I think one of the biggest problems with Gamefreaks remakes are they treat it as an exact 1+1 remake. While good, remaking a game should give developers an opportunity to strengthen their game. They could add more towns, different gyms, different characters. Let's Go (for all its flaws) was brave enough to diverge away from being an exact 1+1 remake of yellow.
Barely. All they really did was swap out Red, Green, and Blue for Chase/Eline and Trace and replace the wild battling with Go mechanics. I'd hardly call that "brave", that's actually the laziest way of diverging from RBY. There were no new towns or gyms added, the only new Pokemon were a Go exclusive event Pokemon and its evolution, and aside from swapping out protagonists and a Mina cameo there were no new characters either. You want to talk brave, BW2 is much braver in terms of adding new content. I do think remakes are too copy/paste and they could stand to take more liberties, but LGPE is a very poor example of the direction they should be going, BW2 is a much better example.
