OOI... which forum would I use for a thread about these? Would I use ROM Hacking (which is in the Pokémon category) or Game Development (which is really for full dev)?

Meh.. ~suggestion~

How about a forum called "Non-Pokemon Rom Hacks" under the Game Development forum, as a subforum or something?

You're teacher hacks roms? o.o; That's new. =P

Well, it DOES say RomHacking/Pokemon GB Emulation.. Emulation of Pokemon is a huge factor and that rules that catagory. So its fair to the other games.. and anyone who's making a hack of them to post it in a proper non-Pokemon hack forum y'know.

And anyway, most people would think ... "WTF's a <insert game name here> hack doing in a Pokemon hack forum???"

"Rom-Hacking/Pokémon GB Emulation". (Name could be changed to "Rom-Hacking/Emulation" cause the title is a bit misleading and the description could be re-made.)
"Main Hacking/Emulation discussion".
"Documents/Tutorials".
"Tools Showcase".
"Hacks Showcase".

These forums are general Rom-Hacking forums.

So its fair to the other games.. and anyone who's making a hack of them to post it in a proper non-Pokemon hack forum y'know.
Now to quote the description of the Hacks Showcase:
Step 4: Hack Production. Everyone's welcome, and you may come and find/make a hack to fit your wishes. For Pokémon/non-Pokémon hacks. Hacks are required to be validated before showing.
Therefore there is no need for another forum just for none-Pokémon hacks.
(Which I doubt will be posted in by the amount of non-Pokémon hacks we have at the moment... zero!)

It's not against the rules, in fact it would be welcome, to see some none-Pokémon hacks there sometimes.
The Hacking forums are not restricted to Pokémon hacking only.
(But of course most hacks and topics there are about Pokémon hacking because PC is a Pokémon forum.)

And anyway, most people would think ... "WTF's a <insert game name here> hack doing in a Pokemon hack forum???" That's obviously what you would think...
It's not a Pokémon-only-Hack forum. (As the description clearly states.)

And just to finish:
How about a forum called "Non-Pokemon Rom Hacks" under the Game Development forum, as a subforum or something? You are aware of that Game Development has nothing to do with Rom-Hacking, right?
Game Development = Creating/Programming your own games with RPG-Maker/Sphere/Game-Maker/etc.
Rom-Hacking = Modifying existing console/handheld games by the use of Hex-Editors and Tools.

Well, if it's not strictly Pokémon could it perhaps be moved out of the Pokémon category? 'Cause it's really confusing.

Now that's a positive idea. O_o;
