I did a brief search online but couldn’t find exactly what I’m looking for. Basically I’m looking for versions where you can, say, play FireRed but are able to catch all 150 Pokémon with all of the trading/“choose on of these fossils”/version exclusives eliminated, so that you can complete the Pokédex yourself on one save file.
So far I’ve found a bunch of cool looking ROMs that are total fan made games with new regions, able to catch all 900 Pokémon or whatever, which look awesome and I’m gonna try them at some point, but atm I basically wanna live out my childhood dream of “catching them all” which I could never do as a kid because I didn’t have multiple friends with game boys and Pokémon and link cables and all that stuff.
QOL adds are a bonus but what I’m looking for is pretty basic, surprised I couldn’t find it.
I actually found a romhack that does exactly that lol, it's Pokemon Unbound. But the original source for the ROM is a total no-go since they were taken down by Nintendo, what else is new. It featured every pogey up to gen 7.
