After a previous Pokémon future games speculation thread in which a few users suggested the series should add more tactical elements to the battle system like positioning and terrain
I thought: "Hmm, I wonder how that would play out?" followed by: "Wait, didn't they already make that game?"
So I decided to check it out.
I don't normally (or have ever) play tactical RPGs, strategy RPGs, whatever you want to call them. But then again, I don't ever play any turn based RPGs in the first place besides the Pokémon series, so it fits.
Now the big problem the game is giving me that is impeding any desire I have to continue it:
From the little I've played (I've conquered the fire and grass places), it feels like any generic strategy tactics RPG with Pokémon sprites slapped in cheaply for more sales.
Only one attack move per monster, the different way stats are handled, the trainer/warrior bond percentage and warrior skills and other stuff with the humans, the out of battle gameplay of managing kingdoms and armies. I just feels like a skin over the existing Koei Nobunaga games, rather than much of a hybrid game or Pokémon game at all.
It's failing to grab me. I can't say I care about the samurai aesthetic and historical figure cameos either. (Also: Some guy says "I hear there's another region far away where they put Pokémon into little balls". Are you seriously telling me this isn't a historical game, but one occurring at the same time period as all the others with their technology?)
What's the GAF consensus on this game, and the concept behind it of a Pokémon tactical RPG?
