We’d previously reported that there was going to be a big new Pokemon game announced at Jump Festa – a Japanese comic and manga festival held over this past weekend – and early on we speculated that it would probably be Pokemon Grey.<\/p>\n

Well, as it turns out, we were wrong.<\/p>\n

Instead, what was announced was a Pokemon cross-over title (a first for the series) – in which Pokemons are going to the strategy RPG zone, teaming up with a Japanese game franchise I’ve never heard of called Nobunaga’s Ambition.<\/p>\n

From the screens 4Gamer posted, along with other information scoured from the announcement reports, it looks as if every character featured has a different companion Pokemon (probably matching their personality), with the protagonist joining up with Eevee.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For those that don’t know, Eevee can evolve into (currently) seven different states, so it’s probably a sign that the game will have some degree of choice and varying play-style. Other than that, though, there’s not much else known – not even a hint as to whether or not we’ll see it on our shores.<\/p>\n

The Pokemon brand is rather huge, globally, so I don’t see why not.<\/p>\n

The release date for Pokemon\/Nobunaga is spring 2012 in Japan land, and it seems it’s only on Nintendo’s DS, if branding is anything to go by.<\/p>\n

If you’re disappointed about not hearing about a new traditional Pokemon game, then hold out until January 14, when Nintendo is expected to make yet another big Pokemon announcement.<\/p>\n
