===Pokémon Ruby Destiny series===
The Pokémon Ruby Destiny series is a series of hacks for Pokémon Ruby, created by destinedJagold. The first Ruby Destiny game is titled Reign of Legends, and is set in the new region known as Gento. The game offers an updated tileset for maps, new cities and towns, Gym Leaders and Trainers, as well as the game's two villainous teams, Royal Darkness and Luminous Cenaries, who both vision a world of darkness and light respectively. The game also has some 4th Generation Pokémon implemented in, though the sprites for them are of poor quailty as this was DJG's first step in ROM Hacking, the game features a sidestory regarding Lugia, being Shadow Lugia and being a major part of the story. The player will also be able to visit a small portion of the Kanto region after completing the game. Despite the changes, this game's story is very similar to Ruby's.

The next game in the RD series is titled Rescue Rangers, and mimics the style of the Mystery Dungeon games, but keep the feel of the main games. It centers around the player, who lives in the real world, going to a birthday party while in a Pikachu costume, but is then sent, along with the player's friends, to the region known as Hevah in the Pokémon world. There he/she is transformed into a Pikachu and is joined up with a Torchic and Chikorita and form a rescue team known as Team Go-Getters. Soon the three find the player's friends, also transformed into a Pokémon, as they journey across the region to carry out missions, similar to the first two Mystery Dungeon games. The game offers a new take on playing the MD games while sticking to the roots of the traditional main series games, with new tilesets, sprites, maps, and ability to rescue other Pokémon. The player's team is unable to evolve however and because of obvious reasons, there is no way to catch other Pokémon.

The third game in the series titled Life of Guardians, and takes place in an alternate Hevah due to the actions of Team Go-Getters in the previous game. The game centers around a boy/girl who has dreams to become what is called a Guardian Trainer, despite having no knowledge of what a Guardian Trainer is or does. The game offers an extensive original story, new region to explore, Gym Leaders are known as Elemental Masters and give out Symbols rather than badges, two new organizations known as the Dark Organization, who causes havoc across Hevah, and Team Earth, who plans on removing mankind for the sake of the Pokémon. The game offers three stories depending on the player's actions: The Hero story, the normal story, and the Evil story. The game features new music from other RPG titles, namely from the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, a few new Fakémon and 4th and 5th generation Pokémon that are original to the region. The game also features numerous side quests to do, as well as a way to see the game's true ending. Life of Guardian has been praised by players for being an excellent ROM hack, being named Hack of the Year in the Pokecommunity forums, and having a high replay value.

Currently, a fourth game in the series is in development, titled Broken Timeline, and is going to be set in a remade Kanto region. DJG stated that the first beta release for the game will be available after the first Chapter is completed and tested. Features include new tilesets, the implementation of Gen IV, V, and VI Pokémon as well as the Fairy-type, a few Fakemon, custom-weather conditions, new attacks that won't replace old ones, and the Physical/Special split that was first implemented in Generation IV games. The Eon duo, Latios and Latias, seem to have a major plot to the hack as well.
The fourth game in the series is in development, titled Broken Timeline. The story centers around the events after Life of Guardians, in which Chaomega is about to merge the two timelines together, since the Dragon Gods of Hevah disappeared since there are no Guardian Trainer to use as a vessel to keep them alive. The main protagonist, a Latios or Latias depending on the gender selected and in human form, are tasked to search for Lugia and Ho-Oh in Kanto and Johto to see if they are prepared for the merge but are nowhere to be found, as are Mewtwo and Celebi. Despite this, Chaomega merges the timelines together, only for Arceus to appear, upset with Chaomega's actions and the player is forced into a battle against Arceus in which they lose. The player then wakes up as a new Trainer getting ready to begin their journey.


Recently, DJG decided to go back and try to fix some of the bugs in the first three games, while still allowing other hackers to modify the game they see fit, stating he will try to fix some bugs that were game breaking and were difficult to fix at the time.
The game is unique than the other three titles as the player is able to choose which region they can start in. They start in either Kanto, Johto, Gento, Hevah, and the Crest region. The game also features other elements from newer titles, such as Physical/Special split from Generation IV, new attacks that don't replace existing ones, a few Fakemon from the previous game, new music with some from the previous title, and Pokémon from Generations IV, V, and VI, along with the Fairy-type and the new Chaos-type.
 
The game is currently in its first Beta, allowing up to 2 or 3 Gyms to be battled, depending on which region the player chose.
