Pokemon Hacks

[Twister]

I've been playing Pokemon hacks a lot lately. So far I've played through AshGray, Dark Energy, Flora Sky, Glazed!, Light Platinum, Snakewood and I'm currently playing through FireRed Omega. My favourite so far has to be Snakewood, loved the whole zombie angle. It was nice to have something different instead of the usual, get all the badges, fight the bad guys, beat the Elite Four, bish bash bosh.

Anyone else play the hacks, which ones would you recommend?

Ive played AshGray but thats about it. Wasnt really intriguing to me, i guess.

AshGray was okay, more of a novelty because it plays through the story lines in the TV series but I think there are much better ones out there.

I recommend Ruby Destiny: Life of Guardians. (hack of the year for 2009). There were a lot of creative things done from a hacking perspective. And it was a lot harder than the usual Pokemon game. You win a lot less prize money from trainer battles, so you have to be more strategic with what you buy. The Pokemon League consists of like 16 trainers with all types who use Pokemon in their 80s. And the final boss fight is freaking insane. I liked this hack a lot.

I have yet to play any of the Ruby Destiny games, but I think once I've finished FireRed Omega I will make a start on them.

Quite enjoying FRO so far, although I haven't had to catch a single Pokemon for my party, due to being given them by random people in the game. You can get all 3 starters from the first 3 generations (I think), plus an Eevee (as expected) and a Porygon. Apart from the Pokemon and battle opponents I've not seen any noticeable differences between it and the original FireRed version although perhaps it was intended that way.

This is intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

For serious, I want all the starting pokemon! And a million Eevees!

But no harder difficulty, I prefer to minutely control all aspects of my playable characters lives - there can be no margin for error! Also, I am lazy.

What is the hack for me?!

Pokemon Zeta and Omicron are pretty damn good. They're not hacks though, standalone games. Same concept though, a slightly different Pokemon experience from the one you'll be used to.

FireRed Omega, the one i'm currently playing sounds pretty fitting for what you want. You can get all 3 starters from the first 3 generations, although you can only get one Eevee in the game but hey that's better than nothing, right?? The overall levels of the people you battle are higher and slightly more challenging but as a result you get extra XP so in turn your pokemon will level up faster... or alternatively you could use a Gameshark code for unlimited rare candy. What ever works!

Finished FireRed Omega and have just started Life of Guardians, there's a lot of going back and forth between towns but I've just got the third symbol and I'm really enjoying it so far.

Sounds like I need to give it another chance
