Hello, I have a question. Do you think it would be nice if the games dwelt a history of the pokemon world for example like it came to be or at least touch upon it? I feel the games could do better in world building which is an understatement. Also, pokemon x and y has great sales I hear. Nearly 12 million. This leads me to wonder. Will Game Freak use Z as a remastered X and Y or some kind of direct sequel this time?

Well, X and Y kinda do – the history of Kalos, at any rate.  I mean, half the plot is based on a 3000-year-old backstory, and a lot of NPC dialogue dwells on the rights and wrongs of the old monarchy under AZ’s family.  Lysandre’s research notes in the Team Flare lab also contain some interesting speculation about the origins of inequality in ancient society – he thinks it’s all to do with Pokémon training.  I love that stuff because I’m a history person.  Any time they want to do more, though, they won’t hear me complaining.

I don’t know what they’ll do next, but I actually kind of want to see a prequel, because I think Lysandre would make a lot more sense as a character and be a much better fit with what they seem to be trying to do with him if we saw more of his past and saw some of the events that led to him going off the deep end.  That’s just me though.
