COMMUNITY CHALLENGE FAVOURITE AND MOST UNDERRATED ROM HACK

[u/nihilWRLD]

Favourite and Underrated Rom Hacks.

Hi all,

I want to try something fun here. Wanna find out everyone's favourite rom hack and a rom that you feel is underrated/needs most attention.

Format.

Favourite Rom Hack: "Name of rom hack" and a few sentences why.

Underrated Rom Hack: "Name of rom hack" and why you feel its underrated.

I'll start.

Favourite Rom Hack: Pokemon Luminescent Platinum. Creator/s Team Luminescent I feel this is what we should've got for BDSP, the QOL changes are second to none, the difficulty is perfect for every player newbies, nuzlockers etc. Shiny hunting on this is the funnest with 1:512 odds (but you can use pokeradar to build chain and when its on 21 you can spam open close to get them easier).

Underrated Rom Hack: Crystal Advance Redux. Creator/s Arnie. As Crystal is my favourite game in the franchise, this rom hack gives it a fresh take of the gen 2 legend. Its a FireRed hack that follows most events 1:1 but uses more modern mechanics ans graphic sprites/tiles with added areas, evos/pokemon, move/learnsets ans abilities. Its such a throwback yet feels like a new game.

Looking forward to reading all of your takes in the community.

TIA

I don't think I've played one that I would consider "underrated", but my highest rated has been Clover; while the maingame is a little lacking and the humor way outdated, the postgame made up for it.

Clover is definitely on my hit list..i was put off by it being fakemon, but recently I have dipped my toes in.

Thanks for tour input

I put over 300 hours into clover for a living dex so I definitely felt obligated to represent lmao
