playing a good romhack is like adding chili oil to an okay dish. the original dish is straight-up obsoleted. there’s no going back.

Personally, I lean towards gameplay romhacks, but there’s stuff for everyone! Some of my must have pokemon romhacks:
Gen 2 -> Crystal Clear Gen 3 -> Radical FireRed, Emerald Rogue Gen 4 -> Renegade Platinum
I mainly play Emerald Rogue but the combined replay value of just these 4 is thousands of hours.
