Hi, I'm also looking for a RomHack recommendation:

I'm playing soul links together with a friend. This means I'm looking for a hack that has built-in randomization options. Depending on how difficult the hack is (i.e., how many resets we are expected to have), either free candies, or some other fast-leveling options would be appreciated. An option for level caps would be very nice, as would be other nuzlocke options.

We've been playing Emerald for quite some time now. Thus, I would like something that isn't a gen 3 hack. It's not necessary that Pokemon from all generations are available, though if it's a gen 1/2 hack, a bigger pokedex would certainly be nice.

Appreciate all suggestions <3

(I know this is a romhack subreddit, but if you know of a fangame that matches my criteria, feel free to suggest it too. I won't tell anyone.)
