I to have a theory

what if the pals in palworld are failed attempts to breed different pokemo

AZ was a character in pokemon xy. His name is similar to the game along with living in the same region. He lost his pokemon during a war, which he stopped using the ultimate weapon (basically a warcrime). He was also king of kalos during the time. Because it's in the past, we might see AZ and the ultimate weapon

Actually more of a prediction
