*** The Meteorite plays a larger role in the game, particularly for the Delta Episode as a means for Rayquaza to Mega Evolve in the official storyline. Because of this it can no longer be given to [[Professor Cozmo]] in return for {{TM|27|Return}}. TM27 can still be found in [[Pacifidlog Town]], though.

** Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} now joins the player's party during their trip to Southern Island, instead of being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in the post-game. An [[Eon Ticket]] is still required to return to Southern Island and obtain the alternate Eon Pokémon.

** The [[Sootopolis Gym]] puzzle has been updated with some new features.
*** Since the 3DS system includes the Circle Pad, it is now possible to use it to travel diagonally across the ice.
*** Once the player climbs the stairs after passing a given puzzle, the ice in the previous puzzle will no longer crack, making it possible to traverse that puzzle freely without having to redo it.
*** The lower part of the Gym is now freely traversable, lacking any ice so that all Trainers there may be faced without having to fall strategically from above.
** Whereas in Emerald, [[Professor Birch]] would reward the player with their choice of a [[Johto]] {{pkmn2|starter}} upon completing the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], now, he will give it to the player when he is found on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} after the Delta Episode is completed.
