    [PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Pure & Corrupt - v0.6.3 RELEASE! (10 Badges, 19 Side Quests)


    Made with RPG Maker XP & Pokémon Essentials v21.1.

    --------------------------------------------------------------    ​


    Background:
    Pokémon Pure & Corrupt was born out of my desire to create a Pokémon ROM hack/fangame since I was a child. It is being developed completely by myself using Pokémon Essentials and all the various incredible resources created by the community for public use. Currently, I have up to five badges completed on each path, making a grand total of 10 badges to collect. Estimated gameplay time is about 10-12 hours.


    Plot Synopsis:
    Set two weeks after a virus infected the Kyrn Region's Pokémon Storage System, the region grapples with their new reality as they prepare to host the year's Pokémon World Tournament. The "MissingNo. Virus", as it has come to be called, was successful in corrupting the data of all Pokémon stored in the PC at the time causing them to "fuse" with MissingNo.

    You are set to begin your Pokémon 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 Pokémon Trainer, or will you be tempted by the alluring power of Glitched Pokémon 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 Pokémon 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 Pokémon journey. Defeat Gyms, take down the evil team, etc.

    The Corrupt Path, however, is intended to deviate from the standard Pokémon 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 Pokémon. Pokémon 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 Pokémon, moves, abilities, etc.​
    • 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 Pokémon to find throughout the large Kyrn Region. Current demo has around 260 available.​
    • A brand new form of Pokémon: Glitched Pokémon. 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 Pokémon of the opposite form as you (i.e. Glitched vs non-Glitched Pokémon.) The type chart is vanilla otherwise.​
    • 16 unique Gyms to battle across the region. Not all are available in current demo.​
    • 19 Side Quests and counting!
    • A very long ways away but a Battle Frontier and the Pokémon World Tournament are both planned for the post-game!
    • Level Caps on the Corrupt Path, adding to the difficulty.​
    • See a Pokémon's IVs and EVs right on the summary screen!​
    • Speedup button: Q by default.​
    • Multiple save files plugin; you don't have to lose your progress on one path to play the other!​
    • PokéUpdater support, allowing players to update their games right from the main menu!
    • Overworld Encounters in some areas, sometimes aggressive like in Legends: Arceus!​

    Current Version: v0.6.3b
    Link
    No PokeUpdater version
    The no updater version is intended for:
    - Those who cannot launch the game due to a PokeUpdater-related error
    - JoiPlay users
    - Those who wish to play without requiring an internet connection.

    Demo goes up to Gym #5 (Thyone City) on the Pure Path and Badge #5 (Eirene Town) on the Corrupt Path. There are three secret battles to find.

    Known Bugs/Issues:
    • 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.
      Weird graphical bug when exiting caves.​
      Minor stutter lag when nearing map borders. This is an RPG Maker XP issue related to tileset loading.​
      ​
    • Claw Game might act slow/buggy. I haven't fully checked how it works on v21.1 yet.
    • Graphical bug after going up/down side stairs. Basically displaces the player character on the Y Axis until you enter a new map, should be purely graphical but stuff like Trainer encounters look weird.
    • Bicycles act strangely going up and down side stairs.
    • FLY DOES NOT WORK. I haven't figured out why. Top priority to fix.

    Started playing with the Corrupt route, really enjoying it so far. The glitched Pokemon colour schemes are very nice. Was curious if you happened to have any documentation for the Pokemon available on each route and tried to join your Discord, but the invite is expired - just giving you a heads up that you might need to change it.

    I see I'm the first comment here, but I hope other people have been playing it too. Even as a demo, this is too interesting to not have people's attention!

    My bad on the invite link. I thought I made a non-expiring one.

    New invite:

    I don't have any public documentation for the game available at the moment but I have several docs I use for myself that I can easily put out.

    I did have people playing it back on Relic Castle and some on Reddit.
     
    Minor update.

    Below is a doc for showing wild Pokemon locations. Will be updated with each release.

    docs.google.com docs.google.com

    Additionally I've been made aware of a couple bugs. The tall grass encounters in Tauri Park might not spawn and Thalissa Swamp's encounter rates don't correctly add up to 100%. Please be aware of these when playing.
     
    Small Game Update!

    Version 0.4.1b has been released. Download here.

    Changelog:
    - Changed Heratta Grunt Alex's dialogue to give an explaination of the Bird-type.
    - Edited Mercurial Town slightly.
    - Downsized Nereid Crossing due to the railway changes made in v0.4.1.
    - Added "secret" battle in Despina Port.
    - Added an NPC in Tauri Park that gives you an EXP. Share.

    - Bugfix: Fixed some of Adriana's dialogue not having name boxes.
    - Bugfix: Fixed the encounter rates in Callisto Ruins not adding up to 100%. Trapinch is now 10% more common.
    - Bugfix: Fixed the Tall Grass encounters in Tauri Park not spawning.

    A bigger content update is coming soon, hopefully this month. Right now I'm working on a bit of QoL stuff behind the scenes that is slowing development of new content but I believe it's necessary or else I'll never get around to it.

    Just dropping this here because I don't think we're meant to get up here lol. I got there by walking into the wall next to the doors. You can actually walk all the way around the door and exit on either side. EDIT: This is in Hyades City. Actually, almost everything in that Pokémon Center is missing collision boundaries or whatever it's called. You can walk all the way through the PC, all of the tables and chairs on the right, both plants, and the bottom half of the table next to the couch. Also, the half of the player sprite's head disappears into the mart counter in the upper right corner.

    Also, there's some weird alignment between enemy trainers and the player character on the various routes so you might want to double-check sprite placement. If you need one, I can try to find a trainer in one of the areas I've been in already and grab a screenshot.

    Fixed the Hyades City stuff.

    As for the other thing: it's a known bug related to side stairs using the plugin for it on v21. There's no fix for it as far as I know. The plugin/script worked flawlessly on v20.1, but no one has correctly ported it to v21.1. The alternative is to use the Essentials Wiki method of implementing side stairs which is bad for its own reasons. Until someone fixes the script, this bug will remain. Sorry.

    Great! Though admittedly it was fun acting like a ghost while walking through the furniture lol

    That sounds really frustrating! It isn't a big issue in my eyes, but I wanted to mention it just in case it wasn't already known. Hopefully someone fixes/correctly ports the plugin soon so you don't have to worry about it.

    Also, unrelated to either of these things:

    So that hint is encouraging you to check your Pokedex. The picture frame on the wall explicitly mentions Cranidos, which means you've now seen Cranidos.

    It's not super intuitive, I get that. My thought process behind it was: how would you find its dex number without checking the dex?

    Just FYI though, the Dex number is actually incorrect unless you update to v0.6.3, which is totally my bad.
