Description

What is Touhoumon?

Have you heard of the bullet hell video game franchise Touhou Project? The one that has been on since the 1990s? The one with the wonderful music? It has a lot of characters, with several factions of people, spirits, ghosts, youkai, and gods… “How about we substitute the Pokemon in games with the Touhou characters?” someone pondered one day. and then BAM! Touhoumon was created. Noteworthy derivatives include Touhoumon Purple, Touhoumon Another World, Touhoumon Zoku Gensokyo Scenario, and Touhou Puppet Play Enhanced, among others. 

Features

• Alternate evolutions! Expanding on AE’s idea of the transcended puppets, every single puppet has one “Alt” form, which plays very differently compared to their normal forms. They can be accessed by using a mystery shard on a puppet’s middle evolution stage. Almost every puppet has an Alt form, and most of the exceptions don’t even have Ex forms. Even minor characters like Shizuha and Meira get Alts! There are five mystery shards during the main game, and more can be bought during the postgame. Some puppets also have other forms, such as advent and PC98 forms.
• Your starters this time around are mostly 1.5 starters, with Reimu and Marisa reprising their roles; but Sakuya has been replaced with Kokoro in order to form a Faith/Reason/Heart triangle. 
• The scripts have been edited heavily, so NPC’s only mention pokemon when it’s contextually appropriate. Otherwise, they’ll refer to puppets and touhou-ish things. Additionally, some very important scripts like move descriptions, Pokedex entries, and even the type chart have been edited to be fully accurate. There have also been mass decapitalizations, so NPC’s no longer shout their important lines at you.
• The type chart has been edited from the 1.8 charts to bring three new types to the table! The first is wind, which is now separated from both electricity and flying. The second is the fairy, brought over from Kalos and modified to fit Touhou’s fairies a bit better. the final type is the dragon, carried over from 1.5 and is just as rare as it was back then.
• New gym leaders! While their personalities are nothing exciting, They provide for a fresh Kanto experience as you have to deal with whole new gym types. Giovanni is still around doing his earthly thing, however, and there are reports that Sabrina is still somewhere in the region.
• New puppets! Many puppets have been added into the game compared to 1.5 vanilla, such as every puppet added from UFO to DDC, as well as a few other puppets such as Rinnosuke and the Watasuki sisters. All of these puppets, along with the PC98 puppets, are available in the main game.
• Tasteful difficulty! Like touhoumon purple version, gym leaders and important trainers in this game focus more on playing puppets to their strengths, as opposed to overwhelming you with bloated BST’s or throwing out puppets that don’t share the gym type at you. While this hack isn’t as hard as purple, it’s about on-par with some of the harder pokemon games. 
• Reusable TMs! Just like the later pokemon gens, TMs can now be used as much as you like. Feel free to add a bit of diversity into your movesets without having to worry about losing a TM forever!

Known Bugs

• The EV training guide in the readme folder isn’t very comprehensive
• The E4 showdown pictures show the wrong sprites.
• All of the out-of-dex puppets share cries with AltAlice
• The postgame only has been edited to include the extended puppets on hard mode, so nobody uses any of the new puppets in the main patch.
• The 1.8 sprite patch adds a bit of glitchy static into the dex’s type entries between Suika and Wriggle. thankfully it’s just graphical, unlike the dex glitch below.
• The Rinnosuke trade is holding the scope lens instead of the Kusanagi. This is intentional until I figure out how to properly change its effect to double physical attack
• CMarisa has no cry. Her evolved forms have their proper cries but hers is just silence for some reason.
• The sprites during the credits are also mostly wrong/glitched.
• Some of the egg moves are still normal pokemon egg moves.
• The sprites from the intro have the wrong palettes.
• The pokedex is somewhat glitchy. Entries are unlocked almost at random and looking at one glitch entry at the end of the dex will crash the game if it shows up. (just loading it causes the crash, looking at it without loading up the entry won’t do anything)
• Eggs crash the game when viewed in the party. They can be dispensed in the PC, and hatch normally. The Kin Island Egg Shop and the four island daycare have been blocked off until this glitch can be fixed, so eggs are currently unobtainable in the current version.
