What is the Font Used in Pokemon Conquest?

What's the font used in Pokemon Conquest's dialogue? More specifically, since I assume it's some proprietary font compiled in the game, where have I seen it before? It looked extremely familiar as soon as I saw it.

Here's an example:

My first thought was Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. I compared the letterforms, and they do seem to be mostly similar but with some slight differences. Even though the differences are subtle, the look and feel of the fonts looks visibly different, so I'm wondering if there's another game that I'm thinking of.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance: The lowercase a and t look identical. But the tail of the FFTA e curves up whereas the tail of the Pokemon e lies flat; the FFTA i has a very subtle serif, whereas the Pokemon i does not.
