When should a rom hacker..
 
When should a rom hacker expand the game? Why expand it? Is it needed or entirely optional? What are the pros and cons of expanding the game?

Obviously when you need more space than usual and it's optional but I have never done any expanding thing on my rom.

usually people expand their roms if they are adding new pokemon or new sprites, cuz there is not enough free space to do it without expanding

Using firered there's no need unless you're planning on making your hack excessively huge, nearly half of FR is just free space so you shouldn't run into any space constraints.

Don't expand unless you absolutely have to. When you reach that point will depend on which ROM you're using and how you're managing the space you have. If you're not doing any hardcore additions of graphics/sound, you will likely never have to expand.
