Commander Keene posted:It does sort of look like that, but it seems pretty out of place if that's the case. And considering it's at the beginning of the line, where Crosspiece has been putting the character portraits, it looks like a case of forgotten brackets or something rather than some sort of Internet in-joke. Why not both?

The ! prefix is how I denote mugshots with my SSLP tools (i.e. !SYSTEM for the narration portrait), and how Crosspeice chose to denote his when I gave him my tools. I'm gonna guess that should be !kunoichi1.

It is absolutely a typo, but if there's like a mistake or two I usually don't bother sending Ragnar an updated pastebin after I've sent her the updated pastebin fixing all the previous mistakes I noticed. It'll be a quick fix when I get this LP onto the archive.

I can at least respect that they let you carry over links and such from story to story and you're meant to be leveling people up all through the various stories. That's the intent, right?

     Part 13: Triple Story Time   Welcome to an update where instead of moving towards the final story, I'm gonna do 8 optional stories instead because I'm completely crazy! Thankfully, quite a few of them are pretty quick and interesting, so let's finally dive into the stories of Mitsunari, Kiyomasa and Masanori. Ransei  Unable to resolve their differences, the three went their separate ways, each to a different kingdom. That was not to be the last they would see of each other, however...   But they are no match for me! I'll show them who's boss! For the first time in the LP, we've got control of Mitsunari and can finally, FINALLY, talk about him, since he never bothered to show up otherwise. Ishida Mitsunari was a samurai and the second son of Ishida Masatsugu, a retainer of the Azai clan. When he was young, he met Hideyoshi when he was daimyō of Nagahama. He joined his new lord in various battles and when Hideyoshi rose in power, so too did Mitsunari. He became a financial manager and became one of the bugyō, one of five administrators of Hideyoshi's government. He was known for his rigid character, but didn't get on well with various daimyōs that were good warriors. After Hideyoshi's death, his relations worsened and the big question was whether Ieyasu could be relied as a supporter of the Toyotomi government. He wasn't and so Mitsunari organized an army led by Mōri Terumoto to face Ieyasu in the Battle of Sekigahara. When Ieyasu emerged victorious, Mitsunari fled, but was captured by villagers and was beheaded in Kyoto.  So if you were coming into these stories hoping to get the three Warlords' Perfect Link and evolutions, then you'll be disappointed, as none of those Pokemon can appear in these stories, so you'll have to do it in other stories. Well, only Masanori only appeared outside of these stories, so we're gonna force these Pokemon to appear.   Easy enough. However, uh, these AR codes force everything to be a certain Pokemon, so be careful using them and turn it off as soon as you can, or poo poo gets ruined super fast.   Since there's only 4 kingdoms, these stories end pretty quick, but we might as well see what these guys can do in general since we've never been able to really use them until now. Pawniard is disappointed in you.   Like with Brendan, that white fluff is a hat, though he does have spikes poking out of his skull. Mitsunari evolves when Pawniard or Bisharp reaches 60% link.   Hey, Bisharp... you seem even stronger than before. You can feel the bond we have, right? I'm counting on your power, Bisharp... Ow the edge. Pawniard evolves when its Attack reaches 118.  While you can't recruit the other two in these stories, you can get help from Oichi. Otherwise, we're all done here. Good times.  ...and yours aren't big enough. But I suppose you could be of some help to me nonetheless. Maybe serving under me would help those impoverished brains of yours to grow a little bit. Hmph. He's insufferable. Look, if you want our help, just ask us.  This is why I set out on my own in the first place! Don't worry! Come on, come with us... we'll go to the beach and have some fun!  Cheers for telling us this story was pointless. Well, technically it was Optional, but whatever.  It did however unlock the Optional story of Kiyomasa and the Pointless story of Oichi. Guess which one we're going for.  But I haven't forgotten what they did to me! And now's the time to make them pay!  Second verse, same as the first. We'll just skip Axew and just cheat a Fraxure in, might as well speed things up more.   I love teenage tusk dragon, Iris's Axew never evolving was a mistake.   Ow the edge. Kiyomasa evolves when Fraxure or Haxorus reach 60%. Katō Kiyomasa was a daimyō who entered Hideyoshi's service at a young age, as his mother was the cousin of Hideyoshi's mother. He fought in numerous battles and became one of the Seven Spears of Shizugatake, as well as one of the main forces of the Invasion of Korea, taking over Seoul from the Korean king and keeping two princes hostage to force lower ranking officials to surrender. He was a renowned castle builder and defended them well, though these exploits never reached Hideyoshi, due to Kiyomasa's superior and rival, Mitsunari. After Hideyoshi's death, Kiyomasa clashed with Mitsunari and was thus drawn to Ieyasu. He did not participate in the Battle of Sekigahara, believing the Toyotomi clan would fall without Ieyasu's help, though he still sided with Ieyasu and was thus rewarded after the war. He worked thereafter as mediator between Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideyori until his death due to illness.Also, here's a cool fact: Kiyomasa hated Christianity, so during one battle in Korea, he ordered his soldiers to cut open the stomachs of pregnant Christian women and slice off the heads of the child.    Hey, Haxorus... I feel an even greater strength when I'm with you now... do you know what I mean? Fun fact, Kiyomasa has a different pose when evolved for this emotion sprite and is the only Warlord to do so, as he had his arms folded before. Anyway, Fraxure evolves into Haxorus when its Attack reaches 173.  And now, it has led to us staking our castles on the argument. All I did was cause a lot of trouble for the people of my kingdom... and now that it's over, I don't feel any better... Eh? Why are you looking so sad all by yourself? Hmph. I... I can't stand you seeing you all alone like this. Come on, let's go to the seaside! You like the seaside, right? I don't see the attraction myself, but if that's what's been decided... Two down, one to go. Guess what we'll be doing in this story.  I'll show those brainiacs who's boss! I'll show them I was right! Thankfully Masanori decided to appear last update, so he already has his Perfect Link line, so let's get going.    Right, Krokorok! I'm counting on ya! Sandile evolves into Krokorok when its Attack reaches 80.  What a couple of good boys. They're about to become best boys though.   Owwwwwwwwww the edge. The best evolution in the game, no question. Masanori evolves when he reaches 60% link with Krokorok or Krookodile.   Krookodile... you're even more incredible than before... it's unbelievable! Right, Krookodile! I'm counting on ya! Krokorok evolves into Krooooooooooookodile when its Attack reaches 110. So yeah, Fukushima Masanori was a daimyō that was possibly a cousin of Hideyoshi. He participated in a few battles, but in the Battle of Shizugatake, he took the head of general Ogasato Ieyoshi and became one of the Seven Spears, along with Kiyomasa. He was part of Hideyoshi's Kyūshū campaign and became a daimyō soon after, receiving the fief of Imabari. He also went to Korea and received distinction for taking the city of Ch'ongju. Following that, he was tasked with hunting down Toyotomi Hidetsugu, who attempted to plot a coup against Hideyoshi, and ensured he committed seppuku at Mt. Koya. When the Battle of Sekigahara loomed, he sided with Ieyasu to ensure the survival of his domain and was rewarded for his loyalty. Too bad, let's rock.   ...heh. I knew you'd forget. It's embarrassing to even talk about it... we were arguing about who would get to buy the last ponigiri in the shop... I wish I could forget as easily as you did... Oh, that was it? Well, never mind. How about we go to the seaside? Yeah, that sounds good. Hmph. I won't refuse. Well that was a fun distraction (though I wish they never told us why they started arguing), but now we need to start a real important story, trust me.  And while this was going on...   Friends...? Ohh! I know! If I can get some Warriors to join my army, then I can order them to play Pokemari with me! It's a plan with no drawbacks!  We've now seen all the different objectives these stories have, getting 40 Warriors isn't difficult, a bit faster than 100 Pokemon, but you still need to take over like half the region.   Finally, we can evolve Yoshimoto. He evolves when he has 55% link with Pineco and, I guess, Forretress. I would seriously advise using Pineco instead as we'll soon see. Now that we have some actual Warlords to fight for us...   Forretress... I feel an even greater strength with you now... do you know what I mean? I'm still counting on you! Pineco evolves when its Defense reaches 73. So why should you just stick with Pineco with Yoshimoto? Well, it's all because of Forretress's move Gyro Ball. Yeeeeeeeeeep. It has the same effect as the main games, the lower your Speed compared to the enemy, the more damage you do. See, that's really bad in this game, as it's not particularly difficult to become much stronger and faster against the opponent, unless they get inspired by Gabite guy. Therefore, the stronger you get, the weaker Forretress gets, unless you get paralyzed, but that's not something you can rely on. Coupled with Yoshimoto's really bad Skill and it makes him the worst Warlord in the game. Thankfully, you don't have to use his Perfect Link and can go for Scizor, maybe, which has a 90% cap. Though where's the fun in that? But it doesn't matter, we're not gonna use him anymore anyway, so let's finish the story without him!  Like with Pawniard and Fraxure, we'll be encountering Eevee TOTALLY legit. We'll properly go over all the Eeveelutions next update when we'll have all of them. Eevee evolves into Espeon when it has 70% link and you perform an action in Illusio.  I'm coming too! Please, let me come with you as well!  Now this is a sight I'd like people from other kingdoms to see! I have an idea! I will run to the neighboring kingdoms and let all there know of this beauty. They're sure to come running! Come on, Beedrill, let's go! That was a pretty cute event, but since we already have Keiji from conquering Yaksha and evolved the three kids, there's no point to these events anymore. Speaking of Keiji, let's get his Perfect Link, for important reasons.    Bastiodon... you're even stronger than you were before... it's like this is fate! When you and I are together, Bastiodon, no one can stop us! Shieldon evolves when its Defense reaches 113. We'll evolve Keiji later.   That is why you were doing battle...? Hmm... but you're pretty handy out there on the battlefield, Lord Yoshimoto. Ohh?! Lord Kenshin! Lord Shingen! We must play Pokemari together! Pokemari brings peace to people's hearts. Ohh, if everyone played it, the world would be a much better place! And Pokemari became known across the whole world... though that's really another story. Pokemari for a Gen 8 minigame.      Next bunch of stories we'll be going for are the Wi-Fi (and password) exclusive stories. They're not particularly interesting, or have anything unique about them, but hey might as well. It does mean we can play as Keiji whenever, instead of going for ones where he's Yaksha's Warlord.  Just as rumors concerning the missing Warlord were spreading... the kingdom of Yaksha received a visit...  You need to find a replacement, fast. Huh? Me? No way, I'm just a drifter. I just wander from kingdom to kingdom following my nose. That's the life for me. Having said that, though, these people are in a jam. I guess I could take over, just until they find a permanent replacement. And I think the first thing I'll do as Warlord is start gathering some Pokemon. This place needs a bit of extra life. I think a hundred Pokemon or so should do the trick. Alright, let's conquer the region. And get some Pokemon along the way, I guess.   Oh baby, hello there. Keiji evolves when he reaches 70% link with Bastiodon. Maeda Keiji was a samurai under Oda Nobunaga, along with his uncle, Maeda Toshihisa. Keiji was supposed to inherit the Maeda family headship, but Nobunaga replaced Toshihisa with Maeda Toshiie, preventing that, causing Keiji to quarrel with his uncle. While in Kyoto, Keiji befriended Naoe Kanetsugu and joined the Uesugi clan in their battles, especially in the invasion of Aizu. While the attack failed, because of Keiji's skill in the rear guard, the Uesugi forces were able to retreat intact.Despite this, he was unable to participate in Hideyoshi's Kyūshū campaign for being too wild. He was present in the battle against the Mogami clan, as part of the larger clash between the Tokugawa and Uesugi clans, and was able to break through enemy lines with only a few riders, shattering their formation. When the Uesugi clan moved to the Yonezawa Domain, Keiji stayed with them as a retainer.   Word is, it seems incredibly powerful! I wonder what kind of Pokemon it could be... How interesting! I think I'd better go take a look. We're not done with legendaries just yet, as Keiji can get one!   It's one of the Swords of Justice. This actually has some real life truth to it, Keiji's mount, Matsukaze (wind in the pines), was a finely bred horse, but refused to let anyone ride him. Keiji managed to tame him, since they had similar personalities, and became inseparable, Matsukaze being strong enough to carry his master's large frame for days.    I can tell you and I are going to do some real damage together! Since we can get Azai in this story, might as well get another Eeveelution. Eevee evolves into Jolteon when it finishes a battle holding a Thunderstone. Only 3 more to get!  I'm a drifter, see. I don't like being tied down. Not to people, and not to kingdoms. It's not easy sometimes, but it's the only life I know. Looks like the people here don't need me anymore. Time for me to hit the road!  Wasn't that fun? Doing the Wi-Fi stories don't do anything, it just lets you play as characters you wouldn't be able to otherwise... which begs the question as to why they're locked behind this in the first place. Ah whatever, thinking about Pokemon events is too annoying. Unfortunately, Okuni's story is just another Junior Warlord one, so off to conquer we go!   Well... okay. I guess there'll be lots of guys taking part in this contest too, right? Yes, indeed. It would appear that many male Warriors of great renown are participat- Oh, great! In that case... I'm definitely doing it!  So begins thirsty girl's adventure.    Volcarona... something feels different from how it did before, you know... does it to you, too? Let's stay together, Volcarona! I left Okuni's evolution til now so there's actually something to go over, as conquering Ransei for like the 5th time has really lost its lustre. Okuni evolves when she reaches 65% link with Larvesta or Volcarona. And with that, we've evolved every single Warlord in the game. Yaaaaaaaay! Wasn't it all worth it? Phew, let's not conquer Ransei for a while now, yeah?  It's just... there are probably loads of wonderful men in Ransei that I haven't met yet... I know! I'll go on a journey! That way I'm sure to meet my soul mate! Oh, I can't wait! Alright, the last special story. Oh thank god it's the Beauty Contest.   Is anyone going to notice...? But I don't want to ruin the contest. Everyone in Ransei is so excited, after all. If only Lord Nobunaga were here... but he has gone away, entrusting me with the castle. Well, there is only one thing for it! I must battle as if my very life depended on it! Well, while Ranmaru looks like a girl, we must find out if he's a pretty girl, so let's get going! Since we need Nobunaga to evolve him, I did that already, so yay. The best stories are ones I can beat in four turns.  Does that really matter, though...? It does not. Lord Nobunaga...! You have done well. Nobunaga is here to praise you for your efforts. Oh... nothing could make me happier than hearing those words, my lord! They make such a cute couple... anyway, this should be the end, I've shown off all the stories I wanted to, now I need to beat all the ones that unlock the final story and end this LP already. However, I did let you guys vote on which stories I wasn't going to completely skip over. You chose Muneshige, Gracia and Hanbei to cover, which is alright, as Muneshige's story is necessary to complete to reach the final story. So here's the third and final block, though unfortunately all three stories are part of the Junior Warlord scenario, so we're gonna go and conquer Ransei THREE TIMES IN A ROW! Oh boy, I can't wait!     So, the first person to unite Ransei is the winner... this might be just a game, but... it sounds like I'm going to achieve your ambition before you do, Ginchiyo!  As a saving grace, Muneshige starts with 3 kingdoms instead of 1, for whatever reason. That means there's only 14 kingdoms left to conquer, which is about 10 too many.  It's never difficult doing these stories, even if you're not cheating horrendously like me, it just takes a while regardless. Still, Staraptor does a poo poo ton of damage and while it has lower Range and Defense after using Brave Bird, its better than an Attack decrease, so you can chain attacks no problem if everyone's close enough.   Such insolence! I am the only Warlord around here! You may be a Warlord here in Ransei. But I don't think the rest of the world cares about the squabbles that happen here. Do you, Ginchiyo? The... world? I will not be taken in by such ridiculous talk! Hehe...  Muneshige's story unlocks Motonari's story, so it's necessary. Next up, Gracia!   This is a test for Junior Warriors, not for Warlords. If I were to involve myself... it would be akin to a parent fighting their children's battles. Oh... so I would have to do battle without you, Father...? Yes. I know you don't want to leave my side. Without me, you- I'll do it! I've always wanted to visit other kingdoms! With you telling me never to leave the castle, I hardly ever get the chance to travel... but this contest will let me travel as much as I want! Hmm... I'm not sure this is such a good idea...  It still gets me how casually the game just tells you to conquer loads of kingdoms just like that. There has to be a better way of doing this. Still, least we don't have to conquer Valora! So how good is Gothitelle and Future Sight? Omae wa mou shindeiru...   NANI?!  I say it's pretty good.  Father! I always knew that you were a child who could achieve anything you put your mind to. However... I do wish you could show a little more humility and grace, as befits a lady... What?! You're telling me off now, of all times?!  Magoichi's story is Pointless, so on to the final story of the update, I hope you're enjoying the deep stories we've been seeing so far, it's been totally worth it, yep, absolutely.    Yeah, of course! There's no one out there that's a match for you! Oh, my lord... can't you just let me sleep? I really can't be bothered with this, Kanbei. Let's get it over with as soon as possible... Watch your mouth in front of Lord Hideyoshi, Hanbei. Hehe. Didn't you hear him, Kanbei? I'm the Warlord of this kingdom now. He should be the one who watches his mouth in front of me! ... That's the spirit, Hanbei! Now don't let me down, all right? Taking over Ransei won't be too difficult this time, because of one thing...  Raichu can do a lot of damage with Volt Tackle if the enemy lines up right, but Fire Spin is the best move in the game, able to dish out so much damage to so many opponents. Even if you're not cheating, Hanbei and Hideyoshi will be able to solo a kingdom no problem, it's that good. Painting the region orange. Also, nothing interesting happened in those stories, no new events, no swarms, just nothing except battling in the same maps I've done... way too many times by now. This poo poo is draining.  Wh-What's the matter, Hanbei?! Surely you haven't caught a cold?! No, it's nothing. Just something in my throat. ...  You're not wrong! And your kids will probably look like that as well, Kanbei! Hanbei! Don't be so cruel! Haha! Alright, we're done, no more stories, I'm just gonna blitz through the last of them and get the final one unlocked already. We only had six stories left to go: Yoshihiro, Nō, Motonari, Motochika, Ujiyasu and Nene. During that time...  We got the last two Eeveelutions! Huh? There's one left? Oh, uh, in that case, we'll get it during the last story. Eevee evolves into Umbreon when you reach 70% link and perform an action in Yaksha. Eevee evolves into Vaporeon when you equip a Water Stone and fight in a battle.    And the remaining ending cards for beating specific stories... bar the one for beating Kanbei's story.   So here it is. We also have a Zekrom image that I don't know where from and a long image of the scrolling one from the opening. It's pretty neat! Alright, we've beaten all 16 stories of the main Warlords, as well as Muneshige's, Yukimura's, Kanetsugu's and Kotarō's, as they unlock main Warlord stories. So 20 out of 36, which, uh, ain't great. Next time: the final story and the final update.

The postgame is tedious as hell and you're a stronger man than me Crosspeice, because it made me quit the game very quickly. Just one more to go. I've always been interested in that one, but I was not going to go through all the repetition to get to it.

If the game was just a littel faster paced and had more map variety i think this would have been way less tedious and probably something I would have pecked away at over the course of a year and not tried to do another couple stories, want to die, and put it down forever. Or at least stop doing full conquer campaigns.

 Part 14: Second Finale of Conquest  Oh wow, is it the final Conquest update? It's been a long journey (for me, these take forever to make), but we've reached the final story. Will it be a good end to a pretty awful postgame? Yes, actually. Let's go!   Nobunaga entrusted Dragnor to Ranmaru and set out on a journey around the region. Just as he was visiting the kingdom of Aurora...  Hm?! It has been too long. You look well, Lord Azai. As do you, Lord Nobunaga. That is good to see. Right, niceties are over with. Let's talk shop. We cannot do battle against each other anymore. We have fought amongst ourselves for too long. That's why we're here! To challenge you two!    Very well. Nobunaga shall fight alongside Azai... and the world will know... know what we are truly capable of! ...! Threat to Ransei A final one for the road. With Azai, Nobunaga and Oichi we need to conquer Ransei one last time. Though there are some interesting things about this story.  Firstly, everyone is a lot stronger than normal and are in their second evolution, though they won't have their Perfect Link, simply a strong (or evolved) version of the Pokemon they're usually with as the AI. Also, every kingdom has every facility at level 3, so money is kinda useless in this story. But if you've been missing the last few Pokemon to complete the Gallery, or want to see what cool buildings are in each kingdom, then here's your chance! We've done all we need in the past, so I'll be ignoring all the buildings and the like. We also have Azai nearly decked out from recruiting him a few times during other stories. However, you can't get all the Eeveelutions as he has a Capacity of 6. This is definitely a misstep, but oh well, we have all the important Eeveelutions everyone cares about anyway. VS Ignis So let's get started! Now I won't be covering everything that happens in this story, but I will take this opportunity to give my final thoughts on each kingdom and go over the evolved Warlords, since I haven't really done that in the LP yet.  Fire Spin is pretty nasty to face as the first opponent, but we'll also be using every Eeveelution throughout the story. Vaporeon has Hydro Pump, which is a fantastic attack with great range. It's definitely a good choice since Water has good coverage and only two weaknesses. It can miss though... Anyway, unfortunately neither Hanbei or Kanbei are in this story for whatever stupid reason and unless Mitsunari, Kiyomasa, Masanori or Keiji pop up, we won't be seeing them either, so let's go over them and Hideyoshi and then talk about Ignis in general.  Oh, uh, maybe I should've made more screenshots, but anyway, Hideyoshi has the skill Great Uniter, which makes the enemy drop two trasure boxes on defeat and increases Energy and Attack for 3 turns. Combined with Reshiram, he becomes a super powerful ally that can easily solo kingdoms. Hanbei has Lazybones, which blocks critical hits and status ailments for 3 turns on all allies. While Raichu isn't too amazing, that skill is pretty good and means you don't have to worry about anything. Kanbei gets Extinguish, which disables all enemy skills, but can only be used when a skill is active, making it much less useful than just disabling enemy skills for a few turns and means it doesn't do anything against skills that only last for a turn. Still, Chandelure more than makes up for it.Mitsunari has Cunning, which increases Speed and attacks will always be successful for 3 turns. Bisharp has the great attack in Night Slash, which always does a lot of damage, and being able to increase crits with Speed and never miss is always nice. Kiyomasa has Belief, which raises Defense by one stage and blocks status ailments for 3 turns. This would be great if Haxorus's Outrage confused you, but it just makes you unable to move, so it's not exactly the same. Overall, skills that increase attack are better than defense, so eh. Masanori has Sacrifice, which increases Range and Attack to the max, but reduces HP to 1. Uh, Krookodile is good and all, but not THAT good it can just solo enemies at 1HP, especially since you take a lot of attacks each turn. Good in a 1v1 situation, but otherwise nah. Keiji has Carefree, which raises Attack by 1 stage and increases flinch chance for 4 turns. With Stone Edge's crit chance, this makes it quite the nuke if it crits and if you flinch the enemy. Of course, this is if you actually find these guys to use them. Okay, now let's talk about Ignis. For your first map, it's a pretty good one, the lava means it's not a big brawl in the middle since the Fire types can just snipe from afar and the falling rocks and fire plumes means you don't know what's gonna happen. The hot springs are a nice touch and appreciated for tough battles, though the item corner guarded by plumes has never been entered, just can't be arsed going over to it. Still, overall I like this map.   Hah, we're not finished with AR codes just yet. We won't be using Vaporeon for the rest of the story, so it can be boosted up...   So Azai can evolve again! He can only evolve when you're on the final story and an Eeveelution reaches 80% link. Since we'll be swapping between them, that's definitely not happening without cheats. Okay, NOW, we've evolved every Warlord as much as they can and Azai now has enough capacity for Flareon! VS Fontaine But we've got more kingdoms to conquer before that, so let's beat up Motochika.  Even though everyone is strong, we're stronger. Also, only Warlords will evolve their Pokemon, the normal Warriors are stronger, sure, but they're still using weaklings, so it's not much of a contest. Fontaine is a bit bland, with the water cutting up the area and not really dealing any damage and the fountain on the side being too out of the way to matter. Definitely could've done more with this one.  I suppose we should go over Nobunaga and Oichi, as well as Motochika, since Azai will have time to strut off his rank 3 stuff. Nobunaga has Ambition, which let's him move twice and gives a chance to flinch. With how powerful Zekrom is, letting it move twice is amazing and if you flinch the enemy, then you can attack it 3 times before they can hit you. Amazing. Oichi has Soft Light, which heals 50% health and removes all status ailments. We used Oichi's skill every battle in the first story, so it being even better means we'll use it when we need to, it's super good. Wigglytuff is good too, with Hyper Voice hitting everything around it, so Oichi is real helpful in support and attack! Motochika has Rebellion, which increases accuracy and critical hit chance for him and adjacent allies for 3 turns. Samurott is a wrecking ball by itself, so being able to hit and crit is super nice, but it sucks it doesn't affect all allies, since adjacent skills are awkward to utilise properly. Still, could be worse. Since we still have a million evolution items, we'll give Rikyu a Simisage for being so rad during the LP. VS Greenleaf Alright, Greenleaf time, shouldn't be too hard.  Super effective damage is king. Motonari has Strategist, which blocks enemy criticals and increases Speed for all allies for 3 turns. While it won't blow you away, it's still nice to not get a sudden crit while Serperior is weak from Leaf Storm. Overall, Motochika is the better pick, but Motonari has his moments. Hrm. Greenleaf has a lot going against it, banner maps are a bit annoying, since it's super easy to beat all the enemies and then having to waste time claiming them. The random holes are frustrating, but they don't stick around and the grass bridge is never used by me or the AI, so it's just another waste of time. The flowers that throw you are too unpredictable and again, never used by me or the AI and the tree never sees use either. But aside from literally everything about this map, it's alright since the grass tunnels are cool and the weird amount of variety this map has is at least interesting, so I'll give it points for that. The battle gets pretty spread out and varied and that's always a good thing when you're fighting on it many many times. Ah, the final Eevee, now I don't have to hack them in anymore. VS Violight Sure, Azai is a bit busy right now, but we don't need him just yet, so it's Violight time. Zap! Violight is a tricky map, since it has holes in it everywhere and the large pillar in the middle forcing you to split up, but it makes it kinda fun. The spaces make it rough for Pokemon that attack a space away from them and the lightning is pretty random and annoying, but that's all part of the fun. The switches are hardly used and the AI never gets in place for you to use them and they're too out of the way to make use of, so oh well. Fire Spin strats! Ginchiyo has Thunderclap (Raijin's Voice) which increases all allies Attack and Range by one stage for the turn, UNLESS Typhoon (Fūjin's Voice), Muneshige's skill is used the same turn, then it boosts them both by 2 stages. Since Typhoon does the same thing and boosts stack, this is a +3 for everyone for the whole turn, which is very very nice. Since I only just found that out, I, uh, never used their skills on the same map. While Ginchiyo is saddled with Luxray and Thunder, Muneshige gets Staraptor and Brave Bird is stupidly good, so having massive Range and Attack with level everything. Love it. VS Pugilis Off to the easiest map! Seriously, because of the knockdown and the single file entrance this map is so incredibly easy to get through. Thankfully you don't have to wait the 5 turns for the banners after knocking everyone out, but aside from that, there's not much to say. If you knock everyone off, you can easily whittle them down and it's very easy to bait the enemy with banners and not get knocked off yourself. The fight bell is never used, aside from the main story and, uh, yeah. It's a fun and quick map and that's why I like it, cause it doesn't take forever like SOME maps. Yoshihiro is a monster. His skill, Chesto!, is also nuts. Boosts Attack by 3 stages and lowers Defense by 3 stages for himself and adjacent allies, an easy way to counteract the drops from Superpower, so you can smash something in the face really hard. It's great, I love Yoshihiro. Threat to Ransei   These huge ruins just suddenly appeared in Aurora! I can't work in the fields with those in the way! What's more, there's a Pokemon there too! And it's no ordinary Pokemon, either! Please, you've got to come see this! BOY, I WONDER WHAT THIS COULD BE??? Yeah we'll come back to this at the end of the story, Azai's had enough time dicking around.   There we go, we have every Eeveelution! Took long enough... Eevee evolves into Flareon when you finish a battle holding a Fire Stone. Very nice. While we're here, Azai has the skill Motivate, which raises Attack and let's you move twice. Regardless of the Eeveelution, this is super nice, letting you deal a lot of damage very quickly, since you'll most likely be using the Eeveelution that has super effective damage. It's not a good idea to give Azai all of the Eevee, since it's a hassle to do and they're annoyingly rare. Just activate a password and let various Warlords recruit them. Much faster. VS Terrera We'll do Chrysalia in just a second, so we'll go for Terrera first, cause like hell I'd choose Illusio given the option. Since I actually want to recruit everyone, I won't use the 3 turn strat, but it's pretty funny you can end the battle that quickly. Delicious. Aside from the towers, there's nothing much to Terrera. There are oases around, but I've never used them and maybe the AI has used one once. I dunno. The wind is annoying cause it seems random, so when you're actually trying to get all the banners it can get super frustrating. Also the lifts put you as far away from the other towers as possible and that's annoying. This could be an alright map, but if you don't end it quick, it can take way too long and that's never fun. At least there's a lot of weaknesses to exploit. Shingen has Fūrin Kazan (a banner quote used by Takeda Shingen from Sun Tzu's The Art of War), which increases Attack and Defense by one stage for all allies for 3 turns. Very standard, but very useful, since Groudon is a powerhouse. Rhyperior, not so much, but at least you can change it pretty easily. Yukimura has Willpower, which increases crit chance and lets you move twice. Very nice, since while Charizard doesn't have great Range, Flamethrower definitely does, so you can deal a lot of damage if you time it right. And then you crit, mwahahahaha. Kunoichi has Trickster, which increases Speed, lets you jump up to high places and increases crit chance. I always forget to use it for moving to high places, since a lot of kingdom maps are flat, but the increased crit chance with Night Slash, a super good move, is fantastic and all you need. VS Chrysalia Alright, Chrysalia time! Fences still suck. Chrysalia is a pretty good map cause of the Pokemari Balls, which create new walls, are fun to smack into enemies and there's usually a fair few dotted around. The fences are annoying when you first discover them, but it's also fun trying to avoid them when they're discovered. Regardless, it makes this map more enjoyable than it should be and I'm a big fan of this map, since it plays differently pretty often and the Pokemari Balls let you claw back to victory when you're facing a tough opponent. I like it! Though it doesn't have much to do with Bug types, so that's a knock against it.  C'mon Flareon, work with me here. Flareon isn't a great Eeveelution, since Fire Fang only hits one enemy at a time. Still, you don't get to use Fire types very often, so it can work well in some matchups, but other Eeveelutions with bigger attacks are a lot more effective in most cases. Now, Yoshimoto has Grace, which fully heals him and adjacent allies... and then puts them to Sleep. You're right, that's worse than his Rank 1 skill that just prevents you from moving for 3 turns. At least you can still attack after using it, but this skill makes you completely useless until you get woken up, which is terrible. Along with Forretress being worse than Pineco, Yoshimoto gets worse the worse the more you use him, it's absolutely intentional (hopefully). So, uh, don't use him. VS Illusio Ugh, Illusio. So Illusio really sucks, like it's super bad, cause it takes FOREVER. The warping portals could be interesting, but they don't change often enough and to where you want to go for them to be all that useful. The floating cubes are cool, but they're set up so it's pretty tough to get from the attackers side to the defenders side, probably on purpose. The general fractured look of the map also means it's a pain to move around unless you're using Flying types, so it's just miserable to get around. It's one of three maps that I seriously dislike playing on and I'm always glad when it's over.  Oh yeah, it's also a lovely banner map, so you'll just be waiting for the warps to line up so you can get the last Pokemon standing on the banner and refusing to come to you to die. Anyway, Kenshin has Inspiration, which increases all allies Attack and Range by one stage for 3 turns. Very nice, just what we need more of and very helpful for the terror that is Mewtwo and its great range. Kanetsugu has Love and Honor (of course), which raises Attack by two stages and restores HP to him and adjacent allies. Very useful in a pinch, but again, adjacent skills are awkward and you'll want the Attack boost more than the HP restore (hopefully). Still, it'll make Alakazam nice and helpful and one hell of a nuke with Psychic. Aya has Compassion, which raises Defense by two stages and heals her and adjacent allies. Well it's not as good as Sweet Song, that's for sure, only healing adjacent allies is bad compared to every ally. Also the Defense boost is meh, but Froslass is a good overall attacker regardless.  Oh? This better be good. Goddammit game, where's my Blitzle or Anorith swarm? VS Cragspur Alright, we're over halfway there, so next up is a nice easy map in Cragspur. You'll only discover there's a switch on the other side the AI will press when you're spending time moving your team around. Otherwise you'll press the switch on the first turn and completely miss that it was a thing.  Like Flareon, Leafeon isn't too amazing, but getting Run Up and a higher crit chance with Leaf Blade makes it super potent given the chance. Not a bad choice. Ujiyasu has Father Figure, which blocks enemy crits and increases Energy for all allied Pokemon. Wow this is a bad skill, like it could be nice for defense, I guess? But man, it could be so much better, like actually boosting Defense, maybe? Ah whatever, Gigalith is still good regardless, Stone Edge is just a real nice move. Kai has Warrior Woman, which increases Speed and makes enemies flinch. Considering the monstrous range Fire Blast has and how much of a wrecking ball Darmanitan is, flinching every enemy in range and getting to attack all of them twice will rack up the damage. If only it was an Attack raise too... The Rolling Stones are alright, but they only go in one direction and it can be tricky getting the enemy in position (not that it'll affect them if they're Rock type anyway) and they don't do much damage anyway. Overall, Cragspur is pretty straightforward, splitting into three groups to take on everyone means a lot of shifting battles and the terrain is pretty varied, so yeah, it's cool. VS Yaksha Ugh, Yaksha. There's nothing particularly bad about Yaksha... it's just boring. Like with Fontaine, they definitely could've done more with the type, instead it's just an open field that has water breaking it up. Woo, how crazy.  Actually, the Roulette fuckin sucks. Sometimes it's nice when it gets rid of a Pokemon that was hassling you to let you regroup, but most of the time it just wastes turns and the big reward of loads of items is... meh. Kotarō has Mayhem, which increases Range by 1, makes enemies flinch and lets him go to high places for 3 turns. The Range is nice, since Zoroark can deal a lot of damage if it gets into position, but flinching and Night Daze don't play nice since it lowers accuracy, which doesn't matter if it flinches. Still, if only one of those things happen, it's something at least. Oh yeah, Illusion isn't too amazing since it's random which Pokemon it copies and it's always better to attack first, removing the Illsion. So oh well.    It's July time, so the AI has woken up, taking various kingdoms and not focusing on the real threat... thankfully. VS Viperia It's Viperia! I'm glad, Viperia is good. Espeon, my favouritest Pokemon ever, is also good, having great range with Psybeam and deals a lot of damage, though it's useless against Dark types. Still, it's definitely a great choice. Psychic types are just too good for this map. Nene has Nene Ninpō, which lets all allies avoid all attacks for a turn. A free turn is pretty nice and Crobat can take advantage of that with its great range with Cross Poison. Good overall. Hanzō has Ninjitsu, which increases Range, increases crit chance and lets him climb to high places. Well, it's alright, more Range is always nice, since Gengar has a lot with Shadow Ball, but it's not an amazing skill. Could be worse, I suppose. Despite being a banner map, Viperia is... good??? With the secret passages, you can zip around this map pretty quickly and the AI sticking to banners is fine on this map, since if they get poisoned by the goo on the floor, then it makes them much easier to deal with. There's also a secret area in the top left, but I always forget it's there, you can see the opening in the screenshot. Anyway, with all the jumping in passages and moving around the poison, this is a pretty fun map. Thankfully it's also the last banner map, so the rest of the maps are good right? ...right? VS Avia We're up in the clouds with Avia. It's a shame that most of Avia is unused, since it's a pretty fun map. But to get it over with as soon as possible, just head to the middle and let the AI come to you. No need to bother with literally any other part of the map, which is a shame cause the jump ramps and the up and down nature of the arena is a lot of fun.  Well that's some Range. Masamune has One-Eyed Dragon, which increases Range by 3 for 3 turns for him and adjacent allies. That's an amazing skill that can get everyone moving real quick at the start of the map. Also means you can just fly over to whoever you want with Braviary and remove them from the battle for a turn with Sky Drop. It can be a buggy move, so I have moved away from using it, just in case, but it's still a fine move. Magoichi has Cupid, which raises Attack in proportion to how many female Warriors are on the battlefield, because of course it does. This is great to offset Sceptile's Leaf Storm, but it's very situational unless you bring a load of female Warlords with you. It's perfectly possible, a lot of them are very powerful, but again, it depends if you can bring them, or even want to bring them. Still, good skill. With everyone clumped up like this, you can do a lot of damage very quickly, so they're flying down to their doom. The bridge sucks, but at least you use it, unlike the Greenleaf one. Also sometimes the camera doesn't show the various elevations well, which can be annoying. VS Spectra Ugh, Spectra. My second least favourite map. Wait why does Registeel have some much moveme- oh. I have been bamboozled by Illusion. Jolteon is a good pick, with a good attack in Thunderbolt. Sure, it does nothing against Ground types, but Electric is a drat good typing otherwise. Definitely one of the best choices. So Spectra sucks cause aside from a couple houses, it's a large field that constantly shifts cause of the loving STATUES, as well as the loving FLAMES. It's super frustrating to get trapped by them and they move each turn and it's so, so miserable, I hate it so much, especially when they block your attacks. Thankfully the AI walks into the flames like idiots and the aesthetic of this map is fantastic. Everything else is poo poo though. Nō has Viper's Bite, which gives moves added bonuses against male Warriors for 3 turns. These bonuses include inflicting status ailments, decreasing a stat, or increasing the crit chance. Very nice if you want to destroy men like the vile, disgusting pigs that they are, but it's situational and you never know what you're gonna get. Also Mismagius doesn't have good range with Shadow Ball, so it can't inflict many enemies with these bonuses, which is a shame. Still, it can be fun. Okuni has Kabuki Dance, which raises Attack and Energy of all allies for that turn. If it was 3 turns, this would be really nice, but it isn't, so it's okay. Not that Volcarona needs much of a push to wreck fools anyway, so if you can stack Attack boosts, suddenly it becomes incredibly deadly. Funny that. VS Valora UGH, Valora. Welcome to my least favourite map of the game.  There's a reason this map has a 25 turn limit, IT TAKES FOREVER. You have to use the gears to lower barriers and you can't really go through the cameras unless you time it just right. Also the area looks ugly and it's awkward moving around cause of all the thin walkways. Also where you'll meet the enemy is in this area, which is the worst place to fight in all of the maps in the game. More often than not, you might not have any moves to hit the enemy with, or the enemy will just walk in front of a camera like a dumbass and then get moved halfway across the map behind a barrier that they never lower cause they're loving idiots so you have to go over to them and waste even more time and then the cameras move every turn and the gears move everytime you land of them and AHHHHHHHHHH I HATE THIS MAP. Okay, that makes it better. Ieyasu has Resolution, which increases Defense by 3 stages for 3 turns. That's pretty nice, but Aggron has a lot of weaknesses, so it works better for Registeel. Since Flash Cannon has great range, Registeel can dish out a lot of damage without taking much in return, so it's pretty good overall. Tadakatsu has Unrivaled, which boosts Attack and Defense by 1 stage for 4 turns. An excellent skill that lasts for a long while and makes Dialga super deadly... if it could attack every turn. Metagross is a bit better with consistant damage, but Dialga has much better range with Roar of Time and it's cool as hell, so it's up to you which one you want. Ina has Elegance, which increases Range by 1 and ensures attacks will always hit for 3 turns. Very helpful for Empoleon, which could use some more Range and an accuracy boost for Hydro Pump. So yeah, pretty nice, but with an Attack boost it would've been amazing. This Aron just stared at these barriers endlessly until we lowered them and beat it up. gently caress this map.   Oh hey, it's the travelling merchant for the second time ever. Seriously, they never appeared off camera, these rare random events suck. VS Nixtorm Only two more kingdoms left, so we need to have Dragnor as the final one. If you don't have Ice types, this map kinda sucks, but being able to slide from one side to the other and smack the enemy in the face is a lot of fun. The cracked ice does, uh, nothing really, so you can ignore it. The floating icebergs aren't in the best place to use them consistently and the various ice blocks that sit on the ice are just annoying to get through. The snow reducing everyone's Range is annoying, but thankfully not too bad, unless you're using a bunch of slow guys that now have 1 range. Overall, not a great map, but it's alright. Zzzzzzzzzzap. Mitsuhide has Cold Eyes, which increases Speed and ensures all moves hit for 3 turns. For Articuno, this is very nice, since Blizzard has great range, but not so great accuracy. It's not necessary for Lapras, but Articuno is just the overall better Pokemon. As always, wish it was an Attack boost but OH WELL. Gracia has Bewilder, which gives all allies' moves the chance to confuse the opponent for the turn. This will never apply to Gothitelle, since Future Sight takes a turn to hit, but it could be useful for others, though only have the chance to confuse is a bit of a shame. Still, confusion is a pretty good status in this game, so it could work out (I've never used it that effectively). Our final Eeveelution is Umbreon, which is... alright. Assurance deals double damage if the foe has already taken damage that turn, so it's best used at the end of the turn. With Motivate, you can bounce between weakened enemies and take them down, so it's definitely usable, but only being able to target one Pokemon at once is always a shame. Threat to Ransei Alright we've got one last kingdom to take over to end the story. But of course we're not gonna do that just yet, we've got some stuff left to do AND we need Dragnor for something, so if Ranmaru could leave it and attack this completely helpless Spectra, that would be great. Since we've shown off all the Eeveelutions, let's get Azai's final Perfect Link, Arceus. Yeah, the max for every other Warlord is 2 or 3, but Azai has 8. Mental. Oh yeah, Arceus only appears when Azai reaches Rank 3.  But I'm not done yet! I must become even stronger! And you're going to help me, Arceus! We're going to be together from now on... we must watch each other's backs!    Oh noooooooo, how could this have happened??? VS Dragnor  Mmm, that's the stuff, let's give Arceus a test drive.  Alright, Arceus might not be all that strong, but still, it's powerful enough (only cause of Omnipotent, otherwise it's basically a stronger Wigglytuff). Now that ain't right. We'll talk about Dragnor when we actually properly conquer it at the end of the story, so let's talk about Aurora's battlefield. It's alright, pretty bland, as you'd expect. The logs are a bit annoying to move out of the way, but it does make fighting in that arena different each time, so I guess it's cool, especially when you smack one into an enemy. Otherwise, we're not missing much not being able to fight on it this story. Easy enough though, does this appease you Arceus? I think it looks happy. Please don't smite me.   But... none of the people who tried going in have come back out! What on earth could there be inside there?! Ha... very interesting... Nobunaga shall see to this personally. Wait a minute, if we already have Arceus, what's in the Infinite Tower?  Oh yeah, this thing. Shiny Rayquaza only appears in Dragnor when you've obtained every other legendary Pokemon (aside from Reshiram) and are in the final story with Rank 2 Nobunaga.  Accompany me, Rayquaza! With your great power beside me, Ransei shall be Nobunaga's at least! Hehehe... hahahahaha!  Final month of the LP! With Ranmaru taking back Dragnor, we're ready for the final battle. VS Dragnor  Uh, after we take back Spectra... but who cares about that, it's Dragnor time!  Even without cheating, I'm still completely wrecking fools. It's way too easy in these stories to completely overtake the enemy and make the end of the story a real snoozefest, especially if you can avoid the Gabite guy, because then it turns from a snoozefest into a real tedious dreck. So a lose-lose situation.   Use all the skills! Dragnor is a cool map, pretty simple, but has a lot of variety due to the elemental pillars. Smacking enemies into them for massive damage is great fun, especially if you can burn them. The bottom right of the map is never used, so I dont know why it's there, aside from making the map mirrored. Still, for a climactic duel to the finish, Dragnor is a great way to end a story.  Feel my wrath! Admittedly it's a little weak right now, but who cares, Arceus and Rayquaza are literally endgame prizes you get five minutes before the game is over.  Finito. Ranmaru has Faith, which lets all allies attacks hit for 3 turns. An excellent skill that frees your worries for a few turns and affects a lot of Pokemon very positively. Lucario doesn't need it, since its Aura Sphere smacks everything around no problem, but it's great, though shame he doesn't have a healing skill anymore. Oh well. If I ever hear the phrase "Unite all of Ransei" ever again, I'm gonna flip. Long Day  You showed the world... you showed us all that people should aspire to great things. That they should not content themselves with being weak... I, too, believe this to be true. And we must continue to believe. We cannot restrict ourselves to Ransei. Cross the oceans. Spread your message. ...!  Indeed, the legend of Azai continues to inspire the people of Ransei to this very day.

Credits  And there we go! Conquest is finished! For finishing the final story, we get some special credits with everyone and their Perfect Link, which is super neat!    Overall, while this LP took forever, I'm incredibly happy with how it turned out. This game is great and I loved playing it, even after beating the same maps over and over again.   The gameplay is great, the music is amazing, I love the characters and the setting and the main story is great fun.    Having characters emote with their Pokemon was an amazing choice and added so much to the story and setting. I love Pokemon stories that focus on the Pokemon themselves, so having humans share that space so closely was great to see.    However, the big Donphan in the room is the postgame. The main story was really good, the progression was very well done and the battles were fast paced, pretty tough and really enjoyable to get through if you weren't as strong as the enemy. All of that gets thrown out of the window for the postgame.    The repetitive nature of the postgame (like a lot of stuff Koei Tecmo makes, alas) really drags it down. Everything's the same level, nothing is particularly engaging and there's so little variety beating the same map over and over and over again. It's super draining and it's a shame, cause the postgame can be fun.    Being able to play as everyone else and having the map all shaken up with different Warlords in different kingdoms could've been great if there had been more to it. But having to conquer the region over and over again and having everyone pretty weak is just hard to get through.   Still, because these characters are so enjoyable to see, the postgame stories can be great fun IF you pace yourself. Maybe I should've recorded this over a year and then did the LP nice and quick, but even after doing all of this and more than I should've, I still love this game.   I would love for a sequel to this game, if it fixed its problems, I think we could have something super amazing on our hands. Hell, I think Pokemon and Fire Emblem would work beautifully, the system is there and I really enjoy playing this game, it's just a shame its problems are super big ones.    Also having evolution items and a good chunk of Pokemon locked behind rare events does suck and I wish there was a better way than passwords. Still, I think there's a good variety of Pokemon in this game and it's not too tough to complete the Gallery. I got 190 out of 200 Pokemon without trying tooooooo hard.  But anyway, I hope you enjoyed this LP, I adore how this turned out and I love that a game like this got a full playthrough, cause it absolutely deserves it. I hope you enjoyed, I'm happy I showed off everything I wanted to and I know I had a blast... despite some things! Main Theme We don't get anything for beating the final story, but we're definitely done with the game. God, was it really 65 hours? This was even with cheating and speedup, so the same legit playthrough to the end will take even longer. I hope characters from this game appear in future, they're great, this game is great and this LP was great(?), well I hope you enjoyed it regardless. I'll leave you with the female player, since we didn't see her once in this whole LP aside from the start. Later!    El fin. No but seriously, thank you everyone who read this LP, I think this turned out great. A big thank you to Ragnar Homsar for letting me use her site, I'm super happy with how this LP looked and even though it wasn't incredibly long, a lot of work went into these updates and they're the longest I've ever made. And I'm glad, this game is great and I'm super happy I was able to show everything off and play this game, cause it's super good! But I'm glad it's over, getting everything in the postgame recorded was quite tough to get through, but I'm glad I did it. Crosspeice fucked around with this message at 06:18 on Feb 25, 2018 |

If you're doing RSE then Nobunaga, if you're doing ORAS then WHARGARBLE seems appropriate.

Very glad to see this finished out. That last story seemed kind of interesting if only because everyone was super strong and junk. Feels like the better idea of this game would have been Main story -> ~7 main warlords on smaller region chunk with the different objectives -> Final story wi-fi stories can be their own thing Also maybe just once they could have had you fight on the skirmish maps and not the same maps every single time you fought a real warlord. Or just come up with extra maps. Please. Looking forward to Pokemon Emerald: Nobunaga's Ambition

Man, I find it amazing that you could get through that postgame. You are a stronger man than I am, Crosspeice, and great job conquering Ransei for the millionth time. I definitely do want a Conquest sequel but, two console generations later, I don't think we'll ever get one. Sad, because I can think of a lot of fixes to its issues, and it definitely had a very good concept that was genuinely fun while it worked. Ranger and Mystery Dungeon also had weak starts and became really good games with their sequels, but Conquest didn't get the same treatment. Oh well, the important thing is that you can now play a Pokemon game that did fix a lot of terrible stuff and became my absolute favourite for a while (until Black and White came out). Though you aren't picking Torchic so your LP is already terrible in my eyes. Also, !pugulis. May want to fix that.

Thanks for the LP and the history lessons, always great to get those together. I've already had my say on the "Post game is good as long as you pace yourself" train, so I'll leave it at that.

Krookadile and co remains the best. I really like the turn based total war concept behind the game, it's a shame they focused on repeating same scenarios over and over rather than a big singular focused campaign.

What a nice LP of a game I never played. Really enjoyed reading all that, especially the post-game. Kudos to you for sticking with it. Now time for the LP of the mainline Pokemon I missed out on due to never having a GBA. Funnily enough it's my favourite part of the Adventure manga Go with Nobunaga for the Mudkip, show the people it's possible for someone to plow through the entirety of Conquest!

Everyone's favourite arc (me included!) is Ruby/Sapphire. Emerald is terrible (as an arc and as a character, as a game it's fantastic even if it's nearly unplayable for me now with the changes further generations brought in).

Emerald holds up pretty well id say. Still miss things like, you know, actual bug moves and better moves in general but its less "god why" than going back to gen 1 or 2

You know, I actually played this game and kinda enjoyed it up until the post-game. ...Or at least, I thought I had. This LP showed so much stuff that conflicts pretty severely with my 'memories' of playing it. For example, I distinctly remember getting No's evolution despite not getting anywhere close to all the Ghost-types. Coupled with the fact I can't actually find my Conquest cartridge anywhere, I have to wonder if I didn't just look up a bunch of information about the game and have a bunch of fever dreams about it... Anyway, tossing my hat in the ring for Nobunaga as the Mudkip's name.

Thanks for playing this through! I had a great time seeing someone else play a game that I at least remember enjoying.

Thanks for another great LP! And for slogging through all that postgame stuff, because wwwow some of that looked dull. Gonna get on the Nobunaga train for Mudkip too.

Cheers for all the kind words, guys. I'm glad everyone enjoyed this LP as much as I did. I'll also close the voting and, uh, Nobunaga wins (especially since I've already named it now), so new LP should be up soon. In the mean time, I guess I'll need to change this LP from html to bbcode so I can get it archived! Woo...

This was another great LP! I'm yet another person who never touched Conquest, so it was great to see someone give it a good run. Now I'm interested with what you're going to go with emerald!

Thanks for seeing this through. Really, you don't see enough of people really styling themselves to their Pokemon, and I'm glad they went that way with this one.

I probably would have gotten distracted from playing this game on my own, but I absolutely love the ideas behind this game and I wanna give you some big thanks for LPing this game and letting us experience it vicariously!
