>>52185308Drayano hacks are my bread and butter. Renegade Platinum, Rising Ruby & Sinking Sapphire, and Blaze Black 2 & Volt White 2 are my top 3 Pokémon games of all time. BB1 & VW1 are great in terms of challenge, but I feel like making a full dex hack of B1W1 goes against the design philosophy of those games. I'm working on a version of BB1/VW1 that keeps the level curve, but uses Unova Pokémon only. Sacred Gold & Storm Silver aren't quite as polished, but he's working on a new version that will bring it to the same quality level as Renegade Platinum.
As far as non-Drayano hacks go, I really enjoy Rising Sun & Waning Moon, plus their Ultra counterparts Setting Sun & Waxing Moon. There's also Twitch Plays Pokémon's special Anniversary editions of Red and Crystal, and the soft-Nuzlocke style TriHard Emerald. I kinda wish XG didn't change so many of the original Shadow Pokémon, but other than that it's great.
For more elaborate hacks, I gotta recommend Brown and Prism. In my opinion, they're the golden standard for custom Pokémon romhacks. And for non-RPG games, Pokémon Pinball Generations pretty much doubles the amount of content in the game.
