Plus they include a lot of QoL which the older games naturally don't have! Not to mention the strong benefits that the 3DS games (moreso ORAS) have over the other games for hacking - no sticking to overworld tiles when moving (ORAS), importing/exporting and editing models, animations and textures > sprites and tilesets (a more flexible option, plus some people may prefer this), native Mega Evolution, the battle engine which is already updated as far as gen 6, native DexNav, lighting and a camera to work with, and the fact that the games have a really nice charm and generally look really nice since they're fully 3D.

(If you don't know what I'm talking about, see here and moreso here.)

You've probably seen the recent posts in this sub that indicate that BDSP have been made using the Unity engine, which, long story short, means that once they're released we will basically have an engine that's as good as a 3D decomp, if not better, and a way of bridging fan game and ROM hack development.
