    I bet most of the people around here never heard about it, but a hack worth mentioning is Midnight Hack (by Tauwasser and his team), which is in my opinion the most impressive pokemon hack.

    • I am very surprised only two people mentioned Zel's Masterpiece Shiny Gold. I always wondered if there would ever be a possible way to finnish it. and even though there not rom hacks there are a few games in the showcase that sounded pretty impressive before they were canned

    Well you can say that Shiny Gold never was and will be forgotten =)
    Maybe abandoned but surely not forgotten =)
    And we can always hope that Zel might finish it =)

    Sienna was the best. Manipulation, I kind of hate you a little for not finishing it. lol. Im still curious about all of the cool things you were going to add, like day/night and all of your other secrets... :(

    Toxic Purple was really good too.

    Pokemon White was a revelation to mapping. i my opinion no other hack presented such beautifully landscaped maps like PKMN white did. So its a shame that it was never finished

    As for shiny gold its understandable that it stopped since SG HS came out. Zel musted of been crushed when he heard the news. Nevertheless the hacking community will always honor his valiant effort.

    Sienna nvr played it but I heard it was AWESOME. so shame Manipulation nvr finished it I wonder why?

    And its funny no one has ever attempted a hack of all regions. I mean lets be honest all of us had thought about this one time or another. Particularly when we started rom hacking. I know its a complicated idea but not even an effort? hmm....

    Toxic Purple was going to be so awesome! Me and my friend were so happy to be able to work as TR. Naranja also seemed to be like awesome idea. I really loved it. But the best one was Shiny Gold. My friend still likes to play it from time to time. :/

    Naranja was the first hack I played...and I was very sad when I discovered that the beta was over and it had been discontinued by its creator :'(

    Well I'm kind of a noob so I wasn't around for a lot of the older hacks and never went to play them because I'd be highly depressed when I hit a wall and find the game is over. (Except I played some Toxic Purple and couldn't bring myself to keep going and find it over)
    However I have seen a lot of potential fall through the cracks where they get a strong start and never get continued I can't even remember all of the ones this has been with and some don't even bring out betas.
    I'm not going to list any hoping they will continue out of no where
