play00:02

ROM hacks me of course included since

play00:04

I've played about a billion of them at

play00:07

this point and because there are so many

play00:09

out there it's hard to choose which ones

play00:11

to play well I'm going to help you guys

play00:13

with that today because we'll be going

play00:15

over my top 10 favorite ROM hacks I'm

play00:18

not gonna lie this list was very hard

play00:20

for me to put together and could change

play00:22

at any moment if a rom hack gets an

play00:24

update or a new one gets released this

play00:26

list will also not include any fan games

play00:28

even though I would love to put Pokemon

play00:30

in searches and stuff on here I'm not

play00:32

going to be doing that because they

play00:34

deserve a list of their own in the

play00:36

future also keep in mind that this is

play00:38

strictly my opinion so if you don't

play00:40

agree with me that's totally fine I

play00:42

would love to hear which rum hacks you

play00:44

love in the comments down below I just

play00:46

want to say one more thing and that's

play00:48

that I'm running a giveaway on my

play00:50

Twitter right now so you have a chance

play00:52

to win scarlet and violet on the day of

play00:55

release all you have to do is follow the

play00:57

instructions on the Tweet itself and

play00:59

maybe you'll be the lucky he wanted to

play01:00

get either Scarlet or Violet for free

play01:02

good luck without any further Ado let's

play01:06

jump right into my number 10 pick

play01:10

and this one is going to be Pokemon

play01:12

fused Dimensions created by Dante z35

play01:17

this game is based on Pokemon fire red

play01:19

and while the main story remains

play01:22

unchanged this game's beauty lies in its

play01:25

absolutely Peak design of fusion Pokemon

play01:28

yes the game has total Abominations what

play01:31

the hell is this but it also has the

play01:33

beauty

play01:34

that are serpidos and vinegar and so

play01:37

many quality of life features like the

play01:39

physical special split generation 5

play01:41

repel system which makes any game 10

play01:43

times better and just so much more but

play01:46

the main feature I love about this game

play01:48

is the shiny encounter raid which has

play01:51

been upped by a ton

play01:54

I myself have played this game for

play01:56

countless hours even capturing the

play01:58

entire shiny decks and it recently got

play02:01

an update which added 150 new fused

play02:03

Pokemon so once I play that version this

play02:06

might go even higher on the list but for

play02:09

now it remains at a nice number 10. I

play02:12

would love it if this game had like a

play02:14

backstory or an origin story to all the

play02:16

fusion Pokemon and it wouldn't just be

play02:18

the regular fire red base game but still

play02:21

if you love Fusion Pokemon this game is

play02:24

a hundred percent for you

play02:26

for the number nine spot I'll be going

play02:29

for my first and only GameCube game on

play02:32

this list Pokemon XG next gen I recently

play02:36

played this game for a hundred hours and

play02:38

boy was it worth it Pokemon XD Gale of

play02:41

darkness is already my favorite Pokemon

play02:43

game of all time and this just made it

play02:46

so much better while they once again

play02:48

didn't change the main story at all they

play02:50

added in so many things like over a

play02:53

hundred new Shadow Pokemon which makes

play02:55

the game's replayability so much better

play02:58

and besides that they also gave the

play03:00

Shadow Pokemon new moves like Shadow

play03:02

freeze which can freeze an enemy the

play03:05

only move in any Pokemon game that's a

play03:07

guaranteed freeze they gave Pokemon new

play03:09

abilities that suit them better made the

play03:11

game a lot more challenging which I also

play03:14

liked but not to the point where it

play03:16

feels unfair because you have so many

play03:18

Pokemon available to yourself that have

play03:20

great movesets and abilities they also

play03:22

managed to include alolan forms which I

play03:25

found really cool to see in a Generation

play03:27

3 GameCube game and there's also a

play03:29

little bit of post game content added

play03:31

like capturing the legendary Hoenn Trio

play03:33

and legendary beasts so if you decide to

play03:36

play this one you'll definitely be good

play03:38

for the next couple of weeks the creator

play03:40

of this game is Stars and he did an

play03:43

absolute wonderful job but it's time to

play03:45

get into our number 8 spot

play03:49

and over here we have our first custom

play03:51

region which is the hupest region of

play03:54

Pokemon source and that's also the main

play03:56

reason why I love this game it has its

play03:59

very own custom story which is pretty

play04:01

damn interesting because you play as a

play04:04

boy named Asher and his mother and

play04:06

father actually created the evil team of

play04:08

this region called team Eclipse they are

play04:11

trying to create powerhouses of Pokemon

play04:13

called Eclipse Pokemon which have

play04:15

different forms and are mainly just a

play04:18

lot stronger than regular Pokemon and of

play04:20

course as the main protagonist you can't

play04:22

let the evil team win so you're going to

play04:25

have to try and take them down I won't

play04:27

spoil too much about the game so I'll

play04:29

just go over the features now it does

play04:31

have his very own custom soundtrack

play04:33

which is mostly just remixes of other

play04:36

game music but it helps a ton with

play04:38

setting the tone of the game

play04:49

it also has its very own art design

play04:52

which I find really appealing to look at

play04:54

every Pokemon up until Generation 7 is

play04:57

available and there is 48 new Eclipse

play04:59

Pokemon so you have a ton of catching to

play05:02

do too there is now also a soaring

play05:04

feature which lets you soar around the

play05:07

map like in Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha

play05:09

Sapphire on a latias's back which in my

play05:12

opinion is a really cool and Innovative

play05:14

way to get around a GBA rom hack and

play05:17

there is also a bunch of side quests in

play05:19

the game with an actual Quest lock so

play05:21

they can keep track of which quests

play05:23

you've already completed and which ones

play05:25

you still have to do oh and did I

play05:27

mention the design of the Rival in this

play05:29

game it is top tier I love Frio he is

play05:34

just amazing props the vitron on his

play05:36

team for making such a great rom hack

play05:38

[Music]

play05:40

Pokemon GS Chronicles is going to be our

play05:43

number seven pick it's been created by

play05:45

Overlord Cactus and rookie Studios and

play05:48

it remakes Pokemon Gold and Silver in

play05:50

the best GBA fashion possible starting

play05:53

off with a title screen which already

play05:55

looks great the game offers an updated

play05:58

story of the regular Johto games the

play06:00

main plot does remain the same but there

play06:02

is a lot of added scenes and some areas

play06:05

that have never been used before like

play06:07

the Goldenrod sewers the game also

play06:09

expands a little bit more on the team

play06:11

rocket admins story adding in some

play06:14

dialogue and events that aren't in the

play06:16

regular gold and silver every Pokemon

play06:19

from Generation 1 to 4 is available Mega

play06:22

Evolution is also included which is a

play06:24

big bonus and yes you can also Dynamax

play06:27

and gigantomax if you want to just like

play06:29

in the regular gold and silver there

play06:31

will be a day and night cycle and

play06:34

depending on whether it is day or night

play06:36

different Pokemon will appear besides

play06:38

that they gave the starter Pokemon new

play06:40

Mega Evolutions which also look so

play06:42

astonishing and the entire tile set and

play06:45

graphic style is just so aesthetically

play06:47

pleasing I just love looking at it also

play06:50

no more need for HMS as they also

play06:52

introduced poke rides so if you wanna

play06:54

experience Pokemon Gold and Silver on

play06:57

the Game Boy this is the game you should

play06:59

go with

play07:03

popular ROM hacks that's ever been

play07:05

created radical red and there is a very

play07:08

good reason for its popularity while

play07:10

mainly the story of fire red Remains the

play07:13

Same they did add in some new events to

play07:16

spice things up they added in Mewtwo

play07:19

Giovanni event the Team Rocket admins

play07:21

which are now super cool and also

play07:23

menacing the fight but the main reason

play07:25

why people play this game is because of

play07:27

its difficulty which is perfect it's not

play07:30

too difficult to where you are getting

play07:33

frustrated but it's also not easy and

play07:36

for people that want a greater challenge

play07:37

those guys can pick up hardcore mode

play07:40

which is something that makes the main

play07:42

game which is already hard even harder

play07:44

by removing EVs and giving the opponents

play07:47

even better teams for the people that

play07:49

want to play on easy mode that's also

play07:51

possible but besides its difficulty this

play07:53

game is notorious for how easy it is to

play07:57

build a team starting out with Pokemon

play07:59

almost every single one is available

play08:01

from Generation 1 to 8 even the hisuian

play08:05

forms are in there right now besides

play08:07

that you have the deck snap which will

play08:09

allow you to search for specific Pokemon

play08:11

and if you keep your chain high enough

play08:13

your Pokemon will get better they will

play08:15

have better moves they will have better

play08:17

abilities it's just so much fun to find

play08:20

that three star Pokemon with the right

play08:22

stats and moves to the feature next

play08:24

opponent besides that Pokemon have also

play08:27

gotten new movesets and abilities to

play08:30

make certain Pokemon that are normally

play08:31

not viable now way better and if you

play08:35

don't like a Pokemon's EV spread you can

play08:38

always change that by going to the Evita

play08:40

leader talking about EVS it's also

play08:43

really easy to grind them up as there is

play08:45

a trainer available that will allow you

play08:47

to train any stat with a ton of money

play08:49

you can also give your Pokemon perfect

play08:51

stats you can buy Shiny Pokemon from the

play08:54

game corner and on top of that you can

play08:56

even randomize it in the game itself

play08:58

which is something not a lot of ROM

play09:00

hacks can do I could keep rambling on

play09:03

about radical red features but the main

play09:06

point is that this game is just so well

play09:09

optimized it's been created by Supercell

play09:12

and his team and this is the definite

play09:14

way to play through the Kanto region

play09:18

now at the number 5 spot we have another

play09:21

Pokemon Fusion game but this one in my

play09:24

opinion is the best one out there it's

play09:26

called Fusion 3 and I have already done

play09:29

multiple videos on it because the

play09:31

Pokemon in this rum hack look so

play09:34

flipping good Grillo and Lou Gray which

play09:37

are the creators of this rom hack first

play09:39

made this game in Spanish

play09:42

and I'm so glad this game was translated

play09:44

to English because otherwise I probably

play09:47

never even would have discovered it they

play09:49

have also made Pokemon Fusion 1 and 2

play09:51

which I have yet to play but I have

play09:53

heard that this is by far the best one

play09:56

and even though the main game does

play09:57

remain the same which is a little bit

play09:59

disappointing the amount and quality

play10:02

that they put in the designs of their

play10:04

new forms is just astonishing for me to

play10:07

look at they even gave their Fusion

play10:09

Pokemon over world's price which is

play10:11

something I've never seen before and I

play10:13

didn't even know that was possible and

play10:15

all the fusions do also have their own

play10:17

lore and descriptions in the Pokedex so

play10:20

you can read about him if you want to I

play10:23

mean look at Ray Tina and tell me this

play10:25

game isn't awesome

play10:28

let's get right into number four now

play10:30

which is going to be storm silver

play10:31

created by drayano despite being quite

play10:35

an old rom hack already it is a catch em

play10:38

all one you can get every Pokemon up

play10:40

until Generation 4 in this game but that

play10:43

is not why I love it a couple of months

play10:46

ago I did a 100 hour video on this game

play10:48

and completed everything the main things

play10:50

I took away from this game is that the

play10:52

difficulty is pretty damn good it's once

play10:55

again not too hard to the point where

play10:57

they get frustrated but it's also not

play10:59

too easy you still have to like kind of

play11:01

build a team or really over level your

play11:03

Pokemon if you want to get through it

play11:04

since most trainers teams have been

play11:06

updated and that's just always a plus

play11:09

point but where this game really thrives

play11:11

for me personally is the scripted events

play11:14

that they added in for example you can

play11:16

now capture Giratina to yoga Palkia and

play11:19

every other legendary and mythical that

play11:21

you may want with most of them having

play11:22

their very own event that's just been

play11:24

really well thought true for example if

play11:27

you want to capture our see is you have

play11:29

to get every single plate in the game

play11:31

and also capture all other Pokemon

play11:33

before you can encounter it and the

play11:35

place where you encounter it is the

play11:36

xinjia ruins which is something that

play11:38

isn't used in the main hard golden Soul

play11:40

Silver and he's now also working on a

play11:42

new version of the game which will

play11:44

apparently be even better so I can't

play11:46

wait until that one comes out too if you

play11:49

want to play the best version of

play11:51

HeartGold and soul silver on the DS this

play11:53

will be your go-to game

play11:56

let's move on to number three which is

play11:59

also made by Dre Yano that has been

play12:01

updated recently with the help of Apex

play12:04

cubed and it's called Pokemon Blaze

play12:06

Black 2 Redux I personally have never

play12:09

played the regular Blaze Black 2 so I

play12:12

can't judge that game but this really

play12:15

set the standard for Generation 5 ROM

play12:17

hacks in my opinion just like Pokemon

play12:19

storm silver the game has so many

play12:22

quality of life changes the game also

play12:25

has new game modes easy Challenge and

play12:27

black City every Pokemon is once again

play12:30

available and once again just like in

play12:32

storm silver has their very own event

play12:35

which is really cool to see and the

play12:37

triple and rotation battles that have

play12:38

been added in Pokemon Black and White

play12:40

are also used more frequently in this

play12:43

game so there's a lot more fun in

play12:45

battling too shiny odds have also been

play12:47

increased quite a bit but the real thing

play12:49

that made me pick this game in front of

play12:53

Pokemon storm silver is its post game

play12:56

since I'm still in the process of making

play12:58

my Blaze Black to Redux video I'm not

play13:02

going to spoil too much about it but

play13:04

there is different universes involved

play13:06

and you just gotta play it for yourself

play13:08

to realize how good this game really is

play13:11

it is by far the best generation 5 game

play13:13

I have personally played and I feel like

play13:16

everybody needs a piece of this

play13:20

at number two we have Pokemon Unbound in

play13:24

the last couple of years this game has

play13:26

taken the ROM hacking World by storm it

play13:28

has its very own fleshed out region

play13:31

called the Boris region with a rich

play13:33

history and it even has a great War

play13:36

involved with the secret weapon of

play13:39

generation 6. and while that war is over

play13:42

now there is a new evil team called the

play13:45

Shadows who is trying to relocate this

play13:47

secret weapon to do experiments with it

play13:50

and that's not something that the

play13:52

protagonist can just ignore it is one of

play13:55

the best stories in romhack history and

play13:57

Skelly and his team did an amazing job

play14:00

creating this wonderful piece of art

play14:02

there is so many twists and turns in

play14:05

this story so many unique and cool

play14:08

locations with an art style that's top

play14:10

of the mill and they have done so well

play14:13

to create the perfect package for a new

play14:16

Pokemon game like game free could take

play14:18

this and probably just release sit as a

play14:21

real game and people would love it they

play14:23

push the engine of Pokemon Fire Red to

play14:26

its limit by adding in so many quality

play14:29

of life features an amazing new

play14:32

soundtrack that could rival the ones of

play14:35

Game Freak themselves I sometimes even

play14:37

listen to it in my free time because

play14:39

it's just that catchy

play14:46

[Music]

play14:51

[Music]

play14:57

let's talk a bit about the quality of

play15:00

life changes it has basically all of the

play15:02

things that radical red has a deck snap

play15:05

raidens Dynamax Mega Evolution an auto

play15:09

run button unlimited backspace new hm

play15:11

system difficulty modes unique mission

play15:15

system with over 80 missions you could

play15:19

play this game for over a hundred hours

play15:21

and not even be half done with it which

play15:24

is what I did you can also customize

play15:26

your own character which makes the game

play15:27

feel even more unique just like in Redux

play15:30

and storm silver almost every legendary

play15:33

has its very own unique way of capturing

play15:35

it and every Pokemon is available they

play15:37

even added in custom puzzles which was

play15:40

really cool to see and the post game can

play15:42

get you hooked in for hours and hours

play15:44

upon end the game is also not fully

play15:46

finished it and we're still waiting on

play15:48

updates for it so even more content is

play15:51

on the way and many others are also

play15:53

waiting to see what they bring next so

play15:56

if you want a new and fresh look at

play15:59

Pokemon I highly recommend checking out

play16:01

Unbound

play16:03

now we have come to my favorite rom hack

play16:07

of all time Team Rocket Edition as a kid

play16:11

I've always dreamed of being able to

play16:14

work for the evil team and steal other

play16:16

people's Pokemon I know it sounds really

play16:18

evil but it's just something that has

play16:20

always intrigued to me and Team Rocket

play16:22

Edition just does it perfectly you are

play16:25

put into the organization as a measly

play16:28

grunt basically having nothing to back

play16:30

you up as most of your Pokemon are

play16:32

totally useless but you can work your

play16:34

way up in the Team Rocket chain becoming

play16:36

an admin an executive and eventually

play16:38

even the Boss by stealing Pokemon across

play16:41

the region and crafting a perfect team

play16:43

and you also follow the story of red who

play16:45

is trying to take down the entirety of

play16:48

Team Rocket and since normally he always

play16:50

wins you're now going to have the

play16:52

opportunity to make the good guy lose or

play16:55

maybe red isn't even a good guy maybe he

play16:58

isn't even a real person the game makes

play17:00

you question so many things because

play17:02

there is so much lore and backstory

play17:05

about Oak Red Team Rocket Giovanni Gym

play17:10

Leaders I have never had a story pull me

play17:13

in so much as in Team Rocket Edition

play17:16

even though it's been two years since I

play17:18

played the game I still think about it

play17:21

from time to time thinking damn this

play17:23

game was so good and it might not offer

play17:25

the replayability and features that

play17:27

Unbound and radical red give you but the

play17:31

story is just so good that it just

play17:33

sticks with you and I'm really hoping

play17:36

that they will bring out a Team Rocket

play17:38

Edition for Johto as well but nothing

play17:40

has been confirmed yet a cool example of

play17:42

this game is that Missingno at the end

play17:44

of the game is trying to destroy

play17:46

everything but you the quote-unquote bad

play17:49

guy manages to capture it and save the

play17:52

entire world this game also happens to

play17:55

reference the great Pokemon war that

play17:58

Lieutenant Serge used to fight him and

play18:00

is a big backbone to the entire

play18:02

storytelling of this game the game also

play18:04

reveals so many things that normally

play18:07

when you play as red you can't see and

play18:09

besides that there is also a morality

play18:11

system and side quests that you can

play18:13

complete because a ton of NPCs will

play18:15

request your help for independent

play18:17

criminal missions which can then Grant

play18:19

you bonus perks or items and sometimes

play18:22

you'll even be able to double cross some

play18:24

of these NPCs which might lead to bad

play18:27

consequences in the future I could talk

play18:29

hours and hours about how much I love

play18:32

this game but I don't want to spoil too

play18:34

much so if you want to know more about

play18:36

Team Rocket Edition I highly recommend

play18:38

checking it out for yourself or maybe

play18:40

watching my entire video explaining

play18:43

everything that happens on it colonel

play18:45

Saul did an amazing job creating my

play18:47

favorite rom hack of all time and I

play18:49

highly doubt anything would be able to

play18:51

top it unless he's going to make that

play18:53

long-awaited Sequel and make it even

play18:55

better so these were my top 10 favorite

play18:58

ROM hacks of all time let me know what

play19:00

you thought of the list and what you

play19:01

would change about it yourself and do

play19:03

give keep in mind that I've obviously

play19:05

not played every rom hack Under the Sun

play19:07

so there might be some better ones out

play19:09

there so definitely let me know in the

play19:11

comments down below which ones I should

play19:12

play with all of that out of the way I

play19:14
