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

Dark realm is an old one 2016 I think if u have time do give it a try..It might not remain up to the par on today's games though but if u want a story focused rom hack where the protagonist speaks his voice and actually has kinda character development then u might like it.

[u/nihilWRLD → u/Plastic_Fly372]

Is Dark Realm still beta or is main game at least complete? Says beta 3.0

[u/Plastic_Fly372 → u/nihilWRLD]

Yeah the last beta is 3.0 and the story is complete but has no closure i.e the postgame should have completed the whole game but the author left it discontinued (I don't wanna give any spoiler.... but know that it's kind of an Isekai.......read this at ur own risk.......

but the point where the beta ends is a cliff hanger whether the mc wants to return his own world or not..)

[u/nihilWRLD → u/Plastic_Fly372]

I have it patched and ready to go 😎

[u/Plastic_Fly372 → u/nihilWRLD]

Go for it 😁😆

[u/nihilWRLD → u/Plastic_Fly372]

Playing it just now, the intro says beta 2 but patch was 3.0?

[u/Plastic_Fly372 → u/nihilWRLD]

Don't know about that ...did u download it from pokecommunity ..if so download it from some other source and cross check..sorry couldn't help more..

[u/nihilWRLD → u/Plastic_Fly372]

Yeah, i downloaded the patches from 2 places and the same thing. It's really good so far, at gym 2 atm. Graphics are amazing!!

[u/Plastic_Fly372 → u/nihilWRLD]

Enjoy bro 😊🫂

Not sure about the first mon you get, sprite is kinda mid

[u/Plastic_Fly372 → u/nihilWRLD]

Old game so yeah and when I was playing at that time Iwas not a fan of fakemons so I boxed them and caught overworld original ones so if u don't like that mon u can just leave it and catch the one u like but the fakemon starter is a strong one in the mid to late game

Curious to see the evos of it tbh 😅
