GSC hacks should not be up against R/S/E hacks due to this. Besides, even if they're all the same base, it's still just a popularity contest; not everyone voting knows everything about every hack to make an informed decision. I would have chosen Rose based on graphics too, but I haven't played any and don't know the inner workings, hence why I abstained.was a good response from the mods...still abstaining from the votes cos i dont really like any of the three.
Actually perhaps we can reevaluate whether having a democracy in deciding HotQ might be a good idea, considering how 33% of the voters went for an edit (IMO NOT A HACK)...
really sad to see another gsc HACK in the doldrums of the poll again. pretty colours over everything i guess.
This is true, it's mostly just a popularity contest yet I still think it should be left as it is. The majority of the rom hacks are of 3rd gen games so if another competition would be made for all hacks excluding those, there wouldn't be many to vote for and the competition would be totally pointless.GSC hacks should not be up against R/S/E hacks due to this.

And I just realized something neat related to the main post. What we actually are voting for isn't defined anywhere. It's just "Hack of the Quarter" competition. What does a hack being "Hack of the Quarter" mean? Is it the hack with the most entertaining gameplay? The best storyline, or something else? For now, it's pretty much the one most popular and graphically appealing.This Hack of the Quarter competition will run to the first of December, so you have until then to vote for your choice. The winning hack's thread will be stickied for three months, until the next competition's winner is announced and it will also be added to PokéCommunity's official ROM Hacking Hall of Fame. The thread's owner will also receive an emblem to go along with their accomplishment. Only those hacks which are in either the Progressing Hacks or the Hacks Showcase forums and have not won Hack of the Month/ Quarter/ Year previously are eligible for nomination.
Feel free to discuss which hack you voted for and why, but please keep the comments clean. Ready? Go!
Pokemon Bronze is okay. It's honestly not fantastic and the tiles that spell out "POOP" where the player can't see are retarded.
