      For anyone interested, here's a shortlist of the best Fan-made Games as well as ROM Hacks that I could find. I've grouped them into sort of a theme/trilogy as I find that neat. Here you go:
      "Origins Trilogy"
      - Pokemon RocketEdition, RedChapter, AshGray
      "Resolute Trilogy"
      - Pokemon Resolute, Nameless, Mega Power
      "Sweet Trilogy"
      - Pokemon Gaia, Flora Sky, Blaze/Glazed
      "Advanced Trilogy"
      - Pokemon CrystalClear, Emerald Theta Rev, Light Platinum
      "Dark Series"
      - Pokemon Dark Rising, Dark Rising 2, Order Destroyed, Dark Rising 3
      ...and lastly there's the "Fakemon Triology"
      - Pokemon Uranium, Pokemon Snakewood, and Pokemon Clover
      PS: I haven't played the Rom Hacks of Pokemon Unbound, Pheonix Rising, and GS Chronicles as discussed by other commenters. And I'm not usually a fan of Fake-monsters or Fusion-monsters, because it usually does distract from the story, meta, and gameplay.

    I would love a GBA ROM that starts you in Kanto and goes through them all up to the new region today. Increased level caps with each region you go through, and new mechanics unlocked as you go. Like Megas in one region, then the next you learn to dynamax, but don't lose the ability to mega evolve still.

    1. Pokémon Reborn (surprisingly hidden gem)
    2. Pokémon Insurgence
    3. Pokémon team rocket edition
    4. Pokémon red adventures
    5. Pokémon Unbound (amazing, if a little overhyped)

      Before Playing the final release of Clover that happened 2 years ago I used to play Pokemon and some Rom Hacks basically every 2 or 3 months. I did a quick playthrough, usually using speed up the whole way through. When Clover came out I literally was obsessed with it for weeks and I'm not even a 4chan Member. I played around 400h, completing the pokedex, shiny hunting, doing 2 playthroughs, buidling mutliple viable teams etc.
      Ever since these few weeks I have never managed to finish any other pokemon game or rom hack, because Clover just set the bar so ridiculously high, that anything else was just plainly unenjoyable. I absolutey love the humor, the OST, and especially the designs of the mons. Easily the best Fakemons ever, I basically remember them just as good as normal Pokemon. The game is also incredibly well balanced. Pretty much 90% of mons are strong and viable and the fights are actually challenging and the teams are really diverse. I was in their discord at that time period and no one ever had the same team. Most people didn't even have 1 matching Pokemon. By far the best Rom hack ever and it will probably never be matched, except when they make another one imo.

    I’ve also tried a good amount of fan games back in the day and throughout the years, from old ones such as the Ranger EX, Super eevee edition to more newer ones like Insurgence, Uranium, Rejuvenation, the new adventures one.
    The Pokémon rom hack / fangame community is something I don’t think o can ever get tired of.
    Though, it has definitely gotten harder to find new rom hacks to play, but I’m always looking for something new. (if anyone knows any good ones, recommend them and I’ll see if I’ve touched it or not xD)
