>>37482103>The Battle Frontier is excludedBecause barely anybody used it and Emerald was panned on release and sold like shit, so clearly nobody cared about it in the first place.

>bike challenge is removedGood
>Granite Cave is altered so you're forced to backtrackYou already were in the originals

>Game Corner is removedBlame gen 5
>PokeMarts and Pokemon Centers are separatedNitpick
>HMs are back to being as annoying as pre-gen 5 gamesIt's a remake lmao, what the fuck
