Talk:Cubone (Pokémon)

Has anyone here ever given thought that in the anime and the games, that Pokémon can't die. Even in the movie, Celebi is revived. But here Marowak and Cubone wear the skulls of their DEAD mom. Am I the only one seeing this inaproppriate?--Machamp ion 16:41, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

...yes Pokémon can die...just not in gameplay, and occasionally in the anime. Latios, Lucario, and Darkrai are all dead. Also, in order to become a fossil, you need to die, and we have lots of Pokémon brought back through fossils.

Pokémon can die. You, the player, just can't make them die yourself.--Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 17:04, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Well Lucario didn't DIE DIE, he just is in suspended animation. But I toatoly forgot about Latios, but how did Darkrai die? He didn't even make an appearance yet and he's dead? Whoa cruel.--Machamp ion 17:09, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Latios "sacrifices himself" to block that tsunami Annie and Oakley made. I'm pretty sure Darkrai ends up dead, anyway...--Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 17:21, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Dialga vs Palkia vs Darkrai. It appeared, just not outside of Japan yet. TTEchidna 20:52, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

I see you're all forgetting the most obvious death of all. The Marowak in Pokémon Tower. System Error 22:18, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

And all of the other graves in Pokémon Tower. -Happy Mask Man 22:49, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

What gets me, personally, is that you can breed Cubone from other Cubone and I assume - though I haven't done it yet - that the mother doesn't die in the process. So, whence the skulls? But that's the same complaint as "whence the other two Magnemites?" and "whence the other Beldum, and then the other Metang?" - a quibble, more than anything else. (I assume the following is a signature. I've forgotten how to edit things.) --Kadrin 12:47, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

The problem with Cubone is that the backstory it is given works for the one Cubone in the plot of Red and Blue but would be terribly inefficient if applied to the whole species. --FabuVinny ^{|Talk Page|} 14:54, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

i took that backstory with a grain a salt. Boywonder01 14:57, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Maybe it is just folklore... --FabuVinny ^{|Talk Page|} 16:13, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

And besides, put Darkrai under Celebi. He's been revived too.BlueJirachiWishMaker 14:59, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
