The great thing about the Pokemon games is that they create their own world better than any other game I've ever played. People say games like Skyrim do a good job of dropping the player in the middle of their world for them to discover and learn the lore of that world. In my opinion the core Pokemon titles do the best job of this than any other game I've ever played. Although while the spin-offs have kept the collecting aspect of the Pokemon series' main games, they missed the aspect that connects the player to the world. Pokemon Conquest fixes that for the most part and is, in my opinion, the best Pokemon spin-off ever made. I don't generally like tactical strategy games, but Pokemon Conquest was simple enough and kept many of the gameplay elements from the core Pokemon games keeping the learning curve easy and allowing people not very familiar with the genre to get into this easier rather than spending hours learning the basics of the game. I still think the core Pokemon games do a better job of creating memorable characters and getting the player invested in the Pokemon mythos, but this doesn't forget about that completely either.
The art style was a very nice change of pace too.
