Are Ghost types dead or alive?
Are they literal ghosts?

They just have ghost-like qualities. Otherwise how would they breed and hatch from eggs.

I think they're alive because of what >>32759471 said. They breed and hatch from eggs and can be hurt. Some of them even eat actual food.

What I'm not too sure about is if ghost pokemon can actually die. Like, do they fade away? do they live forever? some of them are literally just spritis haunting something so it would be weird to me that they could "die".

Some are stated to be dead humans.

Some are just ghost-like creatures.

And others like Decidueye, Sableye, Alolan Marowak, Lunala, and Sensu Oricorio just have darkness/shadow elemental powers.

You should believe in common sense. Use discretion when reading the Pokedex.

Unless you have such a small mind that you actually believe Kadabra were humans that transformed and Magcargo are hotter than the sun.

What'a wrong with Kadabra being a former human? And Marcargo's temperature means nothing. According to the anime, mons like Ponyta can control how hot their flames are or whatever.

Why should we believe your hearcanon over what the games establish to us? These are monsters with magical powers, boy.

And who makes the Dex entries? Humans who are still learning about Pokemon.

For the most part, I take it as primary Ghost-type = literal ghost (though not necessarily dead people; could be underworld creatures like Litwick and Drifloon), with at least one exception being Oricorio.

Secondary Ghost-type = biological lifeform with spooky shadow powers or weird lifeforms with ghostlike properties (e.g. Rotom is non-corporeal and can possess appliances because it's made of plasma). Possible exceptions are Shedinja and Marshadow.

In Gen 1 they were literal dead pokemon.

Then they made more games, so now Ghost-type is more like anything that interacts or is part of the supernatural/spiritual realm.

And yet through multiple dimensions and decades they the dex entries only vary slightly for each Pokémon.
Pokémon are magic anon. What's your problem?

I'd put it at both. Something like decidueye isn't dead, but Gengar seems more like a literal ghost
