If the overlap you care about is “new Emerald region with a coat system and a 2026 release,” none of the other rows match that pair. If you care about a larger roster, the cited wiki and Radical Red overview describe one, with counts that depend on the source and build. I am not telling you which file to patch first.

Questions

Is Pokémon Monomyth the same as Unbound?

No. Unbound is a FireRed hack set in West Borrius. Its wiki lists 809 Pokémon. Monomyth is an Emerald hack set in Athanto.

Which one is harder?

I am not scoring difficulty. Radical Red’s public write-ups call it an extreme FireRed hack. That is their wording, not a test I ran.
