With XY turning 12 this year alongside ZA revisiting Kalos what were some of your favorite generation 6 features?

Hopeful that a fair amount of these return form. I know gen 6 while not the most disliked gen tends to not be to up there with the most beloved generations. While there are lots of things that I felt like should've been done differently I do want to be a little postive about remembering the game as I felt like a lot of QOL features and modes were the best in the franchise

The entire bottom screen is probably the best in the franchise. Super training allowed for you to casually EV train pokemon you were going to use during the main story instead of making sure that your pokemon only defeated the ones giving the desired EVs. Pokemonamie was cute and I remember enjoying to see how some pokemon acted in it alongside the decoration of the bottom screen, only complaint is not turning off the passive buffs as even without EXP.share, XY is one of the easier titles. P.S.S is probably the best multiplayer in the franchise with how quick and simple it is and it was always a bit of a thrill to see passerby's flying across the bottom screen.

Player customization while not perfect was a nice feature that I'm glad became a mainstay. Especially the option for more skin tones as I was in like 5th grade and found it cool that I could make my character look more like me, even if I'd rather have a skin tone slider

ORAS also brought some new things and I remember looking for grinding secret bases to quickly fill the pokedex. While most games since have some legendary collecting postgame I felt like the mirage spots in ORAS were my favorite as not only were there some minor ones which could get extra TMs alongside pokemon you normally couldn't find and the extra requirements needed for the legendries made them feel a bit more rewarding. Dexnav was the coolest thing as I remember creeping at every possible wild pokemon to see if they were carrying some rare move or had their hidden ability, one I remember was a personal challenge to get as many hidden ability pokemon alongside the pokemon that only showed up after stopping the box legendaries making me want to comb through each route
