>Hotel Z>"Z" is the last letter in the alphabet>meaning it's your final destination>purgatory is described as a transitive place>you are a "tourist" on "vacation">with nothing else than your baggage>which can be symbolic for your deeds and sins>would explain why you are so skilled in being a pokemon trainer:>You were one before you died>The catastrophic state of the game and the shithole that is Z-A's Lumiose City actually reflects the dire place that is purgatory>could be worse (hell), but you still want to get out of there>yet you and everyone else cannot leave, until you purge is complete>the purge consists of you doing work (sometimes for another sinner) and facing your sins>Mable had a "plea deal" that consists of her doing work and being unable to leave Lumiose City / purgatory>Taunie / Urbaine fell for a loan shark's trap and are forced to do work (which turns out to be good in nature), so does Team MZ>Az' has to face the Ultimate Weapon and its consequences once more with Ange's activation>some characters we meet represent death sins>Taunie / Urbaine: pride>former Team Flare Grunts: wrath>Corbeau: greed>but there are no bad guys, because all the sinners can still repent>The only bad thing is Ange, but it's not a living being, but rather a manifestation of Az' greatest sin>The battle royale's goal is to battle your way from Z to A>from last to first>from bottom to top>from hell to heaven>Az "dies" at the end>Lysandre mentions something about him having to face his sins later>meaning after having faced said sins (Ange), he left purgatory>life and death incarnate appear in Lumiose City>no fancy location to find them, they're just there
