* In previous games, defeating the Elite Four and the Champion, you only become the champion in title only. Here when you beat [[spoiler:Professor Kukui]], you become the ''real'' Champion of Alola. Everytime you beat the Elite Four afterwards, it is your duty to defend your title as the Champion from incoming challengers.
** While most of the challengers are old faces with few new ones, there is one who stands out amongst the others; [[spoiler:the very first Youngster you meet in your journey. Yes, ''a seemingly random npc trainer who serves as your first foe on your journey is one of your ultimate challengers!'' Well done, kiddo.]]

* The animations for the Z-Moves are a spectacular sight to behold.
** Special mention goes to Hydro Vortex, where the user traps the target in a massive whirlpool while striking it repeatedly.
** Snorlax's unique Z-Move, Pulverizing Pancake, is especially awesome. The move involves Snorlax finally waking up and opening its GlowingEyesOfDoom, running towards its opponent, and {{Goomba Stomp}}ing it.

* '''Hyper Training.''' In other words, the ability to ''increase the individual values of a Pokemon.'' Did you roll a bad IV when you tried to hatch a Pokemon? No problem, you can give them 31 IVs (the max) for the measly price of a few Bottle Caps. Goodbye, ScrappyMechanic!
