Note that we will be updating this list in the future with new titles, so make sure to check back once in a while. Nintendo DS games run pretty smoothly on both platforms, however, I faced frame drops in my MacBook Air (2017 edition). In this list of games, we will be showing you the best Pokémon fan games that introduce new ideas while staying true to the spirit of the original games. Fans often modify existing games to create “ROM-hacks” along with original fan games that introduce new creatures, stories, and even gameplay mechanics. Some of the more passionate and technically-skilled gamers have even created their own Pokémon games. That is why a majority of Pokémon games, at least the mainline series, feel somewhat timeless and capable of appealing to a wide demographic of players of all ages and backgrounds. But Japanese developer Game Freak has always made sure to adhere to a specific structure when creating new entries. With Pokémon, you know you can expect a game centered on catching, battling, and raising a massive roster of 800+ different creatures. The games are remakes of the 1999 Pokmon Gold and Silver, but on top of that, they bring in features from Crystal and a whole host of new features to improve the game’s experience. For years, Pokémon has managed to capture the hearts and minds of fans with its consistent yet addictive gameplay loop. There really is no competition here: Heart Gold and Soul Silver are regarded as the best Pokmon game across the board.
