I don't want politics in my game about sending 10 year-olds off into the forest to gamble on dog fighting.
"But, but don't you see, the little creatures love it!"
"Pika-piiiiiiii" Translation: Please kill me
"See?"
I bet you the price of a soda that my pet rat could bite your pet dragon to death. If I lose, I'm going to keep trying until one of my pets can kill yours. Then you better give me a merit badge showing I'm the best pet-killing child in all of Japan.
And don't forget, we make them keep fighting even after they're dead and ghosts!
The pokemon species dies and becomes a ghost species. I don't think each individual ghost type pokemon lives then dies.
The Lavender town Marowak in the first game is one of the few actual "it was alive before and now its a ghost" situation.
Funnily enough, a recent pokemon card of the day post featured Drifloon, which has flavor text describing Drifloons and being made up of the spirits of both pokemon AND humans: "A Pokemon formed by the spirits of people and Pokemon. It loves damp, humid seasons."
Pokemon is the ultimate bourgeois fantasy. They want to lock us up in a cramped ball that rolls around and make us fight each other and thank our pokemon "trainers" that want to become pokrmon "masters". They will yell at you and you won't even be allowed to fight as you wish and when you win they take all the glory, fame and money for yelling orders at you and you will love them for all of it because you have stockholm syndrome and you will do it for free. If pokemon wasn't consent manufacturing bourgeois propaganda, you would have seen the pokeletroit revolution winning. Stalinmon should have never stopped at kanto.
