Any recommendations for this? I’ve been pretty guilty about just using emulators to play and replay Pokemon games and Pokemon ROMhacks.

I do happen to have just been gifted a R36S as well. So far I have really only used it to play Pokemon Crystal for about 15 minutes.

I'll recommend in a different direction. Abomi Nation on Steam is basically like if Pokemon were built around Nuzlockes challenges. Often goes on sale for only a few bucks. It doesn't have any real Pokemon, but I really like the designs.

If you're looking for other games to play, check out RetroAchievements. They have all kinds of events and stuff to reduce the "decision paralysis" that can come from having access to way too many games.

It's worth it for a few minutes, but it's obviously made as a quarter muncher. I was like 5 credits in by the time I got to that thing. I didn't go much further.
