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?
Thanks, to be honest, I kinda forgot about the nuzlocke rules. I may jump right into a randomizer.
Awesome, have fun! Here’s a link to the randomizer if you don’t already have it.

This tool looks amazing! Can you recommend a good version to randomize? I guess black2 would be good as it is the latest it supports.
Depends on what you want. Crystal would be good for nostalgia since it’s the sequel to the generation you played as a kid, Emerald is great because Hoenn is a giant and fun region. Platinum, Heart Gold & Soul Silver, and Black & White + Black & White 2 is the string of games most agree to be the peak of Pokemon as a whole.
The only con imo is that starting with any of the later ones may make it harder to revisit older ones due to dated mechanics, design, and a smaller pool of Pokemon + moves. I recommend hopping around and seeing what you like most.
Thanks for the summary. Maybe I will just start with crystal and move forward as I complete the games 🙏
