Is this the lore thread? From the post in the Lugia thread, because the idea's pretty neat:
>Yveltal is Destruction, not Death. There's a significant difference between those concepts. If you die in the Pokemon world you just live on as a soul, either moving on to an unspecified afterlife or becoming a ghost. What Yveltal does is much more absolute and doesn't have the positive connotations of death as a natural part of the cycle of life. It simply consumes the soul, presumably erasing it in the process and leaving behind only stone (thematically fitting, seeing how it adds nothing to nature and its biosphere like a regular corpse would). Looking at it this way, Destruction is a more fitting counterpart to Xerneas' theme of Life than Death - which is simply a natural part of the latter - would be.
