Pokemon Rocket Edition Dragonsden

[PhilosipherStoned]

I've been stuck on Pokémon rom hacks like all year. I did Pokémon infinite fusion, Sovereign of the Skies, and so many more this year alone, but my favorite niche I've come across is the rocket editions where you start off as a horribly underpowered grunt that's given one of the common team rocket Pokémon as a starter. When I initially found out they existed I just thought I would have a few cheap thrills stealing Pokémon from trainers after I beat them, but big heads up there's only one version of rocket edition has that as a mechanic, and it isn't dragonsden.

Dragonsden does share a lot of the main storyline with the other rocket edition that's more praised "colonelsalt" but that game ends not too long after your Pokémon league challenge since Giovanni hands over complete leadership of team rocket to you, and you get sent to prison for all their crimes.   Dragonsden lacks the main attention grab which is the Pokémon stealing mechanic, but it extends the storyline so much further. ATM I'm currently the chief rocket admin of the Johto region for example about to head to Blackthorn city to take on the infamous dragon tamer clan. So basically rocket edition takes the stance that Lance is actually a fascist dictator, and that's why you only see gen1 Pokémon in Kanto under his rule...Also why vitamins and shit are so expensive. He doesn't want anybody to be able to take his spot. 

The creator put so much original content into this game. There's mega forms to pokemon that don't actually get mega forms...Including Starmie that just had this autistic shit released by gamefreak..

They had a way cooler concept out before gamefreak released that tap dancing trash

Anybody else out there a Pokémon ROM hack fanatic? Share some of your favorites, tips, tricks etc. since the best part of ROM hacks is you can often do it your way.
