About

Touhou Puppet Dance Performance is a spiritual successor to the Pokémon FireRed hack Touhou Puppet Play, involving training and collecting puppets of various Touhou characters.

Storyline

Gensou Ningyou Enbuu has the player traveling around the realm of Gensoukyou, the main setting of the Touhou Project series, on a two-fold quest: Trying to find a way to return home, and solving the latest incident that’s rocking the realm to its depths - where did these newfound Puppets come from? These Puppets are based off prominent characters in Gensoukyou’s modern history, specifically every named character from Touhou 01: Highly Responsive to Prayers all the way up to Touhou 14: Double Dealing Character. All of them are available to capture, train, and do battle with against others while you make your way through Gensoukyou. Along the way, the protagonist runs across an organization called the Puppet Liberation Front. Their goals are to liberate Puppets from their trainers, and let them live unoppressed by humans and youkai alike. You'll be running to and from various locales of Gensoukyou; from the Hakurei Shrine, to the expansive Forest of Magic, to climbing the towering peaks of Youkai Mountain, as well as the depths of the Ancient Capital, and far beyond that! Several of the actual prominent characters have their own team of Puppets, and can even be engaged in battle if you meet them. For the Touhou and Pokemon fan, there's plenty here to keep you hooked!
