Let the Pokémon Conquest Trailers Begin

Strategise open

by James Newton Thu 5th Apr 2012

Yesterday's announcement of Pokémon Conquest — that's the English name for Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition — for North America now brings with it a brace of trailers.

The first is the opening movie you can expect to watch on your DS come 18th June, while the other is an introduction to the gameplay mash-up of grid-based strategy, Japanese feudal warlords and forging links with Pikachu.

Will you be picking this up to tide you over until Pokémon Black & White 2?

I think it looks good but I wait for reviews. Although I probably will end up getting this just because I love pokemon.

@JayceJa: None of your favorites? What about Magikarp?

I'm definitely getting this. I like these kind of games. And I think it has a good selection of Pokémon. It includes some of my favorites like Quagsire, Bisharp, Chandelure, Gardevoir and Charizard. Unfortunately there's no Typhlosion which is my absolute favorite Pokémon.

WHY DO TRAINERS ALWAYS LOOK LIKE THEIR POKEMON!!!! It bothers me so much. Also the fact that Mewtwo is there, other than that it looks like it could be fun.

I think I need this game. It looks awesome. Glad to see Pokemon continuing to break away and do non-typical games I imagine this may be a hard sell in NA, but glad to see its still coming here.

Cool. Might hold me over until Black/White 2 comes out. I would have never though they would bring this to the good ol' US though...A surprise, really.
