History Characters / PokemonConquest

* MusicalAssassin: He constantly peppers musical terms such as "March to my beat" into his speech. Alas, he lacks the musical instrument he had in ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'', but to compensate for that, if you get him through Wi-Fi he'll have a [[MakeMeWannaShout Chingling]] as well as an Oshawott.

* {{God}}: The creator of Ransei. Being Arceus, the creator of the whole Pok´mon universe, means this is a given.

* ImprobableAimingSkills: Her special abilities allow her to hit her target no matter what. Given that her best partner is a powerful Empoleon that uses Hydro Pump, this ends up being very deadly. Additionally, her aiming skills being accurate make a lot of sense when you realize that in ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'' she’s an ArcherArchetype.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Nobunaga decided to conquer the other nations because he had realized [[spoiler:that the warriors and warlords fighting to unite Ransei were starting to forget their Pokemon were living beings instead of tools of war, and he vowed to destroy Arceus to stop the endless conflict and bring the region to peace before it was too late.]]

* {{Barrier Warrior}}: His special ability ''Lazy Bones'' suggest that this is his tactic as this ability not only blocks critical attacks but also blocks status alignments contrast to Motonari who blocks critical hits and increase speed. This sets Hanbei up as a defense warlord that really comes in handy on certain stages like Spectra, Viperia and Dragnor.

->''""This young lady's got a lot of fight in her, you know!"''

* {{Bishounen}}: Long-haired and fair-featured.

* {{Bishounen}}: Gorgeously styled shoulder-length hair helps him pull this off.

* {{Bishounen}}: More rugged than some but still very good-looking.

* {{Bishounen}}: Reigning champion in the game, to the point he gets roped into the Greatest Beauty competition despite protesting he's a male.

* OverprotectiveDad: He doesn't like the idea of having Gracia participate in the junior contest and even when she wins in her story, he still worries for her. Unlike other examples, it's more subdued.

* PeekABangs: His hair covers his left eye.

* JokeCharacter: His Pineco is a very good Pokémon to have because it can eat Potions from the enemy and does considerably good damage to Psychic and Dark Pokémon. Once it evolves into Forretress though, that's when he becomes this as Forretress knows Gyro Ball that does damage based on speed... as a result he'll almost always be doing one damage. That being said, it's not ''necessary'' to evolve his Pineco even to get Yoshihiro's transformation.
* LethalJokeCharacter: In spite of the above, Yoshimoto is an incredibly effective Warrior in the hands of a skilled player. Forretress makes for an excellent StoneWall in spite of its lack of damage, and is invaluable if enemies choose to go on the offense. Or, if you choose to find him a non-Perfect Link, his Warrior Skills can make otherwise fragile Bug-types into viable frontal-assault troops.

* PeekABangs: On the side of the eye where he wears an eyepatch.

* BareYourMidriff: Her outfit doesn't so much "bare" her midriff as proudly show it off.

* BareYourMidriff: Like Kunoichi, Kai covers less of her skin at rank 2, sporting what is essentially a bikini top and little else to cover her torso.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's a sweet girl who doesn't like using Pokémon for fighting, but she and her Jigglypuff/Wigglytuff are willing to protect their home country when invaders come along. Becomes {{Exaggerated|Trope}} if you give her another, much more powerful Pokémon, of which she has a surprising number she can get high links with. Not many people would mess with Aurora once she gets a ''Hydreigon'' on her roster...

* CrutchCharacter: In "The Legend of Ransei." Jigglypuff is decently strong in the early game against the various unevolved Mons, and her healing ability can be very useful in a pinch, but as the campaign progresses you'll be fighting enemies that deal far more damage than she can heal (due to it being a fixed 50 HP) and have much better stats than Jigglypuff. This is downplayed if you get lucky with a traveling merchant showing up, where you can buy a Moon Stone and have Jigglypuff evolve into Wigglytuff, but you still can't evolve Oichi herself until the postgame. [[TakeAThirdOption Alternatively]] you can ditch the Jigglypuff entirely and get her an attacking 'Mon like Staraptor, Alakazam, Bisharp, an Eeveelution, or '''Hydreigon''', all of which she has a max of 90% link with (except for the last, which has a max of 88%), and she can use while still keeping her full party heal.

%%* NaiveEverygirl: Very naive, but pleasant and kind.

* SilkHidingSteel: She's mostly a NiceGirl who specializes in Normal-types and healing... but her ''other'' type specialty is Dragon, allowing her to make use of powerful bruisers like Dragonite and Garchomp if Wigglytuff isn't cutting it for you. [[spoiler:She is Nobunaga's sister, after all.]]

* CrutchCharacter: Eevee is relatively powerful at the beginning of the game, but only because it has a relatively high link level. Once you take a few kingdoms and add more Pokémon to your army, Eevee's only saving grace is its Celebrate ability. It gets a boost after you reach Rank II, being able to boost its Strength and Range, but it's still an uphill struggle taking it into battle. However, once you get the chance to evolve Eevee, MagikarpPower kicks in to avert this trope.

* AnimalMotifs: Monkeys, which is appropriate since the real Hideyoshi was often called "Monkey-face."

* RecurringElement: Being a well-read researcher you meet near the beginning of the game, he's effectively Ransei's equivalent of the Professors in the main series. While he's not named after a tree like the actual Professors, he does specialize in Grass-types and rules over Ransei's Grass-type kingdom.

* AxCrazy: This game toned down his overall craziness in comparison to ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'', but it’s very obvious that he’s insane. He’s only interested in fighting the protagonist and all of his quotes revolve around battling and the thrill of violence on the battlefield. He's also more or less the only Warlord who is shown carrying something that ''looks like a weapon''. Appropriately enough, his starter is Deino, which evolves into the infamously hostile-to-everything-that-moves Hydreigon (and in the final story, it comes fully-evolved).

%%* {{Tsundere}}: Type A -- ''especially'' to Muneshige.%%Explain.

%%* BrotherSisterTeam: With Aya.

* SupportPartyMember: At Rank 2, his Warrior Skill gives a ''massive'' boost to nearby allies' Range, easily turning your MightyGlacier into a LightningBruiser, and Braviary's Sky Drop combined with its high Range allows it to easily pin down an opponent despite its lack of damage.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Downplayed; most characters have their ''Samurai Warriors'' outfits at Rank I and a ''Pokémon''-exclusive outfit at Rank II, whereas Nobunaga gets it the other way around. Consequently, his ensemble doesn't include any reflections of his Pokémon, although it does share some of Hydreigon's colour scheme.

* PowerUpLetdown: As Nobunaga can't get Zekrom without having Hydreigon to get to Rank II, it's immediately apparent to the player that the legendary Pokémon is statistically better, yet strategically worse. Hydreigon's Dragon Pulse hits the three squares immediately before it, whereas Zekrom's Bolt Strike can only hit immediately before him. Hydreigon also has the Levitate ability, letting it bypass dangerous terrain, while Zekrom is ground-bound. [[spoiler:Averted once they get replaced by Rayquaza, who has Hydreigon's strategical advantage with Dragon Pulse and being part-Flying type, Zekrom's statistical advantage with being a legendary, and an ability that makes its attack stronger the farther it travels.]]

* DefinitelyJustACold: The excuse he comes up with when questioned about his health. [[spoiler: It's really tuberculosis.]]

* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Kanbei’s blue.

%%* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Hanbei's red.%%How?

* TheUnsmile: Hanbei even lampshades that Kanbei needs to smile more or he’ll end up frowning like he is now. Kanbei retorts that this is his normal face.

%%* BrotherSisterTeam: With Kenshin.

* SoreLoser: Her bio claims that she hates losing, [[InformedAttribute though in her in-game quotes, she doesn't actually take defeat much worse than most other characters.]]

%%* DeadpanSnarker: See above.
* ExtraOreDinary: He's a Steel-type user.

* {{God}}: The creator of Ransei.

* MasterOfAll: He has high HP, high range, high power, hits multiple targets when it attacks, recovers HP every turn, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking can scale high cliffs]]. Unless you're outnumbered by multiple powerful Warriors who are still in top condition, you pretty much have to let it die on purpose.

* PurposelyOverpowered: You ''have'' to use it in the final battle, so it's strong enough to do the job. On top of its ablity and stat range, the Link is instantly at maximum for your hero at Rank II (70%), whereas newly-made Links normally default to about 3/4 of your active Pokémon's Link rate.
* SuperpowerLottery: What do you expect with an ability called "Omnipotent"? Its ability affords it HP recovery every turn, it can climb up and down high terrain, it has a chance to avoid enemy attacks, and its attack does full damage to all Pokemon, ignoring resistances and immunities from typing.

* GirlishPigtails: Already has one when you first get her, but when she transforms she gets {{mega twintails}}.

* TheRedBaron: He mentions (only once) that he’s the "One-Eyed Dragon." It's also the name of his unique Warrior Skill, which increases the range of all Pokémon, and is alluded to by the title of his story, "The Dragon's Dream." Ironically, the closest he gets to an actual connection with Dragon-types is being TheStarscream toward Nobunaga.

* ShipTease: She seems to fall for the player character [[AmbiguouslyBi regardless of gender]], though this makes sense seeing how the player charcter is very similar to Azai.

The main antagonist of ''Pokémon Conquest'' and the warlord of Dragnor. UsefulNotes/OdaNobunaga seeks to reunite all of Ransei so he could destroy it. By the time the game starts, he has already conquered half of the seventeen nations and it's up to the player to prevent his advancing. He specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon and while you fight him with Zekrom in-story, he starts with Gabite post-game with his special links being Hydreigon and Zekrom.

* IncurableCoughOfDeath: He doesn't die when he coughs, but it’s a huge MoodWhiplash at the end of his chapter when he starts coughing uncontrollably. See IllBoy for the reason why.

* IllBoy: It's not apparent until you finish Hanbei’s episode. It’s then do you realize that he’s very sick. From ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'' and based on his historical counterpart, it’s easy to see that [[spoiler: he has tuberculosis]].

* NiceHat: His Rank II helmet is very sunny.

%%* NiceHat: Wears one.

* NiceHat: His trademark helmet, that adds Braviary feathers to it when he transforms.

* NiceHat: She gets a large witch hat after transformation.

%%* NiceHat: He wears one.

* NiceHat: At Rank II. A nice ''top hat'' at that.

%%* BlowYouAway: He's a Flying specialist.

* {{Troll}}: Constantly trolls Yukimura to the point of getting him flustered. Fanon takes {{up to eleven}}, though in canon it seems more like an attempt to get his ward to lighten up a bit.

* CrutchCharacter: In "The Legend of Ransei." Jigglypuff is decently strong in the early game against the various unevolved Mons, and her healing ability can be very useful in a pinch, but as the campaign progresses you'll be fighting enemies that deal far more damage than she can heal (due to it being a fixed 50 HP) and have much better stats than Jigglypuff. This is downplayed if you get lucky with a traveling merchant showing up, where you can buy a Moon Stone and have Jigglypuff evolve into Wigglytuff, but you still can't evolve Oichi herself until the postgame.

* TheArtifact: In-game he becomes this. In the post main-game storylines he keeps popping up after a few months in the first year, and never teaches you anything new. He does only appear your first time through a given story, but [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters look at the number of Warlords up there]] and account for the fact that they ''all'' have their own playable stories.

* RapunzelHair: The female protagonist has thigh-length hair in a ponytail, which upgrades to a pair of twintails after her second transformation.

One of Hideyoshi’s strategist that is very loyal to him. Kanbei is a strict and to-the-point strategist that thinks the end result is the only thing that matters. As a result, he has a cynical view of the world in contrast to Hanbei who likes to think positive. Despite their different views on the scale of idealism vs. realism, the two are very close. He specializes in Ghost Pokémon, starting out with Duskull. His perfect link, however, is with the Litwick family.

* DemotedToExtra: As one of Hideyoshi’s feared strategists, he and Hanbei end up missing from the main story, as having so many warlords in the very first kingdom would make things too difficult. Kanbei in particular would make the initial Ignis battle basically unwinnable, as he specializes in a Ghost-types while Normal-types are all you get at that point in the game.
