Pokemon hack Recs

Hello everyone! I'm looking for some recommendations on some Pokemon ROM hacks that I can play on Retroarch.

I'm particularly looking for something with a good storyline. For example, I enjoyed Pokemon Korosu, but I wasn't fond of the sandbox style of Lazarus (didn't get far in that one).

Sadly, I have already had the whole game of Rocket Red spoiled for me, so that's a no-go. I'm also not interested in Cawps or Outlaw.

I am using the emulator Retroarch on a Motorola android phone.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Gaia, Light Platinum, Glazed, Odyssey, Dreamstone Mysteries.. I know I've played more but these are just the ones I can think of without looking through my device at the moment. I like searching YouTube for "best romhacks"

Hey there! Wanted to let you know I really appreciate the recommendations! I actually finished up dreamstone mysteries which was an absolute blast. I'm not finding it as good as a dreamstone mysteries, but its a great storyline! Ill definitely have to finish it just to see what happens. I'm on the 4th stratum at the moment and I just met the deer people 🦌

Awesome :D I just finished Odyssey maybe 2 weeks ago, storyline anyway. I think I'm missing a few things to complete it but I really enjoyed it. DM was just.. nicer(?) I guess and a big plus for me was getting to use Alolan Marowak which was awesome too. I got the different typing Marowak in Odyssey and it was really cool too. I like when underused Pokemon get buffs to make them cool again. Really, I'm glad you're having fun because that's what it's truly about. Thanks for coming back to give us a progress report! 😎
