XY's terminal fault was being a 3D game designed just like the previous 2D titles, it had all the right ingredients to be great, but it was horribly underwhelming, dull and generally dead. No added difficulty or some tedious sperg-bait after the league could fix this. It needed overhauled mechanics and new features to make everything seem truly alive.
I don't know much about the development process in detail, but they probably could have done a lot better with closer cooperation with Creatures on modeling and animation, and taken some extra time to make things right with an SS-style dex cut followed on by OTA updates/DLC as what is happening now, or a longer development cycle with heavy teasing to keep people interested.
XY could have been one of the best in the series if they really put their all into it.
