Pokémon Glazed is one of those fan-made hacks that actually feels like a proper Pokémon game—just with way more going on. You start in the Tunod region (yeah, never heard of it either), and right off the bat, there’s a weird dream sequence that hints at some bigger mystery. The usual Pokémon stuff is here—gyms, wild battles, rival fights—but there’s also this whole parallel world thing later on that gets kinda wild.

Beta 3 adds a bunch of polish, like better sprites and smoother gameplay. The starters are a little different too—you’ve got your usual grass/fire/water trio, but also some unexpected options if you’re feeling adventurous. I went with the Totodile line because, well, Feraligatr never disappoints.

It’s still a beta, so don’t expect perfection, but for a fan game, it’s surprisingly well put together. Just watch out for the occasional glitch if you’re grinding too hard.
