As remakes they were fucking terrible, they went ahead and unironically used the "Ruby and Sapphire remakes, not Emerald :^)" excuse to skimp out on content that absolutely should have been in the games (and I'm not just referring to the Battle Frontier). Thanks to that incredibly retarded decision there now isn't a definitive version of the Hoenn games.
