From what my friend showed off of it to me when it came out, it's a lot more seemless catching/fighting Pokemon now and he really loved not having to run through grass to do all that anymore, let alone griding. I think some of the grassland areas didn't look too bad graphically in person either, but he did agree most of the criticism about it looking like low-res ass was warrented. Aside from LAZ, I'd be curious to see if the rest of the Poke games'll get S2 Edition visual overhauls, assuming it's not just a res bump.
