This is Pokemon Conquest for the NDS, a turn-based tactics game that features characters from the Samurai Warriors franchise (who are themselves based on real-life Japanese historical figures). It's understandable if you haven't heard of it because it was released shortly before Pokemon X and Y...

Over the past month or so I've been working as a guinea pig for Deijin27's RanseiLink editor, a program that you can use to create your own Pokemon Conquest ROM hacks (which you can view and download yourself at https://github.com/Deijin27/RanseiLink). In the meantime, the hack that I have in...

It's decent overall and I think you have a good idea what you're doing. There are a few redundant moves like Fake Out on Ludicolo and Crunch on Flygon; you don't need Crunch on Flygon because Absol is guaranteed to solo Phoebe. Phoebe always protects on the first turn so you can get the freest...

If you want 1000+ EXP per kill, that's not going to happen. Only legendary Pokemon can provide that amount of EXP, and that's only if they've been hit with a linked move. You can get good EXP from a lot of enemies in Magma Cavern (Rhydon, Golem, Onix), so try to accept jobs there. It gives a...

PMD1 was my favorite for completionism, and is the game in which I get most attached to team members I recruit along the way. PMD2 was my favorite for storyline and music, and also creative postgame shenanigans; it is the only game in which I figured out how to cheat and modify pokemon...

Best training move is linked Powder Snow + Growl or Linked Powder Snow + Odor Sleuth from Spheal/Swinub respectively. In the dojo, you can get decent exp from Dragon Maze, Team Rumblerock, Ghost Maze, and Team Hydro (B3F), in order of increasing xp yield and increasing difficulty. Best exp in...

In Gen 3, Mawile has no STAB moves at all, except possibly Hidden Power.

Manectric isn’t underrated. Players use it all the time, and I’d guess that no one talks about it because it plays very one-dimensionally. T-bolt what you can kill, switch out of what you can’t. You can easily make a unique team if you exclude heavily overused Pokemon like Aggron, Swellow, and...

I loved secret bases, but the decoration limit was always a little annoying. If only I could have had a pokemon storage system and vending machine in my base... Record mixing would have been hilarious if the NPC's team kept the original team's nicknames. I've always fancied my NPC giving people...

The right way to play is to not worry about minor stuff like team comp and type synergy. Almost literally every Pokemon you can encounter can be used effectively; my latest E4 run on Emerald featured an Illumise with no attacking moves as the MVP. (charm/moonlight/toxic/light screen) As long as...

I used to think Cradily was ugly, too, but then I realized that the "eyes" were just eyespots and the real eyes were the glowing orbs inside its head. It became one of my favorites after that, especially because it could pull off some very funny strategies like toxic + recover and barrier +...

^basically this. I've used both and they both perform really well as recover/calm mind sweepers. I just don't like how Latias has a back sprite that makes her look like a sonic the hedgehog character :/
