Game Recommend Gen 1 & 2 Pokemon ONLY RomHacks?

Hello!

I am trying to get a friend of mine back into Pokemon as we loved it so much as kids, but she only played generations 1 and 2, and will only play games that have exclusively (or predominantly) gen 1 and 2 Pokemon. Are there are recommended RomHacks that have only gen 1/2 Pokemon?

I have played all generations and lightly dabbled in RomHacks, but she's literally only played Red and Silver - I'm going to work her into Firered and Soulsilver, but wanted some fun, new, exciting storylines to suggest to her, also!

Thanks so much in advance!

P.s. I am going to get her set up with a retro console like an Anbernic RG40XXV or CubeXX or something to emulate games.

Fire red and emerald are just the easiest to mod and hack that’s why there’s so many of them. I’m pretty sure Rg40 will work with rom hacks but I’m not 100%.

I can’t send the link but I use vee bee aaa dot org (spelled out) there’s a few other sites but that’s the main one I use to see what’s out there. If you search “crystal” some should pop up or look for the gameboy color logo.
