IMPORTANT: Following a takedown request, the following hacks have been delisted from PokéCommunity:

  • Pokémon Glazed
  • Pokémon: Giratina Strikes Back
  • Pokémon Flora Sky
  • Pokémon Stranded
The downloads and discussion threads for these hacks will no longer be accessible, and staff will be unable to return questions regarding accessing this content.

PokéCommunity is preparing to undergo a major update in 2023. All members should ensure they can access the email associated with their account as a password reset might be required post-update. The exact date of transition will be made available at a later date.

It appears IMGUR will be (and apparently has already started) deleting images that weren't uploaded directly to an account. You can check the update notes on IMGUR here.

We know a lot of you will have used IMGUR to upload images for your threads and other PC content (signatures, flairs, etc.) and not everyone was doing so with an account.

So please note that some of your existing images may break at some point in the future. We recommend making an IMGUR account if you plan to continue using IMGUR.

Could the D&P source code leak finally be the key to more advanced gen 4 hacks?

Bulky Ledian, Aug 2020: I really don't see how using source code would be any more illegal than romhacking as normal. And as long as you don't say you used the leaked source code, any lawyers would have no way of knowing.

Could different gens be romhacked to be fully compatible with each other?

mgriffin, May 2020: IIRC the reason gen 3 couldn't trade with gen 1/2 was because the voltages used by the GB/GBC mode and the GBA mode are different, so it's impossible to get them to communicate. Can't remember where I heard that, probably GBATEK. It may, or may not...

What is your favourite aspect of ROM hacking?

STikER, Apr 2020: It's scripting for sure. Yes, it requires precision and you have no right to make a mistake when writing scripts, but when you finish a script and it works exactly how you imagined it in-game it's just a joy to watch.
