Pokemon Conquest

[snorlax44]

What do you guys think of the new Pokémon game coming out? Pokémon Conquest is a game where you'll be a Warlord!

There is a site on Pokémon.com all about it found here: http://www.pokemonconquest.com/en-us

It seems interesting and a change from the normal Pokémon style. DO you think you'll get it?

[bullados]

The moment I get that game, I will squee for about an hour. I've been waiting for a Pokemon strategy RPG for a long time. I just wish this one had more variety in terms of attacks.

[Regis_Neo]

Personally I'm still a touch wary of it, but I'll be buying it regardless. I like Pokemon and tactical RPGs, but both together is a bit odd.

[JewelQuest]

I'm looking forward to it, hopefully it will be a good game.

I am with Regi on this one. I am going to wait a little while before getting it. I would like to check it out from a friend or play it a bit. I am old school for RPG games like Final Fantasy. I have nothing negative to say about the game so far, and I will check it out in due time.

It's closer to a simplified Disgaea or Fire Emblem.

He's probably think of the "YuGiOh Duelist of the Roses" game

I've been playing the Japanese version of them game and I'll say its ok at best. It was a good attempt at this style of RPG but it has some main issues.

One of them is that the Pokemon on can do 1 attack. You can really setup in a way like you could in the FFT games. Another one is the lack of Pokemon. Articuno is in the game but not Zapdos or Moltres and I have a problem with that. A lot of my favorites are not in the game so when I found that out, I stopped playing.

Can't tell you much about the story. It's just you stopping warlords from taking over the world with Pokemon.

Yes. I evolved my Eevee into Vaporeon and a friend of mine evolved his into Glaceon. The problem was I did not know I had a water stone or even knew I obtained one.

If there are no stones in the game that you can obtain, I assume that Eseon and Umbreon are the most likely to happen if the game implements evolution in the mechanics for game play and traditional friendship evolution claus.

Awesome at the fact that you start with Eevee, one of my favorite Pokemon(if not my favorite). Not so awesome at the fact that you may have no influence on how it evolves. :/

Actually I think serebii had linked the different ways to get Eevee or something like that...I believe it is controllable.

Either that or I'll be doing my hardest to influence mine to turn into an Espeon.

^Here is the link that list's the Pokemon in the game from Serebii: http://www.serebii.net/conquest/pokemon.shtml

It gives details on the Pokemon in the game, and if anyone wants to dig around a little more they can click on what they want to gain more info on the Pokemon.

I hate this game... there is no salamence or porygonz???? Sux I thought it might be good but I'm rethinking it... Bu t it is the only time I've seen Ekans look cool.

[PMysterious]

The thing I love about Pokemon Conquest is that I can always go... JIGGLYPUFF AWESOMENESS TIME!!! Get what I'm sayin'?

[vaporeon]

I don't think Pokemon was allowed to do any of the art for the game. None of the designs look like it belongs to them.

The one thing I hate seeing in Pokemon game is the fact that they don't put all of them in. It's really annoying when they do that.

[bullados]

BTW, that art is incredible. I'm hoping there's a booklet that comes with the game for all that good stuff...

[Benzo]

^I agree on the art work. It adds a more mature touch to the game. I would love to see this artwork switch over to the future Pokémon games. This type of artwork adds that "serious" hint to it while touching lightly to the mature side of the style the game is presented by way of the theme.

[bullados]

That's not really what I'm talking about. I'm kinda bored with the Sugimori art right now. The art for Conquest is amazing compared to how stale Sugimori has become. Like a breath of fresh air. I hope some of that gets put on TCGs...

'Tis is true. The last cool Sugimori card was that really cool Porygon.

[Benzo]

Sorry about that Bullados. I did not research the artist, I am not all that familiar in the “artist's” info for this sort of subject. I dig the artwork for the game is all.

[vaporeon]

I feel the same way. I don't use Sugimori art as nothing more the concept art. it's good to use as a reference but should almost never be used in published media.

I feel the use of his art on the cards make adds a sense of 'lazyness' to the production value. As an artist myself, I use the cards as a tool to make myself better as a artist. I look at how they draw, the styles used and how they use color and lighting (which is a big deal for me). When I see Sugimori's art on the cards, I see nothing more then stock art and a photo of a photoshop background. It's just lazy to me.

It's fine in a Pokemon guide book or other pokemon related stuff but when you have other artist working on art for the card, using Sugimori's art should not be a option.
