    I was on Youtube one day, and I saw this thing called Pokemon Quartz, so looked into it and tried to figure out how they did it. I Google'd around and found here. Then I just stayed 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.

    In Youtube, a hacker named Tamashihiroka has influenced me to Rom Hacking. That's pretty much it.

    Me and my friend were talking about pokémon and stuff then he brought up that he had found AdvanceMap on the internet and he had destroyed Saffron City and replaced it with a bunch of rocks which formed the shape of a crudely drawn gentleman's whoopsie. He isn't very sophisticated.

    I was poking around at some rom site and found Amarillo Solar. Then, I was looking for other Pokemon games and found out that Amarillo Solar was a hack. Wondering how they hacked it, I was browsing around and stumbled upon several hacking sites, like pkmnhackersonline.com.

    Then I found Pokecommunity and have been here ever since.

    • So... it came out like this: One day, my friend told me that there's a Pokemon Game with Gyarados as its cover, and I was curious. So then, my friend gave me a picture of it. (It has "Pokemon Quartz" as its title) I went to Serebii, and found NOTHING about Quartz. So then, I went to Youtube, and I found out that Quartz is a "fake" Pokemon Game. Then, I watched loads of videos about Quartz. Till one of them, said: If you want to Download this, go register in this Website: pokecommunity.com So I went in the community website, and I found out 'bout this place. I downloaded Quartz, and I had a great time. Days passed, until today, it is where I am, a proud member of Poke Community.
