Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition announced for DS

[YayMii]

I'M SO CONFUSED.

For anybody who doesn't know, Nobunaga's Ambition is a game based on real history, where you play as a daimyo in the 1500's trying to conquer Feudal Japan. And from what I've seen, it's kinda like Risk, but with RPG elements. And the newer games play in real-time.

But honestly, WHAT THE FUCK? Are they taking just the gameplay elements, or is it going to be a "What if Pokémon were used to conquer Japan" type of thing?

They're going to mix the gameplay style of Nobunaga's Ambition and some of its characters with elements of the Pokemon world - obviously it's not going to be based on history whatsoever.

Conscider this as "Pokemon: A few centuries back", aka, "Pokemon Trainers in Feudal Kanto" for example.

That would make sense, if Mewtwo wasn't there.

 

[Souldragon]

Question become, why the ds and not the 3ds.. if anything this would be a great game for the 3ds.

 

[Foxi4]

That would make sense, if Mewtwo wasn't there.

It's a cross-over game, obviously it's not going to follow either continuity in 100%. Also, "rule" would only reffer to man-made Pokemon, that being Mewtwo, Porygon, Porygon2, Porygon-Z and Deoxys, I believe.

It's just an example anyways, we'll know more of the plot next month.

Along with all of the newer Pokemon*. That being said, shouldn't Mew be there instead of Mewtwo? Not only that, but the stories with every single Pokemon game seems to add another "THERE WERE TWO POKEMON IN THE BEGINNING...THEN MORE POKEMON AFTER EPIC LEGENDARY BATTLES!" so...I guess time line doesn't really matter.

*If it takes place in Feudal Kanto. If there are various reasons then that is ok I suppose...

 

[Valwin]

1 t is this the poekmon anouncment ?

Either way, could be interesting

Yes.

2 is this a spin off

Yes, a cross-over game.

3 a pkm game set up in feudal time s ?

Yes.

4 . i am for once welcome the change

True dat, for once it's an interesting spin-off, not some puzzle game.

 

[Nebz]

I honestly just figured that it's going to be one of those two worlds, different dimensions collide and yada yada type of thing.

CoroCoro is going to reveal more details about this game, meaning the plot, more screenshots (maybe?) etc. Right now we only have 4 screens and a vague idea about what this could be.

 

[KingVamp]

Either a pokemon hack and slash or a pokemon game with dynasty warriors characters.

 

[Kioku]

Huh.. Definitely not expected. Wow. Ummm...

 

[Skelletonike]

It's not Dinasty Warriors...
Dinasty Warriors = China
Samurai Warriors = Japan

Oda Nobunaga is from Japan and I can see Oichi there.

Just to let you know, there are actually a bit more screens and pics on Serebii.

 

[Foxi4]

I'm not particularily "into" Pokemon since the original Silver and Gold, so I wouldn't know.

Thanks for the Info.

 

[Sheimi]

What is this? If this is the big announcement, I'm gonna rage.

 

[Taellon]

If this gets localized, it could be the game to get me into SRPG's. I've never been able to get into any SRPG's before, and I've tried virtually all the popular ones released on DS, they just never seem to grab me and I get bored shortly after finishing the tutorials. I love Pokemon though and I was actually thinking recently that making Pokemon an SRPG would be a great direction for the series to explore, and now it looks like it is actually happening. I hope it turns out the way I had imagined, basically keeping the regular battle system but now you move your pokemon around an arena each turn as well as attacking or buffing/debuffing stats. It's a simple enough concept and I'm definitely looking forward to this game despite not being an SRPG fan.
