just picked this game up, kinda felt really nerdy but still.Got it on the 20th; had a cute girl cashier at Best Buy. No regret life.

I do wish the menu's where a bit easier to navigate though.Indeed. I especially abhor item management because they separated it from obtaining information. Why can't I equip items on Pokémon by simply going into "info?" (Which shouldn't even be called that, it should be "Pokémon.") No, I have to go back and select the "equip" option. Not only that, having to move my cursor all over the damn world just to try and find the kingdom where the Warrior I'm looking for is stationed is a tedious navigation irritant that just shouldn't exist in a 2012 release. When I go into the menu and select info, there's simply no reason for it not to have an exhaustive list of all Warriors under my command. Also, why the hell is there no information on the Pokémon (and barely anything about the Warriors, too) available when selecting items to equip? That'd kinda help me, y'know, decide what to equip in the first place.
Because the gameplay and ambition of the title are so stellar, these simple design flaws just grind my Klinklangs!
To end things on a good note, however, whoever drew the art for this game deserves a gold star; the Pokémon art is so pandering and charismatic. Also, "capturing" Pokémon is much less frustrating here than it can be at times in the main series, and having included the freedom to change between your Pokémon's available Abilities in exchange for some Gold is an interesting twist. Now I don't have to "catch" dozens of the same species just to get the Abillity I want. That always drives me up the wall in the main series. Oh, and don't even get me started on Natures, which, thankfully, we don't have to worry about here, either.
...Actually, screw that, include them next time, guys.

A Warrior can only get pokemon by linking with them, as they have no pokeballz. The link mechanic is what blocks the trading.The idea is that once a Pokémon is retrieved from the wild, it's, well, not a wild Pokémon anymore, so while your explanation makes sense, we can get around it by thinking that if two Warriors want to exchange buddies, their Pokémon, although now link...less(?) will only be that way for the few seconds it takes for them to use their tiny Pokéfeet to walk thier asses over to their new partner.
If two Moblins in Ganondorfs army want to trade halberds, the weapons don't momentarily become no one's for the 3 seconds they aren't in anyone's hands as they're throwing each other their weapons. That's ridiculous.

Just beat the game, and now after reading through stuff online, to be able to play as your Main hero again you need to beat all 32 Stories first........COME ON!!!!!!!
On a side question what did other people evolve their eevee to? I choose Vaporion, while my least favorite evolution of eevee, I already had 2 firetypes and a grass type in my main party.

What was your play time when you beat the game, deadsx? I get the feeling I waste far too much time recruiting useless Warriors/Pokémon and grinding. I'll probably restart after I beat the game anyway; replay value's high here. That beating 32 stories, I won't worry about right now.
Which brings me to another complaint, which carries over from the main series: why is there only one slot for a file? Fire Emblem has three, come on, Pokémon Conquest! This is exactly the reason why I always buy both paired versions of the main series' releases; at some point, I'm going to want to start a new game without losing my current file.
As soon as my link gets to 70%, I'm evolving my Eevee into an Espeon; have you seen how sexy that artwork is? >:3

took me around 8-10 hours? Not really much need to grind as, all you need is your main army (mine was me, chick, and 4 normal warriors(Vaporion, Wigglytuff, Charzard, Darmanitan, Carnivine, Quagsire), and my rear guard was All the hero warriors I recruited, to block counter attacks from the npc kingdoms which rarely attack. But the grinding and recruiting the useless guys does help in the long run, as when doing to extra stories if your lucky enough to recruit one you have, you get the pokemon he had at the time, link may be reset, but having a charzard helps makes things quicker.
the one save file, is probably just due to lack of space, and when has pokemon ever let you save more than one file at a time?

I've beaten the main story. So right now I'm trying to clear out the lower level stories and work my way up. Mitsuhide's story is damn hard though. Nobunaga's story kicked ass because you get to play the bad guy.

i think you should be able to gain rulers on your team by beating them with at least 2 of the recruiting qualifiers. Because i'm doing what i always do in final fantsy tactics type games and all my warriors will have 50+% before i cap the fighting kingdom, and i have to have beaten the electric leader with 2 of the qualifiers at least 20 times now.

But from what I've played, those special warlords have special reqirments for you to beat them to join you. Normal qualifiers such as super effective ko or 4 turns doesnt matter. For example (don't quote me) I think the bug leaders requirement is to ko him without letting him use his skill to restore his health. As for the electric leader, I've always got her in the first fight so, I havn't figured out her reqiurment yet, but she's pretty easy just go after her first and hit her hard.
And to the guy earlier who made a comment about rule 34

I beleive her requirement is beating her with something thats not very effective. thats what i did that id never done when i got her.
Also that cant be the bug guys one, i went up against him with 2800 power to his 600 and killed all his guys in 1 shot including him but didnt capture him. i dont really want to though >.<
does anyone else have an eevee with 80% link after only getting to the bug guys XD. In other words is anyone else ocd like me. i feel ready to take on nobunaga right now. brave bird up in that shizzle.

ok, I checked out some sites, and they say in addition to the usual requirement you have to land the finishing blow with a Warlord (not the generic guys)

This is what I've been able to gather about the Warlord recruiting mechanics:
1. They have to be defeated within 4 turns, with a super-effective attack if not defeated within 4 turns, or if your character(s) sustained no damage from the Warlord they will join you.
2. The finishing blow has to come from a non-generic commander.

Ah, finished it finally a couple of days ago, now playing first of the stories. Great game indeed.
Waited until late in the game to evolve it into Glaceon. Awesome pokémon, and made beating Nobunaga surprisingly easy. Didn't even expect to do it on the first try after all the trouble I had with some previous castles, but had no trouble at all.

i just did the litle guys story then started the fire guys. It says the fire guys is 3 stars and then i see "Unite all of ransei" and i'm like what the hell do they think 5 stars is? capture all of ransei alone with no allies?
EDIT- i had the most trouble with the ghost kingdom cause no one uses dark pokemon effectively in the main story that you can get easily.

Have managed to take three castles in one turn at one time, even. Kenshin is still giving me a lot of trouble, but everything else keeps falling quite easily.

As was flying, until I changed my strategy. Go to them, and they always get to strike first. Wait for them to come to you, and there's nothing they can do to stop you.
Shortest castle battle ever was against Shingen. All banners claimed on the 4th turn. :D
edit: And done. Trying the trap next.
