Have you checked that this actually works? Many base R functions do some preparation and call directly plot.default(), so they both bypass the method and see graphics::plot.default, not yours, see e.g. plot.ts().

This would allow users to simply load the package and use base graphics functions as normal, but get a pretty graph. The general pattern I follow is: https://github.com/jumpingrivers/prettyB/blob/master/R/plot.R#L23 which then includes S3method(plot,default) in my NAMESPACE file. When building and checking the package I get Registered S3 methods from standard package(s) overwritten by 'prettyB': method from plot.default graphics which CRAN does not permit. Question: Is it possible to achieve the functionality I'm after (replacing the default plot.default() functions) while following the CRAN rules?
