>Expanded dex available in the underground
Awesome, what a great way to include more mons and add a new layer to hunting for them

>distortion world is now a single corridor
Awesome, it was already. Now it's just less annoying to traverse it.

>lvl 100 origin giritina battle
Fucking awesome

>affection mechanics
Awesome, now the games are starting to actually feel like an rpg. Great step in the right direction.

>No Looker or Charon
Good, they are "literally who" tier anyways.

>no megas, zmoves, or gigantomaxing
Good, those gimmicks all jumped the shark and switching them out with following pokemon and the affection mechanic was a great choice

>endgame legendary park
What a great way to include them and what a fun way to battle them. I love the personalized rooms they all have.

Battle tower
>Dope! The battle frontier was never something I liked anyways. By this point in the game, I'm only battling my friends in our own tournies. Nice of them to supplement it with such solid gym and e4 rematches though.

>early game mew and jirachi
Hell yeah.
