Clover is one of those games you enjoy but don't tell anybody. I love the culture aspect of Clover, even if the creators actively hate me for being trans.

To be fair about Vietnamese Crystal, I wouldn’t call it a rom hack at all, as it’s just vanilla Crystal, but translated from Japanese, to Vietnamese, to English, which is why the translation is hilariously bad.

I actually had a physical copy of Chaos Black before I ever used the internet. It was soft locked at Mt. Moon lol

Psychic adventures is so unbelievably on-the-nose that as soon as you mentioned Drowzee, I knew exactly where it was going.

Another dishonourable mention for me would be the Cloud White series. They are the definition of quantity over quality. The first one is Firered but it continues after you beat Sevii Islands for three more regions. It isn't long before you reach level 100, and there's still a lot of maps after that. Maps that are very glitchy and low effort. Trainers will frequently rebattle you right after beating them because they haven't any flags set. And there's two more games that cover even more regions, with the quality standard being equally low. It's the child dream of a game that has every region and it shows why such a prospect was unrealistic since the beginning.

Ok but hot take, the "are you 18?" part of the Hypno rom it's the part that should get the least criticism, it's not like the actual 18+ pages do it better

no mention of pokemon quartz?<br><br>the pokemon are just reskins, the map is a mess and the creator self inserted himself as the professor and the game won't shut up about him

Thank you so much for calling out Astral Red! Dude was out of pocket for sure. Calling out the creators you are stealing from for not delivering is peak entitlement.

What I find funny is, because Dark Rising is so old it's often on those AI generated lists of top Romhacks of all time.
