Does this company replace Lysandre's business?My guess is that can be traced back to Quasartico Inc. offering a lot of money to start a redevelopment of the city in exchange for something they want (though what that may be is currently unclear) . It's indicated that they specifically are leading the redevelopment which is an interesting detail to add and evil corporation is hardly the first time in Pokemon.

In both the games and anime, Lysandre was engulfed in blasts that also destroyed his destructive weapons. Though his fate is unknown, being the head of a company, and no other to take his place, the company would crumble and be replaced with a new company taking over the products.Well it's only speculation but I would suspect it would. Though they could have it secretly be connected to Team Flare if they want it to be. One of the trailers I think showed a hologram and considering the Holo Caster was apparently developed by Lysandre Labs so there might be something there.

But she reforms in the games and anime.Technically, Malva is still around, so she could easily take over and resume operations, even if only underground.

Well, the anime is irrelevant, but when did she ever reform in the games? Every time she sees the player she talks about how angry she is and how she wants to kill them.
She does help you stop Xerosic and Save Emma. Though that does seem from the dialogue that's partially because she has a deal with our partner (which in context would be looker) and expects him to honour his agreement. I guess you could count that a partial reform (and probably is the reason she avoids any punishment and get to keep being an elite 4 member and the Holo caster newsreader) but seemingly a minor one if it does count but I'm not convinced she does truly reform in the games so far.
I definitely wouldn't call that reformation. I'd call it a criminal making a deal with police to avoid prison time.
With that in mind, it is quite possible we'll see Malva in Legends: Z-A.
I’m convinced that Lysandre is still alive and that he escaped from the hideout before it was fully destroyed by exiting through a secret door that leads to underground tunnels. It’s heavily implied in XY that there are underground tunnels all throughout Kalos that the player never enters. The Power Plant is one location that obviously uses underground tunnels that we have never gained access to and we know from NPC dialogue that Luminose City has a complex sewer system where wild Pokémon live.In both the games and anime, Lysandre was engulfed in blasts that also destroyed his destructive weapons.

Of course, this would mean his company goes under.I don't think that Lysandre is returning, mostly because it would officially establish that X is the canon Kalos game and Y is thrown out completely.

He could always come back in an undead form.I don't think that Lysandre is returning, mostly because it would officially establish that X is the canon Kalos game and Y is thrown out completely.
Still think he escaped via secret underground tunnels. I mean the Ultimate Weapon in Geosage Town literally rose out of the ground and obviously there had to be some sort of tunnel to reach it when it was being made.Not necessarily. If he had some form of escape that allowed him to avoid being hit by the ultimate weapon then it wouldn't establish either game as canon. For example if he happened to have a teleporter (or some Pokemon nearby that happened to know teleport) then it wouldn't confirm to be in X or Y canon (though it would be a bit Deus ex machina I admit).
