Pokémon Conquest: Difference between revisions

* [[Call Back]]: The ice in the Blizzard Nation functions similarly to the Ice Path in ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver]]''.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Yoshimoto. For one, [[And You Thought It Was a Game|he doesn't realize losing a battle means losing his castle until one of his retainers informs him.]] He also seems to think he's playing a ball game called "Pokémari" rather than actually battling. He's also quite the [[Adult Child]].

* [[Crossover]]: ''[[Pokémon]]'' meets ''[[Nobunagas Ambition]]''.

* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]: Hanbei.

* [[Elaborate Equals Effective]]: The Warlords get more-impressive outfits as they improve their link with their Pokémon.

* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]: Gracia. It even shows in her choice of Pokémon!

** {{spoiler|The hero's ultimate form isn't available until all of the non-downloadable post-game content is complete,}} making this something like a ''five minutes to midnight'' super power.

** Another example is choosing to evolve your Eevee into Glaceon. To do so, you need to use it in the Blizzard Nation... the ''last'' nation before the final battle. As a trade off, you'll be super-effective against all of Nobunaga's Pokémon.

* [[Historical Beauty Update]]: A given, considering the art style.

* [[Historical In-Joke]]: During Mitsuhide's chapter, when attacking a nation defended by Nobonaga he'll say "The enemy is inside [Name of Castle]!" like he did in real life.

* [[An Ice Person]]: [[Akechi Mitsuhide]] seems to be able to generate ice on his own accord. It even freaks out his Lapras.

* [[I Let You Win]]: {{spoiler|Pulled by Nobunaga. He claims that he allowed you to unify the 17 nations and make Arceus appear, so that he can capture it himself.}} This is somewhat evident in gameplay, since the initial battle with the character is fairly easy, and the character's remarkably level headed about losing to you.

* [[Ice Queen]]: Ayagozen's design just screams this. Complete with Frosslass-style hood in her upgraded form.

* [[Improbable Age]]: Motonari certainly seems to think so about the protagonist, to the point where he worries he's the old guard on his way out, much to the dismay of his retainers.

* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]]: With [[Hattori Hanzo]], Fuma Kotaro, and several others.

** Curiously, all of the ninja-like Pokémon are absent, so these guys have to make do with Dark and Poison types.

* [[The Medic]]: Oichi's Warlord Power heals your whole team, so she could be considered one.

* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Most fully-evolved Pokémon have lower movement ranges to prevent them from becoming totally broken. Shingen's Rhyperior is a notable case: low movement and a long-range-only move makes it difficult to position, but once it uses Rock Wrecker, it will certainly leave a mark... and you won't be able to use it next turn.

* [[Nice Hat]]: The male hero's second helmet, Mouhime's Mismagius-inspired witch hat, Ieyasu's ''sword-like'' helmet.... They're all over the place.

* [[No Campaign for The Wicked]]: Averted. Everyone gets their own chapter after the main story, including the apparent [[Big Bad]] Nobunaga.

* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Proud Warrior Race Gal]]: Ginchiyo comes from a clan of Electric type users, and she's proud to bear that heritage. [[Shown Their Work|Just like in real life.]] (minus the Electric Pokémon)

* [[Psychotic Smirk]]: This is Kotarou's ''only'' 'emotive' sprite. Kanbei has one too, but it's more of a smug "just as planned" look, him being a master strategist and all.

* [[Recurring Boss]]: Hideyoshi. First shows up in the Fire Nation, then later appears to help Nene defend the Poison Fang Nation. {{spoiler|And then he assists Nobunaga in the final battle.}} His Chimchar evolves each time.

* [[Recurring Traveler]]: Keiji, and the trio of Mitsunari, Kiyomasa and Masanori.

* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: The region's name -- Ranse is the Japanese spelling, while Ranse'''i''' is the English variant. This could be to prevent mispronunciation, most English speakers would read the Japanese spelling as "rans" instead of "ran-se"<ref>technically "ra-n-se"</ref>.

* [[The Starscream]]: Mitsuhide to Nobunaga in his post game scenario, in reference to real world Mitsuhide's ambush of Nobunaga.

* [[The Stoic]]: [[Hattori Hanzou]]... doesn't show much emotion. His dialogue generally consists of brief, matter-of-fact statements such as "I linked with [Pokemon Name]." or "Victory."

* [[Stripperific]]: Kaihime when upgraded.

* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: The two generic Warlords who invade you at the start. One of them uses [[Com Mons|Bidoof]]. [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|Um... yeah.]]

* [[Those Two Guys]]: Hanbei and Kanbei during Hideyoshi's scenario.
