>>45341530They are remakes of original ruby and sapphire, with little weeb retouches to the story and characters (which are way more memorable than in the original). Emerald elements are present only in the post game quest (Delta episode) as fanservice. The region is exactly the same as the original, with some modified areas (especially mauville, but also sea mauville, granite cave, and other minor areas). Megaevolution is shoehorned in the games in a kinda lazy way, it could have been integrated better gameplay wise (only Maxie/Archie and Steven use megas iirc). Dexnav is amazing, Naviplus is great in general. Soaring is beautiful. Mirage areas are nice but it can be annoying to wait for the one you need to spawn. Contests are a lot casualized but still a fun little thing. Secret bases are a blessing. Also, last game with a national dex.
