[Pokemon Conquest] Gotta recruit and catch em all on Nintendo DS.
An unusual entry in the Pokemon family of video games, Pokemon Conquest offers a new way to play Pokemon in a unique world called Ransei that is filled with adventure. Inspired by the classic Nobunaga's Ambition strategy series, Pokemon Conquest puts players in the role of a young Warlord who is linked with a Pokemon. Together, they must set out to recruit Warrior allies to strengthen their growing kingdom. Along their journey, players will encounter a variety of Pokemon, as well as Warriors and Warlords inspired by the Japanese feudal era. The game contains nearly 200 Pokemon.
As the battlefield unfolds in Pokémon Conquest, players must choose the correct Pokémon type to inflict maximum damage on their opponents. In the turn-based skirmishes, players choose different tactics for intense six-on-six battles, and battle conditions can change on every turn, keeping players on their toes in anticipation of what will happen next.
The player, accompanied by an Eevee, travels throughout the Ransei Region (ランセ地方 Ranse-chihō?) befriending Pokémon and battling Warlords (ブショー Bushō?) and Warlord Leaders (ブショーリーダー Bushō Rīdā?) to conquer the region and unite it as one nation; Warlords and Warlord Leaders can join the player's party, allowing the player access to more Pokémon. The gameplay is turn-based strategy, with different Pokémon being capable of different attacks and means of movement. Warlords also have unique battle-changing powers that boost their Pokémon's powers. The various Warlords and Warlord Leaders are named after figures in Japanese history, with the game's Nobunaga (ノブナガ?) being a take on the real Oda Nobunaga.
Pokemon Swarm Codes:
-After Password option unlocks in game (around 5th Nation), input one of these codes. The following in-game month, a swarm of this pokemon type will appear to battle for purposes of syncing with Warriors/Warlords. You only get one shot at these, so be careful. Also, CODES ARE ONE TIME USE. They will not work again on the same save game.

Totally not worth it to get from GS. They charge $5 more and the codes aren't unique; there's going to be tons of passwords released to unlock moar Pokermans in-game.
""Pokemon Password
Do you have trouble making tough decisions? Like, say, choosing what evolutionary form you want for your starter Eevee? Well, thanks to Pokemon Conquest's password feature, you needn't worry about such things. Input the following (it says above, but I don't have the picture with the code) password [2rz3XFCKmR], and during your next in-game month, a swarm of adorable Eevees will appear somewhere in the Ransei Region. Instead of battling them, use the Link option during the match to befriend as many of them as you can. Behold! Now you can have an entire team comprised of Eevee variants. Just act quickly - the Eevee will be around for only one turn, and the password cannot be used a second time.""

You are 100% right, thank you for mentioning that. I just looked up other retailers and for some reason Gamestop is the only store charging $34.99.

That code is for the game already? Guess you can go in with an evee army.

No idea, really. Can't be all that hard, I would think, although I'm sure it will vary by pokeringman.
Explorers of Sky is another strat game for DS? My favorites so far have been the FF Tactics games, couldn't get into Disgae when I tried one of them for DS.

It's actually a rogue-like but thos certainly fall under strategy for me. Your milage may vary.

It's a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game.
I personally can't wait for this game, even though I'm not the biggest strategy game fan.
Because there is still a huge crowd of luddi-er, holdouts that refuse to buy a 3DS, and they want to maximize the base that they reach(read: sell to) because both systems play DS games.
Ironically it becomes stagnant circle, where some developers are really only sticking to developing for the DS because people won't buy a 3DS without a compelling reason to, which doesn't occur because games continue to primarily come out for the DS.
This is pretty simple, and feels like it was made for people who haven't played a strategy game before. However, it's not so simple that it's boring - not that I've gotten very far yet. I'll be playing this on the weekend more, and give a better overview of things as I get more in depth with the game.
Is this game out? I checked best buy's website from the above link, and it says the release date is the 25th. I then checked Target, and it says it is out of stock in my area.
Gamestop removed the release date for some reason.
My store doesn't have any but they said they would get them tomorrow.
Mine still says a delivery estimate of the 21st on my Amazon order page, but the product page no longer has a release date and is no longer listed as available, except by way of a third party seller that's already hawking 9 of them for a 25% markup.

Same here. Apparently it's out of stock, and showing a 2 - 4 week shipping time.
Yeah for whatever reason it looks like the game didnt ship out until today to arrive in stores tomorrow. So even though it isn't street dated, no one has it to sell.
So after calling half a dozen stores and visiting others in person, a helpful clerk at Gamestop explained to me that, unlike major titles, Pokemon Conquest does not have a set "street date." Rather, the stores are not supposed to sell it before the 18th... but there is no guarantee they will have it on the 18th. Target said they expected their copies by late Tuesday, while Best Buy said it was going to be the 26th at the earliest. I'm surprised and annoyed, to be honest. I dunno if Nintendo is to blame or not. Maybe they didn't expect high demand for this game. And I guess that'll teach me not to pre-order a copy.
Here is my question..... can I transfer the pokemon I get in this new game to black and white? No point in catching em in a new genre game if they can't be used for standard collecting!
yeah its basically that while there is no street date, Nintendo hasnt bothered to ship the games to the stores early enough for them to release it before the 19th.
Ah well, at least I can pick it AND LEGO Batman 2 up at the same time.
Im just wondering if the preorder bonus code is a piece of DLC through the shop, or what.

This game doesn't connect to the other Pokemon games at all. It's completely different. And basically unrelated, storyline-wise.
The extra Pokemon are on the Rewards site right now. Two sets, one looks like the set you're supposed to get if you pre-ordered, so that's nice in case you missed out and pick up the game later.

It's good. Somewhat simple (don't expect FFT), but still good.
Also, I haven't purchased a 3DS because the 3ED effect makes me motion-sick and gives me a headache. I sometimes have problems with 3D movies too.
Also, I am totally gonna have an eeveelutions team.
It's a basic tactics type game with some pokemon elements. There are some troop and land management elements too.
