Been watching a lot of whose line videos.  I love the jigglypuff impression, it's spot on.

Lol, so true. If you think about it, Pokemon seem pretty retarded sometimes. xD

In terms of the anime, agreed.

In terms of the game, agreed.

but... BUT... I like pokemon!
both games and anime/movies.
(The movies are freaking awesome)

I think shows like pokemon is too underated to grown audience. I can understand that the producers want to focus the anime towards the kids because it's more money in it that way.
Though, it could have been a lot better if they didn't ONLY focus it towards kids. It's kind of sad on my opinion, but i'm not going to be arrogant and decide what should and should not be liked!

However, i'm 21 and i still like it anyway

By the way, i've heard that the original manga are focused towards grown audience. Pokemon die and shit O_o

Question: What happens if a Gengar dies?

[ThallionDarkshine]

Nothing!!!
Pokemon don't die, they just faint!
And yes, I do see your point.

What were Gengar originally?

[Blizzard]

It says specifically that Gastly is the ghost of a dead Pokemon. Does it mean that all Pokemon eventually become ghost Pokemon? This is something that always irked me. ._.

[ThallionDarkshine]

Alright, then I am deciding that Gengar was once a Raichu.

What Pokemon didn't become a ghost Pokemon after death.

[G_G]

Well eventually all Pokemon die of old age. So that means that every Pokemon that dies becomes a ghost Pokemon. Wouldn't it? Ugh that's irritating! >.<

[MarkHest]

Maybe it's a 'lost spirit' thing, much like the stories of our own.
A being can't find perfect peace at the time of death and ends up wandering the earth in its ghostly form, something like that? Maybe if a gengar choses to go on, maybe it will?

That's the only logic solution i can come to think of because the producers tents to copy legends/myths and use them to give Pokemon new ideas.

[Blizzard]

Face it: Every Pokemon eventually becomes a Gastly and maybe evolves into Haunter or even Gengar.
Also, how can there be Gengars in nature? I thought a Gengar can only evolve from a Haunter when it's traded. Maybe the Gengar just outlived its master. But the there should be no weak Gengars as they were trained for at one lifetime. >_>

Gah, this is too confusing. I'm leaving this topic.

[ThallionDarkshine]

Wrong!!! Kanto region. Red, Fire Red, Blue, Leaf Green, Yellow. You see a Marowak ghost. Therefore, Marowaks don't become Ghastlys.
