There is a six chapter manga adaptation named ''Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition: Ranse Picture Scroll'' that began on March 16, 2012 and is hosted on [http://seiga.nicovideo.jp/comic/48?list Niconico Seiga]. In April 2012, it was revealed that the game will be brought to the United States, under the title '''''Pokémon Conquest''''', on June 18th. [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|The internet nearly exploded]].

Line 20:
** Oh, and if you command a Warlord to move to a non-adjacent nation, they travel ''by blimp.''
* [[Badass Mustache]]: Hideyoshi in his upgraded form.
* [[Bag of Spilling]]: Your link level and finances are reset to the default in every post-game episode.
* [[Battle Couple]]: Among the Warlord Leaders accompanying Nobunaga in the final battle is his wife Nouhime.
** Ginchiyo and Muneshige Tachibana defend the Tram nation much earlier. And once you recruit them, they'll ''only'' evolve if the other is present.
Line 26:
* [[Big Fun]]: Takeda Shingen and his two Pokémon of choice.
* [[Boobs of Steel]]: Most of the female Warlords.
* [[Bragging Rights Reward]]: {{spoiler|The hero's final form.}} You have to finish ''everything'' in the game that involves him or her before you unlock it, although it does make repeat runs through the final scenario a little easier.
* [[Brother-Sister Team]]: Kenshin and Ayagozen.
* [[Brutal Bonus Level]]: Some of the special episodes are significantly harder than the main game.
* [[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]].
* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: Non-Fire-type Pokémon, and humans for that matter, are certainly pretty fine with battling in the middle of a volcano. In fact the Fire Nation in its entirety is practically a volcano, it's a wonder how people even live there...
* [[Crossover]]: ''[[Pokémon]]'' meets ''[[Nobunaga's Ambition]]''.
Line 40:
** Another one on reaching the Steel, Ghost, and Blizzard Nations.
* [[Defector From Decadence]]: Completley Averted. Warlords loyal to Nobunaga will never join you under any circumstances. You'll have to wait for their special episodes to use them.
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: To recruit new Warlords, you first have to defeat them in battle [[Timed Mission|within a certain number of turns]] to 'earn their respect'. This even works on the Leaders' generic minions, but the Leaders themselves have one additional requirement: the final blow must be dealt by another Leader. (including the Hero and Oichi) And even then, some leaders won't join unless the story specifies it.
* [[Designated Girl Fight]]: Ginchiyo's special episode.
* [[The Dragon]]: Mitsuhide to Nobunaga, though he later becomes [[The Starscream]].
Line 47:
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]: Gracia. It even shows in her choice of Pokémon!
* [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]]: {{spoiler|You get to use Arceus for the final battle with Nobunaga.}}
** {{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.
* [[Empathy Pet]]: Pokémon owned by important characters tend to mimic their Warlord's animations in cutscenes.
* [[Everything's Better with Samurai]]
* [[Excuse Plot]]: A rare ''in-universe'' example! There's an old legend in Ransei that the [[Olympus Mons|Phantom Pokémon]] will appear to whoever owns all 17 castles. Thus, all the nations have an excuse to invade eachother.
* [[Expressive Hair]]: Kaihime's hair almost literally ''explodes'' when she gets angry.
* [[Extended Gameplay]]: Zigzagged. {{spoiler|You're locked out of playing your hero once you finish the main game until you beat all of the other non-Wi-Fi scenarios.}}
Line 63:
* [[Handsome Lech]]: Magoichi. Hits on Oichi in the pre-battle dialogue, and needs to have 3 female Warlords in his nation in order to evolve.
* [[Historical Badass Upgrade]]: All the female Warlords, at the very least.
** Inverted with Yoshimoto, who goes from the serious Daimyo as depicted [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/01/Imagawa.JPG here] to a painted faced loony.
* [[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.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Motochika, oddly for a ''water'' user. It makes him a Foil to the calm, cool-headed grass user: Motonari.
* [[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.
Line 73:
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons]]: Used by [[Oda Nobunaga]] no less!
* [[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.
* [[Instant Win Condition]]: some maps can be won by capturing all the flags scattered throughout.
* [[Interface Spoiler]]: Averted. There are 199 Pokémon on the Pokédex-esque list at the start of the game. {{spoiler|Encountered legendaries raise that number to a maximum of 211.}}
Line 80:
** It's averted to varying degrees with the Pokémon, however. All 211 (''more'' than advertised, curiously) Pokémon have at least one unique portrait, and those associated with special Warlords tend to have more.
** [[Reused Character Design]]: All the human NPC character designs originated in ''[[Samurai Warriors]] 3''.
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: To the ''[[Nobunaga's Ambition]]'' side of the crossover's usual fare, anyway.
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: {{spoiler|Nobunaga is Oichi's brother.}} [[Foregone Conclusion|But if you know your history, this shouldn't come as much of a surprise.]]
* [[Magikarp Power]]: The [[Trope Namer]] itself is in the game, but your starter shines almost as notoriously as it. With only one attack, the Eevee you begin with is pretty useless past the first few maps until you evolve it. You're going to have to be very patient if you wanted any of the Eeveelutions other than the first three, though....
** Abra too, as, until it evolves, it's stuck with teleport, which can't damage things at all. (Not ''totally'' useless, you can try using it to seize objectives... if you're feeling lucky.)
* [[The Anime of the Game|The Manga Of The Game]]: One that's posted on [http://info.nicovideo.jp/seiga/ranse/ Nico Video] at least every other Friday.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Ranse means "turbulent times", an apt name for the [[Jidai Geki|Sengoku Period]]-esque world the game is based on.
** All of the nations have one too.
Line 90:
* [[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.
* [[My Master, Right or Wrong]]: Mitsuhide struggles with this during the main story. He eventually decides to go full-blown [[The Starscream|Starscream]] in the post-game.
* [[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.
* [[Non
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Hanbei seems lazy and uninterested, but is just as brilliant a strategist as his partner Kanbei.
* [[Animal Motif|Pokémon Motif]]: Several Warlords evolve into wearing armor that resembles their Best Link (The only Pokémon they can reach 100% synchronization with), i.e. Kotaru's Zoroark claws and boa or [[Date Masamune|Masamune's]] Braviary helmet.
* [[The Power of Friendship]]: A Pokémon's strength is determined by how well synchronized it is with its Warlord, in lieu of a more traditional experience system. This even translates into the story, as your rival military commanders don't start putting up a challenge until their Pokémon are [[Empathy Pet|visibly synchronized]] with them.
* [[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.
* [[Puzzle Boss]]: Mitsuhide, mostly due to [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World|the terrain.]] Ieyasu in the Steel Nation too, as he requires you to have Pokémon run on gears to open/close gates.
* [[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.
Line 103:
* [[Seventh-Episode Twist]]: Well, excluding the Hajime Nation, the 7th castle you capture will be either the Earth or Phantasm Nation, and afterwards {{spoiler|not only do you meet Nobunaga in person for the first time, you find out he's Oichi's brother.}}
* [[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.
* [[Starter Villain]]: Hideyoshi, though "villain" is a bit of a stretch.
* [[Stealth Pun]]: In real life, Hideyoshi was nicknamed "Little Monkey" by Nobunaga because of his appearance. In this game, he uses the Chimchar family.
Line 112:
* [[Teeth-Clenched Teamwork]]: Despite fighting alonside Masamune, it's obvious Magoichi doesn't like him very much. In fact, one of the requirements for his evolution is for Masamune to ''not'' be in the same nation!
* [[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.
* [[Title Drop]]: Nobunaga's Warlord Powers are titled Great Ambition and Extreme Ambition.
* [[Tomboy Princess]]: Kaihime. It's even one of her powers!
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: As in Pokémon, the monsters can evolve to more powerful forms. Unlike either home series, the Warlords can also "evolve"... more impressive looking armor (though mechanically and even visibly it's no different from a Pokémon's evolution).
* [[Turn-Based Strategy]]
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Yoshimoto tends to end his sentances with の.
* [[Wake Up Call Boss]]: Shingen and Kenshin. Their armies are ''much'' stronger than you're used to, and they're the first opponents to use fully-evolved Pokémon. Oh, and they add a variety of different type users to avert [[Poor Predictable Rock]].
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Some of the Warlords, most notably Keiji.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have To Be Fighting Types?]]: After capturing the first three nations, the next three open up... one of which is the Fist Nation, upon which Oichi notes that both your and her Pokémon are Normal types... yeah, you're advised to avoid that area for now.
* [[Wolverine Claws]]: Kotarou, when upgraded.
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Yukimura sees the hero as this. It makes a lot of sense when you realise his specialty Pokémon is Charizard which, according to the Pokédex, is also prone to this kind of behavior.
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: Ranmaru to Nobunaga.
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: Inahime has this ''as one of her powers.'' Given that it increases movement range and [[Improbable Aiming Skills|makes ALL attacks hit for three turns]], emphasis is probably placed on the 'iron heart' aspect of the trope.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: The [http://www.pidgi.net/wiki/File:Heroes_with_Eevee_-_Conquest.jpg female] protagonist (it's more noticable on the "gender select" screen when starting a new game).
