Other than that, I have no preference for what region it takes place in, new or original, if it’s just a rebalance hack, if it brings in modern Pokémon/mechanics, or if it’s its own unique experience. It’s “finished” - ideally I don’t want to get to the halfway or near-end mark and be told “oops sorry you’re done now go home”, but I know that isn’t always feasible.Making the game less tedious to play is always nice. Good QoL changes - If there’s one thing the modern games have done right it’s implement good quality of life changes, like being able to more easily change natures, IV/EVs, and even abilities on a whim.I’ve heard Uranium’s good though, I may try that out eventually, but right now I just want to stick with what’s already there. No original mons - I’d rather not learn a whole new generation.Lack of “edginess” - from what I’ve seen this may actually be a tough ask, as even Storm Silver couldn’t help itself from adding in a masturbation gag, but as long as it doesn’t go that far or take it self overly serious to the point of being goofy it should be fine.
Storm Silver it felt like had this down at first, but the gym battles were just too infuriating for me to put up with after awhile. Well balanced difficulty - being more challengin is ok, but only if they you’re given the options to deal with the difficulty instead of forcing you to grind or change mons to suit the situation (looking at you Radical).I want to play something new rather than returning to a mainline game, but I still like the feel of the older games and would want something comparable that almost feels like it was made by Game Freak. I’ve been itching for some Pokémon gameplay recently, and after trying a couple hacks like Unbound, Storm Silver, and Radical Red, and being unsatisfied with the difficulty, and in Unbound’s case, edginess of the story, I felt like I should ask here for some recommendations.
