Pokemon Conquest

Game Details:

Pokemon Conquest, launched on the Nintendo DS platform in 2012, is an innovative work that perfectly combines the strategic gameplay of the Warring States period with the cultivation and combat of Pokémon. The game is set in the new fictional "Ranse Region", which consists of 17 city-states, each representing 17 Pokémon attributes.

Players will play as "Warring States generals" and lead their generals and their Pokémon companions to conquer other city-states. Each general and Pokémon have a unique "bond" that affects the activation of skills and the degree of synchronization. Combat uses a grid-based strategy system similar to Fire Emblem, where terrain, distance, and attack range must be carefully considered.

Unlike the turn-based combat of traditional Pokémon games, this game emphasizes team coordination and tactical application, with a slow but highly in-depth combat rhythm. In addition to the main storyline of unifying the entire map, there are also a large number of side stories and challenge modes in the game, including the storylines of other generals and hidden events. In addition, the game also introduces simulation elements such as city construction, talent recruitment, and resource management, which greatly enhances the replayability.

Editor's Recommendation:

Pokémon Conquest is a rare bold cross-over work by Nintendo, which breaks the setting framework of traditional Pokémon and incorporates the depth of cultivation of the Warring States strategy, bringing a highly strategic strategy-style combat experience. Compared to previous Pokémon works, it focuses more on tactical deployment and troop configuration, especially suitable for strategy players who like to think and challenge.

The game's art style still maintains the cute style of the Pokémon series, but after integrating the background of the Warring States period and the setting of Japanese generals, it appears to have a more historical sense of depth. Recommended for players who love SRPG (strategy RPG) and Pokémon series, this is a must-see alternative masterpiece.

Game Guide:

To unify the entire Ranse region in Pokémon Conquest, what is needed is not only a strong Pokémon, but also a clear strategy and layout. The following are the process and strategic points for unifying the entire map:

1. Prioritize unifying adjacent weak countries to stabilize the rear

In the early stages, players only have one city-state. It is recommended to conquer the surrounding areas with lower combat power, such as Yaksha, Greenleaf, etc., to increase the speed of resource acquisition and the scope of control.

2. Choose high-end generals and Pokémon partners

Each general has the best bond Pokémon, such as Nobunaga and Houndoom, Female Ninja and Dratini, etc. Unlocking these partners will greatly enhance combat ability. By increasing the bond value, Pokémon can evolve and learn stronger skills.

3. Utilize attribute restraints and terrain advantages

Attribute restraints are still effective in battle, such as using fire-type against grass-type, and flying-type against fighting-type, which can effectively suppress the enemy. Terrain such as lava, poison ponds, and ice surfaces also affect the range of movement and attack effects. Flexible use can turn the situation around.

4. Make good use of the link system to improve Pokémon's abilities

The "Link" system allows you to establish a relationship with wild Pokémon and add them to your side. It is recommended to regularly explore new areas to capture Pokémon that suit your own tactical style and assign them to suitable generals.

5. Train multiple teams to advance in parallel

In the later stages, the unified task area is large, and relying solely on a main team is inefficient. It is recommended to cultivate 2-3 balanced combat teams to fight at the same time to increase the speed of unification.

6. Use the "deployment before attack" function to plan the battle

Before each city attack, you can preview the enemy's configuration and use the deployment function for troop configuration and skill planning to create a precise attack plan. Prioritize dealing with high-threat targets such as ranged Pokémon or those with abnormal skills.

Through the above strategies combined with reasonable tactical execution, you will gradually conquer Ranse, complete the great undertaking of unification, and ascend to the pinnacle of the Warring States period!
