Pokémon Conquest |OT| Gotta conquer 'em all

Ooh thanks
Actually (spoilers around 7 kingdoms conquered):
when you are asked to fight Shingen and Kenshin, it seems that you only fight one of them. I decided to go after Shingen first, and he counter attacked by sending Yukimura to siege one of my castles. After I defeated Yukimura, I fought Shingen. After the victory, Kenshin appeared and joined me since I was strong enough to defeat is rival. So if you are having trouble fighting Kenshin (his stage is really annoying), then try Shingen.
I should remember that if I ever play through it again. I managed to beat Kenshin on my fourth try because it was the only time his Gallade didn't immediately plant itself on a flag and never move again. His high evasion rate, Parry ability, and apparently just generally high defense made him basically unbeatable when he was camped on that flag. I pummeled him with three-to-four Pokemon for about ten turns and he never went down.

I finally got around to picking up this game today, and I'm really liking it so far.
Question: When's the earliest you can obtain Scraggy in the game? I really don't want to miss it...

I just picked one up in the 5th kingdom, but idk if that's the earliest possible time to get one.
i think i might have missed this, but is there a way to dismiss pokemon from generals? having maxed out at 40% pokemon pisses me off.
go into a field with wild pokemon, and when your pokemon are standing next to the wild pokemon, use the link command.

I think you have to get to a certain point in the story before you can link with wild Pokemon. So if you don't see the link command yet just play until they tell you how to do it.
You can't dismiss them, but you can replace them. If you recruit a new warrior in a kingdom that's full, you get the choose where to place the new warrior. This gives you an opportunity to replace a warrior with the new one.
You can't dismiss them, but you can replace them. Each warrior has a capacity ranging from 4 to 8. Fill the warrior up with and link to a new Pokemon. This gives you an opportunity to replace a Pokemon with the new one.
So yeah, you can't really delete anything, but there's really no downside to having Warriors/Pokemon you don't need. Other than it's annoying to OCD-ers.
Can someone clarify again how it works with 200 pokemon but only (whatever) number of slots for warlords and pokemon? Do you have some sort of gallery/pokedex that shows which ones you have captured even if they are not currently in your army?
(my copy is currently in like, west virginia so I still can't play)

Yep, there's a gallery that keeps track of all the Warriors/Pokemon you've seen or captured, and also details each Warrior/Pokemon's stats and skills.

The Steel kingdom was tough, because Steel Pokemon are just tough to damage, but I built a Steel-specific team and used actual strategy and won and it was very satisfying. Darmanitan's Fire Blast helped.
I agree. I used Darmitan too. I routed them after some planning.

I had trouble with Gallade until I all-out stormed him. I got lucky, used Darumaka and caused a Burn effect on Gallade which neutralized the flag's healing. With three Pokemon attacking him per turn and at least two getting through without a Parry, I finally nailed him to the wall on my fourth or fifth try. It just took tons of preparation pre-fight.
From what people are describing, the majority of the strategy (as opposed to say, Advance Wars) is in the preparation of bringing the right team etc. as opposed to moving around the field. I suppose to a smaller degree that's true of normal pokemon as well though.

I just beat Kenshin myself, actually. I went in with a team of Scraggy/Dewott/Rufflet/Jigglypuff/Darumaka/Luxio, and I barely scraped through. When there were 6 turns to go, his Gallade was planted on the only flag I didn't have and was at almost full health. My Dewott had 20 HP and I thought he was a goner, but he scored a lucky Confusion off of his Water Pulse which caused Gallade to move off of the flag and attempt to attack Scraggy. Next turn, Scraggy grabs the flag; I win. It was luck tactics at their finest.

Finding that as well. Hence why recruiting every Warrior and getting them to train is very important, because you NEED Warriors with varying powers and type strengths, so that you can simply use map and type advantages against the AI.
Of course, having just strong Pokemon/Warlords in general helps.
This happened to me. Now I have to wait for a copy to get shipped to me :/

Finished the main tutorial story. Year 8.
Now onto the postgame, otherwise known as the real game.

Getting this today, no question.
So do the alternate campaigns in this game work like they do in the Warriors games? Where you unlock characters as you complete other storylines? Will I be able to play as Nobunaga?

You too? People have apparently been trying to get this damn game all week at my local Gamestop. Managed to find a copy on their site, though. Won't arrive until the middle of the week. ;-;
Each of the post-game stories focuses on one of the Warlords. And yeah, one story you get to play as Nobunaga. After you finish all the side stories, you'll return to the main story with all Warlords unlocked.
Yeah, Eevee should evolve after reaching 70% Link. I chose glaceon as well, damn near solo'd the final kingdom.
Bring fewer warriors to battle, and pick locations with more enemies. In the post-game you can level up locations so the enemies are stronger.
Game arrived on Saturday. Unfortunately it did not work in my EU DSi but as reported by others it does work on the EU 3DS.
So I have been playing it for a good few hours now and I really like it, battles are simple but building an army is fun; capturing the best pokemon for your warriors determining the best party to bring into battle and searching for warlords is great.
I'm up to conquering the final three areas and I have quite a few warlords recruited to my army already. And I've just noticed the complete map is
, which is cute.

Played a lot at a friends house... awesome game !
The kind of change in the formula that the series needed in a LONG time.
Is there any way to know what pokemon will be the perfect link with a warrior instead of just fighting and looking for medals ?
If you recruit a warrior with a full lineup you have to choose where you put him, if you choose to put him where you recruited him, you will have to put him in the place of a warrior .. and that warrior will be dissmissed.
Made this by acident and lost a charmander ... not a good idea =x
But they appear in the same castle you found then.

Does anyone know how I can recruit Kunoichi? I've defeated her like, four times with a supereffective move and in under 4 turns, and yet she keeps eluding me.
You have to defeat famous generals with your own famous generals iirc. Not the common ones (and I think not the two main characters)
Edit : My bad, maybe she requires special conditions, I found that on google :
"to recruit her you have to defeat her pokemon using Yoshihiro's pokemon"

Thanks a ton! I did what you suggested and she joined me right away.

Here are some of my favourite female Japanese names:
Amaya ("night rain;" very appropriate should you evolve Eevee into Umbreon or Vaporeon)
Rika ("valued fragrance")
Shiori ("poem")
Emi ("blessing")
Haru ("spring")

Whatever you do, don't name her "Chikayo" like I did. It seems like half the people I've been recruiting have "Chika" somewhere in their names, and it's getting confusing.

I just beat the game myself.
My final team was Espeon, Wigglytuff, Samurott, Luxray, Darmanitan (dat Fire Blast) and (of course), Scrafty. I was actually surprised how easy Nobunaga was; I was only on May of Year 6 and he folded like a house of cards.
Yea, he was super easy. My jolteon had 430 hp and pretty much won it for me. Conkeldurr was a beast as well, and darmanitan is a top tier pokemon in this game lol.
