Here's a fun one. Take a look at the Lumiose map. Note something very strange about their design choice.
1) North Lumiose and South Lumiouse are not created in a PURE north south direction. It is askew. The north is slightly to the East and the south is slightly to the west. So lets change their direction naming conventions to NorthEast Lumiose and SouthWest Lumiose.
2) When you first enter the city East Lumiose is closed off to you while you are free to mingle about the west .
3) The reason the east side of the city is closed off is because Team Flare has control of the power station. This territory is found directly west of the city.
3b) This is reinforced by the Town Map, look closely at the routes and you're see blue and red tints around the routes and cities. The red is in the east, the blue is in the west, however the 'red' also cover route 13, which is where the power station is.
4) Team Flare's headquarters is found in this north/east side of the city.
5) The deepest plazas in each side of the city is respectively Bleu Plaza in the southwest and the rouge of the northeast.
6) When you remove the threat of Team Flare from the station of power, the wall that once segregated the city in northEast and southWest are dismantled.
Since this game centered around Europe, I think it's not a coincidence that they established the conflict of this West Capitalist/East Socialist kind of class/ideological conflict. This conflict is a very major part of Europe's history. Though it's strange how their version of Paris seems to have some Berlin mixed in there.
Also that tech that Lysandre created? The Holo caster? (Spoiler alert for a Pokemon game?) It is later revealed by a grunt that they were recording the calls made on this devise. A pretty Stasi-esque tactic for sure (Or the NSA I suppose, but the German government already called what they did a Stasi-esque move).
