Pokémon Pure & Corrupt

Made using Pokémon Essentials v20.1.

--------------------------------------------------------------

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 two Gyms completed (well, four, but continue reading...) and a total of about 2-3 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.

- A brand new form of Pokemon: Glitched Pokemon. They come with stat changes, moveset changes, 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.

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.

Overworld Encounters in some areas, sometimes aggressive like in Legends: Arceus!

Coming soon. I do have a demo finished but I'm not sure I am comfortable sharing it as I'm currently heavily reworking a lot of the maps.

Cool idea do can glitches pokemon still Evolve?

pizzataco890 · Jan 23, 2024

Cool I keep an eye out for the demo

ShadowEnderBorn · Feb 2, 2024

This Game seems interesting. I always liked the glitches in pokemon cuz they give off some glitches with advantages and some that will break a game completely. That being Said, I like where you are going with this fan game and I hope that it: first, gets completed unlike other fan games and second, isn't restricted to only be playable on pc because I really don't like play pokemon fan games on pc and would rather play it on mobile using Joiplay. And third, have fun making this game so the same joy you will have to be shared to the public. You are making something great and I hope you will succeed in the future. Once you complete the game, I will enjoy it as well for the millions of people who will play it and I can't wait to see where this game goes

simocyon · Feb 3, 2024

very intriguing concept! definitely checking this out; looking forward to the future of this fangame. :]

katrina48 · Feb 6, 2024

where do i go after geting the 2nd badge. i havn't got rock smash yet thanks enjoying game

Masono · Mar 8, 2024

Hey im on corrupted route finished first gym and im at the island. I cant use cut and i cant use rock smash both telling me i need a gym badge. Also if i go into the one building the starting cutscene plays and im teleported back into my room... im on version 0.3.4a

I thought I fixed the badge requirement bug but clearly not, that sucks. My bad.

As for the warp... what? I'm really confused why that's happening when I set a self-switch for that cutscene event to disable itself once its seen at the beginning of the game. It shouldn't trigger again when entering the building.

I'll fix both of these bugs but I'm knee-deep in developing the next demo so I'm not sure if I can push out fixes until then.

Thank you for your bug reports.

Ah it happens ill prolly try a pure run in the meantime. If youd need a vid of the cutscene glitch let me know if you cant replicate on your end. Also a littel funny glitch: in the first city i didnt follow the person after interacting with the sign on the pokecenter then left the city and came back and they were back at the center but "entered" a building after interacting with XD it was confusig but i figured out where to go.

Masono · Mar 10, 2024

kingdomharms said:
Mmm, yeah that's just a visual bug thankfully but it's caused by Events "resetting" to their default location when a map is reloaded and I always forget to put a switch preventing that. It's kind of hard to deal with especially if I use "Set Event Location" for stuff.

Ah fair but that one was more funny than hindering anyway. But cant wait to play more because im hooked and honestly kinda excited to see more past the point i got before the bugs said no XD

ashiapro22 · Jun 22, 2024

how many gyms are in the game now?

4othgoth · Dec 27, 2024

I love your game so far but there's a bug where when you talk to or defeat a trainer, they will stay still and don't move. I'm stuck in a cave because a trainer won't move from the only exit.
