Fan Made Pokemon Games

[Tsar CUBE]

Okay just as the box says, there are a lot of fan made pokemon or pokemon style games out there so why not share and discuss them here?

Here is one I found just today... in fact I found it on Deviant Art so I will just link the DA page that has it

Can we still put the Touhou ones in the Touhou forum?

[Rezeed]

I believe there already is a thread for touhou ones present: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=845

[Tsar CUBE]

Yeah this one is mostly for links anyway.

Yeah that's the one I was referring to.

Seems a full remake of Crystal is being made.

It's only a patch too, you need your own copy of Fire Red to play. Full release isn't ready yet though, it's still in BETA.

I went on a hack fest last night and found quite a few Pokemon hacks. CoolROMS is a good place to find them. Been playing Dark Rising and it's hard as hell. Good story but hard as hell.

Are we talking about fangames or rom hacks? Because those are two completely different things...

If it comes to fangames... The first it comes to my mind is Pokémon Uranium (It's a fangame so I'm not breaking any rule by posting it). It's a fangame that is still worked on (the last demo had up to the fifth or sixth gym if my memory recalls correctly), centered in a new region (Tandor) and the main plot focus on something really unusual for pokémon standards: Radioctivity.
The game plot starts after a power plant accident (that happened 10 years before the game start and involves directly with the main character) and it even has radioactive pokémon on it (with their coloration changed to black and neon green to prove it), thus introducing the Nuclear type.
Other than that it has pretty fakemon on it, including evolutions for already existing pokémon (like Primeape and Dunsparce) and the starters are pretty cool looking and great typewise: Orchynx (Grass/Steel), Raptorch (Fire/Ground) and (Eletux) (Water/Electric) (they only have two forms unlike any official starter, but the author plans on giving them Mega Evolutions... Mega Metalynx looks promising).

It's worth checking it out... Really, do it for Orchynx.
_______________________________

As for romhacks, well... other than the already mentioned Liquid Crystal (that did a pretty great job at remaking Gen II while keeping the adorable Crystal at playable... I curse Game Freak for replacing good old Crys with the annoying and plain looking Lyra), it comes to mind the name of Drayano.

Drayano is a guy that managed to fit all pokémon in one game, changed the evolution methods in order to make them obtainable in game, retyped some pokémon (Like Farfetch'd (Fighting/Flying) or Psyduck (Water/Psychic)) while tweaking the movesets and stats of (almost) every pokémon to balance the game (thus making useful pokémon like Flareon or believe it or not...Delibird)... All of this while raising the difficulty curve a whole lotl.

He has done that for Gen III (Fire Red Omega), Gen IV (Sacred Gold and Storm Silver) and Gen V (Volt White/Blaze Black and Volt White 2/Blaze Black 2).

And there's what I like what to call the "Constellation Series".

It's a series of Japanese (sadly) rom hacks made by the same author with a new region, LOTS of Fakémon, evolutions for existing Pokémon (such as Mawile, Girafarig, Sableye, Relicanth, Absol, Farfetch'd, Arbok, Weezing, Tentacruel...), an entirely original plot (sadly it's in Japanese) and a custom OST made by scratch for this games.

It starts with Altair and Sirius that seem to be based after Ruby, then it would come Vega (the most known of them all, check it on Youtube) which it's either a "third" version of Altair and Sirius (a la Crystal, Platinum or Emerald) or a sequel... And finally Procyon and Deneb that are sequels of Vega (and seem to be still in the making or so I've heard/read).

If you can, try Vega... It's hard as hell and only in Japanese (it has a translation patch for the move names and items though) but it's worth checking.

[Feathers]

Seems vague. http://romhack.wikia.com/wiki/Legality_of_ROM_hacking You need to own the original game in order to use a ROM hack then? Hmm. No different than regular ROMs then.

(That one site had a malware warning for me when I checked it though)

[Kaijin]

If you say it for my link... Well... It's a Tumblr page, I pretty much doubt that Tumblr has malware of any kind behind.
(If it's for CoolRoms... it's pretty likely, pretty much every emulation site has some kind of malware on it...)

(Not advertising the place, just thought I'd share a good location for Pokemon fan games)
A good place to get pokemon fan games is the Pokecommunity Forums. They range rom hacks to games built from the ground up. They even have tutorials on making your own.

I am pretty certain fangames like flora sky, Liquid Crystal, and even uranium can be found there. They are in patch port mind you, but if you have the program, Lunar IPS, you should be fine with 95% of the hacks since the patches are compatible with that program.

If I can recommend a rom hack aside from Moemon Eternal and Moemon Forever, I would have to recommend Pokemon Light Platinum.

[Jinouga87]

I'm not a fan of how Light Platinum starts out. I had to restart after playing blind at first due to rage. Dark Rising is a good hack that has ups the difficulty without pissing off the player. Shining Opal is also schools one but be prepared to always one certain Pokemon in your party.

[Rezeed]

Apparently, someone did something call Mariomon, where the entire extended mario series cast along with DK and Diddy Kong being catchable as pokemon.

Keep in mind that the only real way to get it based on experience is to check the video directly on youtube and see the description since has a download link that's most updated out of the other Link(that and the other links refused to work for me.).

Essentially, aside from that, they made it so the TM tutors (well most of them) are gone, HM05 FLASH is useless, and the stats are more balanced.
