Pokemon/Nobunaga's Ambition Crossover, BW2 release date, et al [permalink]
Posted by Frost on 9 Apr 2012 at 10:43am PDT Updated on 9 Apr 2012 at 10:51am PDT
Slow month on our part. Let's do a news update round-up! The Pokemon/Nobunaga's Ambition crossover has been retitled Pokemon Conquest and will be released in North America in June 18, 2012. The region, Ransei, has seventeen different territories and is shaped like Arceus. The battling system is somewhat like a tactical RPG and has teams of up to six Warlords and Pokemon fighting each other on a grid-based battlefield. The Japanese release date of Black and White 2 is currently five days later on June 23. The box art was revealed a couple of weeks ago, as seen above. Yes, both mascot forms of Kyurem are still Dragon/Ice-type Pokemon. The tentative English release date remains as autumn 2012. Next Wednesday, April 18, will see the release of a new TCG box called the Forces of Nature Collection, featuring three new promos: a full-art Landorus reprint of Noble Victories's Landorus, and holo reprints of Emerging Powers's Thundurus and Tornadus. These three reprint promos originate from the Tornadus/Thundurus Gift Set that was released in Japan last autumn. It comes with two BW-era packs and one earlier pack. The next English expansion set, Dark Explorers, will be released in North America on May 9. The last Japanese expansion, Dragon Blade and Dragon Blast, came out on March 16 and we will probably see the bulk of those cards in our August set. From April 5 to May 23, Piplup fans can unlock a Piplup C-Gear on the Pokemon Global Link website using the code PIPLUPCGEAR2012. Other than news, I've also rewritten a couple dozen Techdex descriptions and will be doing more in the near future, thanks to the error reporting of forum member DNA in our site typo thread on the forums. I'd also like to plug our Facebook page since Jiggz and I tend to do quick news updates and other goofy little things on there more often than on the main page. And a belated Happy April Fools Day as well as a belated Happy (western) Easter! While rainbow seizure text is something I could only tolerate one day per year, I wish every day could have a Bidoof stampede visiting the site.

So booster packs, full-art cards, a lot of decks- Is the TCG box like a pack on steroids that is on steroids?

hooray the clan-people game is back! and releases just around when school ends for north america too :D (not to mention 3 days after my birthday, so i can prob get them for that) as for the cards, never got into pokemon cards but it's some good news for people who like them :)
i'm still confused as how pokemon black and white 2 will be like but i'm anxious to get one. (probably the zekrom one in my case since i got the one with reshiram last time) too bad they will probably release for north america around when school starts there.

*sigh* Two (well, three if you split black2/white 2) new games coming out in the *relatively* near future. I wonder how long until Black/White 2 comes out for North America... Sounds like it's time to get a summer job. :P Excited for the Conquest game, though! Sounds like it might be a little similar to Fire Emblem or Disgaea. And, of course, you start with Eevee. What's not to like about that? ;)

The cover art on B/W 2 looks fantastic, especially the art for Black 2. The Pokemon Conquest one seems interesting, I liked Pokemon Ranger. Perhaps that will be a cross between a dungeon game and PR? :/

@frenchhorn95 your telling me! ;) i just started re-playing fire emblem for nostalgia's sake. and yes starting with eevee is awesome. kind of reminds me of pokemon colluseum when you started with an umbreon and an espeon. @Dragonair101 agreed, very nice cover art.
