I imagine that by "randomizer script" you mean general randomizing capabilities, yeah?
You have 2 options, you can either merge TheXaman's tx_randomizer_and_challenges branch into your project, or you can manually implement the code changes from this PR of the Pokeemerald-expansion, though I would suggest you only consider that after the PR has been merged. You have no idea what changes could be made to the PR as a result of the Pokeemerald-expansion's mantainers' reviews after all.

For palette randomization, you could merge Citrus Bolt's helios_color-variation branch which applies hue shift to sprites based on species constants and tweak its code or constants.
