    i dont know if other people agree but is it just me or are there too many old pokemon in pokemon conquest. i really want the white and black start pokemon and maybe diamond and pearl to be in the front but their not. im glad this is on the dual screen nintendo version not the 3ds as i dont have that yet though.

  • zombi3grim - June 20, 2012 2:49 p.m.

    The older generations are the best.

  • xx_CaPTiiN_SpAiiN_zz - June 20, 2012 3:43 p.m.

    lol no the designs are boring and unoriginal take off your nostaligs goggles

  • zombi3grim - June 21, 2012 6:38 p.m.

    This a joke, right? The original 150 were the best. Compared to these new ones, whose names dont even match whatever the hell their supposed to be based on, not to mention they copy the hell out of the original 150. How can it be UNoriginal when it was THE original...

  • xx_CaPTiiN_SpAiiN_zz - June 22, 2012 12:29 a.m.

    please kid get your facts straight ok. pokemon is just a ripoff of digimon anyway and if you look digimon even have better designs lol. at least the new pokemon had some detail put into them.

  • Hobogonigal - June 25, 2012 12:37 a.m.

    Surely your trolling here right? Digimon was definitely after Pokemon...

  • xx_CaPTiiN_SpAiiN_zz - June 25, 2012 4:51 a.m.

    Hey I lived as a kid through that time and i can confirm which came first. you cant just believe wikipedia lol anyone can write stuff there

  • zombi3grim - June 25, 2012 1:46 p.m.

    So did I, dumbass. I didnt need wikipedia to prove me right because I remember watching the first episode digimon AFTER I already had a deck of Pokemon cards and thinking to myself "why did they copy this."

  • xx_CaPTiiN_SpAiiN_zz - June 26, 2012 6:38 p.m.

    what evidence do you have for them copying it??? pokemon copied the mon part and the evolution if you actually watched digimon had a more sophisticatd story

  • xx_CaPTiiN_SpAiiN_zz - June 26, 2012 6:39 p.m.

    *sophisticated.

  • zombi3grim - June 26, 2012 9:19 p.m.

    So even though the people who created AND published Digimon has the first episode listed airing March 7th, 1999. If you go to Pokemon.com, which is Pokemons official website and managed by the people who CREATED the fucking franchise, you can see that it was released in 1997. So, after ALLLLLL that, and ALLL these people, who have the SAME fucking experience you do tell you this, you STILL somehow think your right. Still. Honestly, what the fuck is wrong with you?

  • zombi3grim - June 26, 2012 9:24 p.m.

    Your trolling, arnt you? You HAVE to be trolling. You cant be serious with this. Never in my time spent on this site, which has been a number of years as this is a new profile, have I EVER seen someone as dumb as you. I really fucking mean that. I mean, ignoring ALL evidence posted to you, ignoring multiple people telling you that your wrong, you STILL cling to this asinine notion that your right. So, Im curious. Since your going by your childhood experience, and you know, not actuall fucking facts, when do YOU think Pokemon and Digimon came out? I dont give a fuck if you think Digimon had a better story. Thats irrelevant to this conversation. Its also your opinion, so it cant be proven. What CAN be proven however is what came first. And its BEEN proven.

  • Hobogonigal - June 29, 2012 2:16 a.m.

    A Wiki is not part of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is only one type of wiki. This is a site where loyal fans who love the series come to post relevant factually correct information. Unless Digimon fans are secretly part of a mass conspiracy in which they lie about when the franchise was made; grow a brain or stop trolling. 'nuff said.

  • funkmasterflip - June 29, 2012 1:02 p.m.

    Since when pokemon copied digimon? Are you frigging serious? Get your facts straight boy and stop trolling when you can't win.

  • c-c-c-combo breaker - June 29, 2012 3:48 p.m.

    >'stop trolling when you can't win.' I'm not sure you understand the definition of 'trolling'. When you respond to a troll, you lose.

  • funkmasterflip - June 30, 2012 12:27 a.m.

    Trolls won't win when they get a knuckle sandwich. And yes, I know the definition of "trolling".

  • c-c-c-combo breaker - June 30, 2012 7:42 a.m.

    The person throwing the 'knuckle sandwich' ends up looking like a pathetic thug. You still lose.

  • killswitchzero7 - July 1, 2012 11:11 p.m.

    Awesome job zombi3grim you showed that fucking troll what's up.

  • xx_CaPTiiN_SpAiiN_zz - July 2, 2012 10:24 a.m.

    define troll

  • zombi3grim - July 2, 2012 5:30 p.m.

    troll = xx_CaPTiiN_SpAiiN_zz (My god, that was a bitch to write out...)

  • xx_CaPTiiN_SpAiiN_zz - July 3, 2012 2:34 a.m.

    I dont see how i would be a troll especially as you respond to me. also try ctrl and c it works faster than typing. well just end this conversation on the fact that we have different opinons.... i have watched digimon since i was a kid while you decide to base your faith in random people on a website.

  • zombi3grim - July 3, 2012 9:09 a.m.

    Actually, I based my faith on the people who created digimon and pokemon since it has the dates established on THEIR websites, but okay. You go with your memories. I'll go with the people who made the series. I think they know when they fucking created something...

  • xx_CaPTiiN_SpAiiN_zz - July 3, 2012 3:26 p.m.

    you havent even spoken to the people who created the series accept it youve lost :)

  • funkmasterflip - July 3, 2012 6:04 p.m.

    The one you're claiming a thug isn't a thug. Its a guy who stomps someone and stops at nothing. I still win. C-C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BR-OOOPS!! Reversal!!! Please, there's always a comeback. Never underestimate me.

  • zombi3grim - July 3, 2012 9:13 p.m.

    Lolwut? Lost? Lost what? I dont HAVE to speak to them, they put it on their site! Not to mention, I have the SAME childhood memories as you do, except mine line up with the THOUSANDS of others who know which came first. Why are you still digging yourself a hole...

  • c-c-c-combo breaker - July 7, 2012 8:14 a.m.

    A comeback? I don't think so. More like 'responding without actually saying anything.' >victory

  • zombi3grim - July 7, 2012 3:38 p.m.

    Trying to win an e-argument = automatically losing. Just so you know...

  • KidJustKid - June 20, 2012 4:20 a.m.

    <cough>EU/UKRELEASEPL0X<cough> No idea why there would be a lag, and scares me into thinking there might not be one...

  • GameManiac - June 19, 2012 7:17 p.m.

    I love the Final Fantasy Tactics series. I love the Pokemon series even more. I just bought this game and I'm dying to see just how well the SRPG genre fits into the world of Pokemon.
