Generally fine remake that has a lot of positive quality-of-life changes but still can't compete with Pokémon Platinum in terms of content.
+ faithful adaptation bringing out nostalgia for the old story and world
+ similarly impressive post-game and side-content
+ HM moves don't need to be taught to be usable
+ fancy world map with a shortcut to Fly
+ fast and good-looking battle animations
+/- divisive graphics overhaul with a mix of chibi and anime art in and outside combat
- practically zero innovation or boldness at display
