What do you want to see in a Hack?

[Amentis]

I'd like to see one that used completely original content (I.E. your own sprites for bulbasaur, your own songs, your own characters [other than pokemon obviously], your own geography) and the ability to trick this rom into thinking it's apart of the diamond/pearl or r/s/e series so it can linkup with them. If that's not possible then Why not just make your own game, where instead of 'catching pokemon' it's you and a couple of friends who go around battling people one on one or two on two.

You do not need to "trick" the rom. If you want to trade/battle with real pokemon games all you need to do is download the rom onto a flash cart and trade like you would normally, I have done it before. Although you have to be careful with the way you edit the rom. certain things like changing base stats could result in the pokemon becoming a bad egg when you trade it.

Something not Pokemon.

There are too many Pokemon ROM Hacks being made. Be original!

Like Dratii and I. Hacking FE!

Hej,


I think a good hack should be very creative and original, without having too much of a difference to the basic pokemon game play. I think most of the new games focus on improving things that don't need any improvements (such as some dumb new evolution form. Seriously, who needs Lickitongue to evolve?? ) which makes them IMHO pretty much of a failed attempt. For a good hack, you need to focus on little details, whether a certain pokemon is likely to be caught in a certain area etc.
I don't need to get all of the ~500 Pokemon in ONE SINGLE game. Who the hell might need that? Why not try to have only the Johto Pokemon e.g. in a new area close to it or so. I think we don't need any more invain tries to make a very "special, new, creative" hack but a hack that is made with a lot of attention payed to details and logical aspects.
