So I enter a password and the next month is the only time I have to catch that pokeringman? I read some comment that said it actually makes the critter start showing randomly as well.
Is it true that once you use the code it's gone forever. Unless you clear your save?
Can you screw yourself out of pokemon after using the codes as well?
Using a code causes a swam of that pokemon immediately in the next month, but it also allows swarms of that pokemon to happen randomly from that point on, apparently.
That Nobunaga fight is a huge bitch if you dont have any ice moves.
Aya's Froslass didn't do that much work, IIRC. Dragonair and Excadrill did some heavy lifting, and I went with Galvantula over Eevee to cut down on electric damage.
how many months/years does it take to level locations?
does number of dudes in that area effect it?
I don't think you can upgrade locations in the main story, as there are no banks. Yes, that makes the "develop" delegation a little stupid (although they'll still mine gold if available). I haven't managed it yet in any of the postgame missions, either, but I've invested in a few since I have no other use for my cash.
In order to increase a location's level, you need to invest about 4,000+ gold into it. That's the least you will ever need.
And that's only one location within a country.
The amount that the 2,000 gold (or however much you put into it) will raise the rank of the location by is based upon all of the participating warlords WISDOM level. Higher WIS is better.
If you only use one character with a high WIS, you will likely get 10-20% of the bar filled. If you use six people with decent WIS, you'll probably get about 80-90% of the bar filled. If you have some high and mid WIS scores, the 2,000 gold will likely gain you one level.
The most I've ever gotten off of one trip to the Bank is one and a half levels. This was with at least two people at 90+ Wis and a few others in the 60-70 range.
You need to upgrade locations in order to find better pokemon or get better items.
Upgrading the first pokemon area in a country will gain you access t its second area.
Upgrading all of the places in a country to level 2 will gain you a final "shop". There are a variety of things that you can get here, some of which are unique to a country. Not all of them are worthwhile though. I'll make a post when I have my game with me with the ones I know of.
I know for sure that Fontaine as a River of Gold, which works like a mine.
Another thing, upgrade one of your mines to level 3 as soon as you can. Then, grab all your guys with high Power and set them to work. Give one of them the Lucky Coin (it doesn't stack) and you'll get some extra gold. You can routinely get about 6,000 Gold this way. Although, there are random events at the mine that can increase or decrease this.
If the guy asks you to use the Gloves, decline him. It seems to always fail.
If the guy asks you to use a Shovel, then accept. It should increase the amount by x2. (I have yet to fail with this).
If the guy asks you to use a Hammer, then accept. It should increase the amount by x3 or x4. (I have yet to fail this either).
At the River of Gold, I have had a guy to ask me to use a Sieve. This gave me x2, but I've only gotten it once.

Anyone know if random swarms are confirmed?
Still not totally sure about this, but you can still pretty much catch any pokemon in the game even without passwords. The passwords just give you a guaranteed shot at them right then and there.

Dammit, Seribii says specifically if you don't use the passwords the pokemon will NEVER show up in your game but ... Seribii.

Near as I can tell, every single password pokemon can also show up as a rare pokemon.
Sometimes, at the beginning of your turn, an NPC will tell you about a rare pokemon being spotted in X kingdom.
It's how my main dude had like four Eevees by the end of the Legend of Ransei story.
Does Marching take up your month? Sometimes it seems to and others it doesn't.

I've never seen marching take up a month
Often I have warlords running around from castle to castle trying to link with specific pokemon as they show up, which basically wouldn't even be possible if marching took that time up
Last night, I spent about an hour trading around all of my guys so they are at the right spot to get their perfect link pokemon. I have every nation (except Dragnor) full up with 6 people at this point.
Probably 1/3 to 1/2 of them have perfect links now.

I've had pretty much the opposite experience. I don't think I've ever failed with Gloves, while Hammer has failed quite a bit and Shovel in between the other two. That makes more sense to me since that would mean the risk increases the bigger the potential payout is (gloves give about x1.5). I think the success rate of using the tools might have to do with the power of the warriors you're using but I'm not completely sure about that yet.

Huh, weird. I've only used gloves twice, but they failed both times.
On the other hand, I've never failed with the other two, and I've done shovel about 50 times now. Hammer only about 10.

I don't think it's completely random, I think you're less likely to fail if your miners have a solid overall strength score. At least, that seems to be how it works for me.

I would love a 3DS sequel to this exactly like Devil Survivor: Overclocked, where each unit is actually a summoner (trainer) and two demons (pokemon). Also the full voice acting.

Just tooling around in Oichi's chapter now, specifically not ending it so I can farm Link % with Aya, Nene, Kunoichi, and Ginchiyo to transform all of them. Also Ranmaru but that's just to evolve his Riolu, since he can't transform in this chapter.

GettiYeah, going through the trio of kids stories, I was able to kill Scizor with Kiyomasa's Larvitar, but Masanori literally cannot even hurt him with his Skorupi.
I had to eventually lure him into taking Greenleaf so I could beat him without killing his Scizor.
Alt strategy involves starting up the Mitsunari or Kiyomasa stories again, and capturing Masanori's starting generals, then taking Ignis and giving them Fire pokemon to make Masanori's story easier.
Although that does make for some amusing diversions in the Dark warlord's story. "Use only dark, ghost, and poison pokemon (oh, and dragons too because why not) -- like a real ninja!"
Yeah... except for all of the people I linked with in the Ransei story that have stuff like, say, Rhydon.
Also, has anyone taken a good look at the map of Ransei?
I'm amazed that I didn't figure out that it looked exactly like Arceus until well after I finished the main story.
I might have screwed myself by taking all my time away to upgrade Yaksha to get this motherfucker a Zorua so I can get him to transform. Kunoichi has already taken out the other two warlords, and all I have is Yaksha and Viperia. I might be in trouble here.
I can't really be bothered to grind anything for evolutions or transformations so far. It really is a nuisance since the only serious way to build link is by battling for kingdoms. I just achieve my goal and move on.
