Man, I wonder how death is viewed in Pokémon. There’s known to be an afterlife but you might also might just become a ghost of some sort. So… you might reunite with your dead loved ones, or you might stay with your alive ones, just in a new form. They have the answers, but the answer is, “unless you die in a couple really specific ways, it’s pretty much a roulette wheel.”
I wonder if the once-human ghost-types can die. I wonder if the trevenant and yamask and whatnot that you catch have already lost their loved ones, thus why they’re looking for new ones. Maybe there are families that have kept ghost-types for generations because that ghost used to be Great Uncle Frank. I know not all or even most ghost-types were once human, but some were.
