I liked the remakes too. They added a few new things to them besides just graphics updates. I also like the conversion to the new battle system, with physical/special separations within types and such. It was pretty cool and nostalgic to replay it, as it really felt like the old game again. Everything came back to me pretty quickly. Right now I'm doing a Nuzlocke challenge in my HG version just for fun . I liked this Gen the best anyway because you could play all 16 gyms and travel around alot more.
