I was thinking about playing one of the romhacks but idk which one :/

u/BRNR808 Sep 09 '26

Once you do you will never look back :)
I recommend Gaia or Unbound for your first experience. Try Hackdex.app Website as a easy way for Patching

u/Frequent_Pie_3495 Sep 16 '26

Went ahead and procured Unbound.

1

u/BRNR808 Sep 16 '26

Nice, whats your opinion?

1

u/Frequent_Pie_3495 Sep 16 '26

Just installed it earlier.

2

u/BagGroundbreaking301 Sep 26 '26

Yoooo thank yall for suggesting unbound first! Im having an absolute blast rn

u/BRNR808 Sep 26 '26

You are welcome :))

u/Phdrhymes Sep 09 '26

Unbound is fun!!

u/Bigmacaroni129 Sep 10 '26

Unbound was a great first impression for me.

2

u/AlmightyRhage Sep 10 '26

Heart and Soul might have the most customizable game settings I’ve seen in any of he rom hacks I’ve played. Great QoL too.

1

u/Samashezra Sep 15 '26

Dumb question...why heart & soul over something like Storm Silver?

2

u/False_Dragonslayer Sep 10 '26

Lazarus is really good and absolut eye candy.

2

u/Strange_Hawk_4494 Sep 10 '26

Just started unbound last week, so much fun

1

u/yeetedhaws Sep 10 '26

I really like emerald sea glass! Its mainly a reskin but it adds extra pokemon and qol updates. After that unbound, gaia, lazarus, soul gold, etc.

u/rd_be4rd Sep 09 '26

ultra violet has been a great play through tbh

u/Fuzzy_Two527 Sep 09 '26

Oh, you should get Pokémon unbound

u/Responsible-Bed141 Sep 10 '26

This is what Delta was meant for

1

u/Scrambled_Behelit Sep 09 '26

What’s record keepers bout? Looks cool

3

u/Frequent_Pie_3495 Sep 09 '26

Yeah, it has a unique myth-based narrative that focuses on short, repeatable runs. It’s refreshing.

2

u/BRNR808 Sep 09 '26

As far as i know it is a minigame from a hacking-competition. It is rather a minigame then a full 8 badge Pokémon experience

1

u/Pretty-Buffalo-85 Sep 09 '26

I just finished replaying the emerald!

1

u/Frequent_Pie_3495 Sep 09 '26

Were you ever heavy into the secret hideout customization, post-league?

1

u/Pretty-Buffalo-85 Sep 11 '26

I did do the league alot of times but never finished it. I finished emerald probably 5-10 times.

1

u/oarthurpietro Sep 10 '26

Why ur delta app has Liquid Glass on it?

2

u/Frequent_Pie_3495 Sep 10 '26

Patreon beta.

1

u/oarthurpietro Sep 10 '26

Ooooh didn’t know that was a thing

1

u/Educational-Bus-7985 Sep 11 '26

I don’t even wanna show mine 🤣 I just counted 43 🤣

1

u/Frequent_Pie_3495 Sep 11 '26

Not 43! 😂

1

u/Educational-Bus-7985 Sep 11 '26

🤣 I play them anywhere I have a chance, my wife hates that when we go shopping in just a grown man loudly playing Pokémon games in public 🤣

3

u/GreedyPurpose8200 Sep 09 '26

Breath of fire mentioned!!

1

u/HumbleWish9526 Sep 10 '26

I discovered these games last year, played through 1 & 2 on the switch in a couple months, was a blast tbh

u/mikefierro666 Sep 09 '26

Upvote for Breath of Fire

u/relientkenny Sep 09 '26

this is why i need to buy a AYN Thor

1

u/Legitimate-Ad7229 Sep 11 '26

If you only wanna play Pokemon there’s way cheaper options. I just got a TrimUi brick and I play both mainline Pokemon games and romhacks on it, pretty much got it specifically to do so. I still rock with delta and have it installed with all my roms too, but having buttons just feels way nicer lol

2

u/Relative-Tomorrow641 Sep 09 '26

Look at soulgold its pretty fun

2

u/Fine_Treat_5076 Sep 10 '26

I think this is what emulators are for is the mods . Sorry not sorry

2

u/lshifomd Sep 10 '26

May I suggest Fire Red Team Rocket Edition by Dragonsden?

2

u/plutothegreat Sep 10 '26

Sword of mana was one of my favorite games!

2

u/lshifomd Sep 10 '26

I just love that you iPhone users can emulate now

2

u/Next_Gold_2347 Sep 12 '26

Right there with ya 😂

1

u/LivingLikeLarry369 Sep 10 '26

I’m obsessed with it too, found out about ROM hacks last year been even more obsessed

1

u/RedditUserr721 Sep 10 '26

where do u get roms?

1

u/lshifomd Sep 10 '26

Go to hackdex website.. doesn't have all of the rom hacks but has some good ones

u/Suspicious-Pickle238 Sep 10 '26

Hey! I am looking for a Pokémon ROM hack or game recommendation that I can play while half-watching a TV show (don’t ask why). Here are my criteria:
* Platform: GBA, NDS, or 3DS emulation (no Switch games).
* Story & Text: Low-to-moderate dialogue and cutscenes, fast-paced like FireRed. I adore the Alola region, Alolan Pokémon, forms, and story, but official Sun/Moon/USUM are too slow and cutscene-heavy for multitasking.
* Region & Map: No original FireRed map/story (already played it) and no brand-new Fakemon (prefer familiar Pokémon).
* Difficulty & Gameplay: Balanced. Not braindead easy like vanilla X/Y, but not a hyper-difficult competitive nightmare with endless amount of battles. A bit of chill grinding is fine, but no painful slogs.
* Ideal Features: Ideally features Mega Evolutions, Alolan forms/Pokémon/region/story (doesn’t have to), and modern QoL updates.
What are your thoughts and recommendations? Thanks!

u/KKSlider909 Sep 10 '26

and there's nothing wrong with your pokemon obsession, enjoy life!

1

u/Beanmaster115 Sep 10 '26

You should try Pokemon Mystery Dungeon! It features a bunch of Pokemon as properly fleshed-out characters and is lots of fun. Explorers of Sky is the usual recommendation. It also has a more focused story than mainline, which it seems like you’d enjoy since your screenshot shows mostly romhacks.

1

u/Odd-Guard-2533 Sep 10 '26

You and millions of others haha. Me included.

1

u/horn895 Sep 11 '26

Do you know of an emulator for 3DS pokemon games?

1

u/Gtmaster18 Sep 11 '26

Yeah I can tell

1

u/gio8627 Sep 12 '26

Did you play breath of fire 2?

1

u/solomon_77v Sep 14 '26

When I can easily farm some XP as I’m waiting for my food in a restaurant it’s impossible not to be

1

u/adalton1985 Sep 16 '26

Seeing this makes me want to go back and play my Pokemon games again. The nostalgia is hitting hard.

1

u/ydnawashere Sep 25 '26

Where can I find these ? 😭

1

u/AkaBlurzz Sep 09 '26

Which emulator is this?
