I have played pokemon conquest
It has no weapons or armor. However the trainer sprites look like they are wearing some kind of traditional suit. The fighting gameplay is just like fire emblem. Your trainers are away from the battle field command your pokemon to move in the field. The pokemon can only move so far in the field. If the pokemon is near the opponent then he can attack (they only have 1 or two attacks) (if the pokemon knws long range moves like water gun then they can attack from a distance). They are 17 castles, each reprisenting there own element. You came from the castle of normal types, thus you start out with eevee. The villain with the japanese name of nobunga wants to rule the region. Later in the game, you fight him and he has a shiny rayquaza. Once you beat him, peace is restored and you will be a warlord which will be known forever. By the way the region is in the shape of arceus :P
