Pokemon Z?

[TomGuycott]

I'd mainly want a Russian themed area for the chance to have a gym leader based on Soda Popinski.

Have Soda Popinski be the player's dad.

I'd rather the player's mom be a gym leader before repeating the "your dad's a gym leader" rigmarole again.

X and Y went through the trouble of giving the mom a somewhat interesting backstory (I think she was a Pokemon racer), but to my knowledge they never really DID anything with that. I'd love to see them at least have her ride in some sort of story related element if they do this Z version.
