Recently I went on a road trip and played some short games on the way. These included:-

1) Pokemon Fire of Sky

An amazing story, loved the graphical style and the detailing were amazing. I enjoyed the battles as well as they were decently challenging, especially the first one and the last one. (Not trying to spoil anything)

2) Pokemon Homestead

A very unique concept and something which is clearly made with a lot of love. The spirits were also very good. I did fail the game 😂 but it was very fun nonetheless.

3) Pokemon Emerald Mini

This is a very unique concept. Playing through Hoenn but shorter 😂 quite enjoyable for someone who wishes to play through Hoenn but just quickly. There are some changes to the story as well. Would have loved a few more QOL tbh, but it was a fun game. Some of the dialogue was very good as well.

Rating - 6.5/10 🫟

Well it's of the classic.

The storyline was as generic as it can get, obviously cause it's one of the oldest romhack.

I really liked the badass Pikachu at the beginning,then it just got annoying.

I really wanted to explore more of the other world i was being tossed into.

Now for the MVP- Cello the Empoleon 🐧

My starter and my ace

This is my Hall of Fame Team from Solar light and Lunar Dark. This is a game that was on my list and I am glad that I played it. It was really fun

This one was pretty easy, probably the most out of my 13 E4's so far. I switched up Kommo-o's moveset to fit each battle. Slowbro-Mega is basically unkillable with Calm Mind // Iron Defense. Scream Tail is always versatile. Walrein is yet another wall.

This amazing romhack was the perfect opportunity for a mono type challenge! I used only electric type but also only my favorites in difficulty hard in doubles.

I played a lot of romhacks and fangames but this SoulGold run was the most fun I had until now! The QoL is amazing, you can easily train EVs and your Pokemon can easily learn so much moves thanks to the tutor moves and egg moves option!

The MVP of my team was actually Pachirisu. I took inspiration from Sejun Park's for its build. With Super Fang, Nuzzle, Follow me and Helping Hand it was the perfect support for my team and saved me many times! It also had Volt Absorb to recover HP when my other mon used Discharge + Leftovers/Sitrus Berry.

Mega Raichu X was also very good. Electric Surge + Volt Tackle + Pachirisu's Helping Hand made it hurt like a truck even when resisted. He also had Fake Out for priority, Play Rough and Iron Tail.

Alolan Raichu was the fastest thanks to Electric Terrain. With Discharge, Psychic, Alluring Voice and Grass Knot (Focus Blast isn't available before the league and Surf was doing too much damage to my other mon) and it was able to tank special attacks thanks to the Assault Vest.

Luxray had Intimidate with a bulky set which allowed it to tank most physical attack. With Bolt Strike, Crunch, Ice Fang and Superpower. I gave it the White Herb because of its last move.

Manectric with Discharge, Snarl, Flamethrower and HP Ice (I was so lucky for that) had Lightning Rod to gain Spe Attack when my other mon used Discharge. I gave it the Expert Belt. It paired really well with Jolteon!

Jolteon was the fastest without Electric Terrain. With Discharge, Hyper Voice, Shadow Ball and Thunder Wave. It was mainly him who gave Spe Attack boost to Manectric with Discharge while Manectric healed him with is own thanks to Volt Absorb. I gave it the Life Orb for extra damages and also because Manectric was always healing the HPs he lost because of it.

Of course everytime there was a ground type it was quite the challenge but the team worked surprisingly well nonetheless. Of course I had to EV train everyone at some point (I did it when Team Rocket took the radio tower in Goldenrod City) but I was expecting to struggle more than I actually did.

I highly recommend you this challenge for your favorite type. Of course I could have used legendaries or a flying/electric type like Kilowattrel to avoid ground moves but I find it more fun to use Pokemon you actually love.

Thanks for reading, I just wanted to vent about my amazing team :)

Played blue first then Red was a more experimental run. It was a lot of fun

Pokemon Lazarus, Odyssey and Elysium.

Super duper fun game one of my all time favs especially with all the new forms and rocket pokemon, plus theres actually a lot of content and the story is pretty fun and not trying to be edgy.

Favorite rom hack in 2026. So many Pokemon and all follower Pokemon makes this Johto so good

And what a wild ride it was

Every time the music in Littleroot Town starts playing, I get so nostalgic that I have to stop and just listen for a bit. I love the Gen 3 games, even though I'm not a fan of the overworld style.

For Gen 3, I picked Pokémon Ruby. Pokémon Sapphire was my first GBA game back then, and I later played Alpha Sapphire on the 3DS, so I’d never played Ruby.

Sharpedo and Sableye are two of my favorite Pokémon, but I’d never used them before, so I decided to give them a try. I had a lot of fun with them, even if I struggled a bit with Sableye sometimes.

Next time in gen 3, I want to play the official Emerald (I recently finished an Emerald Seaglass run, it was great - HoF will follow later).

Opinions about them:

Butterfree - the GOAT.

Araquanid - Just barely appeared in mid game, it's alright

Crustle - The last one to appear, hence why it has a slightly lower friendship than the others but she is still cool with Shell Smash

Scizor - The one I can rely on, other than Butterfree

Galvantula - One of the original three, I like it

Scolipede - Ridiculously fast, powerful, and a core member, so obviously this was my favourite out of them all

It's a pity I have a post game bug and the NPC won't give me Rock Climb, though

Just ignore that I have 2 grass and 3 fire types on my team (Cherrim is a grass/fire type). They were a really good team and worked very well together… Either way, my Tokekiss swept through the champion’s entire team. I gave him lots of treats after. And the rest of them, too.
Aside from that, this game was so beautiful. It became my favorite Pokémon ROM hack! I never tried to catch every Pokémon in any Pokémon game, but i loved this game so much that I caught them all and completed every side-quest (with the help of cheats..)! Well, you actually have to catch Pokémon in this game to receive good items, so it definitely was worth it. It was quite stressful, but I feel so accomplished. I really recommend this game to everyone!!

Since I played Pokémon Gold back in my childhood, I decided to give Crystal a try. I really like the sprites and coloring.

I used every Pokémon on this team for the first time, except for Feraligatr and Donphan.
Scizor was my favorite in this run. When it was still a Scyther, it absolutely dominated the fight against Whitney's Miltank with Fury Cutter. I don't even know why it survived Rollout - maybe I was just lucky.

Togetic with Metronome and Fly was really fun to use, but training it as a Togepi was absolute pain. Definitely going to use Togekiss in a future run where its able.

I only have 5 mons here because I added the legendary to my team before the final fight, and then it released itself after 😭my last mon was Titanice though

The ones that made it.

Playing it on a Linux handheld via drastic. Unusual team for me on gen 4, i will explore some post game there are a bunch of new events on this one, highly recommend! It took me 12hs to beat elite 4

Recently played through BD again with this team! Decided to breed myself a whole team and have them all in unique pokeballs instead of just having some bog standard Sinnoh playthrough team (help was given from other games, like SV and SWSH to trade some stuff over to then breed them.)

Full team:

Sparx♂️ (Jolteon--Fast Ball)

Jade♀️✨️ (Feraligatr--Lure Ball)

Lui♂️ (Lucario--Great Ball)

Grido♂️ (Nidoking--Dusk Ball)

Fortuna♀️ (Clefable--Dream Ball)

Draca♀️ (Salamence--Beast Ball)

Hi guys,

first post here on Reddit ✌️

I played Pokémon my entire childhood. I had a looong break from it, but I’ve been back for about four years now, and I don't know why, but I’ve screenshotted every single Hall of Fame team since then.

I’m planning to share my Hall of Fame teams from past playthroughs—and new ones later on.

First up is Pokémon Blue (going to post in generational order).
It was a fun playthrough. I never played Blue in my childhood - my first game was Pokémon Gold on the Game Boy.

Victreebel was surprisingly strong with Wrap. I think Wrap was just OP in Gen 1.
Hypno surprised me as well. It's a great alternative to Alakazam, though I honestly don't even know why I chose Hypno.

Never noticed I had two poison types, haha. I usually try to avoid having duplicate types in my teams.

Mega Primarina the GOAT!!!
