I lived Red and Blue as a kid. I think I played Gold on an emulator back in the day.

I really loved the challenge I had playing Red as a kid. I liked getting through an area with just a few hp left.

I never got hardcore into the newer games and have been so disappointed with how easy and hand holding the newer games have been.

I would like to play a romhack. Can someone make a recommendation for me?

    I haven’t played too many, but Drayano’s hacks have a reputation for being crazy hard. Maybe the difficulty will be a bit overkill for what you’re looking for, but give one a try and see if it revitalizes the spark you had as a kid.

    If that doesn’t work out, I’d recommend trying out a nuzlocke with one of the Gen 1-5 games. (Red and Blue through Black and White.) A nuzlocke is a self-imposed challenge with a few rules. Here’s a link to understand how it works.

    There’s also nuzlocke randomizers, those can be stupid fun. I only recommend doing that after getting your feet a bit wet though.

    I hope this helps!
