These remakes were definetly what I was expecting and more
They fixed my 2 biggest problems with the originals (that being the hms and how slow the game felt at times) and while its sad that a couple of things from platinum got omitted, atleast the vast underground let's you catch pokemon that were in the platinum dex such as gligar and houndoom

These remakes were definetly worth the wait and they did a great job reimagining my favorite generation of Pokemon
Just wish that unlocking the ability to battle the legendaries in ramas park wasn't such a pain in the ass
