 How do grave towers in Pokemon games like Lavender Tower work? Also before you rage at me for bumping, I got permission from Cabinet to bump. |

They probably don't actually bury anything (like lots of real graves).
Also, nice GIF.

Well, basically, one of those graves is for Gary's raticate that you kill on the S.S. Anne  (has anyone else heard this interpretation?) |

I wouldn't imagine them not burying anything if there are no graves on the floor level. Also there people visiting their deceased pokemon's grave.
Also yes I know about Gary's Raticate, but that further proves my point even more as he was walking to the stairs on the second floor that leads to the first floor, which would imply that his Raticate was buried at floor 2 or higher.
[edit] Also thanks MTSL.

How do grave towers in Pokemon games like Lavender Tower work? I imagine that the pokemon are cremated. I don't think a tower with several levels of rotting bodies stack on top of each other works out that well. Also it saves on space. |

Markers. An example would be mass war graves where not every body is accounted for but they still put in a stone with their name, etc.

If they were cremated then there would be no real need for tombstones unless they wanted to be fancy or something to the like, as cremations normally go with a name plate embedded in the ground.

The tombstones are nameplates. You have to remember we are dealing with the Game Boy here, it would have been too tough to code a recogniseable nameplate that is on the ground.

But later games show that tombstones are indeed tombstones, like Gen 5 for and 4 for example. Sure they can be used as name plates, but that would be ridiculously expensive to have a tombstone for a cremated pokemon unless said pokemon was special to him/her. Also the only thing that would need to be changed in order for authentic nameplates is to change the tombstone tile into a nameplate tile. |

Maybe that is why there is only one tower in Kanto, the people who have the money cremate and "bury" in the tower, people who don't stuff them in a cardboard box and but them at the end of the garden.
