--------------------------------------------------------------
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!

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.
