''Pokémon Conquest'' was the second collaboration between Nintendo and Tecmo Koei, with the first being the Murasame Castle mode in ''Samurai Warriors 3''.  Because [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]] was a fan of ''Nobunaga's Ambition'' and Tecmo-Koei president Kou Shibasawa was a fan of ''Pokémon'', this presented an opportunity to work with each other.  Among one of the key design elements of [[Ransei]] was the fact that the first ''Nobunaga's Ambition'' game featured 17 regions, just as there were 17 different Pokémon types at the time.  Among Koei's game franchises, this is the first collaboration effort for ''Nobunaga's Ambition''; all previous collaborations had been through the ''Warriors'' series (though a true Nintendo-themed ''Warriors'' game would not arrive until ''{{zw|Hyrule Warriors}}'' years later).  In deference to this, character designs for ''Pokémon Conquest'' were primarily taken from ''Samurai Warriors 3'' as opposed to a ''Nobunaga's Ambition'' game.
