Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition Announced, Confuses Everyone

In what's bound to be the most "out of left field" story of the weekend, the The Pokemon Company and Koei have announced Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition for the original DS. An official site has launched, and the debut trailer can be found there.

I think it's safe to say that no one saw this being the next step for the Pokemon series. No word of a US release date, but I wouldn't be surprised if this quirky title doesn't find its way Stateside.
