    • I always wanted to learn how to hack, but never had the iniative. As soon as I googled hacking, My laziness was replaced with ideas... That's how I started..

    I searched google for how to play GB games on the computer and I stumbled across them. As soon as I found out about them, I thought, "Hey, most of these aren't bad". Honestly, I now play hack games more than official ones.

    My story goes back a little bit... A year or so ago, spriting was my favorite thing in the world. Whenever I got bored I would make a splice or google for some cool sprites. On one such google trip, I found TR(Team Rockets Rockin). I was looking around and I found the section on fake pokemon games (Quarts, Choas Black, hacks like those). That sparked my interest, so I started googling 'fake pokemon games'. After looking at tons of games, I thought, 'Hey, couldn't I do that?' and that was the start of my adventure. I found Pokecommunity soon after that, and this place has been an invaluable source of tools and resources ever since.

    I've been roleplaying with my friends for years about variants to the Pokemon games/show. (In fact, I have a 5 MB text file listing pretty much all the known mechanics of all the existing Pokemon games, changes between the versions, and my on-paper attempts to balance/patch them all.) When I discovered the tools for hacking games a few months ago, I decided to try my hand at realizing my plans.

    • I wanted the be able to play the old Pokemon TCG on GBC but since it isn't sold anymore and my brother got me an emulation of it. After Emerald came out I couldn't afford a copy (I have a genuine copy now second hand) so I went on google and got VBA and the Emerald ROM. One of the other ROMS was a hack (I forget it's name) so after a bit of googling I found advanced map and other tools as well as PC and after finally bothering to get a userlogin here I am making my own hack.

    I discovered pokemon brown a while back. I was amazed at what coolboyman was able to do. Then I discovered pokecommunity, and now I am in the process of making my own hack.

    • Along time ago, I played gba games a lot, such as Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, Leafgreen, Emerald... I started to want to play games ive never been able to before, like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon or Pokemon Gold or Crystal. I then found out that you could play Gba games on the computer via emulator. I soon became bored of those and found out about Gameshark codes. I had great fun stealing other trainers pokemon and buying Master balls at a Mart etc. I then started my video hack series called Pokemon: Hacked which was made up of videos of me playing Pokemon Red with gameshark codes. I soon got bored of this and found out about: ROM Hacking!!! I joined PC soon after and took up Music composing for GBA roms, and I went searching around for a Hacking team or two to put my GBA musical knowledge into something useful: GBA Pokemon hacks!! I also do other things. I can make banners, script, map, Overworld editing and a bunch of other little things. I'm currently working as Music Composer for Pokemon Morganite, and i also make the Pokemon Hack series called Pokemon: The Hack Files that I run through YouTube. I still play GBA games on my Gameboy advance and I still love it. That, my friend, is how I found out about ROM Hacking..
