Pokémon Grand Colosseum - Original Rui Restored
This is a simple patch to modify the brilliant Pokémon Grand Colosseum made by Kya.
While Grand Colosseum is an amazing romhack, if I had to make one complaint it would be my personal dislike of Rui's redesign. I've come across many others who also prefer the original design. So I have taken the liberty of restoring her design to the original sprite used in the Japanese versions of the game (see images attached). This sprite was later slightly censored for the US release. (Refer to this video for a comparison)
Essentially this patch fulfils a similar function to the “Localized Title” patch from Pokemon Colosseum Restoration, but for Grand Colosseum instead! It is built for the most recent release v3.1 of Grand Colosseum. There are three versions of the patch corresponding to the version of Grand Colosseum you used (Kanto, Johto or Hoenn).
How to patch:
1. Apply the Grand Colosseum patch of your choice to a clean Pokemon Colosseum ISO, following the instructions given by the creator. (Recommend using v1.0.0.0 of NUPS patcher which is included in the zip file, as other patchers are known to cause issues)
2. Download the corresponding version of this patch and unzip it. Apply it to the patched ISO produced in step 1 using the same NUPS patcher.
3. Done! To confirm if it is working, check if Rui's design on the title screen matches the images attached above.
(If for some reason the patcher shows an error (which should not happen), set "If file is invalid" to "Ignore" in NUPS patcher before patching.)
Other notes:
This patch is compatible with the Nuzlocke Patches made by Kya for Grand Colosseum.
For all info and documentation regarding Grand Colosseum, please refer to the Project Pokemon page for that hack linked above. This patch does not change anything apart from Rui's design.
All credits for the original romhack go to Kya. My contribution is quite insignificant. But hopefully this is useful to someone!

Pokemon Crimson Red
By Noodle_00
Pokemon Crimson Red is a ROM hack that enhances the base FireRed Experience.
What I wanted to do with this ROM hack is providing a difficult experience while providing the player a bunch of ways to handle each fight. Before every battle the player has multiple Pokemon, Items and Mega Evolutions to provide each fight as a puzzle to solve, but unlike a puzzle, these battles can be solved in multiple different ways. Crimson Red is meant for everyone to play, and I am aware that not every player wants to play the same. So I've made some rulesets for each player type that will be mentioned later.
*If you are playing this game please Read The Oak Cutscene*
Some of the things this game has:
- Much Harder Trainer Battles
- Gen 8 Mons / Mechanics
- Enemy items / Better movesets / Switch in AI
- Better AI
- most Pokemon Catchable
- All held Items can be bought
- City Vendors
- 3 Rivals
- Major Map changes
- 400+ Hidden Items / Pokeball items
- Optional Boss Battles that give items / Pokemon
- Legendary Pokemon
- Sevii Islands
- Post Game battles (Sevii Islands not post game but mandatory)
- Lore?
-QoL Changes
- Rare Candies for Grinding
- And MORE!
What makes this game different to some other FireRed ROM hacks like Radical Red?
1. Better Overworld exploration
Every early game route and some of the other routes are completely changed With new NPCs, Items and Hidden items.
Hidden Items are scattered all over the map underneath every single rock in the game. These Hidden Items can be hiding a bunch of battle Items, Berries, PokeBalls and more niche items such as evolution items.
This is Route 1
There are 3 Rocks in this first map that have the Hidden Items as mentioned they contain:
1 Protect Pads
10 Elixir
1 Ultra Ball
It also has a Mach Bike Hidden in a Pokeball in the Grass.
There is an NPC tutor that teaches Vaccum Wave.
Each Route is made to prioritise exploration, there are hundreds of these Rocks and Items all throughout the game.
Not every Route is like this but this can give you a rough understanding of how the
routes of the game could look.
There are also 3 Completely New Routes and 4 Remixed Optional Routes
2. Better Trainers and Boss battles
Crimson Red Is not supposed to be a "Impossible hack" (Ek, Run n Bun) It's meant to be a Difficulty Hack, Improving the Trainers to be much harder than the base game but not being so hard to the point of frustration.
This is the 1st Lt. Surge Battle.
Every Leader Has:
6 Pokemon
Full Held Items
Diverse movesets
Advanced AI
A sick Song
etc.
Sometimes though Gym Leaders do have a Pokemon that doesn't fit their type.
The biggest focus in this game is fairness (mainly in the early game),
You get a bunch of Held items for countering the Enemy Pokemon of Optional Trainers and Boss battles.
You get most of the Held Items that the Enemy Gym Leaders have so that you can use their own strategies
against them.
The Difficulty Spike does go quite up the further you go through the game reaching it's peak at the 3rd May Battle and Elite Four
There Is Also a Custom Nuzlocke Variant That is talked about a bit further down.
Plenty of Trainers also have creative battles and are not just a one button sweep like in the base game.
3. Quality Of Life
You get a bunch of Rare Candies before fighting the first trainer to prevent mindless grinding however you can still play candy-less
You can see which Pokemon can learn a selected TM like in screenshots shown below.
Mega Evolution and Z moves

"This game looks like Radical Red but worse"
I purposely didn't play or watch any playthroughs of Radical Red to prevent this game being too similar. I did this to prevent accidental copying and to make sure that it's an original experience different from Radical Red or any other ROM hack.
Nuzlocke+ Variant
-HC Nuzlocke Rules
- No TMs
-No Megas
-No Z-Moves
The Hardcore+ Nuzlocke Variant
- HC nuzlocke rules
- Pokemon from overworld Pokeballs (such as Boss battle Pokemon) count as the route encounter
- No Legendaries / Mythicals
- Every Optional Boss is mandatory
- No Items from City Vendors
- Cerulean Cave
- No Z-Moves
- Wipe = Reset
- Might be Impossible due to Elite Four But if you want you can play with it

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon - Seven Symphonies (Demo / 1st Act OUT!)
By Canete16
Hello everyone! My name is Canete16. You may know me from my previous work on Special Episode 0: In A Dark Past, another PMD hackrom that you can check out here:
The project turned out to be a great success and many people were asking for a sequel to it. I was and I still am motivated enough to keep writing and creating stories, therefore,
after gathering enough resources and teaming up with my talented co-creator Assidion...
We decided to go for that much desired sequel, which will continue the events of both SE0 and Explorers' late postgame!
This time, the plot will unfold throughout the legendary Destiny Tower, which will have a drastically different nature to the one we already knew in several PMD titles.
New features:
- Randomized dungeon disposition & tilesets for a much more replayable experience
- Typing (starters/fairy-types) and balance changes (all included in the README .txt)
- New Hidden Stairs gimmick: The Divine Domain
- Test your luck at Gholdengo's Phantombola!
And much, much more to discover...

Thanks for reading this post! We dearly hope you found the project appealing ❤️

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon - Special Episode 0: In A Dark Past (Complete!)
By Canete16
Hello everyone! My name is Canete16, and I'm the creator of this Pokémon Mystery Dungeon which revolves around two of the most, if not THE most, memorable characters of the entire franchise: Grovyle and Dusknoir from Explorers of the Sky.
In this hack, you will discover how they ended up having such opposite ideals and objectives starting off from a context where they both were allies and even close friends. The hack will then, of course, connect with the Explorers storyline at its very end, adding up for a great backstory for this two great characters in addition to their contribution to the plot and their beloved Special Episode, which concluded their story beautifully.

Wes in Red Coat!
By GameBeast92
Made a patch for you guys by popular demand where you can play as Wes in a red coat!
Lemme know whaddya guys think if there's room for improvement💥
Apply the patch file to a clean Pokemon Colosseum ROM using any UPS patcher. Newer versions of the NUPS patcher give an error saying the system ran out of memory. Find an older version of NUPS or use an online UPS patcher. This patch was made for the NTSC (US) version so it will not work on other versions. The ISO is quite large so it may take a few minutes.
Always patch onto a clean ISO, even if you are applying an update.

Play as Red in Pokémon Colosseum!
By GameBeast92
I want to start this post with a MASSIVE shout out to StarsMmd⭐ for helping me with all my persistent questions I had on the way. Without him this would've never been possible! Thanks for being an awesome help!
There seem to be no action replay codes to Play as... in pokémon colosseum so that's why I started making this patch for you guys.
It's not entirely perfect but it doesn't affect gameplay in general.
For example Red has no throwing pokéball animation like Wes does and Green(or Leaf) doesn't blink when she sees a shadow pokémon.
Also you'll still see the Wes and Rui bike riding animation when you move to other places on the world map.
I also changed the starter pokémon to pikachu and charmeleon 'cause yeah.. you know why.
👇Check the trailer to see it in full action!👇

Stadium (N64) Cries in Pokémon Colosseum
By FrankBlack22
The Nintendo 64's Pokémon Stadium series had a very unique take on the Pokémon's cries that made them sound a lot more distinct, and even somewhat real.
Sadly, those sounds never made it past Stadium 2, as Colosseum went back to the old 8-bit sound bits of the Game Boy, and after that, the main series took a different direction remastering those sounds.
I, like many, really miss those sounds and wished they'd at least stuck around for the 3d battle sims... Which is why I decided to take matters into my own hands !
With this romhack of Pokémon Colosseum (USA), I replaced every single "cries" sound effects, for every Pokémon from Gen 1 and Gen 2, with there counterparts from the N64 Pokémon Stadium series !
Watch this little trailer to see the result !

H Mystery Dungeon - Explorers of H
By Mudkid
A very dumb, scrappy hack of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon based off the Pokémon H hack for Pokémon Red made by IoIxD (and conquered by Saltydkdan), made with SkyTemple.
you can download the original Pokemon H hack on IoIxD's site here: https://www.ioi-xd.net/pokeh
Custom H Sprites made by Me, Mudkid
The original Pokemon H had very in-depth lore that i didn't realise it had until i completed this, and i don't know if i can really live up to that with anything, so for all intensive purposes this hack is non-canon and just a spinoff.
The purpose of the hack is that it replaces almost all of the Pokémon with the letter H, along with most of the digits in the font, making a Pokémon experience which is just like playing in a foreign language while also being half blind and hopefully not insane soon enough.
I'm not too experienced with SkyTemple as I began learning how everything works for the purpose of this hack, and the hack might be rough around the edges (namely certain cutscene specific sprites that show up in some situations still showing Pokémon other than H), but almost everywhere info is obscured.
many animations are weird too since of how the game handles animation slots (you'll see this in how most of the Pokémon use the sleep animation for a lot)
I put this together mainly because I thought the Pokémon H experience would be so much more stupid in Mystery Dungeon, with things like the heavy item usage, Belly, PP management and even random Pokémon like Drifblim spamming moves like Ominous Wind which you now wont ever see coming nor understand your first time
The files include the hack as a delta patch, with the delta patcher included for ease of access. the hack is suited for a US rom of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky.
if that doesnt work try something else maybe, that's all i really know.
If anyone wanted this to exist then here you go I guess, enjoy H.
Non H Pokémon
Bellsprout: Replaced with I (I believe the original hack did this) Dialga: Replaced with Luigi (Luigi is important in this series) Palkia: Replaced with Mario (Mario brother) Luigi and mario both use sprites from Super Mario World, i chose not sprites from a Mario RPG game on purpose
Extra Digits Changed to H for maximum obscurity
Numbers ( 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 ), Changed to H in the original hack, but also in the name of the Pokémon Porygon-2 Hyphens ( - ), In names Ho-oh, Porygon-2 and Porygon-Z Single Quotation Marks ( ' ), In name Farfetch'd Periods ( . ), In names Mr. Mime and Mime Jr. Gender Symbols ( ♂, ♀ ), In names Nidoran♂ and Nidoran♀
The only gender is now H, take from that what you will
don't go to my twitter or other external sites, I probably don't deserve it, follow someone else
https://twitter.com/mudkidstuff
Disclaimer: i bet people liked the Kecleon J when they saw it but i removed it, the thing is its not nearly as funny as what "I" was in the original hack for pokemon red, just because you cant catch I in that hack, doesnt make turning kecleon into J any funnier, because i felt rare in the original, as opposed to the J here being seen constantly after the 2nd dungeon. you could still challenge yourself to catch a Kecleon H if you really hate yourself, but the extra flair isnt needed.
besides, maybe youll get the shop owner in dungeons confused with regular enemies and doom yourself on accident, that'd be funny.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers Remixed!
By Gala1D
This is a ROM Hack of Explorers of Sky that adds an entirely new starter list, new mechanics, as well as tweaking the expressions and dialogue of the entire main story!
Hey, my name is Gala and I wanted to share a hack I created! This hack has been in the works since October of 2023, and is a very big feat of mine. The game’s plot itself is unchanged, but bits of everything else have been altered in minor or major ways. There’s a lot of stuff to cover, so I did my best to lay it all out below! If you don’t feel like reading a wall of text, that’s okay! Download it for yourself and enjoy! (This hack was made using the US version of Explorers of Sky!)
UPDATE: As of 2.0.X, I have gone on hiatus. I wish to dive back into other passions of mine for the time being. However, this project will return someday! Join the Discord to keep up to date on the latest news regarding EoS: Remixed! You can also check out my YouTube!
All the starters have been almost entirely replaced, and many of them have new typings and/or move pools. I recommend checking them all out to find which team comp works best for you!
I have added pretty much every SkyTemple community patch, which includes things such as Complete Team Control, Fairy Type, Choosing your Starter, and many more! It all comes together to make the experience fresh and exciting!
I've also provided the necessary applications to apply this patch, all you've gotta do is provide your own untampered ROM of Explorers of Sky.
I used assets provided by many people through places such as the PMD Sprite Repository, so check it out to give the artists some love!
As a reminder, this hack alters aspects of the game’s story. Some characters look different with new names or are different in their entirety. The entire game’s script has edited dialogue to remedy poor translations and poorly conveyed emotions. The portraits of characters are more expressive where possible, as well. However, that is the extent of my meddling. This isn’t EoS rebuilt from the ground up, it’s more so a modified experience that allows me to learn the ropes of making an EoS ROM Hack.
I've added many new moves to the game to go along with Fairy Type as well as the newer gen Pokémon added to the hack. As well as this, Protean replaces Color Change, Moxie replaces Pure Power, and Contrary replaces an unused ability slot.
Added Moves: Echoed Voice, Disarming Voice, Plasma Fist, Infernal Parade, Bitter Malice, Gigaton Hammer, Dazzling Gleam, Draining Kiss, Moonblast, Play Rough, Accelerock, First Impression
I have added new Pokémon to every main story dungeon. They now include all mainline starters from Gen 5-9, as well as the overhauled starter list. Some bosses have been altered as well, as well as potentially adding new boss fights that weren’t there before. Every dungeon will include level-scaling, where evolutions of mons within the base spawn pool will appear after certain points of the story. Best stay on your toes when returning to past dungeons!
Here's the list of Starters + Partners and a little bit about them!
Due to there being so many different options, I had to divide them in half based on the gender options in the quiz. Please refer to which group your starter choice is under! However, the partner list was unaffected by this decision, so any Pokémon with "(Starter/Partner)" is on the partner list regardless of which group it's in.

EMERALD EXPANDED
Since I did Fire Red Expanded, I have decided to do another version!
Emerald Expanded has the same thought behind it as Fire Red Expanded; more encounters, tougher gym leaders and Elite Four, and even different starters!
If you want to find out what's in this game, get the patch, and apply it to a regular Emerald file, and go ahead and take a wild journey in... EMERALD EXPANDED!

FIRE RED EXPANDED
FIRE RED EXPANDED is a mid-effort hack (patch) of Fire Red that adds/replaces encounters in routes, changes up some trainer fights and makes important battles more fun and overall tougher. Plus, Bulbasaur and Squirtle are instead replaced with Treecko and Totodile, and Charmander is still there; did that just so it's a different experience.
NOTE: When patching, make sure to use the Squirrels version of Fire Red to play the hack. I have no idea what would happen if you used a regular Fire Red ROM, the game might as well just break, i actually have no idea
Anyway uhh have Fun lol

PMD Expanded Sky - EoS New Gen Starters Mod
By xanam
This is a rom hack of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky that adds in all starter Pokémon from across gens 5-9!
On top of just adding the standard starters, Zorua, Axew and Rockruff have also been made starters, Eevee can evolve into Sylveon, and all partner pokémon across all rescue team and explorers games are available. New portraits and animations have been added to existing starters. Alolan Raichu, Alolan Marowak and Hisuian Typhlosion have also been added as branch evolutions for their respective base starters (as of v1.3.0). Implements the fairy type, updating all fairy pokemon and moves to have the correct typing. Milk Drink has been replaced with Disarming Voice, and the placeholder move data for Judgement has been replaced by Moonblast. Due to limitations to the amount of partners in the game, the mod has been split into two separate patches, MIDDAY version and MIDNIGHT version. Both have the same hero options, but MIDDAY includes all fire, grass and water starters for gens 1-7 as partners, whereas MIDNIGHT version includes all other new partners added by this mod, as well as all other partners from rescue team and explorers (pikachu, eevee, machop, riolu, etc). Check the document included in the zip file for specifics and use whichever patch aligns your dream team best. Applies several quality of life patches that come bundled with skytemple - such as confirming your hero choice after the quiz, exp share, move shortcuts, mass-appraisal of boxes and fairy gummies. A full list with credits can be found in the document included in the zip file. A copy of XDeltaUI has been included in the zip file for ease of patching. Instructions for patching the game can be found in the document included in the zip file. XDeltaUI might not work if you're on a mac - if not, I've been told this tool works instead: https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/746/ UniPatcher works well for Android devices. This is purely a starter modification hack - there are no story changes. Learnsets, IQ Groups and evolution info can be found in this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Spq9U_TCTqxT-NTovtm_c9Mzv1kTuTujd-BpPp0jj4U/edit?usp=sharing
Updates!
NEW 23/05/24: A lot of you reported issues with Grovyle's sprite not behaving as intended. This has now been fixed. A bug causing the game to occasionally freeze when advancing floors should also now be resolved.
NEW 10/03/24: Axew and Grookey added as starters, replacing Shinx and Riolu respectively. Shinx and Riolu are still available as partners in MIDNIGHT, to use them as heroes use version 1.2.1 or below. Additional portraits/sprites have been added for evolutions of all playable heros/partners where applicable, and sleep animation has been copied over to EventSleep where missing. Greninja's moveset has been updated and Sobble's full evolution line is now implemented. Alolan Raichu, Alolan Marowak and Hisuian Typhlosion are now available for evolution (see ingame evolution help via new cyndaquil NPC on the crossroads, alongside sprite/portrait/patch credits, or check learnset spreadsheet linked above.
15/06/23: The evolution flag for Litten and Froakie was erroneously still set to false in the previous update, but this is fixed as of 1.2.1, so be sure to update if you have either of those two. Despite doubts expressed in the changelog I can now confirm the update DOES work for existing save files!
08/06/23: Litten now evolves into Incineroar - and Froakie evolves into Greninja (mid-stages aren't available yet). Now includes a version compatible with Melon, RetroArch and DraStic emulators. Fairy gummis can now be bought or received as mission rewards, and existing pokémon that learn moonblast and disarming voice in sun and moon now learn it here. (Accidentally said Dazzling Gleam in the txt and changelog, but this is what I meant!). Several other bugfixes and improvements included - check the changelog for details!
17/05/23 Sobble is now available as a starter! 🎉 This means Skitty had to be removed as a hero unfortunately (but is still a partner) - if you'd like Skitty as a hero, be sure to download version 1.0.0 of this mod instead of the latest version. Sobble is also now available as a partner in MIDNIGHT version. For full list of heroes and partners, check the last two preview images for this hack. Updated the rescue team partners (Cubone, Psyduck, Machop) to use additional sprites and portraits created for the PMD Sprite Repository. Splashscreen credits for the artists have been swapped over to the title screen for readability and visibility.
Disclaimers:
All portraits and sprites are the work of artists contributing to the pmd sprite repository (Spreadsheet of individual credits with links when provided is here). Because work on the repository is ongoing, evolutions for Chespin, Fuecoco, Spritgatito and Quaxly are unimplented as of now, as are Torracat and Frogadier. Certain portraits may not show up in-game for the same reason. A set of exclusive items have been added and set across all new pokémon (Enigma bow, brooch and scarf, and ultima prism) - but I've not yet figured out how to modify the functionality of these yet so they're likely pretty useless as of now. Due to the size of the expanded starter list, all starters are sadly gender-locked. Check the document to verify what gender to select in the quiz in order to get your preferred hero. I've not ran into any issues so far with this, but feel free to message me here if you notice anything. I'm also contactable on tumblr (pyromaniac-cynadquil) and bluesky(@pyrocyndaquil.bsky.social). I'm currently looking into a potential version 2.0.0 featuring a third version with extra new starters as well as an overhaul to stats and patches used, but this is up in the air right now.

Pokemon Box: Ruby & Sapphire (Universal version)
By WindyPrairie
A weekend project that got really out of hand turned into this.
DISCLAIMER: THERE IS A LOT THAT CAN POTENTIALLY HAPPEN WITH THIS, AND THOUGH I DID DO RIGOROUS TESTING, THERE IS STILL NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS WON'T POTENTIALLY DO DAMAGE TO YOUR GBA SAVE FILES. I AM NOT LIABLE FOR POSSIBLE DATA CORRUPTION HERE. PLEASE HAVE SAVE BACKUPS BEFORE USING THIS UTILITY TO BE SAFE!
Pokemon Box: Ruby & Sapphire is a cool storage utility, but it has some pretty big drawbacks... so I fixed 'em. (This is also 100% compatible with original Box Ruby/Sapphire save files!!)
CHANGES:
-compatible with all language Gen 3 Pokemon games on the same save file (official cartridges only) (R/S/E/FR/LG)
-in the original game, you can ONLY withdraw Pokemon you didn't deposit if your save file has caught 100 Pokemon in the Pokedex. This limitation has been removed
-in the original game, in FR/LG and Emerald, a certain flag was checked on the save file that only gets set if you handed the Sapphire to Celio (FR/LG) or beat the Elite Four (Emerald). This prevents you from withdrawing OR depositing Pokemon until the postgame on both of these games. This limitation has been removed
CURRENT BUGS: (may or may not get fixed in the near future)
-currently all Ruby/Sapphire games are detected as Ruby. This is purely cosmetic and should not affect usage of the storage utility. This WILL cause only Ruby to be booted in Adventure mode, but there is a Gamecube Action Replay code you can run to make it Sapphire instead:
USA:
Force Sapphire Version [Ralf, Absol] 0403009C 38000000 040300A0 28000000 040300AC 38000001
PAL:
Force Sapphire Version [Ralf, Absol] 040310C0 38000000 040310C4 28000000 040310D0 38000001
JP:
Force Sapphire Version [Ralf, Absol] 0402F788 38000000 0402F78C 28000000 0402F798 38000001
-in the PAL version, Adventure mode will only boot the English Ruby/Sapphire despite whatever version you are actually using - I may look into this feature to restore the multi-language adventure mode files eventually.
-the boot screen on the GBA will always display the Japanese splash screen - that is because in order to make this all possible, modifications were made to the JP multiboot GBA file
HOW TO APPLY PATCH:
1. download the appropriate .xdelta patch for the version of the game you wish to run (usa, jp, or pal). You will also need a Pokemon Box iso for the appropriate version of the game you are looking for (obviously, not provided here). If your file is a .nkit.iso, you will need to convert it from that to a .iso file before patching it.
2. use delta patcher (https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/704/) to apply the patch to your .iso
3. You will now have a new .iso file to run on your modded Wii/modded gamecube and will be able to use all the new features

Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Type Mayhem
If you want to mix every Pokémon type, you've come to the right place!
Presenting Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Type Mayhem, a hack that gives 540 stat total to every Pokémon and mixes every type to make combinations that are not even present in the current Pokémon games! That means that most Pokémon got new move sets, some even got a new color to match their new type!
Some type matchups have been changed, and I even introduce a new typing: Dancer type!
Trailer
Features
-New type matchups and a new type.
-Every Pokémon have the same stat base total.
-Rebalanced moves, types and movesets. Drill Run added (single target Ground attack).
-Different Shadow Pokémon, making enphasis in the ones with most changes.
-All trainers are changed, specially bosses. Bosses on XD only have one Shadow Pokémon.
-Colosseum's Battle Mode has been completely changed, with trainers adapted to make use of the new type combinations.
You can use a save editor to transfer Pokémon from XD to Colosseum and to make your team exactly level 50 and 100.
- *.xdelta file and the software needed to path your iso.
Changes
You can read all the changes here. Documentation is also in the download.
Here are some of the biggest ones:
Known bugs:
-The Eldes fight is bugged. He clones his Shadow Pokémon.
-CD Battles will probably not work well because of all the changes.

PMD: Gates to Infinity Demake
Disclaimers:
Do not set the top screen menu to "Map and Team", this will break the game! This is a demo and does not contain the whole game yet.
Gates to Infinity Demake is a project that aims to recreate Gates To Infinity in the form of an Explorers of Sky rom-hack. Made In celebration of GTI's 10th anniversary, this hack aims to recreate the original game as closely as possible with minor improvement along the way. With improvements such as more starters, faster text speed, improved graphics (very subjective), and reworked dungeons. This project is a work in progress and is constantly changing.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is this hack complete? Not yet. While I plan to cover the entire game, It is currently just a demo for now.
When will this hack be complete? Not for a while. It takes a lot of work to make rom-hacks, and considering how ambitious this hack is and that I'm only one person, it may take up to two years or more to complete. However, I will be updating the hack with more story and gameplay so be sure to check every so often. I also have a twitter where I'll tweet when major updates come out.
How do I play this hack? You'll have to patch a clean US rom of Explorers of Sky in order to play this. You can use xdelta to patch the rom which come preinstalled with the download. After that, you can play it on any nds emulator or on an actual DS.
Will this hack feature base-building Yes
Some of the Pokemon are different species from the original game. Why? All gen 5 sprites for EoS are fan-made and many sprites don't exist yet for certain Pokemon. These are currently placeholders with whatever species is the most similar.
If you find any bugs, issues, or have any suggestions, then feel free to ask me on the SkyTemple Discord: https://discord.gg/skytemple

Pokemon Shattered Silver
By Swagster1000
Despite being known for housing some awful Pokemon, HGSS gives you a lot of overpowered Pokemon Like Gyarados, Alakazam, Crobat, Etc. But What if all of those were taken away. They player can now can only find awful Pokemon that do not ever get used like Parasect and Furret. Most evolutions were removed, so the player can still find Pokemon like Ralts, Tentacool, and Metang, Although they will not be able to reach their full potential. Shattered Silver, Inspired by Pokemon Challenge's Emerald Trashlocke, attempts to make the game harder mostly by handicapping the player. The bosses are slightly improved, but not by much. This game also bans effort values, Limit's the Power Points of set up moves, Bans Game corner, Bans Department Store TM's. The only change to the level curve for any hardcore nuzlockers is Pryce's highest level has been raised up to Level 38. This game only has the main story, So no Kanto because it makes no sense to balance it properly.
Tools Used:
PokerandoZX: Ajarmar
PokEditor: TurtleIsacc
DSPRE 1.6: Ad Astra
HxD: Nexus
Tinke: Pleonex
DsPokemonEditor: JackHack
The inspiration to make this: Mike the Entei, Pokemon Challenges

Pokemon Colosseum and XD: Equality Version
Welcome to a hack where all the Pokémon where created equal (for the most part). If you love a Pokémon that is almost unusable, here's your chance to make it the MVP in your team!
Features
-Every Pokémon have the same stat base total. Pokémon that evolve twice have 300, the ones that evolve once 420, and the ones that don't evolve 540 (exceptions below).
-Rebalanced moves, types and movesets. Drill Run added (single target Ground attack).
-Different Shadow Pokémon, making enphasis in the ones with most changes.
-All trainers are changed, specially bosses. Bosses on XD only have one Shadow Pokémon.
- *.xdelta file and the software needed to path your iso.
The most notable changes
Known bugs:
-The Eldes fight is bugged. He clones his Shadow Pokémon.
-CD Battles will probably not work well because of all the changes.
-When a Pokémon suffers from a status effect, it's name doesn't appear, or an incorrect name appears.
-There might be a problem with Hordel's Shadow Togepi, sadly I haven't been able to check if it's solved, but in the worst case scenario you just have to teach it new moves.

Pokemon Colosseum and XD: Sketch Version
Pokémon Colosseum and XD where you can only use Smeargles. Simple has that. But why play this hack instead of using Smeargles in the base game?
First, the Smeargles are given to you and/or have to be captured, so you don't need any external software to put them in your team.
Second, que Smeargles have edited stats. The goal of these hacks is to beat the game taking moves from enemies, not grinding. After testing this myself, I think I got the sweetspot for the new stats, where they aren't that great but they aren't trash.
Features
-You can only use Smeargles. Shadow Pokémon have a stupid low catch rate, and wild Pokémon don't appear in XD. You'll get a Master Ball in Colosseum, but you'll get something else in XD.
-Smeargles are slightly improved to minimize level grinding. Their new stats are 55/55/55/55/55/75. Their ability is now Trace.
-Miror B. won't appear for rematches, since you can't capture the Shadow Pokémon anyway.
-Very few text changes to adapt the changes.
-Custom banner.
- *.xdelta file and the software needed to path your iso.

Pokemon Colosseum and XD: ReduX

-Every Pokemon has one ability.
-Moves rebalanced. Almost every move is now useful and serves at least a niche.
-Different Shadow Pokémon, making enphasis in the ones with most changes.
-All trainers are changed, specially bosses. Bosses on XD only have one Shadow Pokémon.
- *.xdelta file and the software needed to path your iso.
The most noticeable changes
