Aristotle once remarked that nature abhors a vacuum; this world seems to feel the same about death. I've never tried it myself, and for good reason, but from what I've been able to determine from the reports I've heard, the "rules" of Johto simply won't permit someone to die. Wounded, scarred, damaged, or altered, yes. But dying somehow upsets the game, so to speak, so people never reach that point. As though the universe intervenes to restore them before it can happen, because the very thought is contrary to some fundamental principle it operates on.
It's an outlandish theory, and one without much concrete support — as I said, for good reason. But there are enough other things here that defy the natural laws I'm familiar with to at least give the hypothesis its due consideration.
