>>25131381The ability to choose a harder difficulty before you start the game. Nothing like that shit in B2/W2 where you have to unlock the difficulty. And have it make the game REALLY hard, and not just a minor buff to trainers. I mean, it doesn't have to be a complete reworking of the whole game, but more than "trainers pokemon are a few levels higher".
Better customization. Not exactly your physical trainer, maybe more skin color choices, but above all else more clothing and hair style choices. Males only had like 3 different kinds of clothes per category (IE shorts, pants, and there were only three hair styles/colors. At the very least, male and female trainers should have the same amount of clothes; not to mention that I'm sure the 3DS can handle more than 30 clothing options and 3 hair options.
More interaction with your pokemon; Pokemon Amie is a start, sure, but just rubbing your stylus on your pokemon and throwing randomly colored circles at it is mindless and easy. Certain pokemon should need certain kinds of care, and certain pokemon should need certain kinds of food instead of just blindly rubbing on your pokemon and throwing cupcakes at them.
An endgame.
I wish the shitty cell/dog/robot formes never existed.
Megas for pokemon that actually need some sort of buff, rather than just to whatever might look cool.
No freebie pokemon, and especially no freebie legendaries.
