Gameplay

See also: Gameplay in the Nobunaga's Ambition series

The player, accompanied by an Eevee, travels throughout the Ransei Region (ランセ地方, Ranse-chihō) befriending Pokémon and battling Warlords (ブショー, Bushō) and Warlord Leaders (ブショーリーダー, Bushō Rīdā) to conquer the region and unite it as one nation; Warlords and Warlord Leaders can join the player's party, allowing the player access to more Pokémon. The gameplay is turn-based strategy, with different Pokémon being capable of different attacks and means of movement. Warlords also have unique battle-changing powers that boost their Pokémon's powers. The various Warlords and Warlord Leaders are named after figures in Japanese history, with the game's Nobunaga (ノブナガ) being a take on the real Oda Nobunaga.

Plot

Narrative: A legend is foretold that the one who unifies all the 17 kingdoms of the Ransei Region (ランセ地方, Ranse-chihō), will have a chance to encounter the Legendary Pokémon, Arceus, who created the Ransei Region. Warriors and Warlords all over the region sought to fullfill the foretold legend, thus bringing Ransei's peacful era to an end in battles.

The game initiates off in the Aurora kingdom, where the Player dwells, as the Player is proclaimed as the new Warlord of Aurora. The nearby kingdom of Ignis sends warriors to ambush Aurora, but falls in defeat against the Player and Oichi. Oichi explains to the Player that all of the other kingdoms of Ransei had become aggressive and hostile towards each other, in their own destiny of fulfilling the Ransei Legend. This initiates the Player's harrowing journey of unifying other nations, hoping to restore peace upon Ransei.

Throughout the Player's journey, Oichi explains that Nobunaga is the main threat of the Ransei Region. Oichi explains that Nobunaga's ambition is to fulfill the Ransei Legend and use Arceus's power to demolish Ransei.
