>>43201164>romhacksanother way of adding fresh content to a stagnant franchise. some focus a lot on mechanics like the special/physical split being added to older games, like skeetendo inc christmas hack. or adding difficulty and/or potential to complete the dex, examples include expert emerald or any of drayano's hacks.
Other hacks turn existing games on their head to completely retool them, making a new game entirely. examples include pokemon clover, liquid crystal, crystal dust, light platinum, shiny gold x, coral, brown, gaia, flora sky, glazed, and many others. unfortunately nintendo likes to take these down because they provide direct competition with their officially released games (which might be an argument in bad faith, but whatever)
>arteither visual art like pic related or music like Mewmore or GlitchXCity. people are inspired by the games to make their own fakemon too, even implementing them in hacks like dark rising or again clover
>comfinessgoes hand in hand often with nostalgia. there's nothing quite like walking around sinnoh at night, or around certain areas of crystal/hgss
anyway i hope that gives some perspective on things OP. enjoy this gif of ampharos
