AZ?

[megalatias365]

Amyone remember that tall guy in pokemon x and y. You battle him after you beat the elite four. He is all like :unworthy: when he finds his flebebe. Any theories about him?

 

[Kelleo]

What's there to theorize? His story was revealed at the end of X/Y. He was the king of Kalos that built the ultimate weapon and such. And it was a Floette, not a Flabebe.

 

[Team Gaara]

And he's 3000 years old because the weapon also gave him eternal life~ He's also Lysandre's ancestor~

 

[Garren]

And his name might be Azoth, right? Because they mention that name in the bookshelf in the Aqua/Magma Base when talking about the weapon iirc.

Maybe so. The clearest connection is that in XY, one of the files in Lysandre Labs explains the significance behind AZ's name; that the A represents "the beginning," while the Z represents "the end," which is exactly what one grunt in the Magma/Aqua Hideout says about the first two letters of AZOTH. They didn't know what the other three letters represented, though.

Interestingly, that same kind of symbolism crops up two more times in ORAS as well; obviously with the names of the games/the symbols of the Primal Reversions (Alpha and Omega), but also with Aster and Zinnia, whose names begin with an A and a Z, respectively.

However it's interesting that, for example in the german version of the game, both their names begin with an A (Avelina and Amalia). You think this means anything, or maybe there is a version where both names begin with Z?

 

[LordSeliph]

What don't we know about AZ that we already do? That's the hard part

 

[Morningstar]

AZ is certainly an enigma. He was ultimately connected to Team Flare and the Ultimate Weapon, but We never found out what else he did as king, why did hid Floette die and that else he did on his 3000 year journey beyond explaining Mega evolution to the Draconids.

 

[Esserise]

why did hid Floette die

I assumed it was from fighting in the war.

That seems obvious but we never gotten anything specific beyond the war thing.

Yes, but in fairness it's not as if they were going to say, "Floette was then violently skewered on a soldier's spear. Blood seeped out from its gaping wound until the last few traces of life faded from existence, leaving its tiny corpse behind." They just needed to say enough to get the point across, and that is true for the entire exposition on the war.

Good point. This is marketed as an all-ages game, kids included, so its not like we'll see Call-of-Duty level gorn in this series.

"PRIVATE SNIVY, WE NEED BULLET SEED FIRE ON THAT METAGROSS! GET THE TM!"

"Fifty thousand Pokemon lived in this route...now it's a Ghost town. I've never seen anything like it."

On a more on-topic note, I hope that when(if) we get AZ's Floette as an Event Pokemon, it has an event like HGSS' Celebi, where we could go back in time and see not only ancient Kalos but a better viewing of the Ultimate Weapon's creation.

That would be a very huge IF. Right now for allwe know the Eternal Flower Floette is there as placeholder data so that a certain scene would not crash the game, as it is it can only be obtained by hacking (I should know, my sister powersaved that Floette over both of her games). And as it is if there was something akin to Celebi's event, wouldn't you think other hackers would have found it like they did Diancie and the spoiler legendaries?

 

[Pork T]

In one of the castles in Kalos (I forget which one, I always mix them up), there is a painting of the builder of the castle, and when you interact with it, it says that the portrait looks like AZ. Maybe he was the king of Kalos and possibly built the entire region.

Even funnier that Gen III takes place at the beginning of the Pokemon timeline and X/Y take place at the end.

If that's true, then why the heck would Game Freak give it its own signature move?

What the? They gave it its OWN Signature move?

Yeah, that's actually been known for quite awhile. The move's name is Light of Ruin.

Well, that changes everything. Maybe we can expect the Floette in an event (prolly involving some adaption of AZ's backstory either in the movie, part of the Mega-evo specials of the mainsteam anime a la Episode N)
