Would you like to see some sort of in game content explaining the villainous team leaders’ history? For example, Ghetsis might’ve been part of a “museum” type thing where he could’ve easily located people of wisdom, of technological intellect, and legends pertaining to the Unovan legends?

I think they’ve already started to play with that kind of concept – things like Black and White 2′s Game Sync, which gave you access to a whole bunch of extra scenes with N and other characters, both major and minor.  Likewise the time-travelling Celebi event in Heart Gold and Soul Silver, although that’s not quite the same thing because it allows the player to actually get involved in past events.  I do believe there’s room for more of this, though – in particular, I think we really need to get more of Lysandre’s backstory before the sixth generation ends, because until we get a clearer understanding of what it was that drove him to breaking point he just doesn’t convey the kind of moral ambiguity they seem to have wanted with him.
