Pokemon: now helping decide the fates of feudal Japan

Ah, Pokemon. A series that has been standing strong since the mid 90′s. However one thing has yet to happen with the series: other than a few choice Pokemon making it into the Smash Bros series, Pokemon have yet to make it into any crossover games. Well apparently the Pokemon Company agreed that they needed a crossover, and decided to combine Pokemon with a popular strategy game series called Nobunaga’s Ambition. This crossover was released in Japan as Pokemon + Nobunaga’s Ambition, in what I deem the most creative crossover title ever.

Now admittedly the Nobunaga’s Ambition series is much more popular in Japan than it will probably ever be here in the west, but that hasn’t stopped this game from deciding to make the voyage to foreign shores. Under the new name Pokemon Conquest, the game should pop up on the shelves of your game stores on June 18th in the United States. Sadly, no European or Australian release dates have been announced yet, but it will more than likely end up in those areas at a later date.

Pokemon Conquest takes place in the Ransei region and will have players taking the role of various warlords using Pokemon to decide the outcomes of their conquests. Each team gets up to six Pokemon to position on the battlefield and will take turns moving and attacking with their Pokemon until one side meets whatever the victory condition of the map happens to be. Warlords will also form a Link with their Pokemon, which will increase as they clear levels and lead to their Pokemon becoming stronger and even evolving. Each warlord also has a specific species of Pokemon they bond with most, being the only species that can reach 100% Link with that warlord.

The game will be rated E for Everyone when it arrives to the US, will be on the Nintendo DS handheld, and has already received a 34/40 rating from Famitsu praising how easy it is for children and adults to get into the game and for it’s high replay value.
