Poké Reincarnation: These Pokémon were once humans in a previous life

Many ghost Pokémon hold a human’s soul.

The Pokémon world initially gives the impression that ten-year-olds can roam around alone with a clear conscience, without exposing themselves to any danger. But as soon as something goes wrong during the journey, it could happen that a new Pokémon is created from the trainers in no time at all.

Because many Pokémon are created by people having tragic accidents during their lifetime. In a Reddit thread, Pokémon fans took on the issue and wondered which Pokémon were once human in their past lives.

These Pokémon were once humans

The past fates of the Pokémon are revealed through the Pokédex entries. With many Pokémon, it’s the case that they were once humans, so the trainers could theoretically even fight their own family:

Pokémon fans cite the most prominent example Makabaja. The Ghost Pokémon is created from the souls of buried people and can even remember its past. Therefore, in some situations, it starts to cry. Its mask represents the face the Pokémon had as a human.

Even well-known Ghost-type Pokémon from the first generation have a sad fate. Nebulak consists of only 95 percent poison gas. The remaining 5 percent comes from souls of victims who died from poisonous gases. And did you know that cadabra was a boy with psychic powers who lost control of it?

The following horror artist shows us how scary the encounter with Nebulak would be in real life:

The Ghost/Dark Pokémon Kryppuk even add one more. It was created from a total of 108 spirits who sinned in their past. The Ghost/Ground Pokémon Sankabuh consists only of the soul of a deceased traveler who has driven into a sand hill.

Frosdedje is a Ghost/Ice Pokémon and comes from the soul of a deceased woman who perished in snowy mountains. Behind the ghost/grass Pokémon Paragoni has an even worse fate: these are the souls of children who got lost in the forest and died.

We can be curious what sad fates await us in Pokémon Crimson and Purple:

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon creates its own myth

In the comments of the Reddit thread, users also mention the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series of games. In this adventure, we take on the role of a Pokémon that was once a human. Vulnona is said to have cast a curse on a gardevoir. His coach could have saved him.

However, he abandoned his partner Pokémon and was cursed to be reincarnated as a Pokémon one day. Whether it is the main character or even more Pokémon behind it that were once human, we learn within the game.

What do you think of the sad fates of the Pokemon?
