>>24826717All the flaws that Gen 2 had, including but not limited to:
>Terrible level scaling>The worst region layout in the series with monumental HM abuse>Almost all new Pokemon are locked to the postgame or so useless you wouldn't use them>Bland, rehashed starters>A feeble abortive attempt at overarching plot with the least credible villains in the series>Regional trio that rehashes the Birds as Gerbils>A Pokedex composed almost entirely of rejects from Gen 1. Literally Pokemon scraped out of the recycle bin when they realized they needed to rush out a sequel.In addition, it added its own flaws not present in GSC, including but not limited to:
>A butchered version of Yellow's Pikachu that rendered every Pokemon utterly generic>A terrible new minigame that most evolution items were locked behind>Compositionally inferior versions of GSC's songs that ruin the ambiance of several areas>A rehash of Platinum's battle area rather than anything fresh or relevant to the original Battle Tower>Gen 4's horrendous load and save times, and a battle speed that crawls along, making this one of the hardest games to replay>shoehorned Legendary Pokemon from other regions with no explanation simply to give it a sell>gimmicky pedometer peripheralOverall, they're okay games, but far and away the worst remakes Pokemon has yet seen.
