DexNav was one of the best features the franchise have ever seen.
I didn't care much for Secret Bases, but I know a lot of people did, so that was definitely something it did well.
Primal Reversion is freaking awesome. It may just be a gimmick, but the new Groudon and Kyogre designs are amazing, and the way it was implemented into the story was really well done.
Which brings me to the story. I personally really liked it. I found it awesome and interesting, and despite the characters being two dimensional and the rivals doing shit during the entire game, the actual events and progression was well done. I also adored the Delta Episode.
The backstory was awesome and much more interesting than in RSE. I'm still mad that Rayquaza didn't get a Primal, especially since there's a fucking plothole where giving it a Primal would have fixed it perfectly. The way the backstory ties in with the Kalos backstory was really nice too, I love it when different stories are interconnected.
The characters were still much better than in XY and RSE, despite being a big waste of potential. Their designs though, were GOAT.
I personally don't like Mirage Spots and the Hoopa Rings, but I have to admit it added a lot of content and post-game "things to do", as well as making it easier to obtain everything you want to obtain without trading with older games.
And the underwater routes were simply beautiful. I already miss Dive just for that.
The Battle Resort, though being absolute garbage and nothing but a dumb copy-paste and a cock tease, did have the best Day Care we've ever had in the entire franchise.
I think that's it for now. There might be more, but I dunno about it right now.
