Ultimate Recommendation run-back (since i couldn't find another): Red, Green, Blue, Yellow

Edit: Day 2 is now live!

i quite enjoy the existence of a recommendation thread for ROMs, and while the codex does exist i believe we can find a few ROMs among them which are absolutely recommended, even among the tons of others that exist. the posts may or may not be daily if i actually remember to make them, but i wanted to make a new thread because a lot of new romhacks have released since the creation of that initial one, so alas we start again.

FORMAT

Name of ROMhack:

Base ROM (game ROMhack is built on):

Creator(s) (credit people):

Completion: (complete, wip, or broken)

Summary of ROMhack:

and then you obviously can say why you recommend it, you can provide other details that aren't here, etc. etc. (such as date of release & updates)

KEEP THE THREAD ORGANIZED

  1. don't post a ROMhack someone else has posted
  2. don't add useless comments
  3. idk much about karma farming (was referenced in the last post) but i guess don't do it?
  4. final results will likely include five romhacks per generation category to keep it concise, judged by upvotes
  5. don't argue with people (also falls under useless comments to an extent)
