3 Ideas for a ROM hack, not sure which to make

    I have several rough drafts of stories that I'd try to incorporate into a hack. Most of them are very outlandish and unorthodox, but personally, I feel like that'd make it more fun for the players. Anyway, please tell me which of these stories you'd like to see in a ROM hack most!


    POKEMON VULCAN:

    A game where the region takes place on a Volcano that had stopped erupting hundreds of years ago. Since the eruptions have ceased, people began to create civilizations along the Volcano, and eventually, a Pokemon league was formed. You play as a strapping young lad, who plans to take on the league. Your hometown is at the base of the Volcano. Each Gym is higher up along the Volcano then the next, so as you continually advance in the game you must climb higher and higher up the Volcano and adapt to the constantly changing environments. Along your journey you come across team Pyro, an evil organization set on re-igniting the Volcano with a Heatran that was found living inside of it.


    POKEMON DARKNESS:

    A game where you are a boy in a normal town, in a normal region planning on going on a normal journey with the starter Pokemon he is set to receive from the Professor soon. Your father is a retired Gym leader who still loves exploring with his Pokemon; Unfortunately, he loves exploring a little too much. He goes in a Cave that has been closed off for years because of how dangerous it is. He hasn't come out after a few days. Eventually, you decide to go inside the cave to try and find out what happened to him. After letting others know of your intentions, the Professor refuses to give you a Pokemon because he doesn't want you going on a suicide mission. You decide to steal one, and a Poke-communicator that allows you to talk to Pokemon, and head inside the Cave, not knowing what you may find.


    POKEMON DARK OAK:

    A spiritual successor to Pokemon Snakewood, only this time set in Kanto. I plan on making this just as, if not even more, as ridiculous as Snakewood.
    Please let me know what you think!

    If anyone has any ideas that could make the games better in any way, please feel free to share them.
     
    Good ideas. Kind of interested on the Snakewood sequel idea. I've been planning to make something like that too.
     
    Oh my goodness, i just read the story of your Darkness, & ITS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME, I mean its based on his Dad, except that instead of a Hero, you will be playing as a Villain.

    Dang dude, that's a wild coincidence, good luck to yours, I'll probably stick with Vulcan.
     
    Love the idea for Vulcan, but how big is this volcano? I would suggest making a region that has a volcano than a region that is built on volcano, so you have more options for environmental differences. But I like the volcano idea, that maybe the end goal is to get to it and then get to the top? Or perhaps just use a mountain range with a volcano in it, that way you can incorporate water biomes more seamlessly. Great ideas all around -- not a fan of the Snakewood one but I think that's just because I didn't really like Snakewood.
     
    Please, please, please continue with the Snakewood-esque idea! I loved Snakewood and would love to play anything resembling a sequel to it!
