Best of the Pokémon main series remakes, if you ask me; not only is this in a better region than FRLG and HGSS, it fixes a lot of the problems that were present in Ruby/Sapphire on top of adding some cool bells and whistles to the experience

Both of the earlier remakes did that too but this game only really needed the bare minimum to make it actually truly awesome (the bare minimum being the improvements brought by the later gens), where as Gens 1 and 2 have more problems holding them back than just their age

It sucks that this game omitted a lot from Emerald though, which is why I slightly prefer that over this game, but Steven is also better than Wallace so I guess I can't complain too much
