>discover the routes are actually fun because they have good pokemon variety and different encounter methods instead of spamming the same two shitmonsah yes the most fun route in the entirety of pokemon, kalos route 1
>discover the pokemon all have multiple unique animations that give them way more personality and characterso instead of standing there staring and facing left, they're standing there staring and facing right? whoa...
>discover I can directly interact with my pokemon instead of them being soulless .pngs sitting in my partyand in doing so make an already piss easy game even easier
>discover I can play optional minigames to train my pokemon right from the start of the gameand in doing so make an already piss easy game even easier
>discover the game is well paced and actually feels like an adventure instead of being a soulless boss rush where you finish all 8 gyms within 10 routesthis only applies from gyms 1-3. 4 onward are exactly what you described
>discover I can customize my character and earn style points to unlock more stuffhaving agp is not a selling point
>discover all the hidden optional replayable content in lumiose city like the hotel and restaurants and back alley trainer battlesbut where's things like the battle factory
>discover they added depth to all these old mechanics like berry mutations and fish chaining and destroyable objects in battlesnobody used berry farming
chain fishing only made shinies (which were already made easier to find compared to before) piss easy to get
nobody cares about those objects in battle unless it happens by accident
>discover neat little soulful details like zangoose attacking seviper or sudowoodo hiding among trevenant in horde battleswhich becomes a pain in the ass if you're actually trying to catch the pokemon that's getting attacked
>discover I can actually play triple and rotation battles in the postgame facility this timehow do i play wi-fi battles in the maison again?
