Hey there N30! A big hearty welcome to the community. :)
You've come to the right place if you're interested in hacks since we have so, so many here in our Emulation board. PC's hacks are quite well-known amongst the Pokemon hacking fanbase and for a very good reason; there are so many tools and awesome games around for both hacks players as well as those looking to create their own game in the future. The library is really wide and extensive.. though that also means you might get lost around there easier. Emulation has a lot of subforums and threads so it's all right if you get confused looking around, but that's what our wonderful members and staff are for! If you're not sure where to find something on the forum, just ask over in the
Questions & Feedback board. I'm always around to help out as well so don't ever be scared to send me a message. We can use that time to get to know each other more and become friends, too! Always helps to have a friend around the community, after all. Makes things a bit more fun.
And Crystal was awesome! That's one of my favorite Pokemon games and it never gets boring to play it. If you played through generation 3 and beyond, we have some cool boards to discuss those generations here so be sure to stop by! You're able to ask questions about the games in their respective boards as well as discuss them with others, and even log your journeys using our travel journal threads. There's a ton to do here if you're a big Pokemon fan, but we also have lots of off-topic boards like Forum Clubs & Groups and Debates & Discussions for you to participate in. You're going to have lots of fun. :D
Do you enjoy any other parts of the Pokemon franchise? The games are popular but there's also the anime, cards, manga, merchandise, and even fan-works like stories and artwork to check out. Pokemon fans are creative and amazing people - PC just happens to have so many of them around the community, hehe.
See you around and don't forget to read the rules! Wonderful meeting you.
