Changes I liked
>Following pokemon
>Pokeathelon
>(Most of) the graphical changes
>Literally everything they did with kanto, god it's so beautiful (picrel)
>Route 47 and 48 and the safari zone (Fuck you I liked it) are nice additions that make a few post game only pokemon not post game only.
>The sheer amount of personality they gave all 16 gym leaders with stuff like being able to see them interacting with the world and being able to call them, and even getting rare trades from some of them
>A lot of the finer things like the legendary dogs being trackable right away, being able to fly to the pokemon league from anywhere, etc
Changes I didn't like

>Mallville and le overbearing amount of loading screens

>Free latias/latios? With a fucking megastone? Shoehorned right where the (originally) most fun stretch of gameplay was? Fuck that
