    Default qwertysaur's adventure in Touhoumon: Blue Version

    After getting lost during the summer in the region of Unova, among other fantasy worlds, (video games are much more enticing when you have no internet for the summer ) I have a stable connection again and feel like doing a playthrough with all of you. Because I'm still in a pokémon mood, I am going to play a pokémon game, but not the usual kind. Together we will be playing a hack of FireRed called Touhoumon Blue version.



    There are a few notes about this hack. One is that instead of pokémon you catch and raise various characters from the Touhou Project games. Because the entire pokédex is redone, there are quite a few interesting type combinations to catch, like Electric/Fire or Ghost/Grass for example.

    Secondly the type chart is slightly changed, so you can get hit by a weakness that would not exist in the original game, or an attack might not be as effective.

    Thirdly several moves are altered, in either name, type, effect or all three. So even though it is a pokémon hack it feels like a different game.

    Fourthly almost all Touhoumon are roughly of equal strength (they have close to equal base stat totals), except for legendary and joke Touhoumon. So you can make your team however you want and not have to worry about the strength.

    Finally the unique part about Touhoumon Blue is that there are almost no barriers that prevent sequence breaking. You can go to Mount moon before beating Brock, and the only limits to your movement that I know of are Viridian Gym and Victory Road can't be entered until you satisfy the normal conditions. (I'm not sure about Saffron City, you might still need to clear Silph co before taking on Sabrina)

    So lets begin with how I will start this. (I am being lazy about this post with screenshots, next time there will be actual screenshots instead of just the sprites ) For those who have no idea what Touhou Project is, it's a series of bullet hell shoot em ups where little girls rain pretty colorful patterns of death upon each other, all made by one drunkard named ZUN. They are really fun to play and the music is amazing to listen too, so you don't mind dying a lot while figuring out how to dodge the various patterns. I'll give a brief explanation of each character as they appear. Feel free to ask more if you want a more detailed explanation.

    Am I a tomboyish girl?

    Or a feminine Girl? (note to self, make the background of these two images transparent when I get home)

    And which little girl will I take from the creepy old professor who studies little girls for a living

    We can choose from...

    A) cReimu the Tiny Miko Touhoumon.

    She is a Normal type, later becomes Normal/Flying and leans a good variety of attack moves. Also the most balanced starter. Reimu is the main character of the games, naturally talented but very lazy. whenever there is something going on, she will beat up whoever she finds and eventually find the cause of the incident, beat her up as well then have a tea party with her. (what the plot boils down to for the majority of the games) Her ability is the power to fly.

    B) cMarisa the White-Black Touhoumon

    she is an Electric type, later becoming Electric/Fire and makes a good special sweeper. Also she has the ability pickup, so she can be a very good source of money early in the game. The other main character, she meets Reimu's talent with a lot of hard work. A human magician, her magic focuses a lot on Light and Stars, with her signature attack being her Master Spark. (A huge laser) She also has a habit of stealing things claiming she is only borrowing them.

    or finally
    C) cSakuya the Tiny Maid Touhoumon

    she is an Ice type, later to become Ice/Steel and has several attacks that can freeze the opponent, as well as the best defense of the three starters. A mysterious human maid who works in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, (more info on that later) where she serves her master without any question. Sakuya has the ability to manipulate time at will, usually she stops time to position her knives. Also a homage to Dio Brande from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

    So please tell me my "gender" and which little girl I will take on my journey.

    So, when cSakuya evolves, does she show more cleavage or something?
    Pick the one in red anyway. She can fly, and if I could either steal, be an icy maid or fly, I'd fly.

    Cool, feel free to post your own screenshots as well.

    I'm not sure what Sakuya's final form will look like yet. I've only played up to Pewter city in this version as a test and I don't know what all the sprites are yet, because almost all of the sprites were updated from the newest version of the Japanese game.

    I'll hopefully start this later today but first the tie between Reimu and Sakuya will need to be broken.

    You can catch the other girls too so it doesn't really matter. I picked Sakuya and caught Marisa in Viridian forest XD

    I know about that. Also that cReimu is found at route 4, and cSakuya is in Mt Moon.

    I'm only going to catch one girl each area though, so it's all up to what everyone here wants me to catch.

    I have no idea what is going on here but I like it. Somehow they made pokémon even more creepy and strange than it originally was! Don't mind me while I go and throw balls at girls and put them in my collection.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    When you put it like that, it sounds a lot more like real life.

    Part One: The Journey Begins
    Alright, we have a unanimous choice for the tomboy and cSakuya wins for the starter. Lets get this adventure started!

    After the standard intro of grabbing the potion from my PC and walking into the grass, Oak drags me into his lab to give me my very first Touhou! My rival who is oddly named "Green" (Just went with the default because I felt like it) whines about me getting to pick first, but I ignore him and make my choice.


    Look how sweet she looks, I think as I name her "Jessweeee!" (forgot to add that you can suggest nicknames as well, so I went with the first female member I saw on the who's online list at the time I was playing )
    Docile nature does fit a maid. Green then grabs the closest Touhou orb to him and claims cReimu as his starter. Odd how he picks a starter that will be weak to mine once she evolves, but that is better for me in the end so I won't complain. Wanting to show off, he challenges me to a battle
    The battle is fierce, with cReimu attacking relentlessly with pound, even scoring a critical hit that brought Jessweeee down to 1 HP. It was a good thing I grabbed that potion, and Jessweeee took out her foe with her own critical hit. I leave the lab and head north to Viridian city. On my way I encounter several different Touhou, and engage in combat with them. During this, Jessweeee levels up two more times and learns her first new move: Knife Throw.

    At the Touhou mart in Viridian, the shopkeeper asks me to deliver a package to Oak. I shudder thinking about what an old man who studies little girls ordered, so I get back to Pallet town quickly to get rid of the box. at the lab, Oak decides to have me fulfill his dream of catching all the Touhoumon in the world, and gives me my own Touhoudex, as well as 5 Touhou orbs. I open the dex and look up Jessweeee
    How cute, I say as I close the dex and walk outside. I then look at the grass and wonder which Touhoumon I should catch first to add to my team. On my way to town and back I saw...


    Today there are 5 choices for me to catch, so vote for whichever little girl you want me to catch. Also feel free to suggest a nickname. Note that while most of the time wild Touhou will be female, there is a small chance that one will be male, and I am going to be catching the first one I see. The choices are
    cMystia
    Normal/Flying type. She is like Spearow. Common, and pretty average. Of note is her ability Diva, which only she has which increases the wild encounter rate. Mystia is a night sparrow, and her ability is to induce night blindness and to confuse humans with her singing. First appearing in Touhou 8, she is a random youkai that the player character beats up because she is in the way.

    cAya
    Another Normal/Flying. Aya is like Pidgey. Also common, but stronger than cMystia. cAya is very fast, and with her speed boost ability she will keep getting faster. Aya's ability is the manipulation of wind, and she first appears in a fanbook, and later in Touhou 9. A crow tengu, Aya runs a newspaper and is known to stretch the truth to make a story, making several others shy away from her to avoid being featured in her paper.

    cChen
    A ground type, Chen is the Rattata of this game. She will be showing up a lot as a wild Touhou, so get used to seeing her. Her ability is Run Away, which is very useful if I want to take any detours early on and survive the wild encounters I am not supposed to see until later in the game. Chen is both a Nekomata and a Shikigami, with her ability being Black Magical arts. She first appears as a random youkai the player beats up, and later she encounters the player in the extra stage, both as a midboss and an enemy projectile.

    cKanako
    Kanako is Grass/Electric, and she is a pretty solid wall that can also deal a lot of damage, especially since her types are strong against the first two gyms.She has the ability Pressure. Kanako is a goddess with the ability to create sky, and is the goddess of the Moriya shrine, which she took over from Suwako after defeating her in a war. She is the final boss of Touhou 10, where she transports her shrine to Gensokyo (the place where the Touhou series takes place) to collect faith, which triggers the plot of the game.

    cSuwako
    Suwako is Water/Ground, and like Kanako is quite strong, being focused on Special Attack rather than defense, making her a great special sweeper. She gets the ability water veil, and I find her sprite in this game to be quite adorable. Suwako is a goddess who has the ability to create Earth, and is the original goddess of the Moriya shrine, which Kanako took from her. However, she remained at the shrine due to her ability to control the local curse gods as well, which was something Kanako could not do. She is the extra boss of Touhou 10, fighting the player because it's fun.

    I suggest you pick Aya or Kanako. Aya has a very nice ability while Kanako is, like you said, useful for the first gyms (which aren't as easy as they once were). Or just go for Suwako since you already have a defensive Touhou.

    I'm at Mt. Moon with Marisa, cAlice, Sakuya and cAya I think I'll drop cAlice though ,since she and Sakuya would both fall to rock and fire.

    Oh and isn't the critical hit rate a bit high in this hack? I almost got killed at the first battle too. o.o

    Go into the Touhou center outside of Mt moon and get a Fairy. It's the eevee of the game and you can get a Zombie fairy if you use a Fire Stone on it.

    yeah, dropping cAlice would be a good idea. If you go back to Route 2 you can get a cRan, who becomes part Psychic when she evolves, or you can wait grab cYukari later in the game who makes a really good tank and can dish out a good amount of damage as well. She is a pain to catch though because she loves to teleport away. Also there is cReisen who is in Mt moon.

    cReimu is the hardest starter to beat in the first battle by far. You have to use leer a couple times and get lucky, because her damage output is a lot higher than Sakuyas.

    Edit:

    I'm playing on an emulator (actually the only way you can even play this game) and taking screenshots as I play It plays exactly like pokémon, just with changed characters to catch.
