Pokemon Conquest Message Board older than one year ago

#e32012 You might be wondering what Tecmo Koei's got up its corporate sleeves after Ninja Gaiden 3 chopped its way release earlier this year. Well, it's a good thing that E3's right around the corner so that we can find out. The folks who put out lots and lots of Dynasty Warriors games have put the word out on what they'll be showing. It's, uh, mostly Dead or Alive 5, with that Pokemon Conquest game and RPG title Mugen Souls. And as always, keep in mind that this is just what they're telling us now. There might be some surprises come next week. More »

A portion of a Nintendo-Gamer review...

Strategy fans might enjoy the post-game content, although getting there could prove tedious. But for genre novices and serious Poké-fans it’s basic, but surprisingly addictive, and you know what? It really does make feudal Japan more interesting. Take that, history teachers.

I was more than a little excited when I was tasked with tackling a preview for Tecmo Koei and Nintendo's crossover DS title Pokemon Conquest last week.

Conquest crosses the worlds of cute indentured monster servants from Pokemon with Nobunaga's Ambition, a series of Koei strategy games revolving around the bloody unification of feudal Japan by Oda Nobunaga. But Pokemon Conquest, which released in Japan last month as Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition, takes itself so seriously as a strategy role-playing game that it isn't the irreverent experience I made it out to be in my mind.

- In the land of Ransei, there exists a legend that if any warlord is able to conquer all of the land's 17 kingdoms, then the Pokemon that created Ransei will reveal itself
- this is a myth that many people cannot distinguish as true or false, but drives many to fight on
- play as a male or female
- the young lady is from the kingdom of Aurora
- she's a talented warrior who shares a remarkably close bond with her companion Pokemon, Eevee
- each of the 17 kingdoms has a warlord from the Nobunaga series to overthrow
- there are also several training grounds to hone your skills
- each region has different Pokemon and warriors to befriend
- forming and strengthening links with Pokemon increases the effectiveness of your army
- this allows you to better protect your castle from attack and ups your chances of conquering all the kingdoms
- features nearly 200 Pokemon spanning all five Pokemon generations
- includes a Pokedex of sorts (called the Gallery)
- this is where you can see stats, descriptions and more
- battles make you place your warriors and Pokemon on the field
- this involves strategically moving, attacking, and using special abilities
- how you use your units in battle affects how they grow
- battle involves range of movement, the time system, melee vs ranged moves, type compatibility and so o

You pay 40 Euros and get a game for an old handheld which comes with an enormous range of things to do and which can be played for over 100 hours, if you get a hang at the way of playing it. The graphics are really nice, every single one of the 200 Pokémon is picked very carefully from the available ones (I really LOVE the final Boss-Pokémon!). The soundtrack fits the game perfectly.

Game Overview In the Pokémon™ Conquest game, you take on the role of a young Warlord who is linked with a Pokémon. Together with your Pokémon, you must set out to recruit Warrior allies to strengthen your growing kingdom. Along your journey, you will encounter a variety of Pokémon, as well as Warriors and Warlords inspired by the Japanese feudal era which fans of the famous Nobunaga’s Ambition series of games will recognize. The game contains nearly 200 Pokémon, including many from the Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version games, which have sold more than 4 million copies combined in the U.S.

As the battlefield unfolds in Pokémon Conquest, you must choose the correct Pokémon type to inflict maximum damage on your opponent. The turn-based skirmishes, allow you to choose different tactics for intense 6-on-6 battles, and battle conditions can change on every turn, keeping you on your toes in anticipation of what will happen next.

Features:
It’s a new way to play Pokémon in a land filled with Warriors and Pokémon and the ties that bind them together.

The main action of the game takes place on the battlefield where Pokémon fight in a turn-based, tactical battle system.

Be a Warlord, and control your Pokémon in battle! As a Warlord, you command other Warriors and their Pokémon in your army.

All Warriors have special abilities they can use to help their Pokémon in battle, but Warriors are there to command the Pokémon on the field of battle. It is their Pokémon that move, fight, attack on the field of battle.

Recruit Warlords and Warriors by defeating them in a unique battle system never seen in a Pokémon game. As you acquire castles, new Pokémon, Warlords, and Warriors become available as well as new ways to train them.

When battles are won, you take control of the new castle, recruit Warriors from that kingdom, and gain access to new Pokémon.

How would you like to be Oda Nobunaga right now? First, you're turned into a cartoon character who plays second fiddle to imaginary forest critters in a video game for children, and then your name is bumped out of the title of said video game in North America.

And on top of that annoyance, you've been dead for 430 years.

For the rest of us who aren't 16th-century warlords, Nintendo released two trailers for Pokémon Conquest, and some new screens.

Yes, that's a factual headline above: Nintendo is publishing the bizarre crossover of Pokemon Plus Nobunaga's Ambition in the US as "Pokemon Conquest" for the Nintendo DS. And yes, you also read that right -- Pokemon Conquest marks the second Pokemon game heading to the DS in 2012 rather than the 3DS (Pokemon Black/White Version 2 being the other).

Unlike main series Pokemon games, Tecmo Koei handled development rather than Game Freak. Conquest is also a 2D adventure set in the world of Ransei, where players inhabit "a young warlord who is linked with a Pokemon." Pokemon Conquest arrives on June 18.

We were doubtful it would ever happen - but it seems the Japanese gaming gods have smiled down on us stateside gamers once more. No, no news on Pandora's Tower - but we did find out today that the Japanese strategy RPG crossover Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition will be coming to the U.S. as Pokemon Conquest...

Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition is headed to Western store shelves as Pokemon Conquest this June. Previously described as "the craziest Pokemon game you've ever seen," Pokemon Conquest is set in feudal Japan. The game is a crossover with Tecmo Koei's Nobunaga's Ambition strategy series and follows...
