Base games relatively unchanged, but with added Pokemon

    Hi folks,

    So, I have a bit of a confession to make. I love the idea of having all 1,000+ Pokemon in a game like Emerald or Fire Red or really any ROM. I also like the idea of updated moves, mechanics, and QoL improvements like running, etc. But.. I'm not really into a lot of fanmade games that add new made up story elements, new fake moves, made up abilities, etc. that aren't actually part of the standard series. There's nothing wrong with it, I can certainly see the appeal, but it just isn't really my thing. Like, I love the concept of Radical Red in many ways, but I'm not into fan mons or changing the stats and abilities of mons. Just not my thing.

    All of that is to say, what games and mods do you guys think are best in terms of featuring all or many of the Pokemon, abilities, moves, etc. but without dramatic story changes or fake mons and moves and the like? I know there was an old red one, but as far as I know that is years old now. I did come across a Sword-Shield remake hack which was fun for what it was. But I'd really love something like Radical Red or Emerald with maybe upped difficulty compared to the base game, randomized pokemon or filled out teams, improved mechanics, and all of the newer real Pokemon, just without things like Fakemons and made up stats and abilities. Does anything like this exist? Any recommendations?
     
    Having access to 1000+ Pokemon really isn't relevant to me.

    Though I enjoy taking extra care to build onto the official lore. If you're going to add fake mons or whatnot, it's more interesting to establish them via the sources available. Maybe unused designs can be unearthed from like an artbook or developer interview.

    No Fakemon in my game and yes, my game will have some lore that's not in the original games. Definitely not 1000 Pokémon like I stated; that's just too much (like adding more than 2/3 regions), but they're all from the first 4 gens and Sylveon. My post in the Showcase section under being developed is still awaiting approval.
