Two of my biggest PLZA questions: Will we be able to legitimately obtain her after over 11 years? Will we be able to use Light of Ruin without hacking?

(at least in a temporary caretaker sense since she reunites with AZ at the end of XY)

The Eternal Flower Files - Divine Right

I've been bouncing around theories about the origin of Eternal Flower Floette for a while. It turns out, the answer was right there all along. It all comes back to Zygarde, the Order Pokemon.

You see, I didn't watch the XYZ anime, so I didn't realize that Zygarde can create and control plants.  It can grow whole forests out of nothing. 

So I think a single red flower would be simple.

We know from an interview with Masuda that King AZ inherited Floette from his late mother, likely the former queen of Kalos. This begs the question: how far back does "Eternal Flower" Floette go in the royal family?

The way I see it, the very beginning. In an earlier post, I talked about the mythical story of King Clovis, the first king of France. It's said that during his baptism, either an angel or the Virgin Mary herself came to him, and gave him a lily. This lily became the basis for the fleur de lys, the symbol of France today.

Many fans know that the Eternal Flower is based on the Red Trillium, but culturally speaking, the trillium through a European lens was interpreted as a kind of lily, often called the "Western" or "Wood" lily, and used for the same symbols. So the story of King Clovis is likely a part of the Eternal Flower's inspiration.

You might see where I'm going here. We have a divine figure, a divine flower, and the first king of France. I believe Kalos itself was founded because Zygarde appeared before its chosen human, and crowned them the first king of Kalos by presenting them with Eternal Flower Floette.

Maybe it was the first Eternal Flower Floette in a line of them - or maybe it's the same Pokemon. Do we know for sure that Floette wasn't immortal even before King AZ resurrected her?

This theory would make Eternal Flower Floette the fleur de lys that gives the king the divine right to rule Kalos. Divine right is the European Christian concept that a king or other royal figure is divinely chosen to represent God on earth.

Why would Zygarde want to crown a human king? Zygarde is the Order Pokemon. It's goal is to maintain the order of the land. And I think that we would all agree - humans are a messy, chaotic species. So I think it stands to reason that Zygarde had a vested interest in creating order among humans, to keep them from disrupting the environment with their destructive squabbles.

Or at least, that was the idea. It turned out that the concept of divine right itself just led to more war, with the delicate fleur de lys caught in the crossfire.

...

Ever since the announcement of Pokemon Legends: Z-A, I've been serving up lots of Gen VI theories, so check out them out below:

Reading those stories at a surface level, it makes sense that Pokemon can talk and have human traits/appear human. Specifically because of the canon lore that's already there. For instance: that one kid that became a Abra, or majority if ghost pokemon being dead humans. Also the N Zoroark theory. I think N would be the last of that kind though.

Not to mention that Az is over 3,000 years old so in his time that would be the normal, since he fell in love with Floette before it was drafted into the war. It also makes sense that the war could have changed that perspective. AKA Humans seeing Pokemon as more tools of battle than equals.
