I just finished another run through on my OR (now trying to get shiny legends) , I even will go on sprees where i'll go through one of each generation of the games since i still have all of the main series games but 3). There's different methods then US in shiny hunting, like dex nav that also as you see them more you see more of their stats before you encounter them like their nature,egg moves, 1-3 31 IV stats(way easier then poke radar in past games). The story's great and more in depth then the original and once you get the eon flute you don't need fly anymore and get to soar on Latios' back around the map. the graphics aren't that much different i mean yeah your character is a little more chunky and you can't customize them but it's a remake.
