>>48266102>Lipstick on a pigSorry, I think you confused it with Emerald.
>Unnecessary remakes now that GSC are on 3DS.They improve upon GSC in every possible way, mechanically and in terms of fun. Pokewalking is objectively the best feature ever introduced into the franchise, and like everything else Gen 4 proceeds to shit all over the half-baked attempts previous games (Yellow) made at it.
>>48266106>nobody can even explain what makes them good outside of "muh following pokemon"Brings the improved mechanics from gen 4 to Johto
More to do in the postgame than the originals
More to do in Kanto than the originals
The rocket admins have names, unique faces, and personalities making the fight more personal.
New areas to explore overall thanks to the inclusion of Rock Climb
New events not only give you access to new areas and more pokemon, but you also get a new battle on top of that and more story/lore via the Pichu event.
The ability to toggle running shoes instead of having to hold the button down
The ability to grow berries in your inventory instead of having to grow them in fixed places
A functional safari zone with a fun new set of mechanics to differentiate it from the shitty one in RBY That only exists to get a couple of HMs.
A new area, the pokeathalon, with new gameplay features.
A national dex with over 400 - almost 500 - pokemon in it as opposed to the pathetic 251 in Gen 2 which is mostly shitmon
Better graphics make it more clear what is what and adds to the impact of story events such as the Lake of Rage.
Following Pokemon not limited to a single shitmon (pikachu) which is the best feature the franchise ever added to the point it's coming back in the nearly 1:1 remakes for Diamond and Pearl because they realized how great of a feature it was.
