A Poketactical RPG This Way Comes


It's been a while since I've posted, but some of the most exciting Pokemon news have come down the pipe.  As much as I love Pokemon as a JRPG and the hook of catching them all...still trying to catch all the older gen Pokemon on Black & White...Nintendo has released some news in Japan that have me frothing with excitement.  In their first partnership, the Pokemon Company and KOEI jumped the gun from their announcement at Jump Festa and burst into the scene with their mega-team-up announcement: Pokemon+Nobunaga's Ambition.  Strange?  Yes...Exciting?  YES!  As a fan of tactical RPGs and Pokemon, this is a match made in heaven.  
Not a lot of details have been announced for this title, but a teaser trailer has been concocted.  How will Pokemon play a role in traditional Japanese folklore?  Will this be the big step into Pokemon growing up?  Will this even release outside of Japan??  Stay tuned and in the meantime froth over this trailer...
