Game Overview

Pokemon: Touhou Merry's Version is a 2004 Game Boy Advance fan game developed by Merry, blending the monster catching of Pokemon with the world and characters of Touhou Project. It was released during a period when fan creators were actively reimagining established series on aging hardware, and it stands as a curious, unofficial crossover from that era.

You control a trainer exploring a region inspired by Gensokyo, capturing and battling creatures modeled after Touhou characters. Your main goal is to collect eight gym badges and challenge the Elite Four, but the journey is punctuated by encounters with familiar faces like Reimu and Marisa, who often take the place of traditional villainous teams. Signature mechanics include dodging bullet hell patterns during wild encounters and trainer battles, which replaces the standard turn based evasion system. The game also features screen by screen exploration through dungeons that require specific monster abilities to progress. The difficulty is noticeably higher than official Pokemon titles, largely due to the precision needed in the bullet hell segments. It feels like a challenging, lovingly crafted tribute that demands your full attention.
