Similarly, the choice of Perfect Link Pokémon for a given Warlord may be influenced by their Samurai Warriors 3 personality or moveset:

Some characters' appearances were altered to better express their Samurai Warriors 3 characterizations: for example, Mitsunari, Kiyomasa, and Masanori are all depicted as children in Pokémon Conquest to reinforce Nene acting as a mother of sorts to Hideyoshi's retainers.Some characters' costumes were altered to better associate them with their Perfect Link Pokémon: for example, Motonari's hair was turned green to better resemble Servine, while Kunoichi's outfit became primarily black instead of white, in order to better associate her with Sneasel.(The exceptions are Nobunaga, where this is reversed and Hideyoshi, whose Rank I and Rank II costumes are taken from Samurai Warriors and Samurai Warriors 3 respectively, while his Rank III costume is original.) There are some minor modifications in character appearances and costumes between the two games, however: In deference to this, character designs for Pokémon Conquest were primarily taken from Samurai Warriors 3 as opposed to a Nobunaga's Ambition game.įor Pokémon Conquest, each of the Warlords' initial (Rank I) costumes are based on their default costumes from Samurai Warriors 3, and an original costume when they rank up to Rank II.

Among Koei's game franchises, this is the first collaboration effort for Nobunaga's Ambition all previous collaborations had been through the Warriors series (though a true Nintendo-themed Warriors game would not arrive until Hyrule Warriors years later). Among one of the key design elements of Ransei was the fact that the first Nobunaga's Ambition game featured 17 regions, just as there were 17 different Pokémon types at the time. Because Tsunekazu Ishihara was a fan of Nobunaga's Ambition and Tecmo-Koei president Kou Shibasawa was a fan of Pokémon, this presented an opportunity to work with each other. Pokémon Conquest was the second collaboration between Nintendo and Tecmo Koei, with the first being the Murasame Castle mode in Samurai Warriors 3.
