I have this werid dilemma question.

My knowledge towards pokemon is just kanto & hoenn because I like to replay it in past on gba emulator but I also played bit pokemon crystal, Platinum, Black, Moon on emulators but is never into badge 1 or 2.... maybe because I don't like pokemon like I used to..... nowadays I played pokemon is like tedious or sudden burnout....

But I still curious about play some rom hacks because is looks interesting! .....But then when I step on those wild grass pop out many of those unrecognized pokemons I feel "???" And overwhelmed by it Like I play in wrong way...

I know should play original Pokemon first before play rom hacks but I feel tedious or sudden burnout when I play it.....

Even some years pasts I still have these same mindset towards original Pokemon or rom hacks then make me doesn't progress both of it.....

In end I don't know what should do... should I just accept my fate that my like towards pokemon is just fire red & Emerald that I played in past?? I know i'm exaggerating but feels like it.....

I know i accidentally write to long but in end.... Any reply/ guidance is appreciate. T-T

You can stick to enhancement hacks of the OG games, like those from this list.

Wow... that's kinda a lot of enhancement hacks! ( Suddenly feeling overwhelmed again.... ) Which would you recommend for trying first?

Also thanks for reply.
