No platinum content, no national dex (beyond gen 4), glitches and bugs galore, no sylveon, no regional forms, no new megas, no turning off exp share, no soul. These games are nothing more than a nostalgic cash grab. "In addition, as I mentioned a little earlier, we've been greedy in the amount of gameplay elements we've squeezed in there. There's so much included that I even had colleagues saying to me: "Are you sure you should be going this far with a remake?" In that sense, its not simply a remake - I think it is more than that." Morimoto, Director of HG/SS. Remember when remakes were actually improved upon and had tons of fan service? none of that is found in this game, whatsoever. In comparison to the past 3 remakes we've gotten (not including spinoff LGPE) new gameplay mechanics implemented, the national dex (which included every Pokémon up to its current generation) and so much love poured into them. Sure ORAS wasn't the best but at least you could use megas and gen 6 Pokémon. Don't bother looking at the concept art, which would've easily boosted the score given the modern non-chibified art style. Just play platinum.
