"My Pokemon Died!" ....No you moron, he FAINTED

[Quicksand.]

No matter what game i play, whether i faint, fall of the course *coughmariokartcough* or something else, i always say that i died. Im not too sure why. Its just easier i guess.

 

[Beechlgz]

I don't really tend to say anything.

 

[Azumi]

I think to myself "oh it's dead - okay let's move on!" usually when they fainted, because it's some kind of a habit I guess.

I usually say "oh he's dead" or "oh he's out" or something. Fainted is two syllables and requires effort to say.

I don't say he's out but I agree fainted takes to much effort to say. Dead is usually what I say. But I still correct people when they say that they have died.

 

[FlamingThunder]

I use both. I use "fainted" if I feel like to and "dead" if I feel like to. When I battle a trainer, Cynthia for example; I say things like, "Yes! Garchomp died!" and "I'm going to kill your Roserade! lol

 

[Lady Gaga]

I never say "hes out"
I rarely say "he fainted"
I usually say "he died"
My Pokemon is dead guys, mourn with me...until we find a PokeCenter! :D

Because of my Nuzlocke Syndrome I always say that my Pokemon is dead, even if it is a normal playthrough. I don't know why It's just automatic, kinda like how some Pokemon players press random buttons when trying to catch a Pokemon. For me it's easier to say, "No! you killed my ___" then to say "Why did you have to faint it!" even if it isn't logical. Plus I mainly play Pokemon around my Brazilian friends so it's much easier to say "Morreu" (2 Syllables) then to so "Desmaiado" (4 Syllables)

I usually think that my Pokemon dies when it faints, even though it really doesn't die.

 

[Shining Raichu]

I'm never usually playing Pokemon around people so I don't say anything, but when I do I say died - it's just what you say, it's like videogame terminology.

 

[Saryka]

I usually say "oh he's dead" or "oh he's out" or something. Fainted is two syllables and requires effort to say.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I do, too. I know that they're really fainted, but it's just too much effort for me to say, so I'll just say they're dead. People know what I mean, haha.

 

[Overlord Drakow]

Some moves should instantly kill the pokemon though. Guillotine should make the pokemon dead really ¬____¬

There are others as well.

 

[Eurydice]

i normally say he died. "my pokemon died" or something along that line. i dont say fainted just because it is more effort to say.

 

[Taemin]

Technically, I know they just fainted, but I usually say they died.

I treat them like lives in Sonic game, or something. >_>

"Whoops, died! STILL GOT FIVE MOAR." /shot

 

[Virtual Chatot]

I say fainted. Although when I first started playing as a wee tike of like seven I would say "died" or "fainted" interchangeably.

 

[RulerArceus]

I say die.
Even when theres noone around, Most of my friends are inanimate objects.

[The Noob Hacker]

I use both. But most of the time I say dead. But I almost always use dead to describe my opponent's Pokemon, especially if it got destroyed in one hit.

 

[Psysaturn]

I pretty much always say "dead". No idea why. Well, actually, its probably due to all the other games where your toon does die.

'Dead'

'Killed'

'Knocked out'

Or profanity. Depending on my mood.
