Background:
Pokemon Pure & Corrupt was born out of my desire to create a Pokemon ROM hack/fangame since I was a child. It is being developed completely by myself using Pokemon Essentials and all the various incredible resources created by the community for public use. Currently I have three Gyms completed (well, five, but continue reading...) and a total of about 3 hours of gameplay.
Plot Synopsis:
Set two weeks after a virus infected the Kyrn Region's Pokemon Storage System, the region grapples with their new reality as they prepare to host the year's Pokemon World Tournament. The "MissingNo. Virus", as it has come to be called, was successful in corrupting the data of all Pokemon stored in the PC at the time causing them to "fuse" with MissingNo.
You are set to begin your Pokemon journey on your 14th birthday during this time of mass panic and confusion throughout your region. Shortly after leaving your house, you are presented a choice. Will you take the route of a standard Pokemon Trainer, or will you be tempted by the alluring power of Glitched Pokemon to reach your ultimate goal? Which path will you choose, I wonder...
The Path is Yours to Climb...
Inspired by Fire Emblem: Fates, I've loved the idea of having two different paths to play through in a Pokemon game. Near the beginning of the game you are given a choice of path to take. the "Pure" Path or the "Corrupt" Path.
The Pure Path is more of your standard Pokemon journey. Defeat Gyms, take down the evil team, etc.
The Corrupt Path, however, is intended to deviate from the standard Pokemon format. Not drastically, but it will be more difficult (both literally and lore-wise.)
Your ultimate goal is still to defeat Gyms and become the Champion, but the methods in which you get to that point are different. Due to the MissingNo. Virus the region has closed off many of its doors to anyone who uses Glitched Pokemon. Pokemon Centers cannot heal you, Gyms will reject your challenges, and more. Who will you turn to in order to achieve your goal as the best Trainer in the Kyrn Region?!
Features & Gameplay Mechanics:
- Mechanics up to Gen 8 (currently) but with all Gen 9 Pokemon, moves, abilities, etc. before any DLC.
- Two paths each with a storyline that connects with the other. You must play both paths to learn all the information.
- A huge region to explore, essentially split in half for each main story but free-roam will be allowed in the post-game!
- Over 450 Pokemon to find throughout the large Kyrn Region. Current demo has 150+ available.
- A brand new form of Pokemon: Glitched Pokemon. They come with moveset changes and sometimes even new typings and abilities.
- A new, fitting typing for all Glitched forms: Bird! But that's not all... each of the 18 types in the game has its own Bird variant!
- The Bird-typing introduces the type-effectiveness chart from Inverse Battles when battling Pokemon of the opposite form as you (i.e. Glitched vs non-Glitched Pokemon.) The type chart is vanilla otherwise.
- 16 unique Gyms to battle across the region.
- NEW: Side Quests have been added! There aren't many for now, but they're there!
- A very long ways away but a Battle Frontier and the Pokemon World Tournament are both planned for the post-game!
- Level Caps on the Corrupt Path, adding to the difficulty.
- Speedup plugin.
- Multiple save files plugin; you don't have to lose your progress on one path to play the other!
- Overworld Encounters in some areas, sometimes aggressive like in Legends: Arceus!

Known Bugs/Issues:
- Shiny Forms of Glitched Pokémon have not been created yet.
- Custom music volumes are not normalized at the moment; some may be too loud or too quiet.
- Some custom music does not loop properly at the moment.
- Some door animations may look weird/not work properly.
- Visual bug entering Heratta House door.
- Some NPCs might slide instead of walk, I need to edit their overworlds.
- Weird graphical bug when exiting caves.
- Minor stutter lag when nearing map borders. I have no idea what's causing this; I previously had no lag at all until I edited down my tilesets (they were getting too big) to, ironically, prevent lag in the future.
- Attempting to evaluate your Pokedex causes a crash.
- Sideways stairs act pretty weird now; this is due to the script I was using on v20.1 no longer working and the alternative method being suboptimal.
- Claw Game might act slow/buggy. I haven't fully checked how it works on v21.1 yet.
