>>24136
I am as well.

>>24137
If it's Pokemon, there's no reason they wouldn't.

>>24139
Well, Nobunaga's Ambition has a history of no foreign release and it's a DS game coming out a year after the 3DS did, but you're right that almost all Pokemon games that were actual games have come out.

I just can't figure out what this is going to be like.

So, this is some kind of Pokemon RTS?

>>24144
Looks more like a TBS.

Trailer's up:
Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition…

>>24144
Judging by the screenshots, it's still turn-based, but with multiple units moving around on a grid, like Final Fantasy Tactics.

>>24146
Considering just how dead the genre is over here, I'm amazed Japan still makes turn-based strategy games.

I'm just here to say, I am amazed by this. That is all.

MOTHER OF GOD I WANT.

It's so close to what I've always wanted (Final Fantasy Tactics Pokemon) that I'm actually apprehensive of it turning out to be bad.

>>24136
>>Mewtwo, what are you doing in feudal japan?

>>24152
Feuding.

>>24152
What you didn't know that Feudal Japan was capable of Genetic engineering?

Well, if I was a ninja(?) feuding in fuedal japan, I would certainly use my ninja(?) magic to make loyal super-monsters. Hypothetically, of course.

But Pokemon isn't set in Japan...

Heh, swindel...
So does this take place in the past of the "pkmn-world" or what?

>>24199
>>24201
It's probably it's own continuity.

I really like the idea of this (especially because feudal Japan) but at the same time I'm afraid it's going to be shitty.

>>24203
It is DEFINITELY its own continuity.

>>24204
As long as the TBS gameplay holds up, it should be fine. Pokemon's not known for having TERRIBLE spinoffs.

Finally something new in the world of Pokemon

>>24357
A varied and interesting male cast, and the only female characters are seventeen and wearing short skirts and pink?

Yeah. New.

>>24363
What about the setting, gameplay, story, and the actual personalities of the characters?

>>24363
This is Japan, it's a huge step forward that she's not wearing a ball gag.

Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition…

>>24363
They look to be the same age as the first character in the chart.

Well if any of you remember the Lucario Movie it propably has something to do with the Pokemon Wars with isnt a bad idea for a game but would lack what makes pokemon so great in the first place. Just like in dynasty warrior its proably chose one of three pokemon hero's from a side and the feilds full of different types of pokemon. I cant blame them for trying this since they do have a Gundam dynasty warrior game.

Didn't he have a black companion named Yasuke?
Will he be teamed with a Machamp?

Nobunaga's Dark Rayquaza distro!
Is there something they're not telling us about Nobunaga?
He's always shown in-game with a Zekrom.

Well he seems pretty dragon themed, and also mostly black colored. So, he probably has some more black dragons, like shiny Charizard? These dudes are supposed to be something like not!gym leaders, right?

>>24630
I dunno, but it seems like they evolve when their Pokemon do.

Not a big fan of TBS games, but my curiosity will inspire me to get it.

I'm getting this the moment it's in English.

THIS GAME IS OUT
I AM HIGH ON EXCELLENT

>>25248

Is it... actually good?
I intentionally had low expectations, and I'm still apprehensive despite the generally good-ish scores.

>>25251
Well I'm certainly having a good time. It has its flaws, of course - short on actual plot and character development, like just about any Pokemon game, but then again I haven't finished the game yet. Another gripe is each Pokemon only learning one move. If their only move is ranged and they're stuck on a tiny space up against an opponent, they're useless. Or if your opponent's entire team is immune to your one attack, they're useless.

Obviously they're trying to promote spreading training over your entire army, but I simply don't have the patience for that kind of micromanagement.

But beyond that the gameplay is still enjoyable. What really surprised me is how each battlefield has certain elements your Pokemon can attack for different effects; ring-side bells that boost attack, giant balls that bounce forward and cause damage, or just trees and rocks that can be removed so they don't block your path.

Also I appreciate how much cleavage is in the game despite being owned by Nintendo.

>>25254

Great! I love micromanaging the training of a large group of units who may on occasion become fucking useless at the drop of a hat due to circumstances mostly outside of player control! Not sarcasm.

Can't believe I'm actually going to buy a videogame. For a handheld, no less.

NEW GAME + IS HARD AS BALLS

>>25263
NG+ already?... How long have you been playing?

>>25264
The actual story should only take you a couple of hours to tear through. It seems like the bulk of the game actually takes place in NG+. Odd decision choice, but I can dig it.

>>25263
I KNOW RIGHT!
