>>23463992>No BFAgain, fuck "reasonable expectations" - they were never hinted at or mentioned at all in pre-release material. People fed into each other's hype.
>no customizationThere wasn't customization in RS either. It'll be back in the new games.
>no gym leader rematchesI'll give you this one.
>hardly any new areasMauville was entirely re-invented in an interesting way. Also, we went to fucking space. Plus, Hoenn was varied enough on its own that I wasn't left wanting any new areas.
>Pokemon is only about the post game>implying Episode Delta wasn't fun anywayAlthough it was terribly spoiled.
>And HGSS had a Battle Frontier despite neither being in GS.It was literally ported from Platinum to HGSS. That's almost definitely the only reason it was in - because they just had to copy/paste shit. There wasn't a BF waiting to be implemented when these are among the first games for the system.
There's also the whole "yearly released schedule" thing, for better or worse. I don't like it much myself, but I'm sure as fuck Nintendo loves the money it rakes in.
>Your expectations are just low as fuck and you're wondering why people somehow can't expect a non shallow remake.>Normal expectations that don't feed into circlejerking hype are "low">HGSS wasn't just as shallowThere was barely anything fixed in the actual game. Things were just piled ontop of it.
