    I want to find out as much as I can about Pokemon Hacking. So does anyone know who made the first hack? Who started the craze. Any and all information will be helpful.
     
    The first Pokemon ROM hack I know of was blue hack called 'Pokemon Trep Edition', but nothing much got changed in it. I think that was back in 1998.
     
    I got into it after finding Phil Reuben (he's the only one on facebook) and Vida's translations of gold and silver. I do believe PokéEdit "Jass Fuller" hacked the japanese versions of red/blue long before they were released in america so he always knew that little bit more than everyone else.
     
    yeah the first hack was trep edition i typed in google first ever pokemon hack bam trep edition and some pokemon brown
     
    The Pokémon Brown game is one of the best Pokémon ROM-hacks ever. It wasn't first, but it was most perfect GB ROM-hack and still is. You can even find its author here on Pokécommunity - Coolboyman.
     
    If you look up data crystal on google, it will come up with a wiki type of website about room hacking. If you look up Pokemon Brown, it will say that it was- though an ameteur hack, was the first and inspirational hack done. This led to many others to hack.

    So in conclusion, however said Brown before, is right. Okay?
