The QUEST for Shiny Mew (and why China got the better game)

I read this comment in your voice

It’s really interesting to see the Chinese versions of games, it’s like looking into an alternate reality. Though looking more into the Chinese version of Minecraft, it seems that Apocalypse Mode is actually from a mod that had a trailer made for it so English-speaking people thought it was official. From what I’ve seen it seems to be mostly similar to our Minecraft except free to play stuff.

[@CannedWolfMeat]

Interesting, I saw a lot of different places saying it was a legit feature of Minecraft China so I guess that's on me for not doing better research. I did also read up on a few of the other features like a marketplace for texture packs/game patches, and having ads you could watch for Diamonds/Emeralds (which I assume is like minecoins or some kind of premium currency and not actual in-game items), but I didn't want to dwell too long on it as a passing example.

[@AnUsername]

@@CannedWolfMeat Can’t really blame you for not doing a ton of research on a passing mention, lol. I assume people just saw the pretty well made trailer for it, assumed it was official since they couldn’t understand it, and the idea that Minecraft in China has an exclusive dimension with it’s own bosses passes around far better than the fact than it just being a mod. TheMisterEpic has a video that seems to be a pretty good breakdown of it.

[@jaxsomon3333]

I agree! One of my favorite games, Terraria, has almost all of its bosses completely redesigned to get passed censors. Some of them actually look very cool, and I wish I could change them to the default...

[@kSazu.]

@@CannedWolfMeat I'm a bit late for this but hey, might aswell. The marketplace you've mentioned is a microsoft feature itself, meaning it's worldwide, where you can sell maps, skins, texture packs, etc exclusively for minecraft bedrock. As someone who has published work on the minecraft marketplace, it's a money trap for both the consumer and the seller while microsoft enjoys taking their huge cut from each sale (up to 60% cut).

[@SquishGD]

5:22 as a teenager who has lived in china for 5 years, having to submit your id and face scan is in part due to chinese kids playing too much, so they passed a law for the “实名认证” system that basically checks if you are 18+ or not. iirc the rule for non 18+ people is that you can play for one hour on friday evening and on holidays. THATS IT. many people bypassed it by simply asking parents to do the submission, or just side loading a game available internationally via a vpn or knowing where to look. also the government is probably using the data for more but whatever

[@visual_chris]

Still don’t understand how this game was dropped so quickly. There’s so much potential here.

[@Aaron-hv4hr]

I used to play back in the day and had like 3 shinies of which my first one was a magnemite, and I just couldn’t get the accounts back so when I started a new one a couple of months ago I was expecting at least one… still waiting

Been aware of the Chinese version of Pokémon Quest for quite some time and always been sad we never the expanded version over here, though I understand why it's a shame because I really enjoyed Quest and was hoping they'd do more with it.

Great to see Quest getting some love!! It was the first Pokémon game for Switch, it deserves it haha hope Pokémon Company see the potential the game has and bring more updates worldwide.. The chinese version looks really cool, loved the special themed Pokémon I'm right now trying to get the shiny starter trio, already got Venusaur and Charizard is next!

[@The_Placid_One]

The reason why I stopped playing was because of the feel of the lack of content that the Chinese version fixes

[@jayv9070]

"Do you remember Pokémon Quest?" Me, who still regularly plays it: "..."

[@PotatoHunts]

Just a heads up, Pokémon from gold pots have a 300 stat boost, whereas Pokémon from the basic pot have no bonus. So using a Pokémon from a gold pot will make the dungeons way easier

[@Charlie-hv3dh]

An unfortunate but fortunate at the same time of chinese versions of games is they will have some really cool stuff, however there is the issue of just that- can't help but feel sad about that. I enjoyed this video, might just get back into quest as I only got an hour or two into it the first time I played it.

[@Charlie-hv3dh]

Also can't help but feel weird/wild for the fact that is, those chinese video game companies are not only so big IN china, but they're invested/ own/apart/big investors in other companies and once you realize that you just see it everywhere you go lol

[@brudaberguz]

I would absolutely love Quest to be updated again to add more pokemon, or at least for the art style to be reused in a new game (on the switch 2 perhaps?). It sucks that the potential for what this game could’ve become is locked behind a firewall and that Nintendo shelved it entirely so soon after releasing it, because even though gameplay-wise it’s very lacklustre, being an auto battler and all, it was still super fun to hop on for half an hour or so and play out a few runs in the hopes of finding a shiny or rare pokemon from a dish.

[@Ninjacat429]

Wow, that's really super amazing! Those odds sound so painfully painstaking. 4.6% of finding a normal Mew, let alone a shiny one sounds like it would be impossible. But, destiny can make anything possible and that's why it's so exciting and absolutely awesome that you got this shiny mew. Congrats to you! I'm hoping one day once I get to the final level of the game, I can finally spam the level for the ingredients to make that Legendary La Ambrosia so I can finally hunt for my very own shiny mew, cause it's something I definitely wanna do someday. Kinda evil of the Chinese government that they would try to take your identity just for the sake of getting a new upgraded version of pokequest. Pfft, over my dead body I'd ever risk it either. But that's how you know how evil the government over there is, they're really strict about what media comes into the country, because like North Korea, everything is controlled by the government, and it's really sad. Won't lie though, I wish we could've gotten these cool updates for Pokequest too. Would've been awesome to shiny hunt johto pokemon in this game.

really hope the devs come back to Pokémon quest one day. (or make a part 2 (most likely never to happen though)) just like the Chinese version, this game has a lot of potential, we don't need online or avatars or special events, the only thing this game really needs is just more Pokémon's and areas (the ost in this game is such a bop in the amount of areas) .
