That's pretty much the only difference. I have tried to replay HeartGold so many times, but the combination of Gen IV speed and Gen II selection and level curve always stop me.

Remakes always have problems since they are based on outdated games (see the endless packs of poochyena and zigzagoon in ORAS), but the Gen IV remakes had the unique position of inheriting the worst of both the old and new problems of their eras. Best to just skip them and play the Gen V games instead.

Ash is going to win this time, I think. He has the most powerful team he's ever had, made completely out of fully evolved monsters. He's mastered the synchro stuff with his Greninja and its Ash form. Plus, we seem to know all the entrants into the League this time, and they're all people he's fought before, so no stupid surprise entrants like goddamn Tobias. (I will refrain from giving my rant on why Tobias is the loving worst.) It honestly feels like they're leading up to an Ash victory this time. I just can't see them screwing him over again with the build up they've given us.

Though, given that they've got five months before the new gen comes, they could buck the trend and actually let him win to face the Elite Four. He'll lose naturally, but it would be an improvement over the usual filler meandering.

Pikachu, Ash-Greninja and three flying pokémon (Hawlucha, Talonflame, Noivern) I suspect the most of the remaining time before moving on to Sun/Moon will be spent on the Squishy/Zygarde core plot, though.

Man, so I don't watch the anime and I never will, but everyone always goes on about how Tobias is the worst because he caught Legendaries or something. Why, beyond that, is there such a problem with him? I want to hear the rant.

That was Tobias.

Emerald is pretty fun even if you've played omega Ruby or alpha sapphire. Emerald made a bunch of changes and added some cool stuff that sadly wasn't carried over in the remakes

Why, beyond that, is there such a problem with him? I want to hear the rant. Ash was set to win the Sinnoh league. Like, all throughout the season they had built him up as the skilled, badass trainer that be should be at that point in his career. He had a drat good set of Sinnoh monsters, most of them fully evolved too, and he was also rotating them in and out for his older monsters. Charizard, Sceptile, Heracross, even his Cyndaquil came back and evolved just for the league. Then he fought Tobias in the semifinal match, a trainer who had next to no build up (whereas before all of the trainers Ash had lost to in leave tournaments had at least an attempt at building them up, introducing them to Ash, etc). Tobias ripped through his team like it was nothing. His team, for the record, was Sceptile, Heracross, Swellow, Pikachu, Gible, and Torkoal, a pretty drat good team. Tobias' Darkrai ripped through most of them, then when Ash finally beat it, SURPRISE ITS MOTHERFUCKING LATIOS TO TEAR THROUGH EVERYONE ELSE. It wasn't even close to being an even battle, and it didn't even get a two parter. It was just Tobias tearing apart Ash's team without even breaking a sweat. It was dumb and I'm still salty about it.

It's all they've ever done and I firmly believe it's all they'll ever do. It's partially why I stopped watching the anime; the producers revolting hard on for the status quo. And that status quo being despite all the lead up and hype Ash will somehow someway lose as he's ALWAYS done. If they in fact do let him win something and hell maybe get a girlfriend in Serena, literally loving ~ANYTHING~ other then the same old poo poo, then I apologize. edit: God I'm a bitter old pill.
