A common complaint I saw with them was they were Diamond/Pearl remakes, not a Platinum remake (since Platinum had so many improvements).

Even then, every remake that came before it added something more to the originals than just a 2D sprite to 3D model conversion. Even if they had included the improvements from Platinum, it still would've felt lacking because they added nothing to justify buying and playing the remakes over the originals. Not even the National Pokedex was expanded beyond what already existed back in gen 4, so you couldn't even get the novelty of playing with your newer Pokemon in Sinnoh.

I guess I'm more upset about this than I realized, but to ILCA's credit, none of my complaints come from the perspective of the game being poorly coded or full of bugs.
