Whole land is based off Australia, New Zealand, Pacific islands but it's divided into three regions and one secret region (alas, Sevii Islands). Two halves of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific islands as the secret region.
The game takes place in a couple centuries in the future, with new kinds of technologies and stuff.
At the start of the game you can choose one of these regions (not including Pacific islands), and once you beat a region's Pokemon championship, you'll able to choose to move on to a new region and still able to come back to the previous regions.
Openworld-style gameplay, but still limited to separate routes. However, routes are much more bigger now and have secrets in it.
No actual villains in these games. However you have to defeat a group of cheaters intent on claiming on Pokemon League as their own throughout three regions, they have no intentions on destroying or reclaiming the world since that everything has been improved since the last game.
Pokemon variations introduced, they will have certain features unique to each region to make things fresh rather seeing same model each time.
Improved models and more vibrant colours, along with new animations.
To able to keep your pokemon as you move along each of the regions without getting your team being replaced, the level cap has been expanded to 200. To accommodate this, evolution chain has been expanded to 6, just to keep things new and interesting when using your own pokemon rather than getting bored with it's same form for a long time.
About 200 new pokemon for each region (except the Pacific islands), bringing up to 600 new pokemon for this generation.
No new types are introduced, however some types are renamed. Fairy - Mystic, Steel - Metal, Dragon - Beast
Battle frontier and Pokémon Super Contest are brought back and Pokéathlon as well
Pokemon who is in the first spot of your team can follow you in overworld and able to interact with it.
