What I liked about the "third versions" is that I felt I could skip the originals and just buy one game that had the best value.
I only played Yellow, and not Blue/Re/Green. Only Crystal. Only Emerald.

This expansion lets you continue your save file though, so that's something new I could see myself enjoying.
What I don't like though is how the expansion isn't universal for both versions, but follows the trend of the original Sword & Shield in having substantial content differences, enticing players to double, or in this case, quadruple dip, if there are rivals/trainers etc, in different versions that they like.

The differences between the base versions in the older games were essentially just different pokemon you could catch. But you could just trade for those pokemon.
On that note, it's good to see they're adding some previously cut Pokemon that everyone can trade for.

ORAS had different story variations so the differences here are nothing new.
