Solving Raticate's "DEATH"

"Hello, Internet. Welcome to GAME THEORY, where, let's face it, for as cool as it might seem to live in the Pokémon world, do you really want a two-and-a-half-foot rat to jump out at you the next time you're walking through some tall grass? Seriously, where do you think you are? New York, minus the grass? According to the Pokédex, Raticate is a 40 pound rodent! Let's see how scared of mice you really are when you find this thing raiding your kitchen in the middle of the night to chew on your Ramen packets."

Solving Raticate's "DEATH" (subtitled Did you KILL Radicate?) is the 143rd episode of Game Theory and its 9th episode on Pokémon on The Game Theorists.

Description
''It's one of the oldest and most infamous creepypastas out there -- that you killed your Rival's Raticate in Pokemon Red and Blue. But are you truly an eleven-year-old with blood on your hands? Unlike most other creepypasta, this Pokemon theory actually HAS evidence that gives us a definitive answer one way or the other, evidence that has gone largely unnoticed for the better part of the last decade. So today's Pokemon Theory is putting this question to rest...pun intended. Should Red be renamed as "Murderer Red?" Let's find out!''
