Yakone being Amon does make sense though. It's possible for him to be still alive because if you remember Bumi is 112 in the ATLA series and look how active he is. Maybe when he was younger the war was still going on and that was when his parents were killed by the fire nation army. Then when Aang and Zuko created Republic City, he thought that the fact that a firebender created this city was bad and tried to stop it. Of course he didn't realize he was dealing with Aang by doing so. Aang took away his bending (because he was a waterbender) right after he killed Toph which ties in why Lin Beifong hates Korra, being that she's a waterbender by heart. However what Aang doesn't realize is that by doing energybending he accidentally showed Yakone energybending by doing both of the abilities of energybending, knowledge giving and energy taking. Yakone was sent to the spirit world where the spirits showed him the ways of energybending. Then, Yakone went into hiding, keeping his body in good shape so his could live until Aang died. Then his changed his identity and started a rebellion that would tear apart Republic City, then the four (or three, I guess) nations, then all the benders in the world.
