The free for all after post game content was really fun too. I’m surprised more types of tactics RPGs like these don’t exist anymore, that take after this early nobunagas ambition style.
This is one of those games that you feel like never gets old, I've had 300+ hours in Pokémon Conquest and STILL didnt beat the game, STILL have fond memories of, I'll probably pick it back up if i dig through my childhood box, the game was easily one of the best NDS games period, after Pokémon BW2, Dinosaur King, and Fossil Fighters Champions.
I miss pokemon actually trying with their side games. Really the only recent one is pokemon snap 2. We need a conquest 2, more mystery dungeons, pokemon ranger, pokemon stadium, titles that actually have love in them.
It's not that the spin-offs are soulless trash, it's that they don't make as much Pokemon spin-offs anymore. You can blame that on the fact that Nintendo no longer makes two separate consoles anymore; one for home and one for handheld. The fact that Nintendo only makes one console nowadays significantly limits the amount of Pokemon spin-offs.
Agreed. People, please, enjoy whatever you want to enjoy but as part of a balanced daily meal plan. One of these at lunch may just be the boost you need to see though to dinner, but dont replace every meal with it. Balance your diet
I actually ate meal replacement only for whole year and half and it improved my mood and health a lot actually. Back then I did have the depression diet of bread and fast food so it was pretty easy to improve. But now years later I would still really recommend if you're having problems with eating healthy
I've been living off of it for several years with no issues, no deficiencies, no excesses. Bloodwork is good and I'm a picture of perfect health. Sometimes you'll rarely get a box that has prematurely spoiled product, though, marked by a peculiar smell from the usual batches. The FDA thinks it's nutritionally complete, and bioavailability is accounted for. I'm a chem major like Rob was when he founded the brand (& a microbio student); they're not gonna bullshit me about it. It's actually one of the best food substitutions on the market, especially for the price. Likely for liability, they don't suggest replacing every meal with it, only _any_ meal, as the slogan goes. Very early formulas had too much fiber, and their initial food bar run was a failure due to issues with vitamin A quantities in the food bar. Before the original Kickstarter, Rob nearly killed himself trying to get the initial 1.0 formula right (He was his own guinea pig). It's come a long ways. It also didn't originally incorporate any soy products, but it's now a cost effective source for the protein in the current formula (used to use whey for protein isolate). The name is a reference to Soylent Green. Food is just biochem, _but there's a lot of room for error in biochem if someone fucks up their numbers._
This game is crazy expensive in Europe (it goes for about 200 euros in Italy) it's definitely a good game. Hate the fact that Pokémon games have become so crazy expensive 😢
My Top 5 Pokémon games 1. Pokémon Emerald 2. Pokémon Heartgold 3. Pokémon Legends Arceus 4. Pokémon Conquest 5. Pokémon Black (Honorable mentions: Pokemon Diamond, Pokemon Black 2, Pokemon X, and Pokemon Ranger Guardian Signs.)
i got a 2ds around when the 3ds eshop shut down and was able to get some copies of older games i missed. i know i have a copy of pokemon conquest somewhere i’d love to play, but don’t know where my copy is and don’t want to pay for it at second market prices. so happy to be able to watch this video and experience some nostalgia!
I was told by a client at the retro game shop I work at that this game was pretty much fire emblem with pokemon, and I had to look this up because fire emblem is my favorite game series. Looking at this game play it's clear that it's true lol Can't wait to buy
If this game gets a reboot or a 2nd game hopefully they'll add fairy type to add more fun 😅 13:46 Evey character has at least 1 perfect partner tho some special characters have many perfect partners 😅
I recently found my long lost copy of Conquest that I hadn't seen in 5+ years. Never had the time to hop on it until I watched this vid, and all of the nostalgia came flooding back. To me it was one of the greatest spin-offs not only mechanics wise, but story and even just playability. Being able to choose how you play and go at your own pace wasn't done nearly as much as it should've been back then. I really hope games like this and the Ranger series either get a sequel or remaster
Pokemon conquest is probably my favorite pokemon to date right beside Legends Arceus. The character designs, the combat, story arcs, it was just all incredibly fun and felt like it had a lot of replayability to me as a kid. I got attached to one of the first basic warriors you can recruit, takatora. The post game was great too!
I tried this once years ago and wasn't digging it too much. But every month or so ill get the urge to play it so i will eventually, its definitely the type of thing I would enjoy it just starts a bit slow iirc.
Same. I felt it was too simplified for both Pokémon and Nobunaga, and wound up selling it back. But then every now and then I get the urge to try it again!
The post game is where it gets really good, I put probably 300+ hours into it total and playing through the main story now is a bit of a slog. Some of the post-game scenarios are quite tricky and more engaging.
this game is quite underrated Link is a decent mechanic It made warriors are worth to collect this even could explian why the main series most trainer just master one or two types because most trainer had their limits in types except protagonist just there still some cons it has a bug if pokemon is out of the map may cause unmovable or invincible also if emery too over level it's really unbeatable also make it opposite you can make only one over-level and high morale warrior to sweep everything and less the warriors each battle the more link you gain this game still need further polish but it's a fine try Pokemon need some STG
Played out all the kingdoms with pokemon that i liked and ended up stop playing after halfway through the ones i didnt favor, story was interesting and gameplay was hella fun, the tower u had to dodge lighting was tough for my dragons
Thanks for this really fun and in depth review. Have you tried Disgaea? It’s the craziest strategy rpg ever and one of the most customizable games in general.
I bought this in japan several years ago when it had just released and wasnt out internationally. I didnt know japan games were locked to a japan ds so i was so disappointed that i couldnt use it. Just recently, i opened it up for the lols and saw that there was a free promo shiny rayquaza pokemon card inside 😫
Conquest will always be one of my favorite Pokemon games ever, if only for the fact that mah boi Crobat is borderline broken in this game. Shadow Dash + Cross Poison will just destroy everything at breakneck speed if there isn't a single steel type opponent in the map.
Since your into JRPGs, you should check out the mother series and especially mother 3 if you haven’t already, I personally would love for you to make a video on it
I didn't like this very much due to each Pokemon being limited to one move instead of a set of four like in the main games. I pre-ordered it, and wanted to love this because I loved the Koei strategy games, and enjoy Pokemon.
@@tumultuousv Perhaps but allowing the player to customize the move sets is IMO a very large part of Pokemon. Its hard to do that when limited to one move.
@@roguerifter9724 As much as I love the game, I wholeheartedly agree. I think this game would be made more interesting if just one more move was added. It would give this game a lot more strategy than just positioning and attacking with the same move repeatedly.
I really need to know for certainty! Does this game work on a Nintendo 3ds XL? And if so, where can I purchase this game for a reasonable price? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Bro, Conquest is literally a "what if during the Edo Period, Pokemon existed and fought in wars throughout the unification of Japan" lol.... That's why you fight other warlords and such. It's based on Japanese history. With fiction of course.
"Pokemon Conquest is actually really good" Weirdo who doesn't like turn based strategy games, pokemon, handheld games, anything older than 5 years, and has never played a game not mainstream: "pokemon is the most cringe game ever with no real substance or enjoyment" Glad to see people going back and finding Conquest. Its one of the few games that survived the passage of time from my childhood.
The first 500 people to use this link and code RETROREBOUND30 will get 30% off their first order with Soylent: bit.ly/3q97E11
Soylent? The green one wouldn't happen to be people, would it?
Who the hell thought that name was a good idea?!
@@MrMatthias I came here to post a snippy comment about not giving me the green one. You beat me to it :)
As someone with nearly 500 hours in Conquest, it is easily in my top 3 favourite pokémon games ever. Such an amazing quality game
whats your other 2 favorite games?
@@lustyy1750 Leafgreen and Channel
@@Br0ohamchannel??
Same, I have 470 hours in the game, and am almost done getting all perfect links for literally all 200 warriors in the game!
DS era for pokemon was really good, from Pokemon conquest to pokemon ranger and mystery dungeons
Its peak greatness for me the titles they dropped on there they havent tried again
100%
Possibly Pokémon’s BEST ERA
rip to all the ds lower screens that ranger destroyed
@@pickle-shoemarvin7574 LMFAO! Good times

@@jimmythegamer2231 most spin-offs were released on handhelds, along with mainline games... what are you talking about?
It really does take different devs to make better games
There's also Rescue Team DX! That was a _fantastic_ remake.
I liked arceus idk how much of a spin off that really is though.
I vote for an updated, new gen version of this
Me too
It’s the best Pokémon spin-off ever. They neeeeed to make a new one for the switch in hd-2d style
This is like the one Pokemon spin off I never played
Same 😭 it looks good to.
@@kristopherwillis8075 its insanely good, definitely get it (emulate it if needed)
It is bro y’all should play it
Might be one of the few that actually was worth looking into too. Kinda wish they made another
it’s so good
As a Fire Emblem, Pokemon, and Nobunaga’s Ambition fan I LOVE this game. One of coolest spinoffs. Needs a remaster and a sequel.
Buy that soy drink if you want, but using it as a meal substitute like he describes in the ad is an awful idea
Agreed. People, please, enjoy whatever you want to enjoy but as part of a balanced daily meal plan. One of these at lunch may just be the boost you need to see though to dinner, but dont replace every meal with it. Balance your diet
I'm pretty sure the males in our society have more than enough soy in them already.
I actually ate meal replacement only for whole year and half and it improved my mood and health a lot actually. Back then I did have the depression diet of bread and fast food so it was pretty easy to improve.
But now years later I would still really recommend if you're having problems with eating healthy
@@hugogieles4816 it was probably more of the fact that you stopped eating fast food that improved your mental health.

i LOVED this game. also super replayable with the extra stories at the end

Hate the fact that Pokémon games have become so crazy expensive 😢
Yeah, in the Netherlands it's the same, but we're European as well 😂
still have my copy from day 1. Its such an amazing game. A remaster for switch would be nuts
Agree since it also never released in europe
oh my god i love this game. Im so glad that a romhacking scene has built on this recently to mitigate some of its problems

I haven’t been able to stop playing this game since its release date. It’s that good.
Bro no way. We need a remaster of this!
This is the one and only Pokemon spinoff I’ve ever put real time into. And I adore it.
My friend had this game and I never cared for it and we were big Pokémon fans. Now looking back this game would be right up my alley.
Oh cool, they got Soylent Green
One of my favorite pokemon spin off games ! I hope they make a sequel sometime in the future !
Hi Matty hope all is well, excited for this one
Pokemon conquest is probably my favorite pokemon to date right beside Legends Arceus. The character designs, the combat, story arcs, it was just all incredibly fun and felt like it had a lot of replayability to me as a kid. I got attached to one of the first basic warriors you can recruit, takatora. The post game was great too!
pokemon conquest is underrated but its actually not bad for what it is and to be honest once you understand the system its really enjoyable
I remember renting this back in the day. It didn't really hook me, but I absolutely appreciate the concept!
Crazy, just picked it up and started playing today
Ain't no way he was actually sponsored by Soylent AND TOOK IT 😭
Shit had me dying when the ad read popped up
It's people!
Does…does he not know about the Soylent? THERES EVEN A GREEN ONE 💀💀💀💀
Uhhh... Nobunaga's Ambition is not Sumurai Warriors
Nobunaga Ambition is a dense strategy game akin to Civilization, released back in 1980's
Ahhh yessss perfect run time 17:38
My favorite part of the game is how every single female character is a stupidly hot bird. Like, they're all a Moltres.
I need to finish the rest of the scenarios in this
I tried this once years ago and wasn't digging it too much. But every month or so ill get the urge to play it so i will eventually, its definitely the type of thing I would enjoy it just starts a bit slow iirc.
Same. I felt it was too simplified for both Pokémon and Nobunaga, and wound up selling it back. But then every now and then I get the urge to try it again!
The post game is where it gets really good, I put probably 300+ hours into it total and playing through the main story now is a bit of a slog. Some of the post-game scenarios are quite tricky and more engaging.
Imagine Conquest game with Three Kingdoms characters
I have spent 100+ hrs in this game. So fun. Highly recommend! ❤
Pokémon conquest was my first ever Pokémon game, but last time I played it (about 10 years ago) I was way better than I am now (I was 4 at the time.)!
Soylent. The green one is people.
I loved this game, beat it twice, the trick to defeat Nobunaga was to get a Glaceon and a Garchomp for Oichi during the main story.
A reminder that Matty did not like Tactics Ogre hurts.
I still can't believe it. One of the best TRPGs of all time.
this game is quite underrated
Link is a decent mechanic
It made warriors are worth to collect
this even could explian why the main series most trainer just master one or two types
because most trainer had their limits in types except protagonist
just there still some cons
it has a bug if pokemon is out of the map may cause unmovable or invincible
also if emery too over level it's really unbeatable
also make it opposite you can make only one over-level and high morale warrior to sweep everything
and less the warriors each battle the more link you gain
this game still need further polish
but it's a fine try Pokemon need some STG
I say it was a good game it was a pokemon game that despite the different play style still felt like a pokemon game.
Still want a sequel
Played out all the kingdoms with pokemon that i liked and ended up stop playing after halfway through the ones i didnt favor, story was interesting and gameplay was hella fun, the tower u had to dodge lighting was tough for my dragons
"What is the secret of Soylent Green?"
Thanks for this really fun and in depth review.
Have you tried Disgaea? It’s the craziest strategy rpg ever and one of the most customizable games in general.
Other than the accuracy/speed mechanic, this feels like a perfect pokémon game.
such a good game. Would've been nice to choose different attacks for each pokemon

Just recently, i opened it up for the lols and saw that there was a free promo shiny rayquaza pokemon card inside 😫
Pokemon Conquest is the best game ever created. I wish they would remake it into a Nintendo Switch game, but sadly, I doubt that will ever happen.
I played like 100hrs of this game back in highschool because we found it in my friends closet and he no longer had a ds so he gave it to me.
What about replaying X2: Wolverine's revenge. Now that's a challenge
Conquest will always be one of my favorite Pokemon games ever, if only for the fact that mah boi Crobat is borderline broken in this game. Shadow Dash + Cross Poison will just destroy everything at breakneck speed if there isn't a single steel type opponent in the map.
I loved this game! Such a fun, unique take on the series.
I didn’t even know this game existed until today.
Yes, yes it is, the absolute best Pokemon spin-off, and i hope and wish for a sequal.
Literally the best Pokémon spin-off
Would love to see you cover Pokémon Ranger next!
This game was one of the big reasons I was able to get into Fire Emblem.
Since your into JRPGs, you should check out the mother series and especially mother 3 if you haven’t already, I personally would love for you to make a video on it
Bought it off eBay for like 30 bucks complete in 2018
Pokémon Warriors confirmed.
Update. With the Delta emulator being allowed on Apple Devices, more people (including myself) have the chance to play this game
Short answer: yes. Long answer: hell yes
*SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!*
Would love a switch remake/remaster of this game
I’m going to need the store you got that DM shirt to cop me one!
PLEASE make a sequel, remake, whatever
I was so good at this game. So so so good at the game. I'm gonna go find my DSI in the morning

Mad as all hell that I lost my fricking copy. I play that whole game to completion in a few sittings.
Poke Emblem? Why have I never known a tactics pokemon rpg game existed.
My most favorite pokemon game
Nobunaga and pokemon. Nice lol
Oh man how I wish this was on switch

such a banger game🙂
