Ruby hack: [Hack of the Year: 2006] Votings

[Pazuzu]

Well, well, it's that time of the year again. What time you ask? The time where we choose the Hack of the Year. Many of you hackers know, that good hacks take time, dedication, and effort. These hacks have shown just that. They have stood out from the others and impressed many of us, here in the forums. So we are here to give these hacks the acomandation they deserve.​

Here we have chosen the best hacks. We chose them, not just because of their popularity, but also because these hacks have shown the effort and dedication that was put into them. These hacks have stood out from the generic Pokémon hacks, and have proven to be the cream of crop around the emulation forums.
The decision wasn't easy, but in the end, we have come up with 6 great hacks, which surely all deserve a place in the Hack Hall of Fame.
Unfortunately, there can only be one winner, which will be declared the official Hack of the Year 2006.

We will now present you the 6 hacks, which have been chosen for this year's Hack of the Year votings.
You have time to vote for your favorite hack until December 1st 2006, when the votings will officially be closed and the votes counted.
The winner will be announced shortly after, and officially inducted into the Hack Hall of Fame.

Good luck to all of you.

I have one question: why was this posted now? It's only June.

 

[Pazuzu]

Because June is exactly the half of the year.
We decided that this would be a good time, because it allowed Hacks to be still posted but also still leaves the users enough time to decide and vote for their favorite Hacks. (A Half year.)

 

[Martin Yiu]

Great, it's here! I vote for Liquid Ocean!

 

[Christos]

Six months is really a long time to decide,
I vote for Liquid Ocean!
BTW the link to A return to Johto takes you to Dark Future...

 

[Pazuzu]

Okay, thanks for notifying. The link has been fixed.

 

[DrCoolSanta]

Umm, Pokemon Saffron, it takes to 404 not found!
I vote for LO

 

[Cartmic]

Hey what about Citymon: Rieo?

 

[feraligatr1.0]

quartz is my vote, I <3 that game! w00t!

 

[mxkpkmnextu??]

Hail
All hacks are fabulous but I'll vote for a the return to johto...
It has amazing scripting and that's worthy my vote...

Stay Sick\m/

 

[Innocence]

I know that almost no-one likes gold hacks, but i'm choosing pokemon saffron, it has some superb scripting, although i havn't seen it around for quite a while.

 

[DININI]

Liquid Ocean For Ever! --message to short--

 

[DarkGreg]

I dunno which hack to vote for cause my brother has finished Saffron but doesn't wanna show it to anybody (And he left PC too) Anyway I think I'll vote for Saffron

 

[Drummershuff]

I think that I'll put my vote on Pokémon Liquid Ocean. It seems like it's going to be a good hack when it's finished.

[Votes]

 

[Caterpie Master]

I vote for Liquid Ocean.
The maps are great, and it's a nice story..
And you can catch caterpies in the new beta!!
Ideal for me..

 

[waregreymon]

what new beta. I played pokemon liquid and it gots a lot of glitches. And thats why i didnt vote for that game. I voted for pokemon quartz because it is a non glitch full, completed pokemon game.

 

[wakachamo]

I vote for Pokémon rijonAdventures. =D

 

[Har D Har]

Go Secrets and Rumors! It is the coolest hack EVER!

 

[Pazuzu]

Hey what about Citymon: Rieo?

To quote your from your Citymon thread:

Currently iv changed part of the text of the proff at the beginning, changred 2 tilesets, 1 town, 1 route, the main character graphics, Titlescreen.

Do you really expect to be nominated with only those things done?
Sorry homes, but that is not enough to qualify for a Hack of the Year voting.
Once you have worked it out more, you might be considered for a nomination.

Also, thanks for notifying about the broken links.
They have been fixed now.
