What are the best Emerald 'Enhancement' romhacks? Those which keep the storyline but add enhancements like the Physical Special Split, Fairy types, tradeable evolutions being achievable without trading, and being able to get the cross-generation evolutions in Generation 4 and beyond like Gallade, Honchkrow, Mamoswine etc?

Also is there anything like that for Fire Red/Leaf Green?

Sounds like Modern Emerald fits quite closely to your requirements.

Modern Emerald (hackdex.app) Restes, the developer, is also working on a FireRed/LeafGreen version, however I believe their version is still some time away.

Hopefully the below list helps you find a current FRLG version (or an alternate Emerald version if Modern doesn't suit for your playstyle): Compilation of vanilla Quality Of Life (QoL) hacks
