    a lot of the most popular hacks are a good start, hacks like gaia, unbound, adventure red, shiny gold sigma and even radical red (even though its more diffucult than vanilla hacks) are good for new players

    I actually recommend Unbound. It has difficulty levels and has replaced having to teach your pokemon HMs. I also really enjoyed Rejuvenation.

    If you don't mind having to teach your pokemon HMs still, games like Gaia are supposedly really good.

    Gaia is the closest representation of an official game.

    Maybe for the time.

    It's very outdated and has some highly questionable design. An example shines through in the first 5 minutes with the first route trainers being punishing for not picking Charmander. Gift Pokemon are overloaded on you at random before the first gym, and the dialogue isn't too well written either.

    I respect it for what it was and the influence it created, but I don't think it holds up.

    Saw some gameplays and you are definely right. kinda wish someone remade it. probably would be a pretty solid hack nowadays if it had feautures like QoL changes, Balacing, Recent gen mons and better writen dialogues lol
    Dunno if the creator ever made any updates to it, i remenber it being on everyone`s top 10 rom hacks lists when it came out lol

    • I consider myself a new player because the last time I had played Pokemon was 15 years ago.

    The mod I recommend is "Inclement Emerald", it has all the Pokemon up to gen 7 plus you can easily customize everything about your Pokemon (IVs, abilities, personality, etc).
    It is considered a difficult mod but it's not unfair and I, personally, didn't find it too difficult even though I'm a noob.

    I heard that Pokemon Crystal Clear was a great game, I still need to look into it.
