Obvious Beta is YMMV. Cleanup: (re)moving wick from trope/work example lists


* ObviousBeta: ''[=SpiritGold=]'', his first attempt at a ''[=HeartGold=]'' hack, was released before Generation IV hacking was well understood, leading to numerous bugs and quirks, as well as various development shortcuts (such as making some items missable if not stolen from non-rematchable trainers). It essentially serves as the beta to the first iteration of ''Sacred Gold''.

** A particularly ambitious one is ''Pokémon Renegade Battle Revolution'' by [=PomTrom=], a mod of ''[[VideoGame/PokemonStadium Pokémon Battle Revolution]]'' that is compatible with and incorporates all the changes in ''Renegade Platinum''.
** In general, "Drayano hacks" have become a catch-all term in the Pokémon hacking community for hacks that play out like his: increased difficulty, all Pokémon available without trading, many Pokémon being heavily modified to make them more formidable, and easily trained Pokémon.

* AdaptationalWimp: Rainy or sunny weather summoned by abilities doesn't boost water/fire damage as much as they do in main games, something [=Drayano60=] does to balance them against the other weather conditions and against using Rainy/Sunny Day instead.

* TrueFinalBoss: From ''Sacred Gold'' and ''Storm Silver'' onwards, Arceus serves this role in Drayano's hacks. If you want to get it, you need to register every Pokemon in the Pokedex (As well as obtain all of the plates in ''Sacred Gold'' and ''Storm Silver'' and ''Renegade Platinum''), and there isn't much else you can do with the games after you catch it.
