1 month agoI’ve played through both. The switch versions are very faithful to the originals, with a few things that stood out to me as different:
The bikes are implemented differently, so some of the bike puzzles can be easily cheesed.
Fairy type is present.
The underground has been redesigned to focus on catching Pokemon instead of multiplayer.
Elite 4 rematches are much more difficult.
There are a variety of small improvements throughout the game otherwise, so I think it would be fine to play these ones. If you want to experience both versions of gen 4 in some way, you could also play Platinum on the DS.
My general philosophy for how most people would use the map is “where are things and how do I get there?” With that in mind, I usually focus on adding stores, amenities, and other bits of infrastructure that people are likely to interact with, as well as making sure the roads and sidewalks are accurate.
I don’t always feel like working on these things though, so there are some days where I will just map grass, trees, fences, or whatever else I find interesting at the time.
