>Hard mode and easy mode, with easy mode being 1:1 the battles from XY so even normal mode is an improvement mechanically
>Major revamps to the gym leader and E4 teams so I can actually remember anything about them, also rematches
>More mazelike and less straightforward in design, especially caves and gyms
>Buildings in the desert become accessible
>Anything else teased but inaccessible I'm forgetting about becomes accessible
>Southern Kalos postgame region, similar to the island off the coast of sinnoh, features a plot where Lysandre's backup plan in case of his failure is initiated by the elite 4 chick implied to be part of flare and Sycamore, E4 girl is replaced by a new trainer in rematches
>Battle Frontier or some sort of equivalent like the Pokemon World Tournament, any hard fights that aren't just a battle tower
>In-game events for the mythicals, more impressive locations for legendaries like Xerneas, Yveltal, and Mewtwo, more legendaries available post game
>Gen 6 Pokemon actually get fucking megas
There, gen 6 is now on par with the DS gens
