Pokemon and samurai collide in Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition [UPDATE]

CoroCoro magazine recently teased the reveal of a brand new, “shocking” Pokemon title to be revealed in their January 2012 issue.  Turns out Jump Festa had other plans, seeing as they decided to showcase the game early.There is a chance this isn’t the game, but I doubt it. If the combination of Pokemon and Nobunaga’s Ambition isn’t going to shock people I don’t know what is.

There isn’t much to say on Pokemon + Nobunaga’s Ambition yet since we know little of it. The game seems to take place during the Sengoku period when samurai and armored generals still existed. Now imagine that era, but with Pokemon crawling about fighting alongside these warriors. Based on the screenshots posted on 4Gamer it looks like the game will be a SRPG. It’s set to release for the DS in Japan next spring with Tecmo Koei and Pokemon Company working together on it.

Edit: Pokemon fansite Serebii was nice enough to upload a trailer for the game, enjoy!
