Favorite ROM to hack?

[shinyabsol1]

I like Fire Red. When I started hacking, I was using Ruby, but I had some problems. So I tried FR, didn't have any issues, and never went back to Ruby.

Black version! It's the easiest rom for me to hack! I modified th trainers stat, some of th quotes they say. I even changed the Battle lines and a few names and quotes of the Subway Trainers. I even modified the movesets and the base stats as well... well, I basically modified most of the aspect in terms of Pokemon themselves (stats, movesets, etc.) and the trainers.

How come nobody uses Sapphire for anything?

From the tiny bit of hacking I've done, Sapphire seems pretty okay. Are there mysterious Ruby-only tools?

[pokedude919]

ruby... (i dont talk much)

I prefer Fire Red. In my opinion it has better looking tiles than the RSE games (not that that matters much if you plan on changing the tiles, but still), it has the most coverage concerning tutorials and tools and the 3rd gen games are a lot more stable compared to older generation games. Looking at the overall picture, Fire Red is just very beginner friendly.

I'm just gonna stick with Gold.
It's the only game that I really enjoy.

Although Emerald precedes to have better features and is more of a challenge, I prefer Fire Red to it simply becuase there is alot more understanding about it.

Lolno. When I first started, I wanted to mod on Sapphire as well because it was my favorite Gen III game, but I soon learned that it just didn't work well. After I changed to Ruby, I realized that it was much, MUCH easier to work with. Since then I've moved to FireRed, for favor reasons, as I like it's original sprites better, and I find more to be done with FireRed.
I've heard Emerald is pretty good, as it has the myriad uselessly cool functions that Nintendo threw into their R/S base, but meh. I still prefer FireRed, because I do. Don't really have a legitimate reason.

It can happen to any game if you dont pay attention. Better read some tutorials, get a fresh ROM and try again.

And how to prevent that problem happen again?

[Gerokunz]

Ruby is my favorite.
Because it's very easy to hack.

Dont write your new content to random places, use ff bytes, take care of what you do ect.

[Michielleus]

I guess FireRed, as it has a lot of hacking possibilities. Also, a lot of good hacks out there are from FireRed.

I agree! I loved to play Silver and Gold, so Fire Red is the next best thing and a newer version. I do not care most of the new Pokemon compared to the originals and 2nd gen. Haven't looked closely at HG/SS, but then again I don't own a DS so I think the I am more comfortable with a GBA game. Also never had Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald so so clue about those games.

I've only hacked Blue, Yellow, and Ruby before but personally I like Yellow the most because people don't like to hack it that much. And hex editing doesn't bother me one bit, in some cases I'd rather edit the ROM than use a disassembly but that's just me. xD Once I find the time, i'll start making a decent hack of Yellow instead of just a inside joke text hack. :V

[SadNumel]

Very hard one.

I have always loved hacking Fire Red, because of its absolutely simple scripts, but then I just love the tile selection in Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire.

I would have to go with the Hoenn region games.

[Pokewiz000]

I like Haking Emerald or FR. In China usually like this. We have Perfect Chinese release of these two ...

[tajaros]

For, me it will be FireRed you can see almost all hacks are hacks from FireRed, but for second I would like Emerald because of the animations...

[atmmachine11]

I prefer Ruby over everything else, it just seems like the easiest to work with.

Pokemon Emerald Version for the GameBoy Advance SP.

[haelcher]

I'm part of the small Gen I hacking crowd. They were the games I grew up with, and I still appreciate the retro feel. I'm perfectly fine with hex editing, although I'm not sure I want to try ASM.

Yellow is my favorite of the three, just because it's that "bonus" game of the Generation (I would vote for Emerald for you Gen III hackers keeping score).

[MoStDoPe]

for me i'd choose fire red i just play this game more than any other so i know what im looking for when i hack it.

[PokemonMasters]

I Choose Ruby. I started with ruby then went to firered, now im back with ruby.even though people say ruby has uglier graphics than firered, if you sort of work with it you can make it have nice graphics. but its not only abut graphics though ~

[JackHack96]

I like hacking Platinum! I say it better: I WOULD LIKE to hack Platinum and so I'm learning how to hack it!
