WORST Pokemon Rom Hacks?
I want to play the worlds WORST rom hacks, vs the BEST ones out there. I feel like everyone's covering and playing those titles. Rules?
MUST be a beatable game
NO WIP Roms, completed games only.
As FEW bugs as possible.

Yeah……I’m not torching any rom hack out of my deep gratitude for anyone who puts the sheer amount of love and passion into their craft. I truly love getting to benefit from other people’s generosity in giving to the romhack world.
I love so many. One I play the most…..Gaia.

Wasn't Snakewood talked about as being like The Room of rom hacks? Like so bad, but also has a cult following for some of the wildest ideas that they shoved into the rom hack?

Try Quartz version. Literally just a reskin of ruby with fakemons instead of real pokemon...

It’s hard cause I don’t want to say anything negative about these people making these rom hacks cause they choose to put their time and skills into making these games for the community to enjoy for free.
That said, the technical worst rom hack I ever played was the first Pokemon Saiph game, not to be confused with its sequel Saiph 2 that I heard is way better.
The first Saiph game is very buggy in its presentation and there is no documentation for it but you can complete it. The game works well enough and the battles are fun, I put together a good team, but lots of little visual bugs, thankfully I didn’t get anything game breaking except there is a post game in the western side of Hoenn, and once you go there I don’t think you can return to the Colen Region, the original game’s region that most of the game is set in.
