>Biggest region to date with 2 mini regions
>You can actually see pokemon out in the overworld instead of having to deal with boring random encounters
>Characters are kino, they all have their arcs and good designs
>Best gym system in the series, actually trying something different by making it a big deal and changing the elite 4 to a tournament where you fight 6 trainers instead of 4

>You can camp and cook by finding ingredients, adding more personality to each pokemon as well as 151 curries of content

Does this make up for what it removed? You decide.
