Talk:Gary Oak's Revenge/@comment-25186198-20140721084805

Hmm, not the first time i see a pasta based on Gary's Raticate dying. That's not a critique point, I just wonder how the pkmn universe exactly works sometimes. No game has a mechanic that would let your pokemon die, under any circumstances. Even the PokeRus is more of a gift than a bane.

However, in anime and in the games we find graves of pokemon or people speaking of them being dead. Now we clearly can say that they dont age so fast (I.e. Sophos in pkmn Colosseum/Dark Storm has a pikachu, he had since he was a young man, so the mouse is at least 50 years old) and they seem to take even a hyperbeam to the face like a boss, only fainting instead of having their top half vaporized.

So basically pokemon are near-indestructable, do not really age and can be healed of any injury whatsoever. How do they die X_X ???
