>>37939496Because of the random fly robots and his overall fiery look, I believe they were going for a "beelzebub" theme with this. However I don't think any of that carries over to the final game. What I'm saying is I think, when all the concepts were being drawn up for XY, there was probably a point where this design made sense in context. This design is silly looking on its own, but it has thought put into it as much as anything else. The flies had thematic relevance at some point in early development, and while whatever those themes might have been is absent from the final game, the Lysandre design was still kept. However the Lysandre design was never revised, and in the final game is a completely random "final boss" form of Lysandre that comes out of nowhere.
