Death of Pokemon as Plot.

E=What do you think of the idea of a pokemon dieing as part of a plot, or feigning death in a pokemon game...
i mean the tower in lavender town first introduced the idea of pokedeath... it just hasn't been used in the games.

If that happens then pokemon will become like the digimon game....I despised it when one of my little characters became a useless egg.....I hope a similar fate never happens to my beloved shiny crobat.....

It would be sot of pointless and a bit annoying if you are meaning for one of your party members to die, but these are supposed to be kiddie games... it isn't that likely to happen.

As far as realism goes, it would make the games more realistic..
but Nintendo/Gamefreak would be doomed.

They didn't avoid deaths in the games just to keep that 'E' rating.
Pokemon live forever, because if that level 99 Charizard just up and died 43 Exp. Points away from Level 100, it's trainer would be seriously POed. No one would buy the games anymore once they heard that their hard-trained Pokemon could die at any given moment. Sales would drop dramatically, and soon making the games would cost more money than they're worth.

If you really want your hard-trained Pokemon to die, use your imagination.
Release them, and pretend they died in some horrific battle, or of old age. I did that once.. released my level 50-something Flygon after his offspring hatched, and imagined he died. XD Then I regretted it later..

No there will never be death as a main plot in a pokemon game

Pokemon death has been included in the story lines of the games. Team rocket killed cubones' mother (the marowak) in Lavendar tower and as a result it posessed the chanelers to try and protect the tower and its babies. The spirit of the marowak also gave the pokemon in the tower the power to conceal themselves as ghosts and can only be revealed with a special item that can only be obtained by beating the boss of team rocket. To me, that sounds like death is a fairly big part of the game.

As for your party pokemon dieing i doubt it would happen because these games are aimed at a younger audience and think of all the problems it would lead to if a five year old child's beloved meowth suddenly dies. Not to mention the level 100 charizard or blastoise.

Ooh, maaaan!
He's talking about plot, not if your friggen' Charizard dies, jeez!

And you know what? It wouldn't bother me if say, at the start of the game something got killed. 'Cos taht just adds to the two-dimentional plot of Pokémon, don't you think? And then maybe it'll turn out that that kid on like.. Route 2 who likes shorts did it all along. Oh, you weren't suspecting that one, I got you GOOD.

Pokémon is meant for all ages, and I don't think it's a good idea that its younger audience should have to deal with death in something as innocent as Pokémon. Personally, I wouldn't mind it, but I know that my younger cousin would definitely not like it.
