Something new and creative. Tiles, scripts, a new region, storyline, an evil team, fakemon, music...almost every hack has that.

I myself don't play too many hacks. I only do so if the particular hack has caught my interest.

I like the hack that has a very good whole, good scripts, maps, tiles, storyline and other graphics (sprites, OW, region map etc.).
How Nintendo's games, has everything I mentioned above will.

Fakemon. If they're good that is. For me, fakemon makes a hack original (bar topaz because the fakemon look like blobs) and I also like a hack with a little bit of humour, which is why I like pokemon Quartz and Sienna. I also like it when the hacker has actually, you know, hacked, instead of just clicking a few buttons and calling it a hack.

Good quality scripts and maps. I can't stand a hack where you literally have the same scripts as the base! IE:

I also can't stand when they just jumble up the maps in a different order, even when they have entirely new scripts, because it feels like your still in the old game, only with a few better graphics :(

Well, that's my word about it :)

I'd like to retranslate the ROM because the Chinese Edition before could only use "TOO BAD" this word to describe.

I like hack that:
Used mix tile (mix . with ruby with other generation)
Cool script
Fun map
Effort
Don't care what other say and keep on hacking

timaeus222 August 14th, 2010 10:43 PM

I like it when the hack is challenging, has a purpose, and has some sort of custom map(s).

Also, if I had a patch that were a hard mode of FireRed, plus a new area, would anyone play it?

Resultz August 15th, 2010 8:01 AM

i doubt itd be approved.

nice tiles.
RSE hacks
nice scenery in the maps

GB/GBC Hacks are usually the best. It's a harsh process of elimination. HEX Editing is quite simple, when you get the hang of it, but I am still confused in some areas.
I also enjoy tiles that are realistic, especially in forests. (Somehow, Prism is still odd to me- CBM made a good job on it)
One pet peeve is grammar mistakes. Sure, you can make a great joke out of it by having a major (or minor) character use l33t while everyone else speaks like a normal person.

You know what? When I figure out how to fix PRU, I'm going to make all Pokemon able to be captured.

What would you like to see in Pokemon Hacks?
 
Well the title says it all...
There's a thread on what annoys you in hacks, but I don't belive this one exists...
So, what would you like to see in hacks?
As for me, I would LOVE to have an alternative to bike! What I had in mind, is for a great ow spriter to make a hero's ow riding a pokemon like Arcanine, Rapidash, Tauros, or something like that! In my opinion it would be so much better, and more fun than just plain, old bike riding!
Also place for grinding, something like EV training sector in "Pokemon the Tempest" by icychill66.

So how about you...?

SonicBlazePlatinum August 25th, 2010 2:56 AM

I think I already made a thread on this. It's called "What do you like in ROM Hacks". Except I forgot the you so... :S I'll post a comment on that thread.

SonicBlazePlatinum August 25th, 2010 2:59 AM

Yeah I forgot the you in the tile, but NOTHING's prefect. This is another post from me about what I myself also would like. I like Fire Red ROM Hacks the most despite being overhacked. Well Fire Red does have the ability for 2 regions. I will make a ROM Hack of Emerald soon. Will it be coming this December?

Sewzie August 25th, 2010 5:57 AM

I love the fresh, new, and original storylines. Playing through the same plotlines of the original Pokemon games (non-hacked) over and over again can get a little boring.

Faline August 28th, 2010 8:21 PM

Something that'll challenge me to work to the hardest to win and achieve success. :D

delrachi August 29th, 2010 1:14 PM

i like to see new pokemon in hacks

bowlerdude September 2nd, 2010 5:13 AM

Mainly, creativity and playability. I don't care if there's new tiles, new Pokemon, new moves, or anything like that. I do, however, want a good storyline, a new region, new scripts (at least change up what people are saying - writing a simple message script or editing the strings in existing scripts is so easy..) and a game that you can play without having to grind for hours.

I like it if the attacks and stuff are decapitalized too, although it's not a necessity IMO.

Nightcrow September 6th, 2010 2:01 PM

-I think it has to be a challenge. All of the official pokemon games are way too easy.
-Games that find the balance between the original pokemon and the fakemon. Usually people can create a few really good fakemon, and the others aren't all that great. So yeah, replace the less popular pokemon with new ones that look awesome. But don't ruin the games with low quality fakemon!
-A training area where you can go fight trainers limitless without using the VS seeker. It also needs to have a goal, like an item for finishing the training area or so. After that it needs to be reset instead of becoming a useless area you finished.
-Either start with the national dex or have 2 area's of the same size. Don't have all extra pokemon of the national dex sit crammed in a small new area.
-No weaklings and no ubers. Being able to train the pokemon you like best, without becomming cursed by it, is awesome. It's unfair that a lvl 100 butterfree would get annihallated by a ton of pokemon that are 20 lvls behind!

That's all i can think of atm.

astar_01 September 8th, 2010 8:45 AM

I like a hack where it's all new!
I don't want to replay old scripts or explore old maps.
I like it when the tiles are nice and crisp.
I also like it when there are new overworlds.

Isn't much to ask is it?

hackerofdarkness September 11th, 2010 4:14 AM

I like a hack when he give it his/her best to the hack and never give up.

874521 September 11th, 2010 4:24 AM

I like the hack wherein first, the concept is different, like being the bad one, just an example. Second, something new to hackers' eyes, things like bus change to train, something like that... Third, (optional) new tiles and overworlds... Last, nice story, extravagant scripts!!!! I mostly like those in anime... that's for my likes in a hack...

Haz September 21st, 2010 2:44 AM

I like GOOD fakemon, not blobby-looking piles of *beeeeeeep*
FR/LG tiles with SOME new ones added. Looks great and feels familiar at the same time.
A fun storyline. Makes the game much more humorous for the player, a.k.a me :D
