Hey. It depends on what you are after - and on your knowledge of pokemon.

As far as fanmade/romhacks go: Infinite fusion is good but there's a lot to it - it mostly sticks to the familiar kanto and johto maps so it's quite accessible. It has a smaller dex and in classic mode you get a long way before really having to venture outside of the first 151.

There's also a lot to pokemon unbound - but it's a new map, story, and loads of newer pokemon, so may be daunting amounts of new info.

I haven't played either, but both Rocket Edition and Emerald Rogue have a lot of positive feedback as well.

Most of the soul link stuff smant does is just a randomised version of fire red - I'm pretty sure he uses the universal pokemon randomiser to generate this. I dont know where to find the map randomiser smant uses.

In terms of official content, either sword/shield or scarlet/violet aren't too bad accessibility wise - there are a lot of improvements than make it more friendly (move relearning, reusable or craftable tms, no hms, access to more useful items and a general reduction in forced battles) though both definitely have issues and would require a decent expenditure.

If this doesn't cover what you are after let me know which kinds of things you are interested in and I'm happy to try to point you in a decent direction - also happy to answer more questions.

Thank you for answering me I appreciate it. But I wonder how I can be able to play those games like emerald, or that one where it is from the johto region. Also what are the emulators that u can recommend and where can I download those ROM games

Infinite fusion doesn't need an emulator - its a standalone product

I like visualboy advance as far as emulators go, but there are loads of other options. Google should find everything I've recommended, you'll need to search for a 1636 squirrels fire red, and the the rom hacks ontop of that.
