7 gig in 30 minutes, that's some internet speed.
Hmm I see. After seeing the list of changes that you said they made, it would have been possible had they made it a third game like Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum.
I'm guessing from your response the designs for the main characters and rivals have changed? They did the same for Fire Red/Leaf Green. And the main characters' designs in the manga also changed to that of the FL/LG sprites too. So the change in sprites I think is meant to show progress in story, but most people wouldn't know unless they read the manga.
Animated sprites were like a revolution for Pokemon games xD
Riolu. Train it properly and into Lucario and you have one of the best Pokemon in the game that isn't a legendary.
Once again, enjoy~
