I was YouTubing pokemon battles and ran across something called ShinyGold. I followed a few links and--voila!
A week later I was scripting basic events.

My friend was BSing about a "Pokemon Sapphire Human wierd hack" that he made.

Well, to make a long story short, I found out about Emulation roughly two and a half years ago and I discovered ROM Hacking a little more than a year after that (May of 2008, to be precise). I think it was finals week and I was procrastinating studying so I started Googling "how to make your own pokémon game" and, after a hell of a lot of searching, found this place.
And I've been here ever since^^

Long story short, I saw tamashiihiroka's(hopefully I spelled that right) videos and my curiosity got the best of me. Short, right?

Through WAH.
I was kinda bored with III gen games so I was searching for something new.
And then I found WAH and Ruby Destiny, Shiny Gold and others.
Becuase WAH didn't have full games I tried to check other websites so I found PC.

No, he was saying that he made that hack that you play as a Pokemon and battle with humans.

I discovered Pokemon Naranja. Then with enough googling I found Pokecommunity.

Well, it was quite a while ago, say...two years ago? I was searching youtube when I found tons of videos of weird fat guys in emerald. I think that was it anyway, lol.

I found a Shiny Gold playthrough on YouTube and then I used google.

Same here... XD
I was surprised to see Naranja, a Pokemon hack... O.o

Then I played Quartz.

Cello September 5th, 2009 9:29 AM

My cousin was telling me about ShinyGold, and I was interested, so me and him sat down and played it.

We then looked up how to hack the roms. I found WAH this way. Then one day while I was googling for english guides I found pokecommunity. :)

Haha, same here dude. First thing I did was make my own hack series... then after awhile I found my way here.

5qwerty September 5th, 2009 3:11 PM

I played quartz, then I wanted to make something like that, so then I searched Pokemon Hacking Tools, and found Pokecommunity, and then blah, blah, blah.

thethethethe September 5th, 2009 6:29 PM

Found Emuation in about '05. I think I found Quartz, Chaos Black and Naranja soon after, maybe in '06. Then some R/B hacks. Got bored one day, found Shiny Gold and had to join here to download it.

NarutoActor September 5th, 2009 6:30 PM

haha is that how you got the creative name

thethethethe September 5th, 2009 6:36 PM

Well, I never planned on hacking and it was the first thing that popped into my head. I guess I've just stuck with it.

NarutoActor September 5th, 2009 6:40 PM

oh okay it fits you :D......

Mages4ever September 5th, 2009 6:43 PM

I was on Youtube one day, and I saw this thing called Pokemon Quartz, so looked into it and tried to figure out how they did it. I Google'd around and found here. Then I just stayed here.

jakerman999 September 5th, 2009 6:50 PM

I'm another who came in through tamashii's vids. popped in "edit pokémon roms" into my google bar and this was the first credible english site i found.

Integra Hellsing September 5th, 2009 11:58 PM

When Pokemon Red was released, I was spending pretty much time on the Game Boy Color and playing it. One day I had the great idea to create a Pokemon version where you are Team Rocket member, that tries to catch as many pokemon as possible, also trying to reach your dream to become a top leader of Team Rocket. Later on, about 3-4 years ago, I was doing mods for GTA:SA, one day via google I found that there was an GBA Emulator, so I did download it, and I found the ROMs, later on I searched through Google and I found the tools like Advance Map. I was doing some changes the whole time just to have some fun, or for my friends adding some new teleports or trainer scripts and Maps. That's how I have got involved into Pokemon ROM hacking.
