What's the deal with these?
its pokemon, but with touhou characters instead of pokemon

basically think of it as Emerald, but with a slightly modified type chart, Phys/Spec split implemented, and a more challenging (but not stupidly hard) difficulty curve

there's a bunch of touhoumon games of varying quality but purple is one of the better ones that's easier to understand

Ultima66 posted:

I don't think the Touhoumons are better than TPDP (Touhou Puppet Dance Performance) and TPDP is unironically one of the best fangames. Though I will say there's something unsatisfying about how TPDP doesn't have different sprites for different styles/forms.
TPDP is also somewhat more of a pain in the rear end to install (especially if your system isn't set to japanese), and is tailored to people who already like touhou, whereas Purple can be played on anything that can run GBA games and requires no knowledge beyond "oh yeah, I think I've seen Bad Apple at some point"

I like how half the characters in the game look like typical feudal Japan types, and the other half look like people in regular modern clothes. Irida falls in the latter half too.

It's probably this...ugh. For godsakes she's just a cute vegetable, it feels like sexualizing a Kirby character honestly. Frankly I think she looks neat like a sleek lil' ballerina. She's going to be my protection against dark types since the rest of my team would get slaughtered.

It (and many of the others) looks like it was created by taping oddly-shaped shreds of cardboard together and sticking googly eyes on them lol

You mean the weird flaps that ursaring already had on its shoulders? And the forehead insignia like teddiursa has, only as a full moon (with some clouds over it indicated by the dirt)?

i'm well aware that people want to date the sexy lizards and plants, my point is that instantly going to "people are obviously mad because this thing is less sexy now" instead of the myriad of other reasons someone might not like a design as much feels like you're going out of your way to be mad at a guy you made up.

especially because new liligant is still a sexy plant

there's a whole lot of pokemon that are way smaller 'officially' than people normally think of them.

I like that you can run around during battles, for some reason

You can also be hit during battles. Unknown yet if this means you actually take damage, but if you know your opponent has some big attacks, probably not a good idea to stand right next to your critter.


HopperUK posted:

Anyone seen gameplay? Does it look fun? I was totally unexcited with all the official releases but Ronin Owl might suck me back in

Quite a bit of leak footage showing battles where multiple Pokemon can gang up on you at once. Enemy trainers can swap out Pokemon, and the new turn order system can allow them to attack immediately if they're fast enough.

Oh, and while your Pokemon can only use 4 moves at once, you can go into your inventory and change out your Pokemon's moves as you see fit.

Basically, they're taking a lot of old school Pokemon things and changing things up quite a bit. Game looks like it might actually be really good.

Ok, so I played 3 hours of PLA tonight, just passed the first boss type battle, the glowing Pokémon under the big tree. Didn’t want to go much further since I’ll have to replay it on release.

Holey moley this game is fun as hell. it’s a good mix of Pokémon, Monster Hunter, and Breath of the Wild.

Runs at a solid 30FPS in handheld, dips a bit docked but no worse than BOTW.

If anyone has questions about the early game I’ll answer them in the morning

When you craft poke balls can you add new colors? I know outside of standard, great and ultra there's light balls and heavy balls but I'm unsure if you can elaborate on their appearance with the right materials. All the heavy balls seem to be pitch black for example.

I had only unlocked regular and heavy balls from where I stopped. Other ball types are unlocked through the expedition rank system which replaces gyms. It’s also what determines what level Pokémon will obey you but I didn’t see anywhere to customize the balls.

Crafting itself isn’t too tedious either. you can craft from anywhere, materials are everywhere, and you can batch craft so you don’t have to keep slamming A like Animal Crossing

E: Oh I also forgot, you use Pokémon to collect certain crafting materials and bonk berries out of trees. They also get a bit of XP for doing it as well.

Well thank christ for the second part. Making rare balls in Sw/Sh was something straight out of hell.
