It's nice to see you on board, friend; welcome to PokéCommunity!
I haven't played much fan-games before, unfortunately, but I did play ROM hacks, and some of them were quite good. My most favorite would likely have to be Ruby Destiny series, as I'd fond their plots to be rather engaging. If you get the chance, I would definitely recommend giving these games a go; they are great, haha. I'm sure you'll like playing.
I hope you have an enjoyable stay here, True, and have fun posting around. If you wish to chat with somebody, I'm here, so please feel free to drop a message on my profile at any time, and I'll respond as soon as I see!
