Pokémon Conquest: Difference between revisions

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 [[Warlord]], and both sides take turns moving and attacking with their Pokémon. A battle is won or lost when one side achieves the victory conditions for the match; some victory conditions include defeating all the opponent's Pokémon, and capturing all the flags on the field. When a battle is won, all participating Pokémon gain points to their [[Link]] with their respective Warlords. The player can recruit more Warlords, and thus more potential Pokémon to choose from for battle, throughout the game, often through defeating them in battle. There is also a multiplayer wireless mode in which two players may battle each other.

Pokémon in the game can grow in strength by increasing their Link with their Warlord. Depending on how well matched a pair is, the maximum level of the Link between the two varies, with most Warlords only able to achieve a 100% or Best 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. Warlords can also establish links with Pokémon other than the one they started with, though only one can be used by each Warlord in a given battle at a time.

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. Warlords also have [[Warlord Skill]]s that can be used once per battle, which have various effects such as powering up or healing Pokémon. Warlords can also equip items, which can provide additional effects such as stat boosts or can be used during battle.

When a battle is won against an enemy kingdom's castle, the player conquers that map. Players also 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. There are also [[Ponigiri]] shops. Feeding a Pokémon these will increase its energy, which affects its performance in battle.
