These remakes (and third versions), while they may be great, do lose steam more quickly than other games in a generation, such as Diamond & Pearl. It's because most people have already played G/S/C so they pretty much know everything there is to know already. But when it's the start of a new generation people will still be discovering stuff. I have over 200 hours on my Diamond from when I was just playing around on it, months of time spent on it. But with Platinum & SoulSilver, I barely got in a couple months on them.
This is why I plan to ignore as much B/W info as possible to I'll still have a few surprises to discover.
