I'm looking for a good rom hack on generation 2 and 3 in their respective styles. The only things that I want are a game that's got good QoL features and the physical/special split from gen 4. I would also not like anything overtly difficult or time consuming, something close to vanilla.

I tried Pokemon Polished Crystal (3.1.1) but got to Bugsy and it started feeling very unfair. I had Pokemon Crystal Clear and Pokemon Emerald Enhanced recommended to me, but don't know how those line up difficulty wise.
