Well, the main hero in Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition is you. Players can choose a male of female protagonist who is paired with an Eevee. Why? This is just a guess, but Eevee can evolve into many other Pokémon with different elements, which could work as a gameplay mechanic.
The other characters in Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition, a crossover between Game Freak and Tecmo Koei, come from Japanese history. Character designs come from Koei’s art archives and we have comparison art from Samurai Warriors 3.
Nobunaga Oda wants to unite Japan under one ruler. In the Samurai Warriors games he’s seen as an enemy wielding a Serpent Sword and called a demon king. Zekrom is his partner in Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition.
Oichi is Nobunaga Oda’s younger sister. She has a kind personality in the Samurai Warriors games and she prefers a peaceful world than the war torn Sengoku period. Jigglypuff joins her in Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition.
