Back in 2005, it was still a solid game on it's own that focused on preserving old RGB experiences but updated to the new gen 3 graphics, engine, as well as adding on some bits of content, even with how sparse it was. It's at least a little different from ORAS and it's attempt at cutting corners + how ugly some parts of the game looked in 3D.
