The game's themselves are ok. They are faithful in some area and in other they're not. The reason way im giving the game's a sold 3 is because: Nothing new was added to the story lure wise, It's easy to over level and gain happyness and that would made the game's easire, there are a lot of bigs gliches and a few soft locks, and a walking and runing animations for a certain pokemon was super bad, the game shiny charm only effect egg which was a stupid flaw/decision if it was one, and contest may have been spead up but still felt souless compared to the original, then there the weird camera jumps when you lose a battle, And lastly despite having some short of connection to Legens of Arceus these games lack what that game has: I.E. Platinum character, and mons that go pass gen 4. But these games do have a few good qulity like egg prodution and hatching is faster, the chibi style is cute in some angles and the grand underground is fun.
To be honest it pains me to see how they just did these games. Knowing very well that fans wanted to see gen 4 in a new sparkling and brilliant glory.
