>"In addition, as I mentioned a little earlier, we've been greedy in the amount of gameplay elements we've squeezed in there. There's so much included that I even had colleagues saying to me: "Are you sure you should be going this far with a remake?" In that sense, it's not simply a remake - I think it's more than that."

Well lads, here's definitive proof. The DS era was the last era in which GF put genuine effort into the series. Here we are folks, Gen 7, and nothing has improved since the mistake you all consider 6 to be. Going to 3D was a mistake, the golden age is gone

Agreed

Weird how HGSS turned out to be the worst remakes in the franchise, and gen 4 failed to improve the series mechanically except for a half assed Physical/Special split, compared to the huge mechanical advancements made by gen 2, 3, 6 and 7.

Ya'll can shit on Gen 2 remakes, but this game made that year bliss

All that content, and he didn't bother to give gym leaders, team rocket, or the Elite 4 decent teams.
Thanks for Pokethlon and the worst Safari Zone in the series, though, I guess.

Their biggest flaw was being too accurate to the source materialalso
>not playing Sacred Gold and Storm Silver
>>31608815
But the worst Safari Zone was ORAS'.
>>31609455
Please, how can ORAS has the worst Safari when it doesn't even have a Safari to begin with?

FR/LG is considered a bad remake?
I get it's not Emerald tier, but for the first remakes, I think they did a pretty good job, it had more pokémon, revamped E4, E4 rematch, post-game, mid-game extra content and many pokémon catchable plus the minigames and the wireless shit back then.
It probably only lacked a battle tower or some shit like that.
