    Short and simple.

    There are fangames in this forum, some of which are playable. Are you playing any? If so, which ones? How often do you play fangames, and are you enjoying them?
     
    Uranium is my favourite, mainly because it adds evolutions to some cool but forgotten pokemons such as primeape, dunsparce and corsola. It even has a fire/poison chimera!!
    Being a nitpicker, I had always hated the official games for leaving behind some pokemon in a seemingly 'unfinished' state, so I particularly enjoyed playing this one even though the starters only evolve once.
    Really, any of the games which add fakemons interest me, but recently I tried solar light/lunar dance and they were a big letdown. 300+ fakemons and almost none of them really stood out, I was not impressed.
    So yeah, adding new pokemon to a game can make it that much more amazing, but not if they aren't impeccably designed and balanced stat-wise!
    Screw game freak's quality, you must strive higher! {XD}
    Another game that doesn't have fakemon and still managed to keep me interested is survival island. You must face the consequences of losing a wild battle, and you must literally try to survive at the start with only your starter ( which by the way, can be any non-evolved and non-legendary ). It emphasizes on exploration, something that clearly lacks in the official games. It even has ruins with puzzles!
     
    I am not playing one currently, but I have played Pokemon: Hall of Fame, Pokemon Raptor and the demos of Pokemon Obsidian.

    As I come from the rom hacking scene from the beggining, I have played a lot more of those, and I can honestly say, in general, I enjoy fan games more.

    I always find fan-games very interesting to play, simply because they have such a personal touch, compared to the real games. Even if the game itself is a remake it always have something so original in it's execution, it is always worth playing!
     
    Unfortunately I am not finding a whole lot of time to play through any. I keep telling myself I am going grab one and go, but work on Pillars generally stops me from doing it.

    I will be setting aside time to a private beta run of one of the games here sometime this month though.
     
    I've been staring at Raptor EX for a week now, but everytime I click on it EU4 opens up. Very strange thing that...

    I have been playing Liquid Crystal and it's pretty polished. Dick trainers at the end of a route keeps me on my toes, but the Gym leaders are a bit overleveled.

    6th gen pokemon plus good storyline with 3 regions to explore..
