"Pokémon Ruby Destiny" is a popular series of games based on the {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} engine created by [[PokéCommunity]] user destinedJaGold. The series consists of three completed games: Reign of Legends, Rescue Rangers and Life of Guardians. A fourth, Broken Timeline, is currently under development. This series is of particular note, as it is one of the longest running completed hack series available, partiularly for it's in-depth gameplay and plot. It, like other popular hacks, has even drawn interest from Let's Play creators. The series is also know for incorporating the [[Fairy (type)|Fairy type]] into the Generation III game engine, as well as a user-created "Chaos type", alongside several user-created Pokémon (known as "Fakémon" among fans).

"Moemon" (short for "{{wp|Moe (slang)|Moekko}} Monsters") is a prominent hack of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that changes all Pokémon into {{wp|Moe anthropomorphism|gijinka}}. It is a simple change of FireRed, but with additions such as the ability to catch the three [[starter Pokémon|starters]], {{p|Eevee}}, and a mix of both LeafGreen and FireRed Pokémon (thus making it simpler to obtain all Pokémon). The game still receives a fair amount of attention, as a patch was released solely for the FireRed hack that updated both the sprites of the Pokémon as well as their menu sprites, functioning like DLC would for any game.

"Pokémon TPP Version" is a hack created for the season 2 opening episode of [[Twitch Plays Pokémon]]. It is based on the Pokémon Red 151 dex hack and was developed by user pigdevil2010 with EliteAnax17 and the channel's streamer. It is a much tougher version of [[Pokémon Red]], with significant [[level]] increases across all battles. All Pokémon, including [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|version-exclusive]] and {{DL|Methods of evolution|Evolution via trading|trade evolutions}}, are obtainable as well as catchable (all 151 are available in the wild). The hack includes additional challenges and features, such as [[legendary Pokémon]] respawns, [[Gym Leader]] and [[Elite Four]] rematches with higher-level teams and Level 100 event battles with [[Professor Oak]] and the original {{ga|Red}} from the first Twitch Plays Pokémon episode. It also includes the Battle Tent, a [[Battle Tower]]-like facility intended for players to earn money post-game.

This hack is notable as it is the first to ever be specifically designed for live broadcast, as well as the first to be designed for Twitch Plays Pokémon's unique play style. For example, {{p|Mew}}'s Cave (a post-game bonus dungeon located in the area of the [[S.S. Anne]]) is not too difficult to navigate with a single player, but with hundreds controlling the game at once, it becomes challenging. The game took 39 days to complete and was played by thousands of people over that time. The patch was only made available after the game was completed by the community.
