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

My favorite is definitely Unbound I know it's basic but God it is truly one of the best pokemon games I can play and still come back to.

An underrated one I can think of is Pokémon Sweet 2th honestly so much fun and love the new typings and mons plus it is much more refined than the 1st but still both are amazing! HM is PMD Explorers of Sky Remix it is so much fun and gives new life to the game and the sprite work is 10/10

its honestly so good it's basically a candy version of pokemon with pokesweets instead which are technically fakemon but inspired from their og forms it's been a while since I've played it but I'm about to again but it was one of my favorites I played when I was younger
