>you're in a medieval pokemon region fighting for whatever lord that pays.
>you stab some idiot on the battle field with your freshly bought greatsword as your pokemon team eats his useless squad.
>hard fought battle won, you and your other pokemon return to camp for a good night sleep.
>suddenly your (recently used) greatsword jumps out of your sheath and decapitates you in revenge for his previous lifes end.
>your story spreads like wild fire through the region. >now people make it a habit to let there pokemon do the battles for them. Out of fear of making more vengeful honedge's

This pokemon is singlehandedly responsible for how we play pokemon today.

Woah woah woah… "killed"..?

I know the Pokemon games have always had references to death and such, but outright using the word "killed" in the actual game..? Is that new..? That threw me for a loop for a moment. They always danced around the subject to keep it PG-friendly using words like "deceased" or "passed away", after all. Is the Japanese dex entry worded the same way..? This piked my interest, not going to lie.
