What do pokemon do when their master dies?

Get depressed? Find a new master? would a ghost pokemon follow their master into the afterlife?

Couldn't a ghost pokemon hypothetically force their trainer to become a ghost, rather than moving on to the afterlife?

Why only a Cofagrigus? In the anime Gengar forced Ash's soul out of his body. I'm sure other ghosts could do the same. The Gengar in the first PMD game also had the ability to move the MC's spirit back to their body after they died.

It depends. There was a Ninetales in the anime that lived long after its master died so I guess it depends.

nah, the pokéball has no way to know his owner died so they'd remain caught untill freed by some relatives

although that makes me wonder why use strange machines to trade instead of just swapping balls

The strange machines are for transporting them over distance.
Like the education system, I'm pretty certain the pokeworld government have a protocol for dead people's pokemon.

Maybe it's like pokeballs have some ID chip on them, like MGS4's guns or District 9's Prawn tech.

The strange machine probably changes registry on the pokeball, that's my theory.

When a trainer dies there is a chance that they could become a Yamask. If so there's also a chance they could continue as a pokemon trainer if they retain enough of their memories. Mewtwo and N are both examples of pokemon that have been able to act as pokemon trainers so it is possible.

It's implied that he might be a zoroark in the Games, especially in the post game when you follow a zoroark to the ruins of N's castle and it mysteriously disappears with only N there...

Because that's the form he was in when he was found.

If he was not a pokemon how would he be able to talk to them and know what they feel?

I always imagine that gym leaders are forced to have a set level limit with their pokemon so that they don't overpower new trainers. That would be why when you fight him again he has pokemon in the 60's level.

Maybe because he was brought up as a pokémon among pokémon before and Ghetis was the first human he remembers and the one who made him human?

N is like a pokémon feral child, you know. There was that kangaskhan kid in the anime that could talk to pokémon too.

There are tonnes of Pokedex entries about ghosts doing freaky as fuck shit with souls so it's actually much more plausible game wise than animu wise.

Also I imagine most Pokemon react the same way humans do.

Pretty much. It's also likely that the Pokemon they use in their gym battles depends on the skill level of the trainer challenging them. If the trainer is weaker, then they use a certain set of Pokemon. Stronger challengers get to face different sets.

No, Yamask is the result of a human being trapped inside a Coffagrigus
and remember, Mewtwo was born from Mew, so it's not another lost soul or whatever

One thing I sometimes wonder about Ghost pokémon... there's always a lot of them flocking to graveyards like Lavender Tower and the Celestial Tower.

Do they go there because they just like the atmosphere of the place, to eat the souls of the dead pokémon or are they literally pokémon ghosts that were born there?
Or maybe they are actually really good guys and go there to help the dead souls pass on, or just to play with them as the only ones who can see actual ghosts?

No it's not.

Here are it's pokedex entries:
Black: Each of them carries a mask that used to be its face when it was human. Sometimes they look at it and cry.
White/BW2: These Pokémon arose from the spirits of people interred in graves in past ages. Each retains memories of its former life.

none of those say anything about how someone become a yamask, not even that there's a small chance that anyone becomes one, so there's little reason to believe they could become, like, Mewtwo or something.
As for how they are created there's no evidence for, but i like to think that Cofagrigus' Mummy ability does that to humans
i know that is headcanon, but i'd say it's less of a stretch than yours

Not necessarily, remember that you could fight Erika/Koga/Sabrina in any order in gen 1 and the level didn't change. Or it's just them cheating/being stupid, or the league system being different for them.

I suspect it is a general badge/level bracket split up something like 0-1 badges is a low level limit, 3 badges the limit is raised more, 5 the limit gets raised again etc and it is at the gym leaders discretion what levels, up to the maximum for that bracket they use to battle you.
