Which one is the best Touhoumon? I'd love one with a new map/story

This?
>>14739994
Yes, this one's the best. It's also a standalone game and not a simple hack, with new types and mechanics

There's also a new version/expansion, including the LoLK characters and some other new stuff. Not sure if there's an English patch yet, though.
>>14741001
Not yet. They are working on it, though.

It has too many questionable design choices to be considered the best. Such as not being able to get a map at the beginning of the game and instead it can only be accessed through the Gap, no Double Battles, trainers (I can understand if this just applied to wild puppets) just don't give you money and instead you have to take the collectable things they gave you to a peddler if you want money, no rebattling trainers or characters and more.
From a gameplay balance perspective, it's pretty okay (I still find the 1.8 romhacks like Emerald better), but from a design standpoint, it's pretty bad.

Still say the biggest problem is the lack of direction, though apparently the new patch does something to address that. Glad I wasn't the only one.

It more than makes up for those minor faults with visible IVs, being able to choose your EVs, no more HMs, infinite uses of TMs, more intuitive move learning mechanics, easier and better breeding mechanics, way more balance in both puppets and types, and a story that isn't cringeworthy.
Easily the best Puppet game, even with the flaws.

I have to agree with >>14743021, especially since the flaws you mentioned aren't even that bad. The lack of a map is a bit annoying, but there's really no need for one at the start either; double battles are a neat feature but don't really add anything beyond some novelty; you can at least re-battle characters post-game.
Admittedly, there's absolutely no reason you couldn't just win money instead of jumping through hoops to sell trinkets, and that's pretty annoying,

Except they're the definitive battle format for Pokemon. A pokemon clone without them is pretty ass. Singles are the most boring shit.

anyone who takes pokemon this seriously is a fucking loser
sorry to break the news to you this way

Not quite mate.
Don't listen to these idiots, Touhoumon Emerald (I believe it has been renamed Touhoumon Purple) is the best Touhoumon. Granted, it is still a hack, but its ``depth'' (if you can call Pokemon deep in the first place) by far exceeds the game mentioned by >>14739982. Unless you grind to hell, you actually have to think during boss fights, which are interesting and varied. I highly recommend it (the author is an asshat, though, so don't get too close to his social media links).

If I'm not mistaken, Purple is an adaptation of the original Touhoumon Emerald. I played it last year and it's very very good.

If we're talking about the same guy, he's actually pretty cool so I don't know what you did to annoy him.

Emerald/Purple's difficulty is great, but the Touhous are so balanced that nobody really stands out, which I'd definitely call a problem. There's a big lack of interesting ability/type/moveset/stats combinations.

Doubles are fucking trash and always have been, just because worlds uses it doesnt mean its the definitive way to play especially because there are typically very few doubles in the actual games themselves
