great .
capcom and others , ds is not dead yet please translate your games..............

 

[Apdiddy]

I don't really like the title of the game, but if this gets a younger Pokemon fan started on the good path towards Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre or Advanced Wars, then that's a win to me.

 

[chickdigger802]

Now to wait for an EU release date.


No.

awww...

"Shane" and "Morgan"!

T___T

 

[saichi]

what a nice surprise!

 

[Hawkian]

Could anybody summarize what this game actually is in a clearer way than the press release? I take it it's an RPG. No pokeballs?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Ah this is good news.

Are these how the sprites actually look? If so, I can't wait for Gen 6 to come out on the 3DS. We can't move away from the pixelated Gen 4 + 5 sprites fast enough.

Hell no.

Think Final Fantasy tactics with Samurai Warriors using Pokemon to fight their battles for them. It's going to be amazing.

 

[Busaiku]

I did not expect this.
NOW GIVE US FIRE EMBLEM

 

[Lumination]

From what little I've seen, it looks a little lackluster in the gameplay department. However, I'm all for introducing kids to the SRPG genre!

 

[Sponge]

Sweet! I was hoping this would hit the states, I'll be picking this baby up.

 

[Exterminieren]

I was not expecting this.

Like, at all.

Do I import White 2, or buy this? Decisions...

Buy this, White 2 will hit the states eventually.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Xenoblade.... and now this? I hope this means a different attitude from NA to these niche games, even if the fact that it has POKEMON in the title means it will sell.

 

[Hasemo]

Well, that was unexpected. I thought this will stay in Japan. Either way, good news for English-speaking Pokemon fans, I guess.

 

[Wiseblade]

I WAS RIGHT TO BELIEVE

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I don't think I've ever actually seen gameplay of this.

 

[CSX]

Consider me shocked. very very shocked

 

[zroid]

Consider me shocked. very very shocked

[Drkirby]

Only 200 pokemon? Where are the other 51!

 

[Alias Greed]

How is this unexpected ? Has there been a Pokemon Game that hasn't been released in the west ? (serious question).

Can't wait to pic this up, as I love these types of games.

 

[scy]

I think my DS can hold itself together for one more game.

Awesome.

 

[ultron87]

Awesome!

Pokemon Conquest is a title that is way too non-niche for what this game seems like. But I suppose that isn't a bad thing. I just imagine there will be some kids that are super confused when they get this.

There was the three Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games for WiiWare, those didn't get a Western release. Not sure why.

 

[thetrin]

I do hope they go the whole 90's anime route and 'Westernize' all the names into 'hip american' names.

That would be a great way to get me to avoid the game completely.

 

[BassForever]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! I'm so excited for this! I've been wanting a Pokemon SRPG since I played the original Red and Blue, this is the best news of the day!

 

[YuriLowell]

Now bring Fire Emblem.

 

[Hellsing321]

Awesome!

I don't really see how this game will be any more niche than the Pokemon Roguelikes which have been released here and sold well.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Glad to see they're keeping the Japanese names in-tact. I wonder if the game will attempt to explain the historical significance of Nobunaga, or just pretend these are completely fictional Japanese samurai's. Either way, still pump.

Pokemon + Samurai is every little kid's wet dream.

 

[MidnightScott]

Fuck yes!!!! Thank you Nintendo

Your avatar is perfect.

I think I changed my mind about importing Black 2...they both come out in June. (with a slew of other games...)

 

[GSR]

Very cool - I gave the Japanese version a whirl but didn't get particularly far in it. I'll probably dig into the English version a bit more, though.

 

[Rarutos]

So glad to see this game coming over in English. <3

 

[The Mana Legend]

I can't think of a weirder crossover.

 

[Zhengi]

This is an amazing idea. I really am looking forward to this game

 

[backlot]

Fuck yes! This is great news!

 

[Father_Brain]

That's a surprisingly short window between the US and Japanese releases.

 

[MicH]

Really looking forward to this. Hopefully it launches in Europe as well.

 

[horsebird]

I kind of want this just because of the nice sprites.

On a side note, the feudal lords are basically cartoon forms of their Samurai Warriors counterparts, costumes and all. Wonder if that's a coincidence.

 

[Seda]

NoA's going to bring this over but not Fire Emblem?

Surely they must be saving the FE announcement for E3 or something right?

 

[TreIII]

Loved this game, I'll definitely double-dip and support the localization!

 

[Brazil]

Day one.

 

[PumpkinPie]

Ohhhhhhh fucking yes!

 

[ffdgh]

Oh wow....Go NoA for once

 

[Wyndstryker]

I can't think of a weirder crossover.

I'd rather see it as the historical past of the pokemon world lol.

 

[MasterShotgun]

Well that was unexpected. I'll have to get this at some point.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Well, despite what kind of game it it, the Pokemon name alone will sell copies. That isn't necessarily the case with Fire Emblem here.

 

[R_thanatos]

Pokemon power .
There is no other explanation possible

 

[Brazil]

They are bringing over Fire Emblem, dude. The game has freaking DLCs.

You guys need to stop all the NoA-related negativity. It's becoming depressing.

 

[entremet]

Didn't expect that! Good news!

Well this is surprising. Seriously, I never thought they'd bring it over here.

Really, the Pokemon brand is still killer here.

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

Didn't expect this. It looks fun and the sprites are great, I may give it a try when it comes out.

There was the three Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games for WiiWare, those didn't get a Western release. Not sure why.

Yeah, I wanted those MD games... there was also a Trading Card game for GBC that wasn't localized.

And a recent Typing game for the DS, but that makes sense since the whole game was based around learning to teach Japanese kids how to write the names of the Pokemon in romanji.
