BDSP failing to address a lot of the glaring issues from the original titles just goes to show that nostalgia should take a backseat to quality of life changes.

Gameplay is still slow, and the story and region is still incredibly dull. Single-use TMs suck. Clock/Calendar-based random events that needlessly draw out the play time. The poketch's lackluster implementation.

All of the suitable content stems exclusively from changes they made from the originals. Underground caves, updated moves and types, the expanded regional and national dex, revamped Elite 4 and rematches, and hidden moves. Hell, I actually personally appreciate the EXP Share since battles are so slow that I don't feel like subjecting myself to grinding out pokemon levels one-by-one. That being said there should still be some kind of toggle for it and for the affection system for those who don't like those features.

We should have more reimagining of the worlds through remasters like ORAS in the future. HGSS are okay, but most of their praise comes from fixing all of the mistakes in gen 2, rather than trying to be unique in their own way.
