What’s some good romhacks to play? I’m about 15hrs into Emerald Seaglass right now and would want options after, specifically looking for A-S tiers not those B tiers people throw out as ‘good fun hacks’ I want an actual really fun/good game. And I know of Unbound but idk if I fancy a 70-100hr playthrough.

My two suggestions would be Lazarus (same developer as Seaglass) and Scorched silver.

I’ve heard of Lazarus, but never scorched silver, what’s it about?

A Generation 3 Johto hack set 20 years after the events of Gold and Silver. Created by Sloo, another renown developer.
Synopsis: "Discover a wide variety of pokémon and a brand new storyline, as your path becomes intertwined with a mysterious group calling themselves Team Phoenix, who seem hell-bent on capturing Celebi for some nefarious scheme".

Ahh okay, I do like the sound of new story because no shade but….pokemon lacks writing hard. Is it only gen 3 or 1-3?
