It seems this board has quite a problem with thinking that quality=quantity (HGSS and fascination with wanting a game with all regions just to list a few examples), which is absolute bullshit. This game isn't as bad as the bitter shitheads like to think it is.
The music was brilliant, the characters were done much better, and the storyline was a much needed improvement on the other games which was 90% pointless Guild filler and painfully obvious plot twists even a five year old could see coming miles away.
Who cares that a lot of the Pokemon were removed, you wouldn't even use more than a few of them anyways, same with the incredibly stupid argument that you can't recruit legendaries. Why the fuck would you even want to recruit a legendary? And features like hunger really didn't have to stay, all that did was take up an extra inventory space and didn't add anything to the games at all.
It's not the greatest game but it's still better than its predecessors stricktly because to the things that it DOES do are executed a lot better than they were in the previous games.
