I’m preferably looking for a fan-made game that is Pokemon as the new Pokémon games suck, I tried to play legengs z-a and it felt like a group of middle schoolers made it on limited resources, it was pathetically low effort.
But feel free to list me other games non pokemon. The only rule is it has to be 3D and Fan made. This can be Nintendo DS, 3DS, Nintendo 64, GameCube, Wii. (Not switch).
I already read the rules of this group. They said discussion of pirate games is OK but you can’t send URL links, so just tell me the name of the game if you know any
Breaking the 3D rule you set, there is Super Mariomon. It’s a romhack for Pokemon Emerald that does a complete conversion to into a Mario based monster hunting game. The story, the map, the monsters, all 100% replaced. Because it isn’t Pokemon, the creators took some fun liberties on some of the core concepts of Pokemon like gyms. They also masterfully mined Mario lore to fill out a full dex of 151 critters.
Don’t quote me on this, but I believe it should also be compatible with https://pkmnclassic.net/ which includes online WFC features such as:

I quite liked Legends: Arceus (pirated ofc) and will likely enjoy the new Legends game too. As much as it sucks to ever defend Nintendo, those two games in particular are exactly what I’ve been wanting: a Pokemon game that isn’t the exact same game for the 17th year in a row.
I haven’t actually tried Z-A yet, but L:A was really good imo.
I’ve noticed. Compared with their subpar games nowadays and the lack of freshness in their catalog. I’m not really feeling them anymore I’m playing Kirby air ride on dolphin more than anything
Emulating the classics, or playing them on real hardware might be the way to go, and not getting things like a Switch 2 or later (maybe a Switch, since you seemingly own the games you have in those cartridges, and not some DRM-heavy license where the developers will revoke it at any one time).
I’ve played some romhacks, so I get that part too. Otherwise, fan-made projects or romhacks would be much better nowadays than the slop that’s made today.
There’s a lot of undisclosed AI usage in modern games, and they won’t tell us in any storefront that doesn’t require AI disclosure.
I don’t think it’s strictly 3d, but I’ve heard really good things about Cassette Beasts. The gameplay looks good and the art is cute.
TemTem on steam is 3d through and through. I played it forever ago and it was rather enjoyable as a Pokemon breakaway. There were some fun synergies. However it’s apparently kinda gone downhill since launch, so I’m not sure how worthwhile it is
Been enjoying Pokémon Odyssey, which is a bit like Made In Abyss crossed with Pokémon. It’s got a full quest log and a huge dungeon and great story to explore. I haven’t played too much of this, but I have loved the hour or two I played through.
I also enjoyed Pokémon Scorched Silver, which acts as a Johto sequel and has a huge dex of mons up to Gen 9.
Because I’m a huge Emerald fan I have to shout out Pokémon Seaglass. It’s got a retro artistic feel to it. All the sprites are basically demakes and go back to the classic Gen 2 style. There are also battle backgrounds, following Pokemon, dexnav, and some balance changes, such as letting the Light Ball work for Raichu and Pichu.
Odyssey is the most unique, but Seaglass is really polished. Scorched Silver feels like another mainline game just with a huge dex. It still retains some of the level cap issues for the original GSC games I believe.
Link to the Past Randomizer - Generates a shuffled ROM with all chests and items swapped around, sending you on a wild goose chase through Hyrule trying to find everything required to beat Ganon. Has a LOT of settings to play around with.
Link to the Past/Super Metroid Combo Randomizer - Like the above, but with both games combined into a single ROM using some elaborate witchcraft. Certain doors take you from one game to the other, and the item pools are shuffled together so you’ll have to go back and forth between Hyrule to find Metroid items and Zebes to find Zelda items. It’s a bit imbalanced by the fact that LttP is a much bigger game than SM with far more items and locations, but I recommend playing through it once for the sheer novelty.
Celeste Mario’s Zap & Dash - A metroidvania running in SMB1’s engine. As the name suggests, it’s heavily inspired by Celeste and ports in mechanics from that game.
Standalone fangames:
Panel Attack - Open source clone of Panel de Pon/Tetris Attack/Puzzle League/Puzzle Challenge/oh my god Nintendo please pick a name and stick with it featuring netplay and modding support.
AM2R - Another Metroid 2 Remake. Do note that I’ve heard a big 2.0 update is supposed to be coming soon, so you may wish to wait for that.
First time ever I’ve seen someone complain about Pokemon on lemmy. Only other time I saw Nintendo complaints was a couple of posts about Mario Kart during the Switch 2 launch.
I’m so damn sick of the bitching about fun games I’m trying to enjoy.
Most of us here aren’t braindead consumers who throw money at even subpar media, much less Game Freak slop. Could probably guarantee you most people on lemmy probably haven’t touched a Pokemon game since they were a kid.
It’s like a McDonald’s Happy Meal. It’s a targeted cheap product designed to make money.
If you think people should let you enjoy things in peace, you should let people not enjoy things in peace. And if you would shut the fuck up and read, maybe you’d find more games you could enjoy.
If I had a penny for every time a loser went on lemmy/reddit to bitch about someone bitching about nintendo/pokemon, I’d be a motherfucking billionaire.
I will never understand why you goddam losers spend so much time obsessively discussing bitching about bitching a brand you claim to hate.
Please downvote and block me if you don’t like what I’m saying. I’m so damn sick of the bitching about bitching about fun games I’m trying to enjoy.
Because Pokémon fell down hard after Gen 5, and has a lot of unrealized potential. It could be great if Nintendo actually cared about delivering a good product.
inb4 “akchually Pokémon games are developed by Game Freaks”
Nintendo has the power to tell them to fuck off if their games continue being worse and worse every year, but don’t.

Nintendo tries extremely hard to keep the number of fan made games to a minimum

I really liked cassette beasts and coromon! There’s a couple others I loved too but can’t remember the names.
Pokémon Gamma Emerald is still in development but has a playable demo out now. It’s more of a HD2D style game, but I think it technically counts.
I only really know good 2D games. If you want those let me know haha.
Might as well. What are they?
Pokemon uranium is playable on PC, I don’t think it works in consoles. Played it long time ago so I don’t remember how good it is though.
I don’t know how easy it would be to find though since Nintendo shut it down.
Pokemon Infinite Fusion is probably one of the best out there imo
My favorite rom hacks are mainly Emerald based.

Ever play shiny gold? That’s the only one I’ve played scorced silver seems interesting. Bringing newer gens to 2D. I’ll keep note of that one
