Articles relating to Pokémon Conquest

Pokémon Conquest (Japanese: ポケモン＋ノブナガの野望 Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition) is a spin-off crossover between the Pokémon and Nobunaga's Ambition series of games, a first for the franchise. It was released in Japan on March 17, 2012 and in North America on June 18, 2012.

Following a series of news regarding surprising announcements from both Jump Festa 2011 and the first issue of CoroCoro magazine in 2012, the game was revealed on December 17, 2011, at the Jump Festa event itself, with the official site launching soon after.

The game takes place in a new region called Ransei. Various Pokémon from all five generations appear in this game. The game has Nintendo DSi enhancements.

Gameplay

Pokémon Conquest features a turn-based strategy battle system. Up to six Pokémon on each side are positioned on the battlefield, one for each participating Warlord, and both sides take turns moving and attacking with their Pokémon. A battle is won or lost when one side achieves the victory conditions for the match, for example defeating all the opponent's Pokémon, or capturing all the flags on the field, and so on. When a battle is won, all participating Pokémon gain points to their Link with their respective Warlords. The player can recruit more Warlords, and thus more potential Pokémon to choose from for battle, throughout the game, often through defeating them in battle. There is also a multiplayer wireless mode in which two players may battle each other.

Pokémon in the game can grow in strength by increasing their Link with their Warlord. Depending on how well matched a pair is, the maximum level of the Link between the two varies, with most Warlords only able to achieve a 100% or Best Link with a single species of Pokémon. Aside from growing more powerful, Pokémon may evolve when their Link reaches a high enough percentage, though there are also Pokémon which evolve through other conditions such as the use of specific items. Warlords can also establish links with Pokémon other than the one they started with, though only one can be used by each Warlord in a given battle at a time.

The game makes use of the seventeen Pokémon types and their respective weaknesses, resistances, and immunities. Pokémon also have various Abilities, many the same as in the main series games, as well as some unique new additions. Warlords also have Warlord Skill that can be used once per battle, which have various effects such as powering up or healing Pokémon. Warlords can also equip items, which can provide additional effects such as stat boosts or can be used during battle.

When a battle is won against an enemy kingdom's castle, the player conquers that map and now has access to three options: Train (increase link, though Pokémon cannot be used in battle), Search (recruit more allies), or shops, in which the player can buy items to use on Pokémon. There are also Ponigiri shops. Feeding a Pokémon these will increase its energy, which affects its performance in battle.

Plot

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

Legend has it that the one who will be able to conquer all seventeen kingdoms of Ransei will bring the return of the region's creator.

The player is the new Warlord of the kingdom of Aurora. As Oichi, Mitsunari, Kiyomasa, and Masanori talk about the player and his or her Eevee, two Warriors from the nearby kingdom Ignis challenges the new Warlord to battle. The player manages to defeat them with help from Oichi and her Jigglypuff, who subsequently join the player in conquering the other sixteen kingdoms. After some training, the player makes their move on Ignis. Hideyoshi and his army retreat after defeat, allowing the player to take control of Ignis. The kingdoms of Greenleaf and Fountaine eventually follow, as the player learns from Oichi of Nobunaga's desire to conquer all seventeen kingdoms. The Violight, Chrysalia, and Pugilis kingdoms also come to the player's control, with a chance for the Warlords of the kingdoms joining the player. As Nobunaga comes closer to the south, the player aims to get the kingdoms of Terrera and Illusio on their side. After choosing to challenge either kingdom to battle and winning, Shingen of Terrera and Kenshin of Illusio express their desire to join the player.

Players must now conquer the kingdoms under Nobunaga's rule. These are kingdoms either under Nobunaga's most loyal Warlords or Warlords Nobunaga allowed to remain after conquering their kingdom. After defeating the kingdoms of Cragspur, Yaksha, Viperia, and Avia, as well as Valora, Nixtorm, Spectra, no Warlords or Warriors are capable of joining the player since they report back to Nobunaga. Now with only one kingdom left, the player's army heads for Dragnor to face Nobunaga.
