They're alright. added DexNav, added new megas, made contests fun, added mirage islands and the overworld flying which I really appreciated.
They're kinda lackluster other than those things though, it's nice seeing Hoenn in a 3D environment, but that's not really enough to warrant a remake for a game that was already fine.
They're in-between R/S and Emerald for me, they improve upon R/S but removed a bunch of bells and whistles that Emerald had added.
That being said, if the Battle Frontier was added in, it would've improved them ten fold. Because while they still wouldn't be as content filled as Emerald, at least they would have a fun post-game.
