Very good, solid Pokemon experience. In saying that, the GBA mechanics were hard to adjust to again, and the story was better than in base R & S, but not quite as good as in ORAS, a lot of which was due to the improvements in characterization those games made. The Gym leader team change-up was good, but the change from Steven to Wallace for Champion is dumb. The Battle Frontier was definately one of those 'you had to be there' type of deals though. Not bad, just, I'd already done the ones in SoulSilver and Platinum, y'know. Still a great time, maybe not the masterpiece a lot of people claim it was. Gonna replay White next because The Pokemon Company refuses to put any of these games on NSO.
