  Decompilation of Pokémon Emerald

  

In the gen 3 games the message box text is copied to an array called gStringVar4. You can look at the symbols branch of the decomp for the game you're using to see where in memory gStringVar4 is. For example it's at 0x02021fc4 in emerald. You should be able to read the string from there. Keep in mind that the games use a custom character encoding).

  Decompilation of Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen

  

One way around this is to just work directly with the decomp, which is basically the game in its raw files. Rather than adding in the command "playsound" to every script, you'd probably be able to edit the "msg" command itself to add the functionality to play a sound as well. Here's a link to the decomp if you want to look at it. As for the technical bits, I can't really help you with that; I don't have that much experience in dealing with the decomp. Someone more experienced might be able to help you. There might be discords for rom hacking but I'm not aware of any.

  A curated list of Game Boy Advance development resources

  

(developing?) GBA emulators, romhacking without decomps and romhacking with a decomp are wildly different topics. There isn't a single resource that can teach you all of those, but knowing how the GBA works is useful for all of them. Gbadev.net has a nice list of links that you might find useful. I'd recommend starting with the technical introduction and then reading the Tonc tutorial series.
