>>51731396>trainer customization existingWhy bother when I'm looking at my Pokemon for most of the game, ball capsules are better
>ranked online existingWe'll see how smug you are about that when 3DS online shuts down. At least you can get online in Gen 4 (you do need an old WiFi type and to fiddle around with DNS settings though)
>drastically better pokemon distributionYeah, although I'd argue XY goes too far in the other direction.
>pokemon actually have animations instead of being static .pngsAnd a lot of them are awful, I'd rather take the PNGs at that point
>battle facility that has singles, doubles, triples, rotations, super singles, super doubles, super triples, super rotations on top of an additional battle institute while DP only has a battle tower with singles and doublesHalf of what you listed for XY are shitty baby modes for retards, and you left out multis entirely. You also ignored the fact that XY removed WiFi mode from the previous games, which was a re-creation of the very first Battle Tower in Japanese Crystal, despite XY's apparent focus on online.
>drastically better engine speedYeah, shame XY's framerate tanks in battle whenever there's more going on than two Pokemon doing nothing with 3D off.
>drastically better QoL in general especially with breedingShame it also comes with things that make the game way too easy if you engage with any of the systems.
I hate DP, but at least I have an emotion about it unlike XY.>>51731690DP's physical/special split was a pretty big improvement, I can't really think of adding anything else to the game without fucking it up majorly. The DS titles were already fairly balanced, why change what's not broken? Of course, there's a bunch of minor changes you can make, BW had a lot of those, and even XY addressed some balance issues BW missed/added. But XY didn't really need Megas, and while Fairy as a type is more arguable I think it was overtuned and they've not balanced it much since.
