How many deaths were there in the Pokémon anime?

Question

Pretty dark question.

Comments

The link below has a list of deaths. I haven't read it, but I'm assuming that it's mostly major characters. Also, are you looking exclusively for characters that were shown alive but then died later, or just everyone mentioned to be dead?
