Emerald or Fire Red?
 
As a hack PLAYER, would you rather play a hack of Fire Red or Emerald?

Emerald with the extra stuff, but horrible houses (door animations are hard to change. T_T)

Or Fire Red with the epical tilesets?

Thrace September 6th, 2009 1:59 AM

Uh... the point of hacking is to change the game into a completely different one right? So it shouldn't matter what ROM you are using.

I care very little what ROM the hack is based on so this wouldn't actually factor in my decision to choose one hack over the other.

Spherical Ice September 6th, 2009 2:01 AM

Funny, I just posted a thread about Emerald. =P

Anyway, if it was done good, I'd probably go for Emerald, due to the PokéNAV and the icons for each town = epic.

SPEEDIE September 6th, 2009 2:01 AM

i don't really care
i usually play the hack because it looks good not because its a hack of a certain game

ThePastaThrower September 6th, 2009 4:23 AM

I hack Ruby instead of Emerald, because of the simple fact: It's much easier to hack.

Pokepal17 September 6th, 2009 5:28 AM

I really wouldn't care. I'd rather play a hack with crappy door animations and awesome gameplay than a hack with good tilesets and bad gameplay. So it's what the hack's like, not what it's base is.

Zeffy September 6th, 2009 6:18 AM

Well meh? It doesn't really matter since I'd play any interesting hack.

Tropical Sunlight September 6th, 2009 7:24 AM

I'd say:
One of those two.

NarutoActor September 6th, 2009 3:43 PM

well if there are two Ideticel hacks but one is on firered and the other one is on emerled I would pick firered

Luck September 6th, 2009 8:07 PM

I have a personal bias towards Emerald, since it has everything I want from Firered and more. Epical tilesets are just as epically easy to change :/

DestinyBender September 7th, 2009 11:51 PM

Emerald, in my opinion.

There are better Pokemon that can be caught, like Skitty, Rayquaza.

But.. I really like the first gen Pokemons. Like Growlithe or Arcanine, Poliwhirl, Poliwag ;D

But I don't really care. As long as its enjoyable, fun, and the storyline is good.

Lol, every Rom has 360 Pokemon, so your opinion saying there are better Pokemon is not valid at all. For me, both. As long it has nice scripts, it's total awesomeness, I guess.

I'd like to play emerald but i can't find a good emerald hack

Zeikku_Sidewinder September 8th, 2009 4:48 PM

I'd like to see some people hack emerald more, because fact is:- It is just as stable as any ROM. The whole "It's not stable like Fire Red" is brought on by people not able to do anything about animations and resources, There is no indication that you MUST edit those animations. Fire Red is overused and I suppose it's features do appeal to most and I'll agree it has great structure to the way it's built. Fact is; I'm really dying to play an Emerald hack, the only promising one to me right now is, Pokemon: Eisstrum by tutti and that's only when he's working on it.

On topic.
I'd say Emerald, for originality purposes.

HackMew September 8th, 2009 11:29 PM

I honestly don't care. If a hack/hacker is truly good, the base doesn't matter at all. FireRed might be overused, but how much quality hacks do we actually have? Remember folks: the base is nothing. What makes the difference is the effort we put into it. And for the sake of intelligence, let's all just stop talking about "stability". Kthx?

Yeah, no ROM is "unstable". If it messes up then the person hacking it is the one who messed up.

Oh, there are plenty of unstable ROMs. Just not Pokémon ROMs.

Blaziquaza September 12th, 2009 12:30 AM

I'd say Emerald.Apart from the animations thing and hard to inset tilesets,it's good for hacking.

0m3GA ARS3NAL September 12th, 2009 2:52 AM

As of a few days ago, I think Fire Red owns ALL other ROM's, including Leaf Green, reason being JPAN released a patch that makes A LOT of new stuff happen, including even being able to make shiny pokemon, without having to have the shiny hack in your ROM.
You should check it out in the toolbox I suppose, lol, as it kinda makes my opinion completely biased.

Platinum Lucario September 12th, 2009 2:10 PM

Emerald basically has most of the best features in it, including the internal clock. And there is now a tool in which prevents the truck motion at the start of the game.
And the weather effects... like the sunny weather effect for instance would cause FireRed/LeafGreen to crash whenever you go onto the map, but it won't do anything to Emerald or R/S. So basically, if I had a choice... I'd go for Emerald. And I would copy the town map style from FireRed when doing a remake of Gold, Silver, or Crystal. Cause you can change some of the hex data. Even though I don't really know how to change the town map style in Emerald.

DestinyBender September 12th, 2009 4:19 PM

I've changed my mind.

Fire Red.

I like the 1st Gen Pokemons.

You've got first gen Pokemon in Emerald too...O.o And vice versa.

colcolstyles September 14th, 2009 4:49 PM

Berries are practically the only thing that's compelling me to pick Emerald over Fire Red. But in terms of maps, scripts, tiles, spites, etc., both of them can be hacked adequately and equally.

~Gibson~ September 15th, 2009 5:08 AM

I'd say it depends on what you want to do in your hack. If you wanna create more than a single region, you'd go for Fire Red because of its 4 worldmaps; but if you want to play around with berries (like colcolstyles said)or use some dive maps, Emerald is the best choice. Also someone (dunno who^^) said, it was easier to insert new tiles into Fire Red than into Emerald, but I ain't sure about that;

greetz,
Gibson

560cool. September 15th, 2009 5:19 AM

Really ?
Well , FireRed cuz it is easier to hack . Actually , I hacked Emerald only in my first days of hacking (somewhaere in 2006... ) .
Then I learned the best choices are : Ruby OR FireRed .

Final Choice : FireRed
