Lets pretend it's 2014 and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire have just been finalized, and we're told down the hall that the team making the new and exciting Pokémon games project Rainbow (to be revealed as Sun and Moon) would like a little more development time and want us to pump out a new version for 2015, allowing them to push out Sun and Moon in February 2017 after spending the 20th anniversary year hyping it up. And the project we make to pump out is, obviously Pokémon Z Version.

Using the ideas that had already been tossed around, we decided that reusing as many assests from X/Y as possible would be the best, while making changes to the story to improve it (a common complaint about XY was it's poor story). We can also import the PokéNav Functionality from ORAS and heck, why not Soaring as well?

Here's the changes I would have made.
