Pokémon Conquest: Ultimate
ポケモン+ノブナガの野望 · Pokémon + Nobunaga no Yabō
A ground-up overhaul of Pokémon Conquest with 200 fully evolved Pokémon, 150 of them new up to Generation 9, a rebalanced roster and much tougher enemy armies.
What changes
Pokémon Conquest: Ultimate rebuilds the DS strategy game's roster and balance from scratch. Aaron's Aron spent around two years on it, and it is the largest Conquest mod so far.
- A bigger roster. The game now has 200 Pokémon, all fully evolved, and 150 of them were never in Conquest before, reaching up to Generation 9 and regional forms. Baby and middle-stage Pokémon are gone, so battles use final forms from the start.
- Rebalanced from the ground up. Types are spread evenly, no two Pokémon share the same type pairing and move type, and a handful get new typings to fill gaps. Stats, abilities, warrior skills and moves, nearly a hundred of them new, were all reworked.
- Unique links. With 200 warriors and 200 Pokémon, every warrior has a different perfect link, and each warlord is paired with a special Pokémon.
- Harder fights. Enemy armies are more varied and stronger, while your own options grow to match. The main story lets you pick from all seven Eeveelutions as a starter.
- Other changes. Reworked battlefields, content that used to need passwords woven into the game, and text updated to current Pokémon naming.
The release comes with detailed documentation, worth reading because the game now shows much more information on screen.
