>>48654094He's lying. FireRed English ROM is by far the most cracked GBA ROM base out there, and as a proof in this very thread someone name dropped the one hackrom that is just a feature exhibition and it is a FireRed thing.
That said, HeartGold and Platinum are getting there. Last year saw an explosion of creativeness and the DS scene advanced an equivalent of 10 years worth of the GBA scene: you got the AIO app to edit the 3D maps and insert your custom assets, you can manipulate the camera in any fashion you want, expanded Pokedex is being worked on, mega evolution has already been implemented and polished, just this week someone figured out you can added more than 3000 new unique NPC without having to replace old ones. New moves can be made, new abilities can be made, etc etc
And now recently with the reveal that BDSP are Unity games 3DS might be skipped completely over to the new easier to mod hotness, if it was ever getting worked on.
