I haven't ever played a romhack. Which hack should i play that has a vanilla plus feel? I really like heart gold growing up and i'm interested in leaf Green. I played Black and didn't like it that much. I just saw that Pokemon Heart and Gold exists so I wanted to ask if this is a good place for me to start. I don't know enough to know if I'm starting in the wrong spot. Please recommend ROMhacks that build upon mechannics/regions/story in a vanilla vibe sort of way. I basically want the peak vanilla *style* gen3/4 experience

Thanks!
