The game takes place in the [[Ransei]] region. Various Pokémon from the first five generations appear in this game. The game is [[Nintendo DSi]] enhanced, allowing it to connect to {{wp|Wi-Fi Protected Access|WPA}} and {{wp|WPA2}} protected wireless networks for [[Pokémon Conquest#Downloadable stories and events|downloading stories and events]] from Wi-Fi.
 
The game has a manga adaptation titled ''[[Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition ~ Ranse's Color Picture Scroll ~]]''.
 
==Development==
''Pokémon Conquest'' was the second collaboration between Nintendo and Tecmo Koei, with the first being the Murasame Castle mode in ''Samurai Warriors 3''.  Because [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]] was a fan of ''Nobunaga's Ambition'' and Tecmo-Koei president Kou Shibasawa was a fan of ''Pokémon'', this presented an opportunity to work with each other.  Among one of the key design elements of [[Ransei]] was the fact that the first ''Nobunaga's Ambition'' game featured 17 regions, just as there were 17 different Pokémon types at the time.  Among Koei's game franchises, this is the first collaboration effort for ''Nobunaga's Ambition''; all previous collaborations had been through the ''Warriors'' series (though a true Nintendo-themed ''Warriors'' game would not arrive until ''{{zw|Hyrule Warriors}}'' years later).  In deference to this, character designs for ''Pokémon Conquest'' were primarily taken from ''Samurai Warriors 3'' as opposed to a ''Nobunaga's Ambition'' game.
 
For ''Pokémon Conquest'', each of the [[Warlord]]s' initial (Rank I) costumes are based on their default costumes from ''Samurai Warriors 3'', and an original costume when they rank up to Rank II. (The exceptions are [[Nobunaga]], where this is reversed; and [[Hideyoshi]], whose Rank I and Rank II costumes are taken from ''Samurai Warriors'' and ''Samurai Warriors 3'' respectively, while his Rank III costume is original.) There are some minor modifications in character appearances and costumes between the two games, however:
* Some characters' costumes were altered to better associate them with their Perfect Link Pokémon: for example, [[Motonari]]'s hair was turned green to better resemble {{p|Servine}}, while [[Kunoichi]]'s outfit became primarily black instead of white, in order to better associate her with {{p|Sneasel}}.
* Some characters' appearances were altered to better express their ''Samurai Warriors 3'' characterizations: for example, [[Mitsunari]], [[Kiyomasa]], and [[Masanori]] are all depicted as children in ''Pokémon Conquest'' to reinforce [[Nene]] acting as a mother of sorts to Hideyoshi's retainers.
* Almost all of the characters are depicted without their weapons, though some remain if they are not particularly "weapon-like": for example, [[Shingen]] and his iconic war fan, [[Motochika]] and his shamisen, [[Ujiyasu]] and his cane, and [[Okuni]] and her parasol.
* Some clan crests are altered to incorporate a Pokémon motif: [[Oichi]]'s costume has a number of {{i|Poké Ball}} symbols where the Azai clan crest was in her ''Samurai Warriors 3'' costume, while Yukimura's costume has Poké Balls as part of the Sanada clan crest instead of coins.
 
Similarly, the choice of Perfect Link Pokémon for a given Warlord may be influenced by their ''Samurai Warriors 3'' personality or moveset:
* Motochika's attacks are primarily based on the water element in ''Samurai Warriors 3'', hence his pairing with {{p|Dewott}}.
* [[Kanbei]]'s appearance resembling a ghost in some side story missions is the inspiration behind his pairing with {{p|Lampent}}.
* [[Tadakatsu]]'s reputation of being the ''Samurai Warriors'' series' unbeatable foe is the inspiration of pairing him with {{p|Dialga}}.
 
Of the ''Samurai Warriors 3'' cast, only four characters (Nagamasa Azai, Katsuie Shibata, Sakon Shima, and Toshiie Maeda) are not also present in ''Pokémon Conquest'', though the [[Hero]] is based on Azai.


==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
Pokémon Conquest features a turn-based strategy battle system. Up to six {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} on each side are positioned on the battlefield, one for each participating [[Warrior]], and both sides take turns moving and attacking with their Pokémon. A battle is won or lost when the side taking over the kingdom achieves or fails to achieve the victory conditions for the match within a set number of turns; some victory conditions include defeating all the opponent's Pokémon, and capturing all the banners on the field. When a battle is won, all participating Pokémon gain points to their [[Link]] with their respective Warrior. When a battle is won against an enemy [[kingdom]]'s castle, the player conquers that map. The player can recruit more Warriors by satisfying certain conditions, and thus more potential Pokémon to choose from for battle, throughout the game, often through defeating them in battle. Players may also be joined by [[Warlord]]s. The player may also save their progress at any point in time during single-player, even during a battle. There is also a multiplayer wireless mode in which two players may battle each other.
Pokémon Conquest features a turn-based strategy battle system. Up to six {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} on each side are positioned on the battlefield, one for each participating [[Warrior]], and both sides take turns moving and attacking with their Pokémon. Each Pokémon has a single move. A battle is won or lost when the engaging army manages or fails to achieve the victory conditions, which vary by location, within a numbered amount of turns, which also vary by location. When a battle is fought, the strength of the [[link]] (which is this game's analogy to [[experience]] points) between participating Pokémon and their respective Warriors will usually increase. Battles can be fought in {{DL|Kingdom location|wild Pokémon kingdom locations}}, or against other kingdoms, which are conquered upon victory. Free Warriors (including [[Warlord]]s) can be recruited to the player's army if they are defeated in a way that meets one of several {{DL|Warrior|Recruitment|recruitment criteria}}.  


Pokémon in the game can grow in strength by increasing their Link with their Warrior. Depending on how well matched a pair is, the maximum level of the Link between the two varies, with most Warriors only able to achieve a 100% or Perfect Link with a single species of Pokémon. Aside from growing more powerful, Pokémon may evolve when their Link reaches a high enough percentage, though there are also Pokémon which evolve through other conditions such as the use of specific items. Warriors can also establish links with Pokémon other than the one they started with, though only one can be used by each Warrior in a given battle at a time. Certain Warriors will have a more difficult time finding their best Link than others, as some Pokémon only appear during a [[Pokémon outbreak|Swarm]]. However, through the use of a password these Pokémon can be Linked with much easier.
Pokémon in the game can grow in strength by increasing their link with their Warrior. A Pokémon's move will strengthen as the link increases, signified by +1 (20% link), +2 (40% link), +3 (60% link), +4 (80% link), or +S (100% link), being added to the move's name. Certain moves (namely recoil moves, health-draining moves, and multi-strike moves) behave differently when they reach a rank of +S. Depending on how well matched a pair is, the maximum value of the link between the two varies, with most Warriors only able to achieve a 100% or Perfect Link with a single species of Pokémon. Aside from growing more powerful, Pokémon may evolve when their link reaches a high enough percentage, though there are also Pokémon which evolve through other conditions such as the use of specific [[List of items (Conquest)|items]]. Warriors can also establish links with Pokémon other than the one they started with, though only one can be used by each Warrior in a given battle at a time. Certain Warriors will have a more difficult time finding their Perfect Link than others, as some Pokémon only appear on special, random occasions. However, through the use of a password these Pokémon can be found much more easily. Legendary Pokémon, which are only compatible with one specific Warlord each, all have their own specific criteria for appearing.


The game makes use of the seventeen Pokémon [[type]]s and their respective weaknesses, resistances, and immunities. Pokémon also have various [[Ability|Abilities]], many the same as in the main series games, as well as some unique new additions. Warriors also have [[Warrior Skill]]s that can be used once per battle, which have various effects such as powering up or healing Pokémon. Warrior can also equip items, which can provide additional effects such as stat boosts or can be used during battle.
The game makes use of the seventeen Pokémon [[type]]s as of [[Generation V]] and their respective weaknesses, resistances, and immunities. Pokémon also have various [[Ability|Abilities]], many the same as in the main series games, and many unique new additions. Warriors also have [[Warrior Skill]]s that can be used once per battle, which have various effects such as powering up or healing Pokémon. Warriors can also equip items, which can provide additional effects such as stat increases or in-battle effects.


Warriors can only take one action per month, with the exception of battles in which an opposing kingdom challenges the player. This means a Warrior who is picked to buy from shops or merchants cannot be chosen to battle or mine for gold afterwards, as they have used up their action for the month, and the same is said for any other executed action, including [[Ponigiri]] shops and challenges to neighboring kingdoms. In the case of purchasing from shops, the action is only taken if the player actually buys something and is not used up for simply browsing.
Aside from battling, Warriors can perform other actions within their kingdom, such as buying items at the {{DL|Kingdom location|Shop}} and [[Kingdom location|mining for gold]]. However, Warriors can only make one action per month. This means a Warrior who is picked to buy from a Shop cannot be chosen to battle or mine for gold afterwards, as they have used up their action for the month, and the same is said for any other executed action. In the case of purchasing from Shops, the action only counts if the player actually buys or sells something, meaning that one can browse without using up the turn.
Besides Shops and mines, various other [[kingdom location|location]]s are available per kingdom, such as [[Ponigiri]] Shops. Feeding a Pokémon these will increase its {{DL|Statistic|Energy}}. Warriors can also battle at wild Pokémon kingdom locations or neighboring enemy kingdoms. A maximum of 6 Warriors can be present in one kingdom, and Warriors can be transported between the player's kingdoms.


Players can choose to [[delegate]] by picking one of three options: Train (increase Link), Search (recruit more allies), or Develop (increase gold and spend on leveling locations up). Various facilities are also available per kingdom, such as shops, in which the player can buy items to use on Pokémon. Traveling merchants may also visit on occasion. These shops have higher prices but offer evolution items as well as high quality supplies. There are also Ponigiri shops. Feeding a Pokémon these will increase its energy, which affects its performance in battle. Sometimes extra Ponigiri will be offered. If the Pokémon eats too much of it, its energy will decrease. If the Pokémon doesn't eat too much, the energy level will be maximized.
Also, instead of using up every Warrior's turn, the player can choose to delegate a kingdom by picking one of three options: Train (increase link), Search (recruit more allies), or Develop (increase gold and spend on leveling kingdom locations up). All Warriors who have not used up their action during the month by the player will automatically Train, Search, or Develop at the end of the month. All kingdoms the player controls, besides the player's main kingdom, can be delegated.


When the player does not use a recruited Warrior in a kingdom for a certain number of months, the Warrior will become dissatisfied and an angry face will appear on their profile page. Once they are used in the kingdom, the angry face disappears during the next month. If the recruited warrior isn't used for two months after the angry face appears, the warrior will leave the army.  
Random kingdom events will also occur at times. Some events may occur depending on the player's current funds or an item in the inventory. Sometimes bandits will steal an item or a Warrior's Pokémon, or a traveling merchant may arrive selling rare items. [[Weather]] is another occurrence that may raise the Energy of Pokémon depending on their type; for example, a heat wave raises the Energy of {{type|Fire}} Pokémon. Kingdom events which occur at the start of a month, such as buying items from a traveling merchant, do not use up a Warrior's action for the month.


Random events will also occur at predetermined times. Some events may occur depending on the player's current funds or an item in the inventory. Sometimes bandits will steal an item or someone's Pokémon; this gives the player an optional fight. [[Weather conditions|Weather]] is another occurrence that may raise the energy of Pokémon depending on their type; for example, a heat wave raises the energy of {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
Players may save their progress at any point in time during single-player mode, even during a battle. Doing so also updates the Gallery information for each Warrior in the player's army, provided the Warrior has been registered to the Gallery previously.


==Plot==
===Multiplayer mode===
There is also a multiplayer local wireless mode in which two players may battle each other. In this, the host can decide to place no limit on the Pokémon's link (in which case, the highest registered value in the Gallery is chosen), or can choose to restrict the maximum link between 10-100, in multiples of 10. The host also chooses the battlefield, and allocates whether the player will attack or defend (the host can also choose "random", in which case, the player is randomly assigned to attack or defend.)

Legend has it that the one who will be able to conquer all seventeen kingdoms of Ransei will bring the return of the region's {{p|Arceus|creator}}. Players begin in the story known as {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest stories|The Legend of Ransei}}.


The player starts off in the Nation of [[Aurora]] with their partner {{p|Eevee}}, having just become the most recent [[Warlord]]. They then meet up with [[Mitsunari]], [[Kiyomasa]], and [[Masanori]], who taunt the player, stating that they aren't ready to be a Warlord. At this point, two warriors from the neighboring nation of [[Ignis]] quickly challenge the player to battle. [[Oichi]] joins in the battle to support the player.
The player (as either the [[Hero]] or [[Heroine]]) starts off in the nation of [[Aurora]] with their partner {{p|Eevee}}, having just become the most recent [[Warlord]]. They then meet up with [[Mitsunari]], [[Kiyomasa]], and [[Masanori]], who taunt the player, stating that they aren't ready to be a Warlord. At this point, two Warriors from the neighboring nation of [[Ignis]] quickly challenge the player to battle. [[Oichi]] joins in the battle to support the player.


After defeating the duo, Oichi relays the details of the legend of Ransei, and sets the player off on a quest to unite the 17 nations. The player first challenges [[Hideyoshi]]'s nation of Ignis, then moves on to battle [[Motonari]] in [[Greenleaf]] and [[Motochika]] in [[Fontaine]]. Along the way, the player learns how to recruit other Warlords and link with [[wild Pokémon]].

From there, the player is able to conquer [[Violight]], led by [[Ginchiyo]]; [[Chrysalia]], led by [[Yoshimoto]]; and [[Pugilis]], led by [[Yoshihiro]]. At this point, the nations of [[Terrera]] and [[Illusio]], led by [[Kenshin]] and [[Shingen]] respectively, become available for conquering. However, when the player goes to challenge one of them, they will not accept the challenge, stating that the player is not yet ready to face them, and turn the player's forces back. At this point, whichever nation the player went to will send forces back to the nation in which the player resides (either Pugilis or Chrysalia), and the player must defend their nation from the attack.

Upon a successful defense, the player will undergo a warrior transformation, allowing them to successfully challenge the nation. After defeating either Kenshin or Shingen's forces, both will join the player on their quest to unite the nations. At this point, [[Nobunaga]] himself appears before the player, stating his own aims to conquer Ransei (and in doing so, debates with Oichi, who is revealed to be his sister, about his goals).

Following this, the player can then conquer the nations of [[Cragspur]], led by [[Ujiyasu]]; [[Avia]], led by [[Masamune]]; [[Viperia]], led by [[Nene]]; and [[Yaksha]], led by [[Kotarō]]. Upon defeating one of these nations, [[Keiji]] will appear and give the player three Evolution stones—the [[Fire Stone]], [[Water Stone]], and [[Thunder Stone|Thunderstone]]—which will allow the player to evolve their {{p|Eevee}} into {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}} or {{p|Flareon}} if they so choose.

After defeating the rest of the area's Warlords, the three nations of Nobunaga's highest aides will appear: [[Spectra]], led by [[]]; [[Valora]], led by [[Ieyasu]]; and [[Nixtorm]], led by [[Mitsuhide]]. Upon defeat of these three, the final nation, [[Dragnor]], appears, and the player is able to battle Nobunaga himself.

Upon conquering the final nation, a cutscene will play in which several pillars of light shoot out from across the nation and converge on a tower in Dragnor. When the player enters the tower, they find the legendary Pokémon {{p|Arceus}} awaiting them. Arceus tells the player to link with it, and the battle begins. When the player successfully links with Arceus, Nobunaga appears and reveals that he planned all along for this to happen. He secretly wanted to get Arceus appear so that he could strike it down and prove to the region that the legend was unimportant. Nobunaga, along with Nō, Ieyasu, Mitsuhide, Hideyoshi, and [[Ranmaru]], then challenge the player's party to the final battle.

Upon defeating Nobunaga, the player brings peace to the land of Ransei, allowing each Warlord leader to rule their respective nations once again. Arceus goes off, telling the player it will appear again when the time is right.

==Localization Changes==
* The game's title was changed to remove mention of the {{wp|Nobunaga's Ambition}} series.
* Some character names were changed:
** Aya-Gozen's name was shortened to {{OBP|Aya|Conquest}}.
** Nōhime's name was shortened to [[Nō]].
** Inahime's name was shortened to [[Ina]].
** Kaihime's name was shortened to {{OBP|Kai|Conquest}}. However, this caused a name conflict with a Warrior also named Kai, so that warrior's name was changed to [[Shimoyama]].
** Jōun's name was changed to [[Shōun]].
* Several [[Warrior Skill]]s and [[List of Abilities (Conquest)|Pokémon Abilities]] were renamed, due to containing Japanese or Chinese terms that have no direct translation. However, "Fūrin Kazan" remained unchanged.
* The sprites for the {{DL|Kingdom location|Alchemist}} [[Kingdom location]] were changed to feature a bottle instead of a pill on the building's roof.

After the first story, ''The Legend of Ransei'', eight other stories open up, allowing the player to play through several different stories as different characters. Each episode has a specific goal that must be complete in order to clear it, ranging from uniting the region to defeating a certain number of warlords to collecting a certain number of Pokémon. Notably, the player won't be allowed to replay ''The Legend of Ransei'' despite being able to replay all other stories. Instead, players can only unlock a final story after clearing any 33 stories. This story is a slightly altered version of the first story.

Alternatively, these additional stories and events may be unlocked through entering passwords, without requiring Wi-Fi. These passwords do not affect the 64-slot limit for Pokémon passwords, and will not be recognized if the corresponding story or event has already been downloaded.

==Kingdom events==
==Kingdom events==
Certain events can happen in kingdoms that will have an effect on the kingdom or the game.
Certain events can occur in kingdoms at random or when certain conditions are met that will affect gameplay. These events are predetermined several months in advance. Not all events are available in every story.
 
===[[File:Conquest Warrior M 14 icon.png|link=]] Messenger===
A Messenger will sometimes appear at the start of the month. The Messenger will alert the player when there is an approaching invasion, when there is a rare Pokémon appearing in a kingdom, and when certain kingdom events appear.
 
===[[File:Conquest Warrior M 13 icon.png|link=]] Professor===
A Professor will offer advice about basic game mechanics once every story during May of Year 1. The next month, June of Year 1, will be the first month that enemy armies are able to attack the player's kingdoms.
 
===[[File:Conquest Warrior F 03 icon.png|link=]][[File:Conquest Warrior M 18 icon.png|link=]] Traveling merchant===
One of the traveling merchants may visit, offering a large selection of rare items. These merchants have higher prices but offer evolution items as well as high-quality supplies.

===New Year's celebration===
[[File:Conquest background fireworks.png|right|thumb|New Year's celebration]]
If the player owns {{DL|List of items (Conquest)|Fireworks}}, a New Year's celebration will be held in January of the new year. This will strengthen the link between Warrior and Pokémon in all kingdoms the player rules over.  
{{-}}


===Weather===
===Weather===
There can be a rainstorm or a heat wave in a a few kingdoms. When it is raining, storm clouds will appear over affected kingdoms.
Weather may impact some kingdoms at certain times of year. Affected kingdoms will be signified by an icon of the weather above them. Pokémon matching the weather's type in affected kingdoms will have their Energy maximized.
* In May, rainstorms (indicated by a rain cloud) may occur, maximizing the Energy of {{t|Water}} Pokémon in affected kingdoms.
* In August, heat waves (indicated by a sun) may occur, maximizing the Energy of {{t|Fire}} Pokémon in affected kingdoms.
* In November, snowstorms (indicated by a snowflake) may occur, maximizing the Energy of {{t|Ice}} Pokémon in affected kingdoms.


===Farmers===
<gallery>
Sometimes a Farmer will show up and ask for money.

===Messenger===
===[[File:Conquest Warrior M 23 icon.png|link=]][[File:Conquest Warrior F 06 icon.png|link=]] Farmers===
The Messenger will sometimes appear at the start of the month. The messanger will alert the player of an approaching invasion, when there is a rare Pokémon appearing in a kingdom, a traveling merchant has journeyed to one of the player's kingdoms, and professor wishes to give the player information about game mechanics, or a Warrior wants to go on a training trip.
Sometimes a Farmer will appear and ask for a monetary donation of 1000, 2500 or 5000 [[File:Conquest gold.png]] gold, whichever is the highest amount the player can afford at the time.
 
If the player donates to the farmers three times, they will hold a festival the month after the third donation as thanks for the support. This will increase the Energy of Pokémon in the main Warlord's kingdom by three levels. The farmers will also give the player three rare gift items, with the rarity of the items increasing with larger donations:
* Donations of [[File:Conquest gold.png]] 1000 will yield items available in Lv. 2 {{DL|Kingdom location|Shop}}s.
* Donations of [[File:Conquest gold.png]] 2500 will yield items available in Lv. 3 Shops.
* Donations of [[File:Conquest gold.png]] 5000 will yield single-use held items and equipment that can only be bought from the traveling merchant.
The amount donated the third time determines the rarity of the items received.
 
If the farmers are rejected three times, they will instead rebel, decreasing the Energy of Pokémon present in the main Warlord's kingdom by three levels.

</gallery>
 
===Cold===
Warriors may be affected by a cold, which will render the Warriors unable to perform any actions. The cold may last several months and can spread to Warriors in adjacent kingdoms. Colds can be cured with {{DL|List of items (Conquest)|Cold Medicine}}.
 
===Hay Fever===
Warriors may be affected by hay fever, which will render the Warriors unable to perform any actions. The hay fever may last several months. Hay fever can be cured with {{DL|List of items (Conquest)|Hayfever Pills}}.


===Attractive kingdom===
===Attractive kingdom===
In a random one of the player's kingdoms, Warriors from other kingdoms will come to that kingdom.
Warriors from other kingdoms will visit one of the player's kingdoms, where they can be battled and recruited.
 
This event has three variations depending on the season:
* In April, flowers will bloom.
* In August, a summer festival will be held (but only if the player owns {{DL|List of items (Conquest)|Fireworks}}).
* In October, the leaves will turn orange.
 
<gallery>

Conquest background fireworks.png | Summer festival
Conquest background autumn leaves.png | Autumn leaves
</gallery>
 
===Full kingdom===
When the number of Warriors in the player's army reaches 10, 30, or 50, the Warriors will celebrate and the Energy of their Pokémon will increase by three levels.
 
===[[File:Conquest Warrior M 15 icon.png|link=]][[File:Conquest Warrior F 02 icon.png|link=]] Thieves===
A gang of bandits may appear, with one of three possible scenarios. The bandits' army contains the same Pokémon and Warriors in all three cases.
* The bandits will steal an item belonging to the player's army, and must be defeated in order to recover the stolen item.
* Farmers will discover a rare item, but the bandits will attempt to steal it, and must be defeated to receive the item.
* The bandits will kidnap a Princess's {{p|Lilligant}}, and must be defeated in order to receive a reward item from the Princess. In the event that the player does not manage to defeat the bandits, or simply lets them escape without battling, the Princess will still get her Lilligant back. However the thieves will retain the reward item.
 
===Training trip===
[[File:Conquest background training letter.png|right|thumb|A letter from a Warrior on a training trip.]]
A Warrior in the player's army may ask for permission to go on a training trip, after which (if permission is granted) they will be absent for several months. If the Warrior travels with a Pokémon with a Perfect Link, the Warrior will send the player letters while gone. Along with the letter, the Warrior will also send a rare item which cannot be bought from Shops (such as Razor Claw and Ornate Helmet). After several months, the Warrior will return with their Pokémon, with their [[Link]] increased by 15%, rounded down.
 
If the Warrior travels with a Pokémon which does not have a Perfect Link, the Warrior will not send letters and will come back early with a new Pokémon met and linked with during the trip.
{{-}}
 
===Losing a battle ===
When a battle is lost, a Warrior may go on a trip without permission from the player. The Warrior will return some time later with three rare items.<!--possibly exclusive to Warlords-->
 
===Disappearing Pokémon===
A Pokémon that shares a 100% link with its Warrior may briefly disappear, returning with one or more items.<!--possibly exclusive to Warlords-->
 
===Dissatisfied Warriors===
When the player does not use a recruited Warrior in a kingdom for a certain number of months, the Warrior will become dissatisfied and an angry face will appear on their profile page. Once they are used in the kingdom, the angry face disappears during the next month. If the recruited Warrior isn't used for a few months after the angry face appears, the Warrior will leave the army.
 
===Warriors not in battle===
Warriors that have not been used in a battle against an opposing army for a while may assist in war efforts by giving 3 {{DL|List of items (Conquest)|Max Potion}}s, {{DL|List of items (Conquest)|Sylph Wings}}, {{DL|List of items (Conquest)|Siren Song}}s, {{DL|List of items (Conquest)|Double Play}}s, {{DL|List of items (Conquest)|Twice Lucky}}s or {{DL|List of items (Conquest)|Winged Boot}}s.
 
===[[File:Conquest Warrior M 02 icon.png|link=]] Strengthened opposing armies===
[[File:Conquest background Gabite officer.png|right|thumb|The Gabite officer, rallying opposing forces.]]
When the player has conquered at least half of the available kingdoms and the strength of the player's army is considerably higher than opposing armies, civilians from opposing nations will notice and the strength of their army will increase. This may involve an Officer with a Gabite, who will considerably strengthen the armies of nations adjacent to the player's kingdoms.
 
In a similar yet distinct event, when the strength of the player's army is higher than opposing armies, all enemy kingdoms (adjacent or otherwise) will have their strength increased to a small extent.
{{-}}
 
===Four guardians===
[[File:Conquest background four guardians.png|right|thumb|Four silhouettes representing the guardians.]]
When the player has conquered at least half of all available nations, four Warriors including Warlords are made guardians of one stat each (Power, Wisdom, Charisma, and Capacity), appointed to the Warrior with the highest values for each particular stat. This maximizes the Energy of their Pokémon, and prevents them from leaving the army.
{{-}}


==Passwords==
==Passwords==
Certain Pokémon will appear in one kingdom the month after their password is typed in the Password section. After a password is used, it may not be used again. However, some Pokémon, such as Pikachu, have multiple passwords, which allow for more than one appearance. This is due to passwords occupying one of 64 slots. When a slot is taken up, a password that would use that slot cannot be used.  
Certain Pokémon will appear in one kingdom the month after their password is typed in the Password section. After a password is used, it may not be used again unless save data is erased.
 
However, some Pokémon, such as Pikachu, have multiple passwords, which allow for more than one appearance. This is because each password has a pre-assigned slot ID from 0 to 63, inclusive. As long as a password is valid and its slot is not occupied by a previously-used password, the password will be recognized. However, once a specific password slot has been filled, any other passwords that map to that slot will prompt a "password already used" message, even if that password has never been entered before.


===Official Passwords===
These passwords were released through official sources, such as news posts or promotions.

==Trivia==
* This is the only Pokémon game since [[Hey You, Pikachu!]] to only be released in Japanese and English.
* Had this game not existed, the game ''{{few|Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE}}'' would have been proposed as a Fire Emblem/Pokémon crossover game instead.<ref>http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2016/08/20/tokyo-mirage-sessions-was-originally-going-to-be-a-pok-233-mon-crossover.aspx</ref>
* If the game detects it is being played on an emulator or flashcard, the game will lock when booted. {{fact}}
* This is the only Pokémon spin-off game which is [[Nintendo DSi]]-enhanced.
* This was the last Pokémon spin-off game released for the [[Nintendo DS]] in Japan and North America.
