I was under the conclusion that they all turn into Ghastlys.
However, with Gen V comming, some of the pokemon are "man-made" which defeats the purpose of pokemon in the first place, they are supposed to be mysterious. That is why I don't read into this too much, I don't want to spoil it.
Sorry about this....

For the Cubone to wear its mother's skull one of two things would have to happen.
The head and all it contains would have to decay, leaving just the skull.
Or...
The Cubone would have to canabalise its mother.
As it's mentioned in the Pokédex of all things that a large number of pokémon have diets consisting of a variety of other pokémon. It suggests that they do die.
The ones I find questionable are the rock/steel type Pokémon... Things like Geodude? How are they born? Do they die?
Although I have a theory about how they're born. It's mentioned in the Pokédex entry for Rhypherior that they shoot Geodudes out of their hands... So in that respect, are Geodudes even a species or an unexpected off-shoot of another pokémon documented as a species because it exhibited evolutionary traits and at the time Rhypherior had gone undocumented in the habitat of Geodude...
It's all food for thought.
But then there's another one that's always confused me... Well two now I think about it...
Magnemite and Porygon.
Two classic examples of Pokémon that shouldn't be classified as a species.
No doubt that Magnemite at least exhibits the same level of emotion and loose sentience that other Pokémon have... But Porygon as far as I've seen doesn't.
How does a Porygon die? How do you get more Porygon? Do they naturally occur in the world at all?
I mean in the game they're only available as prizes at coin game centers... So does that mean that Porygon can only be distributed as opposed to being biologically reproduced?
(I mean I know you can't breed them but does that mean that all Porygons are the same porygon?)
All very thought-provoking.
[quick edit]:
Also I completely forgot about ghost pokémon...
Where do they come from without the possiblity of death in the pokémon universe.
The two only logical points on this subject are: They're the ghosts of dead pokemon or they're the ghosts of dead people.
Which then brings up another point, Do people turn into pokémon when they die?
Also, guaranteed proof of death in the pokémon universe.
There are fossil pokémon, which have to be ressurected for use.

No doubt everyone else has said this, I'm not going to bother to read the whole thread.
The statement about Cubone is correct.
In Lavender Town there is the Pokemon Tower which is a graveyard for Pokemon, in the tower you find ghosts (Until you have the Sylph scope they are just ghosts (Otherwise they are mainly Ghastly, but the "Boss" of the tower is a Marowak)
Also, when you fight your rival, on the SS Anne, I believe, he has a Raticate that he uses in battle, obviously you kick his ass to progress the story. Later he tells you about how he couldn't get his Raticate to the Pokemon Center in time, he doesn't say that it died, but you can guess as much.
Also, it is said that if a Charmander (I assume Charmeleon and Charizard too) tail flame goes out, it'll die.
Several Pokemon can only be gotten by resurrecting them from Fossils as they *were* extinct.
Wow, that sounds depressingly awesome. Can you imagine if the anime was like that?emeraldrafael said:
Yeah, I'd say Pokemon die. I'm sure in the wild there's still the natural process of predators keeping the herbivores in check, and territorial disputes might claim the lives of others. Even if a Pokemon is caught, trained and lives a happy life, they'll still die of old age eventually. Remember, there are Pokemon fossils.
I guess so given that theres Ghost pokemon, But there incredibly resilient because some can self destruct and only faint :|
I was under the impression that a cubone was a kangaskhan whose mother had died went it was still young. The kangaskhan then becomes a cubone once it starts wearing its mother's skull.
Yeah, I know...Deathfyre said:Already linked aboveThatLankyBastard said:I think I just won this thread...
Took me forever to find a link to that pic that worked... And in that time, I was Ninja'd
Stupid ninjas...
Hehe, somehow this thread reminded me of that lavender town music myth. Where apparently the original version of the music for lavender town in the first JP release caused people to commit suicide due to some high pitches tones in part of the song. It was removed in subsequent releases. My bet is some kids probably got ill, and then chinese whispers happened. But yeah, always fun to scare people.
