How is this game improved over the original?

Pokemon ruby/sapphire/emerald were my favorite pokemon games and a large part of my childhood and I'm thinking about buying a New3DS Xl when I can find one cheap.

So I get that there is more pokemon and better graphics, what else? Are there new locations in the game we can access? Are more pokemon obtainable in Hoenn? Would I HAVE to own pokemon x/y to complete the pokedex? That would suck. Is the game any longer/harder? Are there people cheating using gamesharks for their pokemon online?

From what I've seen:

-great soundtrack similar to the original

-great graphics for a pokemon game

 

What else should I know without spoiling anything too much?
