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^^

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.
Everything ends,
and that's always sad.
But everything begins again, too,
and that's always happy.

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. :)

Long story short, I saw tamashiihiroka's(hopefully I spelled that right) videos and my curiosity got the best of me. Short, right?
Haha, same here dude. First thing I did was make my own hack series... then after awhile I found my way here.

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.
