Pokemon games will never be good until there is actually death in the games (both people and Pokemon)

I mean think about how absurd it is that a kid is going around stopping an evil organization by defeating them in Pokemon battles in which their Pokemon faint after losing all their health. When you're a kid this doesn't matter but when you get older you realize how absurd and stupid it is.

You don't actually ever see deaths, but it's still a pretty frequent theme in all the games. There's all the Pokemon graves and ghosts in various games of course. And then there are the team villains. In Black/White 2 Ghetsis straight up attempts to kill the player the character, and he's only foiled by N arriving just in time to save you. And there are other villains who are basically attempting to destroy the world and wipe out all or some life. So no, you never see anyone directly die, but I think that works better for Pokemon.
