The origin of horror is the cautionary tale. How do you stop your children from misbehaving, staying up too late, or going out into the woods? You tell them the boogieman or a ghost hides in the forest or under their bed. Same thing with adults, except then you would tell them a place was haunted, or cursed, and that ghosts or vengeful spirits lurked around.

Before the modern era, people were superstitious, and often took it as fact. That if you did go into the dark woods alone a horrible monster awaited you there. And a gruesome fate yet to follow. Any traveler who didn't heed the stories wouldn't be heard from again. You're taking the mystery, suspense and fear from ghosts. The very thing that makes them so interesting. They being the interlopers between life and death, who walk a twilights edge between our world and theirs.

And you'd reduce all of it to some cheap masturbatory fantasy? The origin of these pokemon, a pokemon like Froslass actually has a legend behind it. The Yuki Onna. And many others have canonical lore behind them that could make for interesting stories, or scenarios. But if they're just wank material I doubt anyones taking the time to really think about that.
