Hey everyone, I’m looking for some cool romhacks and I figured this community might have some recommendations. I mostly play on GBA but we don't have to limit discussion to that platform.

I have recently started Pokemon Unbound after finishing sapphire and it’s crazy what people are able to do on the GBA. I have heard of people making events for games like emerald using the E-reader but I haven’t tried those out yet. Have you played any romhacks, and if you have, which ones do you think are fun?

I'm a big fan of gen 2 so I mostly played romhacks based on that. To me the GBC offers a better experience than GBA because of the chiptunes compared to sound samples. Some personal recommendations:

Pokémon Polished Crystal: it's pokémon crystal, but natures and abilities have been added, new movesets making lot of pokémon viable and interesting, and overall it's an enhanced experience from the original game. I fully recommend it
Pokémon Prism: another romhack of crystal, but it's a complete overhaul of the game where action doesn't happen on Johto and Kanto, but on completely new regions Naljo and Rijon. It's an incredible experience, and the soundtrack is top notch (the gym leader music is amazing)
