Pokemon Conquest trailer is colorfully confusing

When the Pokemon franchise announced big news ahead, it's doubtless anyone could've predicted this crossover with Tecmo Koei's Nobunga's Ambition line of strategy RPGs. Feudal Japanese warlords + cute colorful monsters? Sure, why not?

In Pokémon Conquest, players take on the role of a young Warlord who is linked with a Pokémon. Together, they must set out to recruit Warrior allies to strengthen their growing kingdom. Along their journey, players will encounter a variety of Pokémon, as well as Warriors and Warlords inspired by the Japanese feudal era. The game contains nearly 200 Pokémon, including many from the recent Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version games, which have sold more than 4 million copies combined in the United States.

Are you looking forward to trying this game out?
