Deaths in Pokemon

[npdargy312]

What happens to pokemon, do they just live forever? I don't think they do, and Y do trainers make such a big deal when there pokemon is in the pokemon center, I've never heard of a pokemon dying...do u think they die, and do u think there is something like a cemetary for pokemon if that is true?

*Cough* Mt. Pyre in Hoenn. *Cough* Tower in Lavender Town in Kanto. *Cough*

 

[stigy]

*cough* Ghost Pokemon in general *cough*

 

[Mitchel]

In Colloseum there is a old man who says his Treecko is older than him. This means they do age. And about people making a big deal when their Pokémon are in Centers, suffering is more painfull then death.

 

[Acheront]

Well I guess that Ninetails in some very old episode lived for hundreds of years waiting for its master to return. I guess it really depends on which Pokemon. Even in the real world, different organisms have different life spans. Immortality is not possible for organisms though, I believe.

 

[~Shadow Espeon~]

Except for some such as Jirachi I think since it seems to keep on living(or at least in anime and manga)

Maybe all legendarys are immortal. One never knows.

 

[Acheront]

If the legendaries were immortal, you'd have thousands flying around everywhere. They die

 

[Magma Instinct]

Ya, what almost happened to Lugia in 2000?

I agree with you Acheront, immortality is impossilble for physical beings. Eventually your organs just...Get tired.

 

[mrmimeykai]

the ONLY pokemon that is immortal is ash's friggin stupid pikachu, will jesse, james and meowth kill that thing already [/b*tching]

It says in the pokedex that Butterfree die after mating.

 

[The Benmeister]

In game, no. Even if they did ingame, it would take years to do so.

In other references, though, it's always probable.

Pokemon aren´t inmortal, only hard to kill, and there are two graveyards:
Lavender Town´s Pokemon Tower in Kanto (Games: R/B/G/Y/FR/LG)
Between Fortree Town and Lavender City´s Mt. Pyre in Hoenn (Games: Ru/Sa/Em)

There's also the movies where Latios (and the Lati@s father before them) dies.

 

[Kabuto]

In ghost Pokemon tower, Marowak died. As well as the cemetary for trainers pokemon like Growlithe.

 

[Lily]

They die like the rest of us; I just don't think deaths aren't emphasized in Pokemon much.

 

[Silver Ryu]

Well, of course they die. 0_o Sure, they can take a lot of damage, but they can't just live forever. I don't know how long they'd live. I'd imagine that some Pokemon would live longer than others, and that legendaries would live a lot longer than others. I'd say their lifespan could be anywhere from 10 years to as long as a human, maybe longer.

 

[Mirai Mirai]

It says in the pokedex that Butterfree die after mating.

I find that depressing. =D

 

[Chibi Pika]

Well obviously they die, they couldn't be immortal. =P

The way I see it is that most Pokemon have a lifespan a little less than a human's because they mature quicker (I see Pokemon reaching full maturity, regardless of evolution stages, by age six or seven.) It all depends though. Bug Pokemon could have shorter lifespans, like around fifty years, while it's conceivable that dragons live to a hundred.

Legendaries on the other hand...it all depends on whether you see them as unique or not; and godlike, or not. I see them as unique, but still mortal, so I put their lifespan around 500 years, and whenever one dies, a new one of that species is born. (Not reincarnation, though, a completely new individual.)

Of course they die. Even video games characers die (They just seem to have alot of live is all). Its a part of nature. Except maybe legendarys but they might just be reborn.

Pokémon do die. Even though some sources say that they don't (Such as 'The Pokémon Handbook' published by Scholastic), they do. There's Lavendar Town, where you can find a dead Marowak, and Mt. Pyre. Also, [SPOIL]Lucario dies in the 8th movie.[/SPOIL]
