Re: Let's Play Touhoumon - Gotta Graze 'Em All!
Yeah, Team Rocket are a little hazy on the whole "dealing with intruders" issue. Although I have to say, the Dark T'mons they have in this version are a cool touch. I'm looking forward to the next installment, when Remilia, Flandre and Utsuho all show up at just about the exact same time. The voting process will be insane.

Re: Let's Play Touhoumon - Gotta Graze 'Em All!
Let's Play Touhoumon - Chapter 2-3
SpoilerFinally, fresh air at last! Out of that dark, dank, and irritating cave!
Upon exiting Mt. Moon, I followed the road to the charming coastal town of Cerulean City. How fortunate for me that another gym was conveniently located here! Looks like I can finish another piece of that Viridian forest man's given quest. But first...
Renko also happened to be in town. And, as is the custom in Gensokyo, when two friends meet, a battle must inevitably result.
Renko showed off her new evolved Aya. How cool! I'm sure mine will be just as cool one day.
OK, maybe not as fragile as hers, perhaps.
This next Touhoumon sounded familiar, but I don't think I've seen such a creature yet. Her chibi Patchouli was able to copy my Shinku's ability...which was completely useless anyway, so it never even mattered in the slightest. However, her vast control over different special elements gave her great type coverage for finding weaknesses.
Up next was a familiar sight, only this time she was more dangerous than ever before. Renko's newly evolved starter combined exceptional durability with a decent arsenal of accurate attacks.
Sakuya was especially noteworthy for her annoying habit of freezing other Touhoumon in place, forcing either a switch or a decidedly one-sided battle. I can already see this getting old really fast...
Magical Mary was able to settle their old rivalry that stretched since our very first battle together, but Renko's last Touhoumon got off a swift and nasty finisher. But with Believe it! and Asakura still in reserve, I knew I had this fight in the bag.
Renko was a good sport, as always. After the battle, she explained to me why she was there (as is once again customary to do after, not before, a fight in Gensokyo).
Maybe it'd be worth my while to pay this ZUN fellow a visit as well. Eager to gain whatever edge I could from meeting such a reknowned and esteemed personality, I set off north across the bridge leading out of Cerulean City.
Wait, what's this? Oh, you have got to be kidding me! Instead of an annoying toll bridge, or maybe even a short fetch quest, I have to fight my way across a small army of amateur trainers?
Fine, fine. Let the torment begin. The prize better be worth it.
Up first was the ever-familiar fairy catcher and his dance of puny fairies. Except this time, most of them weren't as puny. Looks like Renko and I weren't the only ones who started evolving their Touhoumon. Honestly, I'm shocked at just how high this guy's Touhoumon levels are, compared to what I had expected.
Although...I do find it rather amusing that up till now the levels of everything I've encountered have followed a gradual and steady curve. I love it when the universe plays nicely with me.
The next trainer showed me some new grass types that I haven't enountered before. Um...what were their names again? Oh well, must not have been important.
The third trainer threatened me with some more evolved forms of Touhoumon that I've encountered before. No longer in their chibi forms, these stronger creatures provided a greater challenge than just what their level alone could have previously indicated. But of course, the experience points they yield were all the sweeter as well.
Personally, I dislike having redundant moves of the same type, and would much rather prefer any form of utility over nothing but straightforward attack. Asakura now has a good trump card against enemy stat boosts and other annoying effects that I want gone. (Thank you 2nd generation!)
The fourth trainer just rehashed those grass types from earlier, albeit at a higher level. Nope, the names still aren't ringing a bell.
The last trainer...just threw a bucket at my face. OK, what was that?
Incidentally, I got really excited when Magical Mary learned Spore, but then realized that it doesn't do what I thought it did. Instead, now it has an 80% chance of mushroomizing its victim, making them feel strange and occassionally attack themselves. Oh, and I guess it also messes with their controls on the overworld map, but I wouldn't know much about that.
With that, I have conquered these five trainers that have blockaded my progress for no reason whatsoever! Let this be a lesson to all those who will use Touhoumon for the evil purpose of halting plot progress. OK, now gimme my prize.
So now the local crime syndicate has been reduced to recruiting techniques that would make the navy blush? And an offer I can't refuse? He's no Godfather, that's for sure. So, like any self-respecting person in Gensokyo, I of course had to give my answer of refusal with good old-fashioned violence.
His first Dark Touhoumon was nothing new to me by now, but his second one was a different sight. It sort of pained me to see it...
I mean, it reminded me of my little Suiseiseki. I guess this was the extent that a cruel trainer can have on their Touhoumon. Maybe that stranger was right in saying that some, perhaps many, people do not deserve the right to raise Touhoumon.
A part of me regretted defeating this Rocket member's Dark Chibi Wriggle, but it had to be done to end this man's reign here on Nugget Bridge.
Right now, the only opportunity I'm interested in is the opportunity to shove you off this bridge. I suggest you back off before my mood turns even more sour.
With the path north now cleared, I was able to see some of the new species of Touhoumon in the area.
Team Rocket may be filled with jerks, but perhaps I'll be able to show these cute little things a proper home.
I just want to say that I actually like the Aki sisters, and Minoriko's among my top 5 favorites. With that said...
A. Minoriko Aki (Grass, Leech Seed tank/annoyer)
B. Shizuha Aki (Grass, special sweeper)
C. Remilia Scarlet (Dark/Flying, physical or mixed sweeper or tank, depending on 3rd form)
D. Patchouli Knowledge (Psychic, slow special sweeper, but has a powerful Final form like Aya's)
E. Flandre Scarlet (Dark/Fire, mixed sweeper)
F. Utsuho Reiuji (Fire/Flying, special sweeper, has Fire/Water Beach form)
G. (None of the Above)
Thanks for the reminder, Rolaran. I totally forgot that Flandre and Utsuho were available near Cerulean. They're very, very rare, as it turns out, so I missed them when I first went through looking for new species. After some time searching, I finally found them.Last edited by Mirrinus; 2010-05-14 at 01:25 AM.

Re: Let's Play Touhoumon - Gotta Graze 'Em All!
Is this version like the old one that one of my friends played in which the only way to get a Sakuya other than at start is to trade an EX-Remilia to an NPC? If that is the case you have to get Remi, if not go for Patchy and pick up Sakuya when you have the chance.
Utsuho is also fairly tempting if only for the bizarre nature of a Fire/Water Touhoumon.

Oh, I'm actually omitting Sakuya because we technically already voted on her, way back at the very start of this Let's Play. Sorry about that.

Re: Let's Play Touhoumon - Gotta Graze 'Em All!
I see, that's a shame. Because i really like Sakuya. Then i'll definitely say Patchy, no need for Remilia in that case. Poor Meiling is going to be lonely though.

At least you'll still be able to see Renko's Sakuya grow throughout the game.

Re: Let's Play Touhoumon - Gotta Graze 'Em All!
That is true and at least it is Marisa and not Reimu you are using. Remi, Flandre and Reimu are, in that order, my least favorite of the more well-known Touhou characters. They just don't interest me in the slightest.

Re: Let's Play Touhoumon - Gotta Graze 'Em All!
This, yes. I mean, it's already canon that she makes only one sound which is also suitable as her name. Add Mukyuun to your team.
Hmmm... I wonder if when you go to see this Zun character you might run in to another noted alcoholic. In which case Giant Loli should also get a spot.

Re: Let's Play Touhoumon - Gotta Graze 'Em All!
Yeah, there will be quite a few times when i'll be sad to give someone up because we cannot keep all the ones i like the most around. Just like some other ones will be lost because others have different preferences.

Re: Let's Play Touhoumon - Gotta Graze 'Em All!
Well, I will admit to sharing the view on Flan, and to a certain dislike of Reimu (though mostly for gameplay reasons. Reimu is always the best shot type in every game, in addition to actual hitbox advantage in the older games, and I'm the type to never, ever use the "unmistakably best" option), but I do like Remi. What's not to love about a loli vampire that likes to play detective games? (okay, apart from the whole egotistical bit, but we have Aya, who has even more puffed-up ego, after all! )
So add one vote to Chibi Remi. Besides, we're a bit low on Physical sweeping anyway.Last edited by Drascin; 2010-05-14 at 03:36 AM.

Re: Let's Play Touhoumon - Gotta Graze 'Em All!
Leaving aside that loli is pretty much always a negative for me, she just hasn't sparked any interest in me or shown any really noteworthy traits in either canon or noncanon portrayals i have seen. She's basically just been uninteresting to me, rather than there being something i actively dislike about her. Also she is stealing Sakuya!

Re: Let's Play Touhoumon - Gotta Graze 'Em All!
You found a male Flandre? What the heck.
Now, for the new Touhoumon:
Patchouli. Why is this even a question?
If you're not going to base her name on "Mukyuu", call her Yue instead.

Re: Let's Play Touhoumon - Gotta Graze 'Em All!
Well, more than "stealing" her, you could say that without Remi you actually wouldn't have maid Sakuya, as without Remi she would neither be a maid nor actually appear in the games, so...
But really, while I'm not all that much into loli myself, in Remi I feel the childishness is an important part of the character, and loli looks are part of that. She may be scheming and smart and a bit of a Magnificent Bitch at times, but she's also a kid with a penchant for getting really bored and for childish puffing. I like characters with a certain character dichotomy, I'll admit .Last edited by Drascin; 2010-05-14 at 06:09 AM.

Re: Let's Play Touhoumon - Gotta Graze 'Em All!
Well, i don't mind Remi existing, i just want her to respect Sakuya and Meiling's feelings.
And i can see why you'd like her, she just doesn't do anything for me.
I do support calling Patchy Mukyue, though. Even if it is a damn silly word.

Re: Let's Play Touhoumon - Gotta Graze 'Em All!
Zun's not a Touhou fan, he created Touhou.
As much as I would enjoy having Patchouli joining the party, it is difficult to create a nickname that does not relate to either Mukyuu or her expy Yue.
Regardless, my vote is for Patchy.

Re: Let's Play Touhoumon - Gotta Graze 'Em All!
Huh.
I completely forgot that Patchy was in there too. I was figuring it would turn into a vote war between the Scarlet sisters. Well, Patchy is one of my favorite characters, just because I enjoy the idea of someone who spent so much time and energy learning magic that they're most often too physically frail to actually use it
Having said that, my vote is actually for Flandre. If you will permit me to trope, a Tykebomb who Doesn't Know Her Own Strength, and doesn't know that Evil Is Not A Toy, is a concept that can be a lot of fun. Also, the Christmas-light wings are pretty much the coolest idea I have seen for nonstandard wings.Patchouli Knowledge avatar courtesy of the skillful Prime32.

Re: Let's Play Touhoumon - Gotta Graze 'Em All!
Doesn't Flandre evolve into the strongest thing in the game? Or is that only in some versions?
Is this catchable?

Re: Let's Play Touhoumon - Gotta Graze 'Em All!
Yes, but a Sun Stone is needed for that form. Sun Stones are on sale in the Sevii Islands, but only after defeating the Elite 4 Round 2 (where they all have level 90+ teams in this game). There's also a single Sun Stone lying around on Five Island, but it's not accessible until after clearing the Elite 4 Round 1.

Re: Let's Play Touhoumon - Gotta Graze 'Em All!
There is, but I don't like the sprite as much as Remi's actually.
And wow, Patchy sure is popular. Guess I could have seen this coming, after how many votes she got when I did Labyrinth of Touhou as well.
Patchy's default EX form is very similar to how she was in LoT: very low HP, DEF, and SPD, but exceptional special attack and special defense. She has a Final form (much like Aya's) that trades away a fair bit of that special attack (still remains above average) for a significant amount of HP and DEF. Also gains Dark as a secondary type. You guys cool with me using the Final form? (To be honest, I've never used it before, nor even seen what it looks like)
Next segment will be up later today, sorry for the delays. I just finished finals, and my college graduation is this coming week.Check out my Let's Plays: Sengoku Gensokyo (Complete!), Touhoumon (Complete!), and Labyrinth of Touhou

Re: Let's Play Touhoumon - Gotta Graze 'Em All!
Yes, and yes. Pictures are not included to avoid further damage to the multiverse, and also because I haven't got a Leaf Stone handy to use on my chibi Flandre. But I have seen Neko Flan, and she is ridiculously cute.
Also, for some reason that description of Neko Remilia immediately made me think of this bit from Red Dwarf. Seems like the sort of thing Remi would do.Patchouli Knowledge avatar courtesy of the skillful Prime32.
