Are ghost Pokemon dead humans or something else?
If they can bread, then does that mean they aren't really ghosts?
No, they're Pokémon like every other, but it's possible to pass through them.
Some are (supposedly) dead humans, most are not.
Even those that supposedly are dead humans, like Yamask and Phantump, I view that as typical Pokedex exaggeration and treating superstition as truth, rather than some actual biological fact.
It's implied over and over again that ghosts aren't actually dead things. They're interdimensional creatures. The whole gengar line implies it.
Then there's Giratina, the granddaddy of ghost types. It isn't dead. It's simply the deity of an alternate dimension.
Ghost is just a misnomer that people in the pokemon world use for the sake of consistency.
It's like how grass types incorporate plants and fungi.

I thought Giratina was an antimatter thing or something. Time, Space, Antimatter, and that the reason why it can deal with antimatter is because it can go intangible and invisible like it does with Shadow Force.
Only yamask and phantump are literal ghosts. The rest, imo, are organisms that don't fit the conventional biological norms and just so happen to have ghost-like properties, hence ghost type

They aren't ghosts as in how we would see them in the west, but rather spirits as seen in japanese culture. They aren't necessarily dead things, but more like a force manifested as a physical being or some form of otherworldly being.
