emoclonetypeSo at the Jump Festa in Japan the newest Pokemon game to be released was announced!
It is not, in fact, connected with Black and White.
No, it's actually to be a crossover.
With Nobunaga's Ambition.
......I. I cannot even find words you guys holy freaking crap Nintendo you are insane and amazing.
Info here and probably just about every other pokemon site on the internet. :|a

what?
(...of course Oichi has a Jigglypuff.
Of course.)

Date: 2011-12-17 05:09 am (UTC)Also who is it who has Mewtwo? I DO NOT ACTUALLY KNOW KOEI CANONS and thus can only identify a few of the most recognizable characters.

Date: 2011-12-17 05:54 am (UTC)THE GAME IN ENGLISH ;A;YES, INDEED. I mean, oh god my dad has an Articuno. This is going to be beautiful.
no subject
Date: 2011-12-17 06:04 am (UTC)well at least since it's POKEMON it'll be relatively simple Japanese?Also from the pictures/caps it looks like the main character is an OC (player chooses the gender) and has an eevee. :|a
no subject
Date: 2011-12-17 06:27 am (UTC)sobs, I will probably import it regardless, because... yep, I just can't resist itBut ohohoho, eevee *A*
no subject
Date: 2011-12-17 06:31 am (UTC)yeah it's times like this I'm glad I can read enough Japanese to play games like that easily |DYeah HOW APPROPRIATE for a character who's meant to be molded to the player's design~ XD

Date: 2011-12-17 06:56 am (UTC)My moonrunes decoding skill is the worst, but I'd brave through three pokemon games in Japanese back in the days... Let's hope this one won't be too hard for me to go through.Still, ahhhh, I am so excited for this beautiful piece of work and oh god, can it be next year yet?no subject

Date: 2011-12-17 06:04 am (UTC)And lol they're using Samurai Warriors designs... I hope the camp SW characters are so we can have "canon" pokemon. PLZ KOEI AND NINTENDO, PLZ.

Date: 2011-12-17 06:09 am (UTC)....although in that case I suppose I'd still settle for a Shingen and vague senses of rivalry. :|a
no subject
Date: 2011-12-17 06:11 am (UTC)But who knows, maybe this will get more exposure to SW in the west. I know it's a Nobunaga's Ambition game, but those are the SW3 designs, so who knows.
no subject
Date: 2011-12-17 06:14 am (UTC)Though yes, from the looks of the comments to one youtube video of the preview from Festa, pokemon fandom is highly, HIGHLY ignorant of Koei's games, so MAYBE....
although if it's definitely DS and not 3DS I may just import itno subject
Date: 2011-12-17 06:18 am (UTC)It looks like it's on the DS, yep! Also wow that sentence in my last comment was redundant. Anyway, I'm not surprised they're ignorant of the Koei series. Dynasty Warriors is a little more popular than SW, but the only Western version of SW3 was released on the Wii (so there's different character designs from SW1/2) and sold terribly.

Date: 2011-12-17 06:23 am (UTC)And yeah, though I guess I'm spoiled in that when I first got into pokemon fandom (WAY BACK IN THE DAY) I hung out on forums where, if MOST of the people there were unfamiliar with something like that, at least someone would know it and happily explain. :|a

Date: 2011-12-17 06:37 am (UTC)Now we have to pair characters up with pokemon and see if we're right.

Date: 2011-12-17 10:25 pm (UTC)It's huge enough for him to use it as a big cushion when they take naps together.
no subject
Date: 2011-12-17 08:26 pm (UTC)Anyway hopefully Nintendo will shape up with the other characters to be introduced :U /feelings

Date: 2011-12-17 11:01 pm (UTC)Although personally, I think jigglypuff has some pretty strong mascot status, itself, both from the anime and SSB, so idk.
