there were a lot of edit conflicts going around. I was still editing this when you mainspaced it, and I think quite a few of these changes are important. We need to communicate via IM or something to prevent this

After the spin-off crossover game {{bp|Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition}} was released in Japan less than month ago, the fandom outside Japan was focused on whether the game would receive a localized release due to the game's heavy focus on Japanese history and due to the fact that a small amount of {{wp|Nobunaga's Ambition}} titles have been localized in the past.
{{bp|Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition}}, a spin-off crossover between Pokémon and {{wp|Nobunaga's Ambition}}, has been confirmed for an English release under the title '''Pokémon Conquest'''. The game is set to be released in the United States on June 18; no European or Australian release has been confirmed.


However, today, the official Pokémon site has confirmed the release of Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition outside Japan. The Nintendo DS game {{bp|Pokémon Conquest}} is set for a June 18, 2012 North American release.
After its release in Japan less than a month ago, the Western fandom have been waiting to see if the game would receive an English release; while Pokémon, some doubted it would receive one due to the game's heavy focus on Japanese history and the small number of {{wp|Nobunaga's Ambition}} titles that have been localised in the past. While the title has been changed, the official announcement does reference the Nobunaga's Ambition series.  


In Pokémon Conquest, players take the role of Warlords, battling other Warriors, Warlords, and Pokémon in the {{bp|Ransei}} region. Players choose between a male and female character to play as, and start out with {{p|Eevee}}. Much like the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} series, additional content can be downloaded through {{bp|Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection}}, and additional Pokémon can be accessed through passwords. The game features Pokémon from all five generations.
