Heeey Cazza, welcome to PokeCommunity! Pleasure to meet you!
So you're a returning fan? How long's been since you last played Pokemon? Hacks are one of the things that really help keep a lot of fans interested in the franchise and it was the same way for me many years back. Back before the release of Diamond & Pearl I'd dig through the ROM hacks here on PC and try them out, which was endlessly fun. Shiny Gold, Brown, and Prism were my life back then, hehe. Even wanted to make my own hack at one point but I never did try in the end. :( Have you any plans to make your own game in the future? You can find a lot of resources to create a game over at the Emulation board which I'm sure you've checked out already, as Toshiro said.
Other than that, enjoy your stay on the forum! You can use the
Questions & Feedback board, located right above The Welcome Lounge, if you have questions you want to ask about PC or just private message a staff member. Can always drop off a message to one of our amazing members though since they're also quite helpful. If you're just getting back into Pokemon you should check out the
X & Y board, too! ;P That's immensely popular right now, especially with the surge of news we got a few days ago. The sixth generation is looking to be quite amazing and it's exciting to see what kinds of hacks people will be able to make from those games when they're finally out.
See you around and remember to read the rules, okay! Have fun!
