    I recently finished translating an old Ruby hack named Pokemon Versione Spugnosa from Italian to English. In the hack, you play as SpongeBob SquarePants (or his gender swap, Barbara) in a fully underwater interpretation of the Pokemon world. The hack isn't complete, and like many old hacks, it's very buggy, but it should still get you 20-30 minutes of entertainment. Just make sure to save as often as you can.

    Original hack by: Francesco998
    Initial translation by: Phantonomy
    Cleanup and additional translation by: jicem

    You can download the translated patch here.

    If you want to play the original Italian version of the game, you can download the patch for that here.

    You will need to patch the latest version of Ruby for this game. If there's enough interest, I might do a remake with fewer bugs and more content using the Emerald decomp, though. To be continued, maybe.
