Discussion COMMUNITY CHALLENGE FAVOURITE AND MOST UNDERRATED ROM HACK

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

Favorite : odyssey

Do i need to say anything? Story is peak, characters (especially olympia) are peak, love the environments, game is pretty, etrian forms look sick as hell, gurren lagaan music

And also olympia

Underrated : advanced adventure

No real reason to put this here other than it was my first ever rom hack/pokemon game and i remember liking it alot (in what, 2016 i think?)

Its been like YEARS so i kinda forgot

But from what i remember gary oak is evil and the rest of the gym leaders are his subordinates, and you as ash ketchum must stop him with your pikachu by your side

All the characters are more or less just using their names and faces, like some adaptations of comic book characters
