Over the past few weeks, the staff of PHO/TPB have been selecting three hacks to compete against one another for the top position of Pick of The Season. Those rankings have been totalled up and the winners have been selected!
Third place is a hack by Chrunch.
Pokémon Cyan is a FireRed hack that takes place in the Celia region. The storyline follows in the footsteps of Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow and Gold/Silver/Crystal versions and features Team Rocket making a comeback after the letdown in the Johto region. Pokémon have disappeared, and other strange occurances have occured lately, and no one knows what Team Rocket is doing with them.
You journey out as a 12-year-old hero and you make your attempt to go on a journey and collect all the badges, become a Pokémon Master and complete the Pokédex. Those plans suddenly change when you see Team Rocket attempting to capture Regirock at the Celia Archipelago, and it’s up to you: Help Team Rocket, or assist the Pokémon and stop their plans in the Celia region! You choose!
Second place is a hack by Co500.

Cubone and The Power Crystal is a part of a series of minihacks. In this installment, you are one of the ex-Team Rocket members after they disbanded from Kanto. You make a promise to yourself to do no more harm, but all that goes out the window when you are discovered. You attempt to make your getaway, and the bridge on Seven Island in the Sevii Islands that is supposed to be there is out! Compelled to make your escape so you don’t go to jail for life, you jump into the fast-flowing current and fall unconscious. The police then assume you have drowned and they leave.
Meanwhile, you wake up on a deserted island, but there is one thing that is special. A Cubone is attempting to communicate with you and you are woken up by it.
That concludes this special Community edition of Emulation Monthly. Thanks for reading!
