>Equal to or less than the number of new pokemon in XY
>Low number of post-game legends to hunt because of all the legendaries available in ORAS
>Zygarde takes the third legendary slot because of the cell side-quest
>Not even some kind of approximation to the elite 4 to battle
>More gift pokemon and less trade pokemon
>Defeated Totem pokemon gift you their un-evolved/single-fish form after you beat them
>Trial captains gift you an unevolved version of their signature pokemon after you beat the trial
>There is a chance to encounter a pikachu on every single route of the game
>The game also gives you another free Pikachu (Unless this gift Pikachu knows surf by default then this is acceptable)
>Non-transferable pokemon ala Spiky Ear Pichu and Cosplay Pikachu and so on
This one I wouldn't be sure how to feel about, but
>Mega evolution removed, but when a pokemon that COULD mega evolve uses a Z move, it mega evolves for the duration of the attack before reverting back
