No. Gen I hacks are not easier.

As Danny said, no.
Even 2nd generation hacks might be easier...
If you are beginner you are better with hacking 3rd generation ROMs as they have most tools.

I think that difficulty is a wrong word for thinking about, "Is hacking Gen I easier than gen II or possibly gen III ?". It's like this;

There aren't any game-specific tools for hacking gen I or gen II that would give you keys to do anything you'd like. You always need the background knowledge of what you're doing.
Gen I is "the most difficult" since almost everything is accomplished with hex editors, assemblers and disassembly. In gen II, there's a scripting engine but making use of it requires a lot of background knowledge about Gameboy and how it works. Gen III is coded so that you're able to do a lot of stuff without knowing anything about the games and how they're coded.

So if you wanted to do a simple hack, a gen III game would be the most simple option. If you wanted to go for something bigger and knew what you were doing all along, it wouldn't matter much if you want to hack gen I, II or III.

Ya I meant to say ARE gen 1 games easier lol, my mistake. But thanks guys ill prob make a gen 3 hack first. And again good luck with Pokémon Prototype.

Danny-E 33 June 16th, 2013 7:16 PM

Yeah, I think the way miksy put it is pretty good. Hacking a gen I game is more tedious, time consuming and less intuitive, which may be seen as synonymous to "harder".

ZakTheManaic June 17th, 2013 5:48 AM

Hey Danny do you have an estimate of when the full game will come out?

Danny-E 33 June 17th, 2013 9:13 AM

No, at this point, there is no way to estimate how long til the entire game is finished.

ZakTheManaic June 17th, 2013 2:38 PM

What about Alpha or Beta?

It is worth mentioning that I only want to release a single demo for my hack, and then the full game. I don't like the idea of having a million different betas floating around.

Also, I added my own custom devamp of the FRLG Cueball sprite!

What do you think?

ZakTheManaic June 19th, 2013 4:45 AM

It looks good, So im guessing your planning on making this hack long and fun.

Danny-E 33 June 19th, 2013 6:14 AM

Mhm! It's not a small hack by any means! :)

undeelad June 19th, 2013 8:01 AM

ZakTheManaic June 19th, 2013 9:39 AM

All of em! The birds will all be in the same place. Mew will be a new event! And I can't tell you where Mewtwo will be! That would defeat the whole purpose of the game! ;)

oshizlgzngahr June 26th, 2013 11:36 AM

Looks good, I'm excited to play this when you are finished. Keep up the good work.

Danny-E 33 June 27th, 2013 4:38 AM

Thanks! I sure am! :D I'll let you know!

czen29 July 8th, 2013 3:15 AM

then gen I and II hacks are more enjoyable ?? haha coz everything will be made from scratch :)

IrishAurum July 14th, 2013 12:21 PM

Is there an estimated time when the demo will be out? I'm interested in making a Let's play on this hack as soon as it comes out!

Danny-E 33 July 21st, 2013 12:11 AM

Yeah, it's down to a matter of months! I'll keep you updated and I'll work as hard as I can!

Zameric July 24th, 2013 10:52 AM

I just wanted to drop by again and say hello, great job so far, and please keep up to good work!

What do you think?

I think it looks amazing!
It looks a lot better the Gen I Cue Ball.
The Gen I sprite was just an obese biker guy. :p

Danny-E 33 July 24th, 2013 10:59 PM

Hey, thanks so much! I'm liking the way everything is turning out! :D

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I really hope you finish this 100% I think I've only played one Gen I rom hack that was finished and that was Pokemon Brown. Anyway I think this will be good for both of us because It'll get the word out about this hack :3

Danny-E 33 August 4th, 2013 12:56 PM

I hope to have the demo for this game available in a few months.
