While making plans for Wonders of Unova the topic of how long Pokémon live came into mind. It's something that's never really been addressed much outside of a few specific cases and so I wanted to know the community's opinion about it.
I myself think most Pokémon would live longer than the animals in our world, but still have relatively short lifespans when compared to other humans. Legendaries and Pokémon like Ninetales who're said to live for far longer being the exceptions, with Legendaries being pretty much immortal with the exception of maybe Manaphy/Phione, Shaymin and the Latii since it has been said/shown that there's more than one of them around.
So, what do you guys think about this?
