What is your idea of the "definitive" way to play a Pokemon game of any given gen?

Do you prefer vanilla; the game just the way the developers released it?

Do you prefer romhacks that generally keep to the confines of the base game with just some easier access to pokemon/different enemy teams/basic quality of life stuff like say Drayanos older hacks such as Sacred Gold/Storm Silver?

Or do you prefer hacks that completely overhaul the game, adding in new mechanics/moves/pokemon from later gens, adding in extreme changes including qol stuff like say Inclement Emerald?

Or do you have a different idea of how a game is best experienced?
