Pokémon AlphaOmega and RubySapphire

[Koh]

I can't help but feel like this is the laziest of their remakes from all the information I've been hearing. FireRed/LeafGreen not only brought Gen 1 up to the current standards and fixed a lot of the issues with the original games, but also added a lot of new content, extended the story, greatly improved the visuals, improved the Gen 3 engine further and were still compatible with the Gen 3 games. HeartGold/SoulSilver did much of the same, but adding a heck of a lot of new content, improved the mechanics and interface of Gen 4 vastly, and were still compatible with Gen IV games. Now I'm being told the engine is a carbon copy of X and Y's with no improvements, no visual upgrades and no compatibility? What, is it too much work to actually give a damn this time around?
