We really appreciate your feedback 😄 We would also like to thank anyone who produced content for the hack online! Hope you had a good time playing Pokemon Stigma, and looking forward to seeing you again with another project!


Story
Our story takes place in the Kanto Region, where you begin your journey as a Pokémon Trainer in Lavender Town. Following the appearance of a hooded man in Pokémon Tower, the whole region is now facing a great threat: a form of mysterious virus that turns Trainers and their Pokémon into mindless ghouls. It is up to you and your trusty friends, Selena and Erik, to find the roots of evil and spoil Team Nihilus' plan. But who is your ally and who is your enemy in this adventure? You will meet the enigmatic scientist Lumos who is trying to find a cure for the virus, Kanto's Clergy and Great Sage Stephano who is working towards his own agenda, powerful Gym Leaders, divine deities who will try to deceive you. The enemy forces are on the move, and the faith of the world rests in your hands.

Hey there, I think you might have forgotten to attach your patch to the post?

Does this hack have the physical/special split?

Can't view the screenshot, but I guess it must be fun.

There are no major changes on the battle system of the 3rd gen, the only difference you may see is that you no longer take poison damage outside battle.

Actually there must have been an issue cause i attached the actual ROM rather than a patch, the topic just got submitted by mods and i couldn't do any edits before that so I will start shortly ^^

I just downloaded stigma hope its gd

Having trainers with perfect IV Pokemon and using Full Restore before you even challenge the first gym leader, then the gym leader using Full Restore on his perfect IV Sentret? Combine that with some Outlaw-wannabe edgy dialogue? I'm not enjoying this hack, and it's too quick to judge because I haven't beaten the first gym leader. Maybe I would have if I chose Magby, there's such a bias against Gible, it feels like.

For a while I was thinking that I'm just a trash player getting losses this early, but with the grievances I said earlier, I don't think so. The least you could do is state that this is probably a difficult game.

Edit: Make it so that you can run anywhere. Not running indoors is lame, but even worse is not being able to run on routes randomly, such as Route 1.

You should give a profanity warning in the thread, or even at the start of the hack. I couldn't make it past the intro, sorry. Too much profanity for my taste. :(

I Think this hack is awesome

1) How to evolve kirlia into gallame?
2) How to evolve budew?

hahaha just hold your horses for a second there I was just gonna upload a new version of the ROM with minor fixes!

edit: new patch uploaded! Have fun!

I'm playing vanilla version and I have found several bugs, will keep you updated.

So, first:
The thing is that you can use Fly from there, I tried flying to Lavender Town and entering the tower again, the game froze.

Second:
Victory Road ladders are bugged, had to use walk through walls cheat to actually progress.

But overall I really like this hack
So if I gonna find some more bugs I will write here.

@Edit.
Just beat the last guy, the game was amazing :D

Another one:
If you go to a house next to PC in Vermillion Town after beating the game, the game will restart.

Questions time:
There is any postgame content?
Was there any possibility to get a Exp. Share?
