Dead pokemon....

[Zet]

In Pokemon Blue, before you challenge Gary at the Pokemon Tower in Lavender town, he asks if you've ever known what its like to have a Pokemon die.

At this point in the game, he no longer has his Raticate.

When you c+p'd this, I had a greengasm of sadness.

 

[Aizuke]

I wonder how it died.

Hey, RED! What brings you here? Your POKEMON don't look dead! I can at least make them faint! Let's go, pal!

What? You stinker! I took it easy on you too! How's your POKEDEX coming, pal? I just caught a CUBONE! I can't find the grown-up MAROWAK yet! I doubt there are any left! Well, I better get going! I've got a lot to accomplish, pal! Smell ya later!

Is it only in the Japanese versions? :x

 

[Zet]

I guess so, but I think it's still a bit implied since Gary/Green(Blue) does say they don't look dead.

 

[Tyrantrum]

That's sad. :(

R.I.P Gary's Raticate

 

[Misheard Whisper]

Yet before this, on the ferry at Vermilion (?) City, he tells you he's already caught 40 kinds of Pokemon.

. . . I had a point, but I forgot what it was.
