Haha, so weird.

DarknessTear · Feb 16, 2012

It is weird, and probably the worst idea I've seen in a while.

Krauser Kat · Feb 16, 2012

... a pokemon turnbased tactics games? Yes, fucking please.

Emitan · Feb 16, 2012

Weird how it took them over a decade to make a Pokémon SRPG and they needed to pair it with some other franchise to do it.

Ultimadrago · Feb 16, 2012

Anth0ny · Feb 16, 2012

I'm hyped.

Although it's strange that it isn't coming out on 3DS, I'm happy at the same time. I get to import ^_^

TreIII · Feb 16, 2012

Easily the game I'm most looking to playing next month. I hope NOA won't pass this one up. Or if worse comes to worse, allow Koei themselves to translate it.

Edit:

It was said a while ago that they've been working on this for the better portion of 3 years. Well before 3DS kits were sent out, more than likely.

And this is the only answer.

BassForever · Feb 16, 2012

I will rage so much if this doesn't get a US and/or PAL release. Thankfully the DS isn't region locked so if NoA decides to hate and NoE feels generous importing is an option.

Emitan · Feb 16, 2012

I'll import if it doesn't come out here. But it better come out here!

SmithnCo · Feb 16, 2012

I don't get the hate, it's just Pokemon Tactics with another franchise thrown in for marketing. Looks good.

Kyou · Feb 16, 2012

Omggggg that looks awesome

thank god DS games aren't region locked

disco · Feb 16, 2012

I thought this game has DSi region lock or something?

ultron87 · Feb 16, 2012

Such a good idea. What took them so long?

Octorockin' · Feb 16, 2012

Yeah, I'm hoping this one gets an international release. The unorthodox concept looks really appealing.

Then don't play on a DSi.

This. Pokémon SRPG sounds great. But... set in medieval Japan? Eh...

Well, remember, Koei originally proposed the idea of a "Pokemon Musou" originally. It was Nintendo that actually suggested they utilized the Nobunaga's Ambition brand, setting and make it into a strategy game.

RyanDG · Feb 16, 2012

So - just so I get this right... The Nobunga characters are simply the 'trainers' of the Pokemon and remain off field the entire time aside from providing some additional effects (similar to the COs in Advance Wars)?

This game has me oddly intrigued.

HiddenWings · Feb 16, 2012

I realize the chances of this crossing the Pacific are somewhere between "zero" and "Mother 3", but here's hoping it makes a decent import. Pokemon Black/White wasn't region locked, iirc.

I would totally buy a Pokemon Musou game >.>

dragonlife · Feb 16, 2012

Love it. Want it.

Jinko · Feb 16, 2012

Love Pokemon and Love SRPGs, looks like it will be win/win.

Pretty much. And as the Generals level up, they seemingly "Promote" like Fire Emblem characters (there's scans out there that showcase them getting new outfits and etc.), even as the PKMN themselves level up and evolve as normal.

There also will be DLC episodic content, not unlike how things were handled in games like Pokemon Ranger.

Syril · Feb 16, 2012

A Pokemon strategy RPG sounds pretty amazing. I just hope it comes out here.

invaderzim69 · Feb 16, 2012

its a great idea. i like it. i hope it turns out great. a joint effort between two familar franchises.

AnkiRendan · Feb 16, 2012

Over 200 monsters, huh?

I've already got 4 of my favourites in. All I need are Togepi and Solosis and I will buy this. I've wanted samurai and Pokemon to combine FOREVER. (Even if the samurai don't have swords.)

Nocturnowl · Feb 16, 2012

The bewildering combination only manages to intrigue me further, this is the first time i've been interested in a pokemon spinoff since Snap.

udivision · Feb 16, 2012

I can only think of "Nintendo rejected Pokemon Musou for this" when I see this game.

The devil you know, I guess.

Coppertracks · Feb 16, 2012

If it comes out in English I'll buy it but I've played enough SRPGs in Japanese to last me.

leroidys · Feb 16, 2012

So when's the NA release? ....guys?

MidnightScott · Feb 16, 2012

I expect an announcement at E3 most likely. While it does seem iffy as to whether it will release here, Nintendo isn't afraid to show that they are a Japanese company anymore. I think they would've removed any mentioning of Japan or their culture out of their games if they thought they might be scaring off western fans. Also, Nintendo distributed Samurai Warriors 3 around the world, I think this has a higher chance of coming over.

Let's hope Nintendo is smart about this...it would sell a lot because everyone already has a DS and people with a 3DS can still play it as well.

bon · Feb 16, 2012

GOTY.

Looks awesome for anyone who likes Pokémon and SRPGs. Looks incredible for anyone who likes Pokémon, SRPGs and games with historical Japanese settings!

Also this. This concept alone had me sold.

Yeah, Pokémon is a pretty obscure franchise here...

udivision · Feb 16, 2012

But Nobunaga's pretty big, so it might be a good way to introduce the rest of the world to Pokemon.

GSR · Feb 16, 2012

Looks pretty cool, all things considered. Hopefully the gameplay is deep enough to stay interesting.

I think Billychu was exercising the concept of sarcasm, good sir.

So you're saying Nobunaga is big in the west?

lol

ZombiePlatypus · Feb 16, 2012

This looks like it might be hilarious. If it has a ridiculous, over-the-top story, day 1 purchase for me. (If it ever gets a local release.)

No! I meant the Poke- with the US...and the...popular...and the...Mother and the...D'oooh.

Man God · Feb 16, 2012

You can count the number of Pokémon games that weren't localized on one hand.

Green, Stadium 1, Card Game 2, Typing.

I think this has a decent shot of coming over.

Emitan · Feb 16, 2012

What do you mean Stadium 1? Is the Pokémon Stadium I own not the original Stadium?

TreIII · Feb 16, 2012

Billychu said:

No. That was technically Stadium 2.

You didn't miss much, though.
