When I try to create an android game the following error appears.

* Where:
Build file 'W:\com.company.game\build.gradle' line: 63

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':com.company.game'.
> Could not find method implementation() for arguments [com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:17.2.1] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

Upgrade your Android Studio / gradle versions, or maybe try replace "implementation" in the gradle injections with "compile".
I'd recommend upgrading Android Studio with a clean install.

If everything is fresh and this still happens I don't know; you might want to contact YYG help desk instead.
