Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."

Yep. Apparently D&D is very popular among hirsute hobos clad in blue togas in the Pokémon world.
Yukari Yakumo is the boss. At least, she would be if she wasn't sleeping at this very moment.
Yukari has the distinction of being the oldest youkai on record, to the point that no one even knows how old she is. She's also the most powerful, partially due to her age and partially due to her ability. She has the ability to manipulate borders. Normally, she just uses it to create gaps in the boundary of existence, usually for teleportation purposes. It also allows her to make her home inside the magical barrier separating Gensokyo from the real world. However, since the world runs on artificial borders like scientific laws, she can use her ability to warp reality itself. She's probably the only youkai who could actually defeat Reimu outside of a danmaku match.
Unlike most of the powerhouses of Gensokyo, she spends most of her time asleep or concerning herself with idle mischief. When she does act, it's pretty impressive. She was involved in a number of incidents resulting in the creation of Gensokyo, and she has deep ties to the Hakurei family. When she does interfere, she usually works with Reimu (an odd combination, considering Lazuli's view of both characters)
Keine Kamishirasawa, whose last name is hella long, is a were-hakutaku, making her a half-youkai. Essentially, when the moon is full, she grows horns and turns green. Normally, she has the ability to hide history by, well, eating it. In hakutaku form, she can create history. No, I'm not sure exactly what this means. Best I can tell is that when she eats history, something seems to un-exisit, and when she creates it, something seems to exist. Anyways, she identifies more with her human side than her youkai side. She lives in the Human Village and teaches children. Missed homework is punished through headbutts.

And with that, it's once again time for Gator to randomly pop up and point out Pokémon equivalents of mythological creatures that have been made into Touhous.
A hakutaku (or bai ze as they're known in Chinese) is a horned white lion with the hooves of an ox and the face of a human. They are guardians of good luck and medicine and occasionally appear to give advice to virtuous rulers.
In Pokémon, the hakutaku was combined with Cassandra from Greek mythology to create Absol. An odd combination, but one that's given us a pretty popular Pokémon.
Hey bros! I'm going to put in a short update today. Might get a longer one in tomorrow. I would've done a bigger one today but AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA POKEMON BLACK 2.
Before anything else, I would just like to state that Bikers.
indeed. Bikers. They look like dangerous criminals. So why don't we pick a fight with them?
or not.
I'm sorry, I thought you guys were TOUGH DUDES. You know, GANGSTERS. Not, TINY LITTLE BABY BITCH-ASSES.
Oh well.
Yeah, I basically have no idea what to do. We're looking for the Flash HM and don't know where to find it, so we just sort of stumble into Saffron city and hey what's this
TWO Gyms? Well that's just insanity.
And since one is blocked by that dick in the funny hat, let's try the one that for some reason has no doors.
So yeah we're taking on the fighting dojo. Cuz. Y'know. Why not?
Well maybe if you had doors I'd be less inclined to trespass.
So his first Touhou is a Meiling which shouldn't be too much of a
oh.
Oh.
Well.
We are underleveled, aren't we?
Meh.
Cheech actually manages to take the Meiling out despite having been reduced to one hit point at one point by said Meiling's Arm Thrust (Y U ALWAYS HIT 5 TIME???).
His next Touhou is Momiji which I'm pretty sure is Dark/Steel. So what the hell, ROM programmer?
We used Thief to steal her blackbelt and got a couple good hits in with Shock Wave, but Momiji ultimately takes Cheech down with erm...take down.
...right so the bad news is that Derpy fainted. The good news is that Momiji also took itself out. With...take down again. Namely said attack's recoil.
OH COME ON
Surprisingly, Rei actually manages to basically curbstomp Meiling,
but this doesn't change the fact that we lost two Touhou, and are now locked into a fight with another trainer.
This douchebag.
Oh and take a random guess as to what his first Touhou is.
Hoo-ray. Amirite?
Zestpoole gets stomped because I am a derp who does not remember that Ice is weak to Fighting, and then we knock his Meiling out with Ju.
Then he sends out another freaking Meiling.
To say we get our asses handed to us is a major understatement
Only Rei survives the ensuing carnage, and only at half-health (she does manage to level up from the deal, which is nice).
Suffice it to say I don't think we're going to be coming back here for a little while yet.
Anyway, I need ideas, doodz. Something level-appropriate to do, anyway. Either that or y'all need to yield and tell me where to find that Flash HM.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
I've beaten Cynthia in Diamond with a team of a level 60 Torterra and level 50-52 everything else. For reference, Cynthia's team ranges from level 60 to 66.
It took me 4 or 5 tries and made me realize that I am not a good enough Trainer to beat things 10 levels above me. So now I aim for 2-4 levels below the next Gym Leader's Pokémon.
Also, you're getting warmer in looking for the HM for Flash, but you still have a ways to go.
When I played Pokemon Ruby, it was the kung-fu man who got me Flash. I think staying in this gym is a good idea. I believe in this gym, and I believe in our touhoumon's ability to get through it without dying all the time.
...We might want to scrounge around for a Flying or Psychic type, though. Either that, or work on our little poison doll for a bit. Fighting's strong against Ice, Steel, Dark and Normal, which sums up half of our team, so pushing through at this very moment would make things...miserable.
Alright, any grinding should focus on Rei and Bruce. Their types are resistant to fighting, and Rei's Poison Body will come in handy. Use Jump Kick (switch out Silver Powder with Black Belt ASAP) and Quick Attack with Bruce, and Cut and Acid with Rei (Cut's physical, which will maximize her damage output, and Acid'll lower defense)
Out of the others, well...they're really badly suited for fighting-types. Did you leave anyone in the daycare when you took out Ju?
YamameKurodani is the first boss of Subterranean Animism (which means I've finally finished recapping underground characters). She's has the ability to manipulate diseases. Suffice to say that she's not the most popular of youkai. While fanon has her to be a popular, outgoing character (some even depict her as a superstar in the underground), current info on her suggests that she's always infectious and has no deep affection for anyone, especially humans.
Hong Meiling is the inexplicable Chinese gatekeeper for the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Due to the relative lack of background for Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil, her debut game, no one knows where she came from or what she's doing in Gensokyo. She's known for her focus on martial arts in a world dominated by danmaku.
I've been thinking of continuing this LP as a livestream of sorts? I don't know how y'all would feel about that since I don't have a mic and thus could not produce running commentary.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
Depends on when the streams would be, but I might be interested in that.
Maybe you could get a chatlog attached so we can pester you while you play. That would be an excellent idea.
I know, but it's really hard for me to keep that up because of the laborious process of taking screencaps, cropping them, uploading them with imgur, etc.
I like Gator's suggestion about a chatbox but I wouldn't know how to implement that.
OK, so, we're going to be grinding Rei and Bruce for awhile, because that's where we left off.
Then we're gonna attempt to tackle the fighting dojo again.
An update should follow.
also a thing to vote on. VBA has a built-in screen capture mechanism. This takes a lot of the work out of screencapping (letting me make more) but it makes my caps a lot smaller.
So, should I use that or stick to the old method of full-screen and cropping, which is more labor intensive but gives larger pictures?
I'll get to the update tonight hopefully. Unfortunately I just downloaded a new game so don't be afraid to bother me if I don't get to it within the next day or two.
I'd say more but there's really not too too much to say. We found her almost on our first try, Zesty got her down to a quarter health, and we caught her with the great ball.
She's cute but unfortunately her massive lack of levels means she won't be very useful to us.

oh
oh-k. Sounds good to me.
Anyhow, I ran into some new Touhoes, I'm hoping you won't mind reprising your role as the local Touhou encyclopedia?

Ubisoft.
I mean um
sure.
Hi again, mini-update.
So basically this guy is missing an I.
that wasn't a typo.
And we ran into two new Touhoes.
I'll let Yarrun explain those. For the record, Yukari is probably my favorite Touhou character.
So now we've run into a pair of little girls.
what typing could their Touhou POSSIBLY have? I have no brain.
...oh.
was kinda.
was kinda expecting electric types.
Just
just saying.
No, no. The Lilies are fine too, just...just saying I was expecting electric types..is....is all....
no, no, it's...it's fine.
*sigh*
Anyway, we're off to find the Flash HM. Hopefully we can find it, because this LP may well grind to a total halt without it.
I think that's it for today. Hopefully I'll get some more stuff in tomorrow before work, but if not, I have all weekend.
See you then, true believers.
i get so angry sometimes i just punch plankton --Klinotaxis
Oh yeah, they changed it to "rambling gaming dude" for FireRed didn't they?
Probably explains the typo here.

Well I've said before, my only real problem with Reimu is how strong she allegedly is.
And she's kind of a bitch, but that can be funny depending. So that doesn't count.
Yukari has just about the widest range of interpretations of any Touhou character, too. Which is impressive.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa
next update on Wednesday most likely
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
just wanted to announce it

That'd probably be more useful anyways. At least Derpy has some decent anti-fighting moves.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
next update on either Wednesday or Thursday, whichever day I'm not going for my driver's test.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
so hey guess who's back from the dead?
I've been thinking of continuing this LP as a livestream of sorts? I don't know how y'all would feel about that since I don't have a mic and thus could not produce running commentary.

I kind of liked it as a text-and-pictures only sort of thing.
I know, but it's really hard for me to keep that up because of the laborious process of taking screencaps, cropping them, uploading them with imgur, etc.
I like Gator's suggestion about a chatbox but I wouldn't know how to implement that.
I'm downloading livestream.com's ProCaster and it seems to have a built in chat feature, but I don't know how to use it.
I'm doing a test stream with a different game when it finishes downloading, if any of you want to sit in that would be a huge help.
SO now that I've figured out how this works. I am thinking tomorrow (Wednesday) night for our first Tohomon stream?
Anyone have input?
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot

maybe I'll just do a regular update then
I do want to do this.
Hey kids.
let's do this
OK, so, we're going to be grinding Rei and Bruce for awhile, because that's where we left off.
Then we're gonna attempt to tackle the fighting dojo again.

also a thing to vote on. VBA has a built-in screen capture mechanism. This takes a lot of the work out of screencapping (letting me make more) but it makes my caps a lot smaller.
So, should I use that or stick to the old method of full-screen and cropping, which is more labor intensive but gives larger pictures?
also there are wild Chibi Melings nearby that are in the level 16-18 range, so I'm putting up a capture vote for that.
Also I just accidentally erased about ten minutes of grinding. -_-

Not as far as I know.
I can try then, though. Although it doesn't seem to save them where I thought it did anyway, so it may end up being a moot point.

And we should name her Norris. Seeing that Bruce Lee is already taken.
That'll work.
I'll get to the update tonight hopefully. Unfortunately I just downloaded a new game so don't be afraid to bother me if I don't get to it within the next day or two.
actually I think I'll do a short update now.
To keep the love flowing and all that.
we caught our Meiling.
I'd say more but there's really not too too much to say. We found her almost on our first try, Zesty got her down to a quarter health, and we caught her with the great ball.
She's cute but unfortunately her massive lack of levels means she won't be very useful to us.
