I think its neat that in Pokemon ghost type Pokemon arent the living dead or spirits but creatures that channel ghost energy or share things in common with spirits. Ghost type Pokemon can still die and become actual ghosts and spirits like Mimikins the Mimikyu in the anime, she was a Mimikyu that died and came back as a ghost. Being a ghost is a different existence than being a ghost type, for example Pokemon ghosts dont show up in pictures or they cant harm other Pokemon, as seen in the anime their attacks just phase though living Pokemon. I also think this was the case for the Marowak ghost in Gen 1, you couldnt harm it but you could fight the ghost types in the tower.
Isn't this contradicted by the pokedex? Specifically Yamask.
There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds.
