>>32501815It didn't improve anything at all besides the characters and Secret Bases.
Music was worse.
Aesthetics were worse (though in fairness it came out at a bad time, DP remakes would have the benefit of looking like Gen 7).
Maps were worse, especially the ones that got cut down to nothingness like New Mauville.
It included NO Emerald features besides stuff that got adapted into every future game and a few things they hastily crammed into the Delta Episode (and some of those Delta Episode portions were handled horribly, the Mossdeep Takeover being the worst offender).
Dexnav was pretty great too as a new feature I have to admit, but overall I would much rather play Emerald.
