Stick to ROM hacks. They don't have the "smartphones and other devices" cuckery attached to them and usually have what the community wants.

Want Meganium to not be fucked over left and right? ROM hacks.
Like the QoL additions the latest gens brought like Ability Patches but not the NEWP quality of the games? ROM hacks.
Tired of Pokemon of certain types having cookie cutter stats? ROM hacks?
Tired of Pokemon not being able to learn moved they should have? ROM hacks.
Tired of buffs being popularity contests and only being for furries? ROM hacks?
Tired of shitty cutscenes that can't be skipped? ROM hacks.
Tired of Nintendo's shit? Pirate the games.
