As someone with ADHD Pokemon fan games have been my thing, especially side loading them to my phone.
Pokemon Infinite Fusions has by far been the stand out, filled with endless "ooh, but what about this?!" Moments. It's a new, fun twist on the classic Kanto story, and even features Johto as an absolutely massive post game. It's the only one I have to play on my PC though.
Pokemon XenoVerse is great as well, unique designs, a compelling story and a surprisingly well balanced new type. This one works very well on phones except for Pokemon centers becoming T H E V O I D.
Pokemon insurgence has been the latest to join my collection. It's far and away the most maturely themed Pokemon game I've played (though I've heard uranium is more mature) I'm not finished yet so I can't comment on quality. In lieu of fakemon they opted to instead create a massive number of Delta species, a take on regional variants which have all been interesting at the very least. It's the one that runs best natively on my phone, with only the occasional glitched text

Currently gets quite some hype, rightfully so IMHO. Neat diverse gameplay loops, fantastic mood & humor, all around good game. Has several progression mechanics that tickle the Pokémon receptors. Also very light RPGish upgrade paths.
Might be worth a look.

I can't recommend Disgaea enough. 5 was the one that I played and I feel like has the right balance of nearly infinite grinding vs interesting content vs reason to actually grind, with also having a relatively achievable and observable ending. All the games follow the same basic gameplay premise so pick the one you like, I think D2 has a lot of old school fans and 6 was poorly received. Disgaea 5 as far as I know is the fan favorite "modern" Disgaea game.
It even has a demo if I recall so you can try it before committing to it. Just know that the demo can only go into the very basic gameplay loop because an awful lot of things are locked behind the first 10 or so hours of story gameplay. But if you like the loop (and the general gist of how the gameplay works, that will remain) then it's totally worth it. It's a game that one could easily sink 2,000+ hours into if it catches their fancy. It's also a game that's easy to pick up and put down because they're always some bit of something that you can do. An hour spent anywhere doing anything will get you a bit of an upgrade, and you just pick the things you like and craft them into the most obscenely overpowered bullshit you could ever conceive of. Stat points regularly reach into the quadrillions. By endgame you're expected to have spells that destroy the entire battlefield being spammed multiple times per turn. It's loads of fun.
I've never seen an ending to a disgaea game and I've been playing every one since 3. I get so caught up in the grinding that I never end up playing through the main story
a bit of an investment but i've had fun with the 3D PvZ games!
