I though HGSS was kinda shit because the gameplay was stupidly slow and it was a remake of what I considered possibly the weakest entries in the main franchise (overall, anyway -- several other titles moved the needle less in terms of the Pokemon they added, etc)

In general, I've been kinda split on the remakes. FRLG was amazing and, although I'll play RB for nostalgia, I prefer FRLG. Conversely, I'd rather play GSC or RSE over their remakes (although ORAS is alright, it just doesn't do it for me).

I never really got the HGSS praise, but I always suspected it was nostalgia from people who started with gen 2. Personally, I thought gen 3 was more or less exactly what I wanted from the franchise, although I enjoyed gen 6 and, to a certain extent, gen 7.
