Survey: Which ROM Base do you prefer?

Well I was just wondering what your favorite ROM Base. I think I prefer FireRed and Emerald.

I prefer FR/LG simply because the graphics are much cleaner than R/S/E's I'm more of a mapper, and i find making R/S/E's tiles (especially the large trees) look right.

Well at the start i asked myself this too.
but now i think they all are kinda the same for FR/LG(or just FR) are made mroe tools and almost everyone is reffering to FR.
ruby otherwise is...dont know really long time not hacked...it have badder graphics bt gives more possibilitys and emerlad as i looked recently is i guess the best rom it have more pallets for OW;s which arent even used and the secondary tileset are bigger than FR's.
well the best is messing with some and deciding which u think is better:)

Ill go with Fr/Lg and R/S

Fr/Lg is probably the best in my opinion.
mainly for the clean look and feel.

R/S has a lot of things Fr/Lg doesn't though. It may not be as
clean looking, and may be a little buggy at times, but its all right.

I prefer FR/LG for one reason. It's more generally hacked and thus supported more often in in depth hacks and tutorials. I personally find it harder and more time consuming to find offsets and whatnot for RSE than for FRLG.

But I do think that RSE is a much better ROM base with more possibilities. The only downside is the graphics, but seeing as you can replace those easily I think it is the better ROM base.

But I still stick with FR because there's more to work with. JPAN's engine, ect. And I've grown comfortable with it.

I agree with Lyzo, most tools, research and tutorials are for FR, so it's alot easier to be using FR, unless you already know everything :P

I also think it has more possibilities, since as I said, it's more 'populair', so most of the research and new tools are for FR.

I dunno why, but Ruby's my main love for using to hack. Call me crazy, but something just draws me to it, and I just can't explain it.

To me, it feels like you can do much more on a Sapphire/Emerald/Ruby rom than FR or LG... but FR and LG tiles looks much better and are easier to work with!

But I'll go with RSE, DP and HGSS :)

Ruby/Emerald have far more features. Berries, day/night system, Dive, Pokecontests, Pokenav, and Battletower in Emerald. These features are great and most are hard to replicate in FireRed.

Firered has been more extensively hacked and thus is much easier to get support for, not to mention Jpans Firered engine, which adds alot of hacking potential. However it lacks the aforementioned features, if you dont need them though then Firered is better

Also, tiles dont matter much, since those are ridiculously easy to change out.
The DS and GB games take pretty leet skills to hack, imo, making them less attractive

I like hacking FR/LG better. It's easier for me to hack it then R/S/E, and the graphics looks more neater in my opinion.

I mostly use firered, only because i know that version so well.

Well... let me see...
My favorites are : Emerald, Yellow, Crystal and Heart Gold.

i prefer ruby/sapphire and the older versions
i dont like fire red/leaf green i find ther really annoying for some reason
i wish there was more hacks done with ruby/sapphire
and does any 1 know where i can post a hack description and ask people for help cus i cant hack cus i am on mac
pm me :)

I prefer Fire Red/Leaf Green Roms.
Since I've played R/Y/FR and LG in the past, I'm used to the linear progression around the gen 1 style games.
Plus from what I've found, there are a few more tools to hack them with than R/S/E.

Ruby. Although FireRed may have better tiles, Ruby has, in many ways, more possibilities with graphics. Well, ignoring the whole thing with .raws only being editable by hex, that slows things down a little. Ruby has an editable Professor background (which I messed up, so now I have to find where it was repointed and edit it again, ugh), the clock, a bigger second tileset (although it does have a smaller main tileset, but for someone like me, that really doesn't change anything). Lots more stuff too.

Not only that, but with FireRed, I have really bad experiences with game-breaking glitches that caused me to quit two hacks (although one may or may not be being remade and one is going to be a game). Emerald...I can't ASM hack or program very well. So I'd have to use the glitchy tools, incredibly boring hex, or make a hack with a ton of glitches.

So yeah, Ruby all the way.

Well, I prefer Fr/Lg because of the graphics and 'cause they can be easily edited. And what can I say about Emerald? I say that is quite difficult to edit this last one, but not impossible (see Pokémon Crono by Steven).

Greetings!

I have played ruby like a million times,so definitely ruby.
