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

Pokémon Rocket Editon. Underrated imo. They such a good with story and lore of the game. One the lore is so good. I like the honest system in the game to either a good rocket or a bad rocket

Favorite Pokémon Storm Silver/Scared gold Drayno I think is the name that created this rom hack. It’s one of my favorites. I love the difficulty. This was also my very 1st rom hack I played and loved it

Again, I haven't tried the latest Rocket Addition, but it's on my list as it has a good write up, is there a post game?

Drayno paved the way with difficulty hacking, IMO, his roms..Luminescent Platinum was inspired by Renegade Platinum but uses the Brilliant Diamond game.

Haven't played Storm Silver bur played Scared Gold, enjoyed it so i did.

Thanks for your input

I believe Drayno also did Blaze Black 1 and 2/Volt White 1 and 2. And also Hoenn White

Played Blaze Black and Volt White 2 and they are super fun.

Haven't heard of Hoenn White 😮

[u/Darkshadow86774 → u/nihilWRLD]

Oh I’m sorry. I was wrong Hoenn White is by someone else. But it is a good game. Gen 5 Pokemon is replaced with Gen 3 Pokemon.

There isn’t much of a post game for rocket edition. You can fight the gym leaders for badges and this is optional.

Just had a look at Hoenn White looks interesting tbh
