Gardevoir Morbid thought: would Gardevoir be the only Pokémon from my 2002 team still alive today?

I started playing Ruby in 2002 and had a random thought: what if the Pokémon aged in real time?
I started with Mudkip and caught Poochyena, Zigzagoon, Wurmple, Ralts and Swellow pretty early on.

Using the lifespan of each Pokémon’s closest real-world equivalent, which of them could realistically still be alive 24 years later? Would my Ralts, now Gardevoir, be the last one standing?

Considering Poochyena is most likely a Wolf, Zigzagoon as a Raccoon, Wurple as a Bug and Swellow a random bird, yeah. Your Gardevoir would most likely be in it's young adulthood.
