Were Heartgold and Soulsilver good remakes?

In your opinion did you enjoy HG/SS? Do you believe it lived up to it's originals or was it a tad bit disappointing for you? Why or why not? Let's take a quick review of HG/SS.
Heartgold and Soulsilver were both released back in March 2010, for the DS. It was a remake of the classic GBC games Gold and Silver. New fun features were added, graphics were beautiful and the music in general, catchy. There was a lot to love about this game, many said as it brought back nostalgia and more. But, you might think differently or do you agree?

So discuss away! Did YOU think HG/SS was true as they said, a great remake? Or do you think, it's rubbish and an awful game? Please include reasons while you're at it <3.
