    For me personally, I would have to say ever since I was a kid I enjoyed seeing the Pokemon anime and the fact of feeling as if I was on an adventure. Seeing different things, experiencing a life of untold stories and becoming a master. I would also say playing hacks that people have made. The one that really inspired me was Pokemon Identity. It was something fresh and new, not to mention the story revolving more on the character. Made me want to create a story more exciting and interesting.

    So, what inspired YOU to the dedication of a Pokemon ROM hack creation?

    I think it was just that when I discovered hacks, some of them were just amazing, and of course I really wanted to make my own world full of my ideas too. It really interested me because you have full control over everything. You can do whatever you want.
     
    Pretty much what chrunch said =) The control over your own world, put your own ideas into reality, do whatever you want and feel good that you accomplished something :)
     
    The way to add more beauty to the game.
    I saw many hacks, and one of DestinedJagold's hack were the best.
    It makes me want to add more life to the game and explore further.
    Because of Jagold and his hack, I made a decision to make my own.
    And I've seen how can the hack successfully made when it's finished
    It's so beautiful and exciting to play. Depends on the story and graphics.
     
    Ever since I started Rom Hacking, Pokemon has been one of those games that I have wanted to make a romhack on. In mid-July, what has inspired me to make a Pokemon hack is Pokemon Snakewood itself, as well as a certain creepypasta and hearing some music from different games (which I hope to insert into the game using Sappy).
     
    I was playing LeafGreen for the billionth time, when it occurred to me that I wanted a whole new story, one that I could create. When I tried to make the hack, since I was extremely inexperienced, I didn't get very far and gave up. One year later, I had a dream that I was playing my own FireRed hack. That's when I started it up again.
     
    I would have to say Shiny Gold. After seeing how awesome a romhack could be I decided to give it a try myself. I didn't go out and start making my own on the get go, I paired up with another couple of n00bs at the time, Druyii, Vrai, FrosslassManiac, and 1 or 2 other people, and we tried our best to make a ROMhack. Obviously, as most ROMhacks go, we never even got the hack into alpha. We had so many cool ideas too. I eventually came up with idea after idea and eventually got one or 2 that I stuck with and still to this day I want to finish. I've come back to give DS hacking a try so I can eventually get my very own hack out there and eventually completed.
     
    Well I wanted to make my own Pokémon game so I ended up browsing the internet and found Mewthree9000's Chaos Black. I later found Serg!o's Naranja and that's what made me eventually find PC, PHO, and Linkandzelda, been working behind-the-scenes for years now.
     
    Well I played Ruby alot like more than 60 times then it came to me You know the feeling where you get bored and want another game play so I started researching on how to edit the game but just found on how to hack then Eventually I found Pokemon Ruby Destiny:Reign of Legends by DestinedJagold then found this site then I started ROM hacking. :D

    I used to be the same. Incidentally, I found shiny gold by searching pokémon gold shiny gameshark code, and found a video of a youtube using the walk-through-walls code trying to find what zel didn't release. I thought, "Gee Whiz, this looks way better than gold!", and I dropped my search for the elusive shiny pokémon code and played it until I beat it. Then the rest is history. (See above)
     
    I've just started for the sole reason that I am getting sick of both the repetitive nature of it all and the aiming it at children. I want nitty gritty stuff. So I'm aiming to bring a bit of that in. Still early days but I've got plans and it's going well so far.
     
    The Johto Region <3 Pokemon Crystal. The fact that second generation consisted of two regions. I want to bring it back <3
     
    could someone make a POkemon BW hack ? i mean convert the Pokemon BW into gba :( the scripts, the rivals, the characters, and buildings.. i mean everything -,-
     
    I just want better Pokemon, but I might expand... thinking on it... I have other projects, so I don't know if I'll be 100% invested in hacking Pokemon, but I took this on as an enlightenment journey from my previous N64 hacking experiences.

    I figure I could improve if I learn some basic concepts from Pokemon games, and have fun with it too.

    Documentation helps, but I have noticed a lot of missing documentation, which is not what I expected... but, I am not surprised (from previous experiences).
     
    I always wanted to make games but never really tried to search how to until I discovered Pokémon Rom hacking, Pokémon Roms have a lot of limitations tough... But still, I can make my own game the way I like it and feel it, so yeah! :3
    But, damn it, it is too much time consuming.... -.-' I guess, that's what wise people call patience... >.>
     
    U dont Have limits i think,its u can make "pokémon" how u Want it ,
    and can show everyone ur Creativity
     
    i was in the internet, then i see something that make me fall in love: Skeetendo.
    1st i give a look for some days, then i decided to create an account, after one month, lookin' in the pokemon Sterling Silver Cry of Celebi, i decided to create my own hack.
