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.

    I'm not crazy about strategy games, but I'm keeping an eye on this one because of it's uniqueness.

    Store / In-Store Pickup Customers: Code will be printed on your receipt at time of pickup. PowerUp Rewards Card must be scanned at checkout.

    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.""

    No idea, really. Can't be all that hard, I would think, although I'm sure it will vary by pokeringman.

    Can't figure out why this isn't a 3DS game

    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.

    It's good. Somewhat simple (don't expect FFT), but still good.

  • MonkeyConQuesoMonkeyConQueso Registered User regular
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
