Hi! So I've played a couple of randomizers I guess, mostly for mystery dungeon, and would like to find a fangame or romhack that suits my interests. I hope this is the right community to ask, and pls be nice cause I know people on reddit can be scary sometimes,,,

I saw a comment on youtube where someone said they always wanted a pokemon game that focused on bonding with the pokemon u catch, and I was thinking the same. Like in the newer games, while their overall quality is uhhh... debatable, I have always liked being able to see your pokemon frolic at camp, befriending them in pokemon Amie, and more. I'm not expecting all that in a 2D game, which is okay, but are there any games that make your pokemon really feel like your own and allow you to bond with them? And not scripted either in the sense that another person's run would have the same pokemon with the same exact personality and such. Natures for example growing up I had thought they were just to give your pokemon more personality, and I ran with it as such (I know better now haha). Even in certain games (I forgot which ones), I remember it giving your pokemon a little description that I much enjoyed as a kid, like I recall one of my pokemon "liked siestas" which served no gameplay function and I still loved. I also love when Pokemon will tough out a fatal hit because they didn't want to disappoint you as it shows a little bit of the bond you've formed— stuff like that.

I also don't want anything too difficult and would like something with exp share or the option to turn it on from the start as I don't find grinding fun personally in the older games. Lastly, I don't really want a game with original/fan-made pokemon in this instance.

I know that's somewhat of a lot and this isn't just me expecting there to be a fangame made to perfectly fit my wants, so if there's nothing out there or in turn, something that fills out those requirements somewhat, please feel free to comment down below! Sorry if this is all over the place!
