Last night's episode got me thinking; we don't see a lot of deaths in this series, do we? Off the top of my head, the on-screen deaths I can remember:

- Dr. Fuji and all the scientists who created Myuutwo.
- Musashi's mom in the CD Drama
-
Possibly J?

As for the off-screen deaths:

- The maiden girl from "The Ghost of Maiden's Peak."
- Luka's great-grandfather in the Lugia arc

That's really all I can think of.

Can you guys think of any more examples?
 
I would quibble with ALL the Mewtwo scientists, given that Giovanni survived worse about five minutes of movie time later. Although as I said on Serebii, they're probably dead by *now* in an attempt to cover up both the experiment and the failure.

There's those people who died in movie 12 and got retconned back to life during the convoluted plot.

Oh! Sir Aaron! Not counting Dr Fuji, Aaron's probably the most famous of all.
 
How about Ai? Dr. Fuji's daughter, she died. Uhm, kind of twice too, but yeah.

That Nick kid and his dad from the Celebi Hoso died. And then Richie went back in time and prevented them from dying. So I dunno if that counts.
 
Kumi's lover and Kumiko's grandfather died, in that train episode?

Although, Haruka travelled in time along with Nyasu to prevent his death, so I don't know if that counts either. xD;; Still!
 
Are we including historic characters as well?

There was Ninetales's original owner who looked almost exactly like Brock. Presumably died while on a journey.

There was also the Captain of the ship that been sunk for 300 years.

- Musashi's mom in the CD Drama

In the first episode of the CD Drama we heard her getting hit by that avalanche, but then we heard her in the rest of the episodes still looking for Mew. (Or at least some of the rest of the episodes. She was definitely in the last episode.) And according to a source that was on your website (but a source I can't get to because Geocities is gone), Giovanni said that they were still unaware of where she currently is. (Or that they just haven't seen her again.)

So she might be alive...
 
With Miyamoto I could go either way. Given that she's related to Jessie, she might just be wandering around stupidly and refusing to come back until she finds Mew.

Heck, even if she was in an episode, it would still be tragic because there's no way she'd recognize Jessie, and probably wouldn't admit that all that time had passed.
 
pokemon tears are full of life and they brought ash back to life would that count?
 
I didn't think of this before....but what if Cyrus, in a way, commited suicide? Assuming that his universe wasn't completed enough to support human life, like himself... so when he realized that he couldn't accomplish exactly what he wanted, it drove him to the point of insanity (more than what he was already) where he just gave up on himself and went through the portal, in an attempt to end his life by suffocating in what looked like an incomplete galaxy/universe without oxygen (this could also be why Saturn held back Mars, so she wouldn't die also). It's kinda out there, I know....but giving how much of a psycho Cyrus is, it's a really small possibility.

That might be a possibility. We'll see if he comes back or not. This is kinda out there, but Damos is dead when the cast goes back to the future. So would that count. Along with Marcus and Spiky-eard Pichu.
 
I can only think of Amber from the Mewtwo's origin and Sir Aaron, really...


There's always the huge debate about Ash's dad and whether he's alive or not, too. But now there's a similar thing going on regarding Dawn's dad...
 
That was hilarious though. Not too often you see a character talk about their own tragic demise AND MANAGE TO FOOL PEOPLE. Including one who would later be bonded to the being of intelligence (Uxie, your choice isn't looking so sterling now).
