Solid game. Unfortunately, despite Kanto overexposure being a real problem, I can't help but feel this remake could use a remake. While I can understand the dev's rationale behind the barring of gen 2 and 3 evolutions like Crobat, in a post HGSS world, it stings a bit. It'd also be nice to have the physical special split, it can't be understated how much that change did for the series. But for its time, it's a really solid game, with great spritework and one of the better overworld map designs across the series being the highlights.
