Exactly!"
For children, learning type advantages is the first step to becoming a Trainer.
But compared to dry morization, learning through a card ga makes it easier to rember.
And in the tabletop ga domain, Natsu knew of at least three gaplay styles that could be adapted: traditional PTCG, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Hearthstone, Gwent...
A tabletop ga could be turned into an ani or sold as toys—double the fun!
"I've already called Mina to start working on the illustrations."
Natsu added, "Once the illustrations are done, please print a sample so I can get Professor Samuel Oak involved."
If Professor Samuel Oak wasn't interested, Natsu could always reach out to Professor Rowan.
Or even Bill, if necessary.
In short, Natsu needed an authority figure to endorse the "Pokémon Trading Card Ga (PTCG)."
After all, a ga that "makes kids happy and parents at ease"
Could create a sensation in any era.
Oleana hesitated. "But... won't the workload be too heavy? And we don't have a professional Pokédex or anything..."
"Start with Kanto's 149 Pokédex entries. We can release expansion packs later."
Natsu waved his hand dismissively. "If you have any questions, just ask . I've morized all 149 Kanto Pokédex entries!"
Oleana's eyes widened in disbelief.
After a mont, she puffed out her cheeks. "I co from a research background too. I can handle this much information!"
While the PTCG gaplay was sowhat complex, Natsu had managed to adapt it fairly well.
Similar to the Yu-Gi-Oh! system, both players would summon a basic Pokémon and use moves to knock out the opponent's Pokémon.
However, players couldn't attack each other directly.
Instead, the goal was to defeat six of the opponent's Pokémon and collect six prize cards.
So kids might ask, "Natsu-sensei, if we can have real battles, who would play your tabletop ga?"
It's like asking, "If we can play real basketball, who would play NBA 2K?"
In any case, Natsu-sensei had high hopes for the "Pokémon Trading Card Ga."
Moreover, with so many top-tier Trainers in the group chat,
If they could get Red to promote it...
There was no doubt this card ga had the potential to beco a massive hit!
Natsu imagined a future where Gym battles involved both sides pulling out a deck of cards...
"Truly... playing cards is so much fun!" Natsu chuckled happily.
...
After finalizing the new project, Natsu-sensei, accompanied by Gengar, headed to the arena for the draw.
The Top 16 matches of the Tokaido League were about to begin.
