> Region DesignI like how it's structured around Lumiose City. You can basically go anywhere on foot since it's the central hub of the map. Makes the place feel more connected and easy to traverse post-game. There's also a-lot of places to just sit down and chill there. The cafes, the art museum, the restaurants, the big, multi-story hotel...Even the Battle Maison is kinda comfy, with tables, couches and snacks laid out for guests. The whole Region just has a lovely atmosphere.
> UI designI think the UI is the smoothest in the series, with all your menu buttons and multiplayer stuff being built into the bottom screen. I liked how you could switch between different apps too. Sometimes I want online, maybe other times I want to do some mini-games with my bros in Amie, or do Super Training. Playing SM after Gen 6, I felt so restricted with Rotom Dex always being on the menu.
> PersonalizationYou can change the Battle UI, switch around the menu tabs, decorate the home screen with Amie, and of course customize your outfits. I think this was the last game to have those custom PC Wallpapers too...All these little things make the game feels more like "mine".
> Battle Modes RIP Triple/Rotation Battles, which were some of my favorite modes to play in. BW1 didn't have many opportunities to try them, and they were removed from SM altogether. Inverse Battles were also gone if I'm not mistaken, which is a shame.
