I prefer the Onimusha version.
I PREFER WHEN POKEMON USED TO BE POKEMON
a pokemon game that’s actually strategy, I LIKE IT
try playing it against actual people. the strategy is ridiculous
Amen brother
It’s a tactics game. Look what happend to fallout when interplay made Fallout Tactics Brotherhood of Steel. Lotsa peeps hated it. Gamefreak look at what FT:BOS failed at and don’t make a game like this sucky
samurai warriors and pokemon. I think I’m gonna like this game.
Stole my words, good sir. I challenge you to a duel.
*Slaps face with glove.*
I don’t see the purpose of this (maybe get money for get money)
well, both games are completely awesome, so its a “two great things that go great together” like chocolate and peanut butter, movies and popcorn, pie and cool whip.
Do you understand now?
Samurai an pokemon? No. I recall we can’t know the kind of contract they do, like with KH, who have the idea? Square enix o Disney?
I don’t get what this is.
Me neither… Are they joining Samurais with Pokémon…?
It’s weird… Pokémon has never disapointed me. … They’ll never disapoint…
Pokemon? This is a Digimon’s season!!
I don’t know if this is supposed to be next January’s big announcement. But if it is, I say : Meh. Not impressed. Huge let down.
*checks calendar*
It seems it isn’t. Given that it is, in fact….
DECEMBER!
I really don’t know how to feel about this yet. I know absolutely nothing about this other series.
Anyway, here’s the trailer not video taped on someone’s phone:
http:/
/www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=u34bzH5Eo04
Seems ok, may get if this is the next game, it will be an interesting turn for pokemon.
this is not the “world first shocking announcement” they say right????
never felt so let down in my life. oh my god.
Don’t worry, Rick Astley will never let you down!
i am confused. Why is mew two with a trainer? Let alone all the other legendarys that at one time or another were pissed off at people. Can someone please translate?
This looks awesome. It’s a shame that it’s made for the DS and not the 3DS, though.
The only problem I have is that they have Mewtwo… in Ancient Japan…
samurai’s can clone things
Omfg I didn’t even realize how stupid that is until you pointed it out xD…
because there’s totally no pokemon that can time travel/cause others to time travel.
Mewtwo hasn’t reasons to cooperate with celebi.
Or Dialga
Mewtwo wouldn’t have a choice, with either Celebi or Dialga.
I am just gonna say time travel to justify that. It has happened before in the Pokemon series.
Japan is REALLY technologically advanced?
Also, is it wrong that upon seeing Mewtwo i said “I hope i can play as the white man!” .-.
Racist!
I realized that too, but the game looks so awesome I just said “F it” and nerded all over the official site.
That’s what’s being bothering me too… along with having people (other than you) paired up with legendaries. As for time travel explaining this I can’t figure out a situation in which celebi or dialga would meet up with mewtwo of all legendaries ad for some reason send his cloned ass to the past.
Maybe they have other people with legendaries because back then Pokemon and people were closer. I mean Ho-oh used to live in Ecruteak city until the tower was destroyed.
Pretty sure Mewtwo was created long after Ho-oh left the tower.
You misssed the point of my post. I was talking about why other people have legendaries. As to why Mewtwo is there I have no idea.
Some legendaries (zekrom, groudon, dialga) existed in the past but zekrom and reshiram are, historicaly, one of the new ones (100 years) I dunno about japan’s history periods.
So, it’s an ancester of Giovanni?
How is that related to his comment? The green guy would be Celebi.
Phew! I thought I was the only one to notice that!
Ancient Elgeeims!
Simple. Mewtwo traveled back in time by breaking the fourth wall, getting to level 101, and catching trainers. He then wound up in ponyville. After beating the mane six in all of their strengths, he was allowed to go back to his dimension, where he was weakens by the intra-dimensional travel. Thus, he fused with mew, the side effects of which created a supernova explosion. He was sent t into the fourth wall, shattering it, and ending up in samurai times.
Or the developers f*cked up with him again.
Its the power of ye ol’ Action Replay
While the game has figures from ancient japan, and is based around it, this game takes place in some alternate world where these ancient japanese figures appear in the pokemon world, with some region that isn’t as advanced technologically speaking, thus having mewtwo travel there from kanto.
looks like it could be fun a bit more then the story of your ten now so off you go to try and not die bring honor to your family kid we no longer have to suport
Sentences what are those i dont know what that is how do I punctuation does this sentence a jumble sence make please feed me more crack
It makes sense now, the giant enemy crabs from Japanese history….were kinglers!
Still waiting for grey, or remade ruby and sapphire…
Same here.
hope the “big announcement” in january is either pokemon gray or even R/S/E remakes
^Same here. I have hope for it though, fire emblem and ff tactics are great franchises and this will be familiar. I just hope they don’t somehow butcher what some already see a disappointment.
Pro:
Actually different (plot wise, gameplay, etc.)
Con:
Not Snap 2
Mmm… I just remembered something that MIGHT look like Pokémon SNAP 2 without actually being it… (Huh? xD)
Nintendo 3Ds has a program for 5th generation Pokémon in 3D for free, right? You can use that program to photograph 3D pokémon with real life landscapes…
Mother of God….
It was right in front of us!
I believe this to be proof that they’re getting us used to seeing pokemon like that in 3d in order to introduce a pokemon snap 2 for the 3ds.
Pro:
Articuno.
Con:
Not R/S/E remake.
Pro: Not a R/S/E remake
Con: I’ve never heard of Nabunaga’s Ambition
Pro: At least its something
Con:
1. no remake
2.I dont understand
3.I think people having one pokemon is stupid
4.WHAT IS NABUNAGA?
5.No new game…..
AND THE F**KING LIST GOES ON!
Nobunaga was an important lord in japanesse history, we planned on taking over all of japan.
This version of Nobunaga, and the name of the game itself (Nobunaga’s ambition) references Samurai Warriors, where Nobunaga is a playable character, and there’s a chapter by that name.
THANK YOU MR. GOOGLE, NOW THE GAME MAKES SO MUCH SENSE….
It’s a play on Japanese history. The characters that were listed are historically real except that they threw in Pokemon. This is as close as we’re going to get with seeing Pokemon in real life, we can actually play through history with them. If you don’t know what the game consists of, either buy it to find out, or don’t if you believe it isn’t worth the money. Just stop whining about how you’ve never heard of it before.
THANK YOU MR. ADVICE FOR GIVING ME THIS MEANINGFUL AND RELEVANT ADVICE.
even serribi didn’t have that…
damn, I said “we” when I was typing “who”.
nice job, slowbro
I was actually pretty scared that the new game will be a grey version, I know nothing about the nobunaga games, but it can be worst than pokemon ranger o black and white : /
…But I really was hoping for a pokemon stadium 3 >’:
I think this could be really cool. Hopefully it will be good.
Same. I have high hopes for it.
1+1=2. Could it work?
So… was this the “New pokemon game” they were gonna announce on January 14th?
Old Gen and New Gen getting along.
These awesome samurai dudes should be everyone’s idol here.
…Strikes me as a hearty blend of Pokemon and Shining Force. Given that I enjoy both, we’ll see how this goes.
I doubt this will be released outside of Japan
Considering Samurai Warriors: Chronicles, I think this game may actually get out of there.
If it dont… well, someone will have to fetch me my gun.
Why not your pokeball?
Nobunaga’s Ambition has been released outside Japan, so I reckon this game will be, too.
please tell me this is real :L
I’m guessing this was what they were gonna announce in January
Wait…THIS IS ACTUALLY LEGIT?!?!?!?
OMG, THIS LOOKS SO AMAAAZIIING!!!!!! XD However, I have NO idea what the samurai game is! ^^0 Whatever! Seems like it will be a blast~<3
They misspelled Pokemon Gray.
No, you did. It’s grey
Both forms are acceptable. Quit being ignorant.
Grey came first. So there.
LET’S QUIT BEING TOLERANT.
like
this reminded me…
they need to release a new Pokemon Colosseum-esque/Pokemon XD type game
Yes!
Nobunaga’s Ambition is a turn-based strategy RPG. So it’s probably not going to be exactly like Samurai/Dynasty Warriors. It is, however, from the same makers as Dynasty Warriors, so we can hope. If it is action-type game play like D.W., I’ll probably import it. If its the turn-based one I’m not so sure.
Am I the only one who hates the idea of this? Just bring me Grey version…
me either
i HATED it,i thought it’d be the grey version or even R/S remakes,and,what did they give us?
pokemon + nobunaga’s ambition = the worst “game” we’ve ever been given so far
OMG THEY’RE TRYING SOMETHING NEW I’M GONNA HATE ON IT. Please, you really think you not gonna get your next version of Pokemon? Get over it.

In The Games Department
New Pokémon Game – Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition
Dengeki Online has revealed a brand new Pokémon game for release next year. This game Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition (ポケモン プラス ノブナガの野望 ) is due for release in Japan in Spring 2012 on Nintendo DS. Not much is known about this game yet but it appears to be an RPG game, similar to the Nobunaga Ambition games set in old Japan which are Turn-Based Strategy RPGs and labelled as a simulation. This game is a crossover between Pokémon and Nobunaga Ambition where you have to take over Japan gradually, but how Pokémon ties in, is not yet known. Details are being added as we speak. This game is set within the Ranse Region
Edit @ 03:03; More details have come in from the official site and will be added here as we translate them. At the moment, all we have are character names;
Like the main games, you can select either a male or female heroine. They both start with Eevee
Nobunaga is the main warlord who has Zekrom as his partner
Oichi is a character who helps you in the game, paired with Jigglypuff
Mitsuhude is a character teamed with Articuno
Shingen is a character teamed with Groudon
Kenshin is a character teamed with Mewtwo
More information is promised in January, indicating it’ll be in CoroCoro and possibly be the game CoroCoro revealed
Edit @ 03:24; 13 New Screenshots from gameplay added. This shows that the gameplay zooms in when combat is in effect, and you can move your Pokémon across the area by grabbing them
Got this from Serribi!
what the hell is this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ll just deliriously roll on the floor while screaming like a fangirl…
Get Amused Yet ?
what the hell .. no way I’ ll play this.
Pro: New idea, total innovation, DS game (not 3DS, fortunately)
Con: Not Gray or R/S Remake
Also, why not including the Samurai Pokémon, Samurott? He could be his own owner.
Is this real?!?!
Sengoku Basara combined with Pokemon
YAAAAAAY, JUST MORE CRAP COMING OUT OF GAMEFREAK’S ASS!!!!!
Except…Gamefreak isn’t the only developer…there’s another team on this.
EXCEPT IT DOESN’T MAKE THE GAME GAME LESS CRAPPY…
KO gtfo, u annoying piece of s**t
Seriously, go die in a fire hatemonger.
Wait, is it a game or a movie?! I’m so confused @_@
Except that this game is an RTS. :/
This isn’t RTS, either it’s turn based or uses a similar system to Final Fantasy Tactics.
It’s an advanced sistem than mistery dungeon.
Good gosh I want this game soooo badly because it looks AWESOME.
OuO
This seems interesting and my favorite Pokemon seems to be your partner in this. Yay Eevee!!!!!
Though I am still looking forward to a R/S/E remake.
I want to see a Charizard Samurai
not sure if it will be awesome……………..or crap to give pokepurists something other than gen 5 to cry about, one thing i know is that awesome is the same in every language
Well, there goes my cosplay budget.
Nice spinoff… wonder how this will develop over time. Still wondering if they will release a new main series game in 2012 (usually they have a april announcement and september release)
F**k, I’m buying this even if people say it sucks!
Sucks big time.
what makes you belive that?
Is this just another of those stupid games where you control the pokemon and NOT the player? like mystery dungeon.
Finally! Screw the P.E.T.A. villains, screw the ice cream cone mans, screw Pokepark, Pokemon is finally badass again!
Lol P.E.T.A. villians!
This looks like Final Fantasy Tactics with pokemon….WANT
My thoughts exactly.
This. So much this.
Currently playing FFTA2, and I’d love to play a pokémon version of it.
Although… this is going to be on 3DS, isn’t it?
Bah, quit your whining about Grey and a possible R/S/E remake, guys. Just because this wasn’t what you were expecting doesn’t mean they won’t make it eventually. I was actually hoping for a new Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, myself, but I’m willing to give this a try!
Anyone who has Magikarp or a (top porcent) rattata will won the war.
Samurai Warriors and Pokemon, both my fav games, all together oO
WHERE ‘S UR GOD NOW?
:D
Helping Nintendo make a masterpiece of a pokemon spin-off.
Looks interesting! Therefor probably won’t be translated or brought to Europe.
Shut up and take my money!

Srsly, seeing this made me smile big time. Looks like a good RPG to me.
And I love to see Mewtwo back in action
Although the main character seems to have an Eevee, which is my favorite Pokemon! 1st Gen for ever (haters gonna hate).
Reminds me of Shining Force too.
God, please dont mess this up
So happy, that it will be for the DS.
Agreed on all points. Good ol’ Shining Force <3
Glad it’s not on 3DS so I can get it.
My question is, will there be an English translation?
Oh lord that Piplup outfit.
>All of my why
I want this game!
/will complain to no end. /will also buy it anyways.
FOR THE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT MEWTWO!!!
One word. Alchemy.
How about quit complaining about mewtwo not fitting into this world, as if the other pokemon were really there.
Pokemon.. I am disappoint…
but of course since it IS “still” pokemon I must have it >_>
but I wont promise any enjoyment! D:<
so this is a tactics game? looks like fun, I haven’t played a good tactics game in a while.
Standard reaction to a main series game: “Why don’t they ever try anything new? It’s the same thing over and over again!”
Standard reaction to a new game: “THIS ISN’T A NEW MAIN SERIES GAME! THIS SUCKS!”
THAT’S THE SPIRIT !!! YOUR EXTRAORDINARILY WISE. DAMN, NO ONE WOULD EVER THINK ABOUT IT. THANK YOU FOR MAKING YOUR POINT.
This is pretty acurate.
Looked pretty awesom, until i saw the gameplay =.= meh.
It looks okay. I’d rather that we be able to pick a Pokemon for a partner instead of getting stuck with an Eevee.
Fans, prepare for the newest badass Pokemon main character since Wes from pokémon Colosseum,,,
Expectations high!
From the looks of it, samurai warriors just want some publicity since most people don’t even know it
finally! a kid who grows as time passes by
This is why the world won’t end by the end of next year.
Meh… Pokemon you dissapoint me with this…
Aaaah, but you CAN’T nuzlocke this one, too bad.
How does Mewtwo, a pokemon created by teachnology exsist in fudal japan, when teachnology has yet to exist?
-__- Read the other comments, fuedal japan comes to the future to a less advanced japan and Mewtwo shoots over to visit.
OR
wait until there is a tanslation
I for one would love to play this game.
Tatics-Style gameplay?
Samurai?
Pokemon?
Shut up and take my money
your points seem valid…
and i am tottally agreing with you.
this game. bring it on.
i have been waiting.
Oh… sorry. My guess was that it was a ditto
As always, the protagonist keeps the sissy pokemon and the others use legendaries :/
so is it like fftactics with pokemon? 0.o if so thats too awesome!
I keep throwing my money at the screen but it’s not transferring to yen.
I have heard people say pokemon generations 3-5 were stupid and unoriginal, and yet I have scrolled through these comments and yet half of you say this would be a good game?
No just no…
I’m cautiously optimistic about this. I currently see the R/S/E remake or the “Grey version” as a foregone conclusion, so an out-of-the-blue announcement like this is a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed Mystery Dungeon (Red Rescue Team, anyway), so a Pokemon game with alternate gameplay isn’t totally alien to me.
On the other hand, Nintendo is notoriously tight-fisted with their franchises. If they can play nice with these other guys, I can see this as a potential purchase in…whenever it comes out.
This just doesn’t look interesting to me. If the gameplay works like I think it will (judging from the clips in the video) then this will be a game that I’ll be very happy to pass up on. On top of that, getting stuck with an Eevee is something I don’t care too much for. Eevee is one of my least favorite pokemon and always has been.
I will admit though that the deviation from traditional pokemon play is nice, this particular deviation is just not my cup of tea.
WTF GAME FREAK, THIS IS A STUPID THING!!!!
DISAPPOINTMENT OVERLOAD!!!!!!!
SHOULD HAVE DONE THE POKE WAR INSTEAD!!!!
I feel like its fire emblem, with pokemon…
The problem is how does one of the characters have a mewtwo before mewtwo was even created?
BAM!!!!
still wondering what the hell mewtwo is doing there
