From TV Tropes and its Pokemon Nightmare Fuel page:
And the fact that the Pokédex knows that this will happen implies it has happened before. Anyone notice how empty the Kalos region is in terms of unique Pokémon? Or how a good chunk of the Pokémon are ghosts... it's happened before, killing everything in the region, removing the original species. All the Pokémon in the game are either new species, legendary, or imported from different regions.

The 'happened before' thing here refers to the bit in the Pokedex where it says it absorbs the life energy of every living thing around when it's life is nearly at its end.
But yeah, the implication is that it may have made near enough all the Kalos original species extinct the last time it attacked. There's certainly a lot more ghost and dark types in this dex to go with it, but they're some of the only ones...
There's also the rumour that the next versions might have you revisit an earlier version of Kalos before the event occurred, hence introducing new Pokemon that weren't in X and Y without them seeming out of place.
But what do you think? Did Yveltal wipe out most of the original species in Kalos sometime during the events before the game, hence explaining why only 69 new species exist? And is it possible the next versions might bring back some of those 'now extinct' Pokemon by letting you revive them or go back in time somehow?
