Always enjoy the Ruby Destiny games. Playing through Light Platinum at the moment, seems very cool though.

For me, Pokemon Light Platinum is the best until now, but it looks like some even more sweet hacks will come out eventually.

Had a read through most of the thread for what hacks to try.
I'm looking for a new hack to play, what I'm looking for:
A completed hack
A good range of enemy pokemon there's hundreds of pokemon but alot of games you only seem to ever come up against the same pokemon over and over,
Preferably a new map or maps, but not essential.
plenty of buy able TMs and stones.
A good range of pokemon early on to catch.
A decent length.
Unrestrictive HMs don't want to be bogged down with HMs
Only a small amount of legendary pokemon, not a fan of these in game generally.

Have played light platinum which was my first one several months ago got to orange islands as far as it'd let me go.
In general enjoyed it but some parts felt a little to stretched at times and from the 2nd half on seemed to only come up against the same 10 or so pokemon that AI trainers used so got a tad boring.

Currently playing light platinum, and again seem to always face the same AI pokemon, especially against team steam. Like the game as a whole but having just beat the first elite 4, I've got a little bored of it.
I won't go into detail as I can only imagine how much hard work goes into these games so don't want to bash on people who are giving something for free.

Sorry for the ramble hope someone can recommend a hack to suit what I'm after.

I might start playing that Ruby Destiny series. Perhaps you should add a poll to break down the statistics and see what the main favorites are?

I have a few favourites.
Pokemon Glazed
Pokemon Ruby Destiny: Life of Guardians
Pokemon Dark Rising
Pokemon Super Rising Thunder (Even though it's an alpha that was never finished, the concept and morbidness of the game was amazing and I loved it. Shame it won't ever be finished though :( )

Well, Light Platinum was very enjoyable but offered not difficulty. Especially if you started with Charmander.

The Ruby Destiny series by DJG is awesome. They offer a good blend of everything. Some challenging things and just some good story lines.

Pokemon Mirage of Tales. The link is in my signature. I love this hack. It isn't complete but with all of the different outcomes it is going to probably be one of the best hacks ever. There is a playable version though that runs through a little over half of the game.

Aesthode's hacks. They are just manga remakes. He has a different hack for every main character and they are all very enjoyable. I do recommend reading the manga first though.

Ash Gray. I say the best anime remake there is so far. It is very detailed and offers a good amount of difficulty.

Pokemon Dark Rising series. The first two are released and have and amazing story line! They are extremely difficult though

Well, all of my opinions!

It would have to be hands down ash gray for me. It follows the anime closely but just with Brock and Misty only making brief cameos and has a bit of a harder difficulty for example when i was at my first gym ready to beat Brock i got my ass handed to me on a platter and looked up how to beat him and learned i needed to farm some wild Pokemon till my Pikachu was LVL 18 and can be confusing without looking at walkthroughs.
