How anyone would consider those Diamond and Pearl remakes acceptable is beyond me. Comparing them to Link's Awakening is absurd: The original Link's Awakening was a Gameboy game and the Switch remake looks a generation above what they have shown us with these Shining Diamond and Pearl. The original DP is a DS game remade into a low 3DS quality game. Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby look way more polished that these remakes, I can't believe it.

Now add that to the fact that they are hinting to skip the Platinum content like they did with Emerald and possibly only have the original 492 national dex from DP.

Because you are confusing an art style you dislike with competent gameplay, which is more important, and capability of software. I can understand why people are put off by the art style, by that it is trying to do a 3D take in the original games is more than fine with me. 
The comparison to Links Awakening is by no means absurd - despite one being much older both original games are 2D games remade in 3D and the remakes have similar art styles. The comparison is very valid. Again, using ORAS as a comparison boils done to the art styles used for the 3DS versus those on the Switch.

Also bear in mind the ORAS had content (specifically the Delta Episode) that wasn’t in any of the originals. Decent chance something like that happens with BDSP.

Bold of you to assume I dislike Link's Awakening artstyle. I actually like it, which is the reason why I liked it in the original DP games, which also had it. Soooo... These games apparently have same (or almost same) artstyle as the originals, not a striking difference in graphics quality (outside of battle animations which we know everyone praised on SwSh) and also doesn't seem like they will add a lot of new content outside of a DLC-like expansion. Sounds like a remaster more than a remake.
