I've been really into Pokemon Unbound (Fire Red ROM hack) recently, once I beat it I think I'm going to play around with the settings and play it again. It's amazing having a Pokemon game that isn't baby easy, and I love that I don't have to impose rules on myself to make it harder. It's really opened my eyes to ROM hacks, I think I'll be playing more next year
Also a fan of Unbound! My last run I tried whatever setting it is that makes it so that all fully evolved pokemon have the same stat totals, which really made the game feel different and like I actually had options for building a team. Although I still found myself thinking "oh I can't put butterfree on my team, it's too weak"
My favorite hack is Gaia, it doesn't have as many features as Unbound but it's got the right vibes for a pokemon game while still having increased difficulty and QOL stuff.
I'll have to check it out!
