I also like the idea of a longer story more rivals hitting the gyms and doing a few sidequest wraping up an entire region gets kind of old quick more rivals like jackson when i first enteracted with jackson i lost it first pokemon game ive played where you actually have a rival who was a straight dickhead and that being said i was able to get a few other people to start playing because of the fun enteracations with jackson so multiple rivals more of an indepth rivalary would be cool as well
