Pokemon are confirmed to "vanish".
Possibly to "another dimension" or "the shadow realm".
>>32298146
oh shit time for the shadow realm
>>32298146
source?

I recognize the screencap. It's from Bulbapedia actually, they're forbidding editors from referring to Stoutland as "dead."
>Can't say that Stoutland died
>Can still use the term "genderless"
>>32298220
wait, what happened to stoutland?
i can't believe stoutland was banished to the shadow realm where his soul will be tortured forever
>>32298234
Pomf is too arrogant to admit he made it up.
"Gender Unknown"' is the correct term.
>>32298237
Vanished.

In the anime a Stoutland died of old age and the whole board was upset as fuck about it. They pulled every stop in the book to make sure you knew the thing had passed away, from a grim diagnosis by Nurse Joy to the thing not being there in the morning when the little kitty woke up on the couch under the bridge. The thing could also barely move and was obviously in pain.
stoutland is a faller

Basically there was a Stoutland that had a close friendship with a Litten in the anime. Stoutland was very old, and it was getting progressively worse in health. The two Pokemon slept under a bridge as they had before one night (after being brought back from the hospital), and in the morning, Stoutland was gone, and the Litten woke up alone under a rainy bridge.
Ash asks where the Stoutland went, and Kukui only replies with "Don't ask."
>>32298293
Actually it was Rotomdex who asks, sorry.
>>32298237
He became more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
>>32298237
Died of old age.
Litten was depressed for a while, saw Stoutland's face in the clouds, cheered up, and then challenged Ash to a battle and let him catch him.
>>32298293
>"Don't ask"
Didn't think based Kukui could be so fucking disrespectful
>>32298371
>Pokedex that should know a lot about Pokemon
>"What happened to the obviously dying Pokemon?"
This is Ash scanning Koffing in Unova all over again.

Rotom has always been portrayed as really fucking dumb and completely incapable of making logical connections on its own. That's completely in character.

The next dimension.
>>32300935thanks doc
>>32298237
It died, but Bulbapedo won't let anybody add that to any of its articles bcause it wasn't directly stated in the episode.
Despite you know, using every allegory for death ever invented.
>>32300768
Ash did still know what Koffing was, though. He was checking to see if there's more info since he last saw one in Kanto.
So? None of you will believe anything unless it is directly stated to you.
>>32300768
What was wrong with Ash scanning Koffing? It was a different Pokedex, just like you reading the dex entries of all your favorite mons every time a new game comes out.
>>32301108
No, we also don't believe anything that's directly stated to us, either.
>t. pokedex threads
>>32301113
And yet, the game is your bible and you will pay attention to nothing else.
>>32301112
It's just autistic retards falling for meme pictures.
