Wait, wasn't this announced a long time ago?  Or did I just see some really convincing fan art back then?

Admittedly, I love this more in concept than from the smattering of gameplay I've seen here and there, but much like Final Fantasy and its TBS spinoffs, I do feel like there is a good turn-based tactical Pokemon game to be made out there, even if this isn't necessarily the one.

So if a pokemon fails, does it have to ritually commit suicide to avoid shame?

The warring states era setting is hilariously popular in games and anime now, there's been like four different shows of high school girls in the role of Nobunaga etc only this year..

I give every single Tactics Ogre clone I can get my hands on a chance. You never know when you'll find a gem in the rough like Kartia. There certainly are some that are really bad, though. Hoshigami and Stella Deus come to mind.

Hope it's good. Should have been on consoles.

Hopefully this adds to the pretty stellar line-up of Tactical RPGs already on the DS, which seems to be made for these games.

the term 'warring states era' usually refers to a period of Chinese history, not Japanese.

Seriously, I have been waiting for a new idea with Pokemon for awhile. In the absence of Advance Wars, this will be a great tactics game to obsess over for months.

If you look closely, many of these "trainers" are actually models of the Samurai Warriors from KOEI.

Pokemon and Samurai Warriors together. As strange a team up as any -____-*.

This video is at least 1-2 years old. All they did was translate it.

And all this is is a Pokemon turn-based RPG with more gimmicks...

Seriously, when the hell are we gonna get a Grand Theft Pokemon?

I'd play the shit out of a 3rd person sandbox pokemon game, heck, even if it played the same way come fighting time that the old school gameboy games played.

Give us an open world, people, maybe some pokemon animations when they fight if you stick to a tactical menu gameplay style. Something like that would be class and I feel I'm taking crazy pills coz no one has made that game yet!
