>>34975039I played Crystal for the first time this year after the 3ds port came out, and I had never played a gen 2 game beforehand. I don't feel nostalgic at all about this game, and I still think it looks and sounds way better than the remakes.
There is a difference between more technically advanced graphics/sound and better art direction. The remakes lost all the charm the original games had, and the same thing happened to ORAS.
Pokemon aside, remakes in general tend to feel soulless compared to their original games because they are usually made by different devs. Some recent examples of this are the Crash Bandicoot remake and the Secret of Mana remake.
