Undecided recommendation: Pokemon Fusion Generation
No, it's not a romhack. Many poor fools did their best to reconstruct Pokemon in RPG Maker, and they actually succeeded. I'm not sure what their SAN ratings logically have to be at this point, but they succeeded. So somebody used those packages to make a fangame with several 'Fusion Pokemon' running about.
May not play more than a few hours of it because A) I have better things to do, B) the encounter rates for some Pokemon are infuriatingly low, C) I have other games to play, etc. - but if you have some spare time and you're low on cash, it would make for a decently fun FR/LG takeoff. My obsessive-compulsiveness with catching all the Pokemon in an area, however, interferes with my enjoyment. :\
(That said... it's a Pokemon game that's not a ROM. It does fill a niche if you have ethical objections to emulators.)
The download link is here. Costs you nothing to try it, anyway. :P
