A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

ROM hacks of gen 3 games are pretty fun, and the most up to date ones are very high quality.
-Pokemon Gaia is my favorite, still feels like a classic pokemon game and its really polished. No postgame yet though, there's a big update thats been "coming soon" for a few years, but the devs say they're still working on it.
-Pokemon Unbound is by far the most complex pokemon game in existence, with content up to gen 8, side quests, mechanics from later games, and tons of postgame content. Also a more "adult" storyline, although I think that actually detracts from the feeling of a pokemon game
-Altered Emerald and Polished Crystal, if you want to play expanded versions of official games
-One that people usually recommend is Pokemon Glazed, but i don't really like that one. It's a big game but the balance and pacing of it is way off.
