Eminem was in his room and used the Pokédex to make a video call to Songzao Town.
"Is this the Pokémon Center? Ah, it's Dr. Oak's research institute... I heard grandma mention it before... did you eat on time at night?"
"Qingmei, why are you talking so much to that brat? Today is March 10th. By this time next year, if he has not collected eight badges, he will basically be able to recognize the reality and come back to work as a medicine boy!"
Sister Qingmei was concerned about whether Eminem had eaten on time when she was alone outside, but Grandma Rexi still spoke coldly.
Eminem accepts both methods of care.
After the phone call, Eminem released the Bulbasaur he just got in the room again...
Eight badges are the standard for participating in the rookie competition.
In fact, not so many people can get it in the first year!
Generally, if you can get eight badges before the age of twenty-five, you are considered to have the initial talent to be a "professional trainer".
However, although there are not no examples of late bloomers, but... generally speaking, if you don't have the strength to win eight badges at the age of twenty-five, you must consider changing your career.
For Eminem, of course, we must also refer to his talent as a pharmacist - he reached expert level at the age of eighteen.
As a trainer, if you can't even participate in the regional rookie competition, what's the difference between you and a waste?
As for the so-called "badge", it refers to a kind of certification obtained after challenging the gym!
Of course, unlike the anime and the game, you don't challenge the gym owner himself to get the badge.
Otherwise, the gym leaders will come here regardless of whether they are busy or not, and select eight gym leaders to compete. This would be too underestimated for the official gym leaders!
Although there are not only eight official gyms, the gym leaders who can obtain official gym qualifications have more than one King-level Pokémon...
In the entire Kanto region, there are not only a thousand but also eight hundred gyms in various places - usually recruiting students to make a profit, and also to promote their own training schools... Many retired trainers open gyms.
However, the number of "official gyms" is always limited to fifty, and each city or town can only have at most one official gym.
These fifty official gyms are eligible to issue badges.
As for the standards for issuing badges, each gym is different, but the same thing is that "the more badges you obtain, the higher the difficulty will be."
For example, if you don't have any badges, and you go to challenge your first gym, they will probably send some beginners from the gym to compete with you, and the first few badges will be issued in a very systematic way.
However, as the difficulty increases, some responsible gym owners may personally test the challenger for the eighth badge - of course, they will definitely not go all out!
In addition to competition registration qualifications, the number of badges is related to many aspects of authority.
There are more than eight at most...
Twenty-four of the fifty official gyms can award up to the tenth badge - only when the tenth badge is challenged, the gym owners will go all out to challenge it, because ten badges are already related to some important things.
Access rights to protected areas.
There are also twenty gyms that have the authority to issue the eleventh badge, and the six most important gyms located in the six major cities have the authority to issue the twelfth badge.
Twelve badges are already the conditions for competing for the four kings of the league, and even the league championship position.
Of course Eminem wants to participate in the Pokémon Rookie Competition, and if nothing else, Eminem wants to participate in both Quartz League competitions within a year!
Of course, Eminem is not sure whether he can win the championship.
He has the ability of "animal tamer", but among the trainers in this world, there are also many talents with various functions, and there is no shortage of geniuses!
Although it is a rookie competition, the threshold for participation is not low. To get the eight badges, you basically need all the main teams to reach the competition level, and you even need one or two elite-level Pokémon. (Note 1)
The number of eighth badges issued by each gym every year is generally only one or two. Gyms with more severe cards may not even give out a single eighth badge for a whole year.
The number of people who participate in the rookie competition with badges is generally around thirty or fifty.
Of course, getting the first badge is still very easy, and usually only two Pokémon are tested...
Especially since Eminem is planning to head north to Joban City - the official gym there is Ground-type, and both of his Pokémon are Grass-type, so there will definitely be no problem in getting the first badge.
Regarding the Bulbasaur he just got, Eminem also decided to "train" it first.
"Tane, Tane~" Bulbasaur still has a good eye for Eminem.
Putting his hand on the top of Bulbasaur's head and rubbing it for a while, Eminem said, "Little Bulbasaur, let me give you a name! Well... how about you call it Agarian?"
"Inside the tower?" Bulbasaur paused.
Seeing that it looked very satisfied, Eminem felt relieved and released his balls: "Ah Garlic, amen, you will all be my main force from now on, so get along well with me!"
Then Eminem started his own "training". He didn't need to go to the training ground. He could just be in the room and there wouldn't be much movement.
I saw Eminem put his hand behind the head of Ah Suan. After a burst of invisible power fluctuations, Ah Suan also closed his eyes. When he opened them again... they already looked very "deep" - at least compared to the simplicity of Pokémon.
In terms of his eyes, they are now considered profound!
Tamer: Able to share senses with Pokémon and have the ability to tap into Pokémon's potential.
Eminem has tried it on Amen before. The so-called "shared senses", when activated to the extreme, will produce an effect similar to "ghost on the body", and the ghost refers to Eminem himself!
At this time, his mastery and understanding of Pokémon's body was like his own body...
Eminem's body remained in a half-kneeling position, stroking Bulbasaur's head, while Bulbasaur, who was "possessed by a ghost", took a few steps back, and then jumped around the room...
Eminem tried it out, and the way Bulbasaur's body moved... it turned out that in terms of attributes, it was still far behind Amen.
After all, using human measurement methods, Eminem's balls are already over 20 levels, while Bulbasaur is only 5 levels - Pokémon only have the concept of evolution, not upgrade. However, for the convenience of human statistics, major alliances
There is a universal measurement method that can be used to measure a "level" for Pokémon.
Even racial values and individual values have a statistical number. (Note 2)
Of course, this is not because Pokémon really has such "data", it is just a statistical method based on human wishful thinking.
Except for the mythical beasts, the settings of racial values are similar to what Eminem knows, and the mythical beasts...
Most of them are unknown, and a very small number of mythical beast cubs that have had a lot of contact with humans and are not very old, such as Latias and Latios in the Water City, are also above 1,200!
At this time, under the Pokémon's senses, Eminem could feel the power gradually accumulating, as if there was an "energy tank" that was constantly being filled. After it was "full", he could use "skills".
Indeed, Pokémon have exactly this mechanism when fighting - after they are ready, they can use powerful skills, and during the preparation process... they also have to use various non-skill normal attacks to fight each other!
Rather than really being like the "turn-based" game, where you just stand around when you're not using your skills, it's more like the battle process in the animation.
The "speed" in the racial value defined by humans is more likely to be the accumulation of this energy tank, or the speed of "skill preparation", rather than the speed of movement!
Although Pokémon with a fast energy accumulation speed generally move very slowly, it is not completely proportional. For example...
Kanto's signature quasi-god Pokémon "Kailosaurus" is said to have the fastest flight speed among non-mythical beasts. There is a king-level dragon that can circle the earth in only 16 hours, breaking the record, but the energy tank accumulation speed is also only 16 hours.
It's just a "relatively fast" level, so Kuailong's speed race value is set at 80. Looking at the race value alone, there's still a big gap between it and "fastest".
After feeling the basic state of Bulbasaur, the most important thing is...
"Has the ability to tap into Pokémon's potential" - In this state, Eminem can tap into the power hidden in Pokémon's genetic genes!
In layman's terms, Eminem can make Pokémon awaken all "inherited" skills...

Note 1: Tournament level refers to Pokémon with an estimated combat power of more than 15,000. In addition, the elite level has 30,000 combat power, the quasi-king level has 50,000 combat power, and the king level has 60,000 combat power - see Note 2 for the specific combat power measurement method.
Note 2: According to the setting of this article, Pokémon itself is not digital, but humans have their own measurement methods, so there are racial values and individual values.
The racial value is the normal racial value of "a Pokémon", which is the number that everyone can see in the game. The individual value is expressed as a fluctuation based on the racial value, expressed in the form of a percentage, such as "+3%"
,"-2%"……
There is also growth value, which is the effort value in the game, also expressed in percentage form.
The difference between individual value and growth value is that the former can be inherited, while the latter is purely acquired through hard work.
Combat strength is "level * race value". On this basis, calculate the percentage increase or decrease of individual value and growth value - for example: the standard growth of a quasi-mythical beast is 600 (race value) * 100 (level) = 60000 (combat power),
That is to say, reaching the King level.
In addition, after level 50, attribute LV, characteristic LV, etc. will be added to calculate the fixed increase in combat power. We will talk about it then.
The settings from "Dimension Forum" are generally used, but there are further precise settings.
