The Ultimate Guide to Pokémon Fire Red, Leaf Green, and Randomizer ROM: A Comprehensive Overview
Of course, the word "Better" is subjective. For a new player, a randomizer would be a nightmare of broken progression (imagine needing Flash but the only Pokémon who learns it is a legendary that fled). The randomizer is "Better" only for the experienced masochist—the player who has achieved mastery and now finds mastery boring. pokemon+fire+red+leaf+green+randomizer+rom+better

Why this is better: Because Brock might have a level 14 Anorith. Misty might have a level 21 Lanturn. You cannot prep with "Water types beat Rock types" because you don't know what types you will face. You must adapt, pivot, and survive. Not a ROM, but a program that randomizes your own clean ROM
A Randomizer ROM is a modified version of the original game ROM (Read-Only Memory) that has been altered to randomize various elements of the game. This can include:
In vanilla, Brock is a Geodude/Onix pushover. In your "Better" randomizer, due to "Similar Strength" logic, Brock’s team reflects the average BST of his original team. He might have an Aron (Rock/Steel) and a Larvitar (Rock/Ground). Your Elekid’s Thunder Punch does nothing. You need to explore Route 22 (now spawning Grass-types like Hoppip) to counter him.
By using the Universal Pokémon Randomizer with the "similar strength" logic, impossible evolutions fix, and randomized field items, you aren't breaking the game. You are modernizing it for your mature gaming palate.
