What happens to fainted Pokémon?

    When a wild Pokémon is beaten in battle, it faints. What happens to it?

    If every time a trainer beats a wild Pokémon it faints then all the grass of each region must be covered in knocked out Pokémon.

    You never know though, maybe there friends carry them away and help them restore, I mean fellow Pokémon. Maybe there is a job in the Pokéworld going round, collecting fainted Pokémon and taking them to the Pokémon Center.

    I want your opinions.
     
    Well, how to put it..., it dies!
    Fainted is just a nice Nintendo's way of saying: dead!
     
    ^ You've just crushed my childhood.

    Although, it does bring to mind Moufassa's speech in the Lion King about the Circle of Life...
     
    If you mean fainted, like an actual faint, then another pokemon will take care of it if it doesn't wake up. Or even if it does and has hurt something badly. And by take care of it, I mean kill it and eat the corpse.

    Isn't that just lovely? Meh, it's bound to happen. At least the pokemon is unconscious when it gets killed. That's how I always saw it, anyway.
     
    HP = Health points, as in "life"
    If you don't have any more of those then you're, well, dead!
    Also, revive isn't called like that for no good reason...
     
    But, then, how is that different from when they are put to sleep?
     
    He is another theory, they faint and wake up hours later?
    Or they just disolve into the ground XD
    Either way I don't think Nintendo wants you to know what happens to them, well thats just my opinion.
     
    They desolve into thousands of little pixels and blocks of data, blow away in the wind and go to Pokeheaven.

    ... true, this could be it! But is Pokeheaven a sinonim for my trash can?

    Whever your game cartrige/card ends up.

    Also, maybe Pokeheaven is more or less just a astral dimension and their pixels in the real pokeworld gather at certain locations and merge back together as a ghost type pokemon.

    Wow! You've got quite an imagination!
    Also, maybe they're turned into radiation that radiates from GBA or DS, and then they enter your body, and make you infertile, as a revenge for fainting them!

    Are you just trying to upset people? Obviously they are cared for by other pokes.
     
    Lovely answers guys. I'm gunna go throw up and cry?
     
    No I'm not! And what the heck are you talking about?! THEY... ARE... NOT... REAL! I know, it came as a shock to me tooo! LOL

    @Assault Oh give me a break! What are you..., five?!
     
    Brilliant Explanation.

    Shame you couldn't copypaste it into a spoiler...you've now got me addicted.

    And, tbh, with all the ethical problems that could come from the pc system, I reckon that one makes sense. The Pokemon League Association hires a team of Abra (wearing official caps like Ash had pre-advance, to stop you battling them) to go around carrying a Happiny/Chansey/Blissey on their backs reviving things with Softboiled
     
    The only bad thing in this great theory is that softboiled doesn't revive pokemon...
     
    I always thought it worked the same way as when a human faints.

    You lay there knocked out for a little while and then you eventually wake up and most likely make a full recovery.

    It's a boring theory, but a theory nonetheless.
