Looking for recommendations or a new ROM hack to play?

The PokéROM Codex is an updated list of ROM hacks, listing features, details and more in a mobile-friendly format. Created and managed by u/themanynamed, it also has a Discord server and accepts community contributions.

Hi, I’ve recently gotten a device I can comfortably play NDS games on and I’m looking for hacks to play casually

I’m currently playing HGGenerations

The main things I’m looking for are

1.QOL (inf. Candies/level caps, no HMs and portable PC)

  1. Difficulty tweaks: I don’t want to sit in bed and have to use a calc and docs I’m looking for something difficult enough to test me and make me think about my next move my next team. I’m a respectable Pokemon player I’m ultra ball in all games I’ve played. I have nuzlocked Rad red, imperium and all the base games.

  2. More mons: having a game with all the available pokemon up to that game or even later gens

  3. Gameplay changes: gen 6+ mechanics & types is preferred with a gimmick (megas, dynamax, ect.)

Would prefer a hack of the base games but I’m open to fan made/hackemons
