The thing is, there's a very scarce amount of Kalos Pokemon that can be found. The only other one found beside them is Klefki, which is a DexNav encounter on Route 113. I guess it's because the others can be easily traded over from X/Y anyway.
Also, I've noticed that a lot of the Pokemon obtainable through the Mirage Islands and DexNav are Pokemon that were absent from the Kalos Dex in X/Y. There's a lot of Sinnoh and Unova Pokemon mostly found through these methods, but there's some Kanto and Johto Pokemon found as well.
And in case you missed what I mentioned earlier about DexNav, the DexNav won't work on the tall grass. It only triggers the encounters in the normal grass. Routes 119, 120 and 123 only have the tall grass so those areas don't have DexNav encounters. I wasn't expecting them to change Route 123's grass entirely, because if I recall that route had the normal grass in the originals but yeah now you know.
Route 118 and 121 have both normal and tall grass, along with the Safari Zone. The wild Pokemon in the Safari Zone differ between the normal grass and tall grass, but some appear in both grass types.
Speaking of wild encounter changes between the originals and OR/AS, it's interesting that Kecleon only appeared on Route 119-120 in the originals but it can now be found in five different routes (all of which coincidentally have the tall grass). Surskit is now more common than it was before, with it now appearing in a few more areas by using Surf.
