Having caught up with XY&Z I just have one question.

Why did the semi-competent Team Flare not make it into the actual game itself? They actually posed a threat, and weren't campy to the point of being retarded.

It sure feels like a lot was left out with X and Y's storyline, and the whole Xerneas/Yveltal "plot" was just tacked on at the last minute. I really hope whatever work went into "Z" made it into Sun and Moon properly.
