Not quite what I was asking

I’m always amazed at the amount of pokemon games that don’t shake the basic formula too much and still find success, despite a lot of complaints online being about “stale, formulaic game”. Guess all they need is actual story variety

I guess it does, probably the only well known half life fangame that “got gud”, thanks in no small part to Valve giving them the greenlight to make it a commercial product

That sounds counterproductive, but I’m not a company exec, so what do I know

Yeah, I excluded romhacks because the sheer amount of pokemon ones would dominate the comments, either them, Super Mario or Mega Man

I also saw from Pokemon Unbound’s release post that they use “FireRed Upgrade” which is a considerable work on top of the original

It’s one of the rare cases of a fangame that actually gets finished and is good. The soundtrack alone is worth a playthrough. If you enjoyed Undertale, UTY will feel like a game that fits perfectly in. It works as a prequel and you’re the yellow soul kid (fully non canon, though the pacifist ending could work as canon)

18 in a week sounds very doable, 3 a day isn’t much and you finish in 6 days.
