This is a topic I enjoyed seeing over at the other place, so I thought I'd try to get it going here if people are interested.

I've been playing my way through and enjoying Pokemon Unbound, one of the most amazing Pokemon rom hacks to have been created. It's a rom hack with a custom region, custom story, and amazing customization in settings. It even manages to have a difficult mode that is challenging without being grindy bullshit.

I'm doing a "soft nuzlocke" of the game, where I can only capture one Pokemon a route, and my Pokemon don't die- instead, when I wipe, the entire run ends. It's a lot more forgiving and fun way to play Pokemon while making it a little bit more challenging. Would recommend trying any Pokemon game this way, and would especially recommend Pokemon Unbound whether you're a casual or experienced Pokemon player.
