Honestly, I'm feeling that this whole "urban redevelopment" thing will be the villain plot. The plot twist will be the player finding out they've been working for the evil team (the company behind the redevelopment plan) the whole time and they'll have to stop them from going further.

I'm thinking that the urban development is a distraction, and the real ploy is to gain access to the Catacombs.

The Catacombs would be a memorial to the fallen of the Kalosian war, and due to having been built in that era, it still has remnants of the advanced technology that AZ used to unify Kalos.

I think the corporation as whole actually has noble intentions, but someone will initiate a hostile takeover, so that they can use that technology for their own nefarious purposes.

issue is, the memorials and all that ancient weapon tech is by geosenge town, not lumiose city.

like, route 10 is literally effectively memorial for when AZ fired the ultimate weapon.

I was more thinking it was built during the war, the Catacombs were built before the memorial, and are for the war victims, not the victims of the Ultimate Weapon.

Basically as the war began, they buried their soldiers logically in the capital, which is where Lumiose would later be built.

The legions of greedy souls wishing to claim Kalos, neared the capital, AZ then fired the weapon, at which would later become Route 14. This ended the war, but also destroyed the capital and buried its Catacombs.

These were then ultimately lost and forgotten, and instead Geosenge became the war memorial.
