I'm honestly disappointed that Pokémon Mega Power is last place at the moment, the game had such an amazing storyline and features. But I'm not suprised Pokémon Adventures - Red Chapter is in first. Both games were great while playing that's why I voted them.
altho i feel very bad about 1158 when he did so much effort for Mega Power :(

Have you played the rest of the nominations? What do you think in terms of how they stack up to the other two you mentioned?

I played all of them , but pokemon adventure red has best story , gameplay , humours , Lot's of features and all the awesome things which can't be explained in words. So I voted that ROM hack because it is worthy for it

I voted for red adventure and fire red rocket edition...I really enjoy the theories of rocket red and some how team rocket was involved for everything includeing knociking someone gold teeth out and selling it to someone lol....and adventure red , esp the new update....that's the epitome of beuty....I didn't even think they could have great pictures up like that with reactions. and the humor was fantastic....I am sad that I am to immoral to go into that building though lol great content , great everything.

six more votes for Mega Power so it can qualify for the next round

One more vote for Mega Power somebody lend Mega Power your vote

One more vote for Orange somebody lend Orange your vote

In all seriousness, Orange got a bunch of votes the first day but it pretty much died after that. Has anyone even tried it or do GBA hacks just blindly get votes?

Oh hey cool, we're allowed to make alts and throwaway accounts to boost votes? Awesome.

In all seriousness voting is being recounted right mods? Seems like shenanigans are in play :/

Edit: To clarify, I'm not referring to a certain hack which is currently in first place, it's a well known hack and it's not unusual that it's winning. I'm referring to the large number of votes that are coming out of nowhere from accounts with no posts that joined in the last 24 hours. Little dodgy no?

This poll thing was a mistake. This silly competition with no real meaning has been shaking a lot of people up for no good reason.
Just move onto the judgements and let's get this over with.

That seems pretty likely

lets go team rocket, take over the hacking world!

I played Adventure Red and I have to admit it was quite enjoyable.Nice Concept,an adaption of the Pokémon manga with winks towards the anime.

And I would vote for it if not for my childhood dream come true of become a member of Team Rocket.My vote and support goes to FRRE keep the good job colonesalt!

There isn't much of a competition, even though 1158 (that is what he's called right) could be considered up there with destinedjagold, metapod23, and Wesley as some of the biggest contributors in history. Adventure Red wins by a mile, should have won years ago and is it's likely at least 50 times better than anything else that was nominated this year.
