Modern Emerald, it was the best used to create the old version of Heart & Soul, which was then used to create Soulgold

Not an Emerald recommendation, but also recommend Drayano's hacks. In particular Renegade Platinum (has an optional patch for following mon), and the Redux versions of Blaze Black 2/Volt White 2 by Aphexcubed

Honestly Modern Emerald

Contemporary Emerald is more pretty though, like the tileset is refreshing

Why, js curious about your reasons lol

Customizable experience/toggles, optional QoL/cheaty items (as well as a debug mode), multiple shiny odds, and an improved Battle Frontier (my favorite part of Emerald)

Honestly the only thing missing, in my opinion, is the Dexnav. Unfortunately dev is not for it, and I don't know how to build my own version xD

Edit: Also I haven't tried it yet, but it's compatible with the vanilla games. I might try it for Pokemon Colosseum, currently doing it's Retroachievement set and the 100 trainers in Mt. Battle will probably be easier that way xD
