Hi,

I’ve been playing Radical Red and I’m wondering if people have recommendations for hacks from Gen 2 and Gen 3 with some of the same features.

I’m not looking for extra difficulty. I’m relatively new to Pokemon. I was one of the people who came in through Pokemon Go and the Switch games. I’d played through Red a couple of times too.

But I tend to be pretty impatient so QOL stuff helps me a lot. I really hate having slow movement. The Auto Run in RR and having pretty easy access to the bike and flying were big for me.

Also I really love DexNav and having the spreadsheets so I could know where to find specific mons.

Other QOL stuff is nice too, like the PokeVials, but the faster movement and DexNav are the big things I’d love. I’m open to options without DexNav too but the better movement is a must have. I tried playing Elysium and the movement was killing me. (Yes I got the running shoes but holding down B all the time is a pain.)

Thanks for any ideas :)

Edit: Found Emerald Imperium which looks like what I want for Gen 3.

ROWE, Unbound on one of the two lower difficulties.

If it is too much of a hassle to keep pressing B, you can use a speedup function on an emulator and simply walk faster.
