So are we not going to talk about how modern-day technology in ORAS is also powered by Infinity Energy? Mr. Stone confirms that the Devon parts were part of a motor that helped Submarine Explorer 1 run on the stuff, and we know that the Mosdeep rockets are fueled by it, with the Episode Delta rocket containing more energy than AZ's ultimate weapon.
How exactly was this energy harvested? Was there a "cleaner" source? I know in DPPt, Rowan mentioned that Galactic studied the energy released from Pokemon evolution. Did the Devon Corporation somehow fit their Pokeballs to capture the excess energy in the MEvo-universe? That wouldn't be as harmful (if at all), but then Zinnia still mentions that using the rocket would involve a lot of sacrifices, and Steven basically says "What choice do we have!". At the time, Steven didn't know about alternate dimensions, nor did he believe Zinnia. If the Infinity Energy used to power the current rocket came from safer means, surely he wouldn't have said a line like that....which begs the question of what exactly happened to get that energy.
Then there's the fact that we know Sea Mauville was a facility used to "extract natural resources" from the bottom of the ocean. It was functional in the same generation as Mr. Stone's grandfather. We also know his grandfather developed Infinity Energy, yet it wasn't this new source of energy that ran Sea Mauville out of business--it was concern for Pokemon. Was the natural resources being harvested at Sea Mauville the life energy of Pokemon?
And then there's Keystones. Prof Cozmo says the dimension shifter is going to be powered by Infinity Energy and the human energy found in Keystones. What exactly went into making Keystones? It's already heavily implied that Infinity Energy played a crucial role in the formation of (at least Kalos') Mega Stones.
I'm not one for wanting to imagine Pokemon to be "Darker and Edgier" just for the fun of it, but these are some of the thoughts I've been having after going through the game.
