[blueblure2003]

I haven't kept up with pokemon rom hacks since I was in middle school, SHOW ME DAT GOOD SHIT!

I liked Pokemon Gaia, glazed B8.6.3, Unbound and flora sky
They are pretty good.

Seconding Glazed. The community continued it, and it's at 9.1 now. It's kinda annoying to find, though, so I'm posting the patch here. You need the nointro US Emerald ROM.

The English language ROM, to be specific. It's rare for Pokémon games to have regional differences between English-speaking countries. (I think Crystal and Platinum are the only ones?)

Pokemon Shiny Gold is an oldie, but goodie.

You're right. I just had the nointro naming convention in my head at the time because I actually grabbed the updated archive that day. That's why I'm trawling this board. I got a nostalgia itch thanks to a new tablet.

Also, there's quite a few versions of the English ROM floating around that the patch won't work with. That might be different these days, but I remember having a time finding a proper ROM back in the early development of Glazed. Thankfully, we now have folks who only care about preservation. Here are the hashes of the proper ROM if anyone has any trouble. The nointro.gba archive will also have what you need.

There was another Johto remake rom hack I played the fuck out of when I was a kid called Pokemon Crystal Dust

There's also Liquid Crystal. It's super faithful to gen 2. It's another one that's a bit of a pain to grab, so here's the patch (requires English FireRed).

This is a good thread

I'll mention Radical Red, you can find it ready to plop straight into a GBA emulator or open AGB firm. I'm not on the right laptop to attach my file but I can pop it in later from my personal laptop if anyone wants to find it and is struggling.

Some of the horror themed ones are pretty good fun. Try Korosu or Snakewood.

 

[Titney]

Maybe more of a novelty but this hack is really neat:

For me, I personally think there are too many

Pokemon Ash Gray. its based on the anime.

Pokemon ROWE is getting a lot of buzz from my own ROM hack research lately. Open-world Emerald that seems jam packed with features.

Check Pokemon Quetzal. It‘s Emerald but as an MMO with Gen 1-8 Contents.
