Slowpoke tails and Klawf claws apparently fall off on their own grow back. I suppose the problem with Neo Team Rocket in johto was that they were poaching wild slowpoke by manually cutting the tails off. Also milk obviously can be harvested from a healthy live animal and miltank has been around for 25 years.

Pokémon are magical creatures that spawn things out of thin air when they evolve.

I.e the starfish in Primarina's hair. It's an accessory not a living being.

Pokémon have clothes and things that aren't part of their anatomy.

Yep, a game mechanic for simplicity's sake definitely means all Pokemon can actually understand human speech. At most, they understand emotions and react to that, only specific Pokemon are capable of actually understanding human speech like Lapras and the Latis according to the dex. If it was a feature innate to all Pokemon, it wouldn't be specified.

It's weirder to think there are creatures that aren't Pokémon that exist in a canon void based in old media from a writer who wanted to make a Jurassic Park ripoff for the ashnime.

How curious nobody mentions the existence of animals. The god of the world, incarnations of space and time, creators of the world all are Pokémon.

But i'm scared for the implications of pokéconsumption.

What about carnivorous Mons? Fuck Pyroar you'll eat tofu because the idea of seeing it eat a Skiddo is too scary.

And this is why this franchise can't grow up.

Sex entries are massively incoherent and inconsistent though.
Also entries about pokemon being eaten (both by humans or by pokemon) were very scarce until they suddenly became overly edgy in Gen 7 (right when Masuda was told to fuck off, as we now know...).

Not really.
Regular animals always existed alongside pokemon originally.
There were even some mentions of them in the games.

It's way, way weirder to imagine a world where only pokemon (about 1000 species if counting different stages of lines as separate) exists and where all these creatures survive on eating each others even though they can breed and communicate together (unlike real life food chain).

>How curious nobody mentions the existence of animals.
As said before, they're mentioned plenty of times
Some are even depicted in recent games like mussels.
Obviously the focus isn't on them, so you don't see them a lot, just like bathrooms, diseases, football stadiums...etc

Real-life dogs are still highly intelligent and it's still not cannibalism no matter the amount of mental gymnastics you want to perform. In real-life, it's morally acceptable to eat some animals and unacceptable to eat others, and the same can most likely be applied to the Pokémon world.

Back in gens 1-2 when the Pokémon world wasn't even established as a fantasy setting.

Kanto was just a japanese region but alternate timeline.

They retcon real animals with Pokémon equivalents when they're introduced.

They removed the existence of Guyana from Mew's lore.

And the dex giving them animal related names are only descriptive for the player, so out of the universe.

Okay, tell those Ghost Type twats to stop eating humans via their lifeforce, spirit, soul, etc. then, because it's completely immoral and basically cannibalism. They have literally no excuse because the game itself insists there is no such thing as an inherently evil Pokemon, only Pokemon who are influenced to do evil by evil humans. Even Pecharunt is just trying to please its dead adoptive grandparents who gave it the idea to be a greedy cunt, and species like Necrozma and Eternatus literally can't help their existences because they were born that way, and it's either "get killed lol" or suffer immensely for something that is no fault of their own.

Being able to understand human language and obey highly precise orders in battle and outside = complex interactions.
Not even the best trained dogs in real life (that most people would consider immoral to eat) can achieve the same level of interactions as pokemon can.

Eating Pokemon is kind of dodgy topic but definitively it's mentioned here and there, but mostly it's implied that some Pokemon can conveniently just drop and regrow parts of their bodies, like Crabrawler or Slowpoke.

Legends Z-A proves Litwick is a lifeforce eater with a sidequest where a boy thinks his sister is going to get killed by a Litwick because he knows about the fact it sucks the lifeforce out of things, only for it to turn out she was willingly giving the Litwick her lifeforce so it can be healthy.
Therefore, it's safe to assume all the other Pokedex entries about Ghost Types feasting on spiritual aspects is true, too, but they very deliberately frame it in a dangerous way, which is also in line with how some wild Pokemon interact with you in that game (aggressively attacking you until you black out, if Pokemon had a game over state you'd be dead right then and there if we're being honest).

Neither the player character nor any of their friends are never grievously injured, therefore you have no reason to visit a hospital for humans.
Pokemon hospitals aren't relevant to your journey either, even with the prospect of a terminally ill mon, because the story establishes that Arven's Mabosstiff is beyond traditional cures and MUST rely on Herba Mystica, therefore, you have no reason to see or visit a Pokemon hospital.
Also, does Paldea have a housing problem based on your "I don't see it, therefore it doesn't exist" criteria? Because as I said, the player character and Nemona are the only people in Paldea who actually have houses with interiors you can visit.

But the regular animal is still connected to Pyroar because the regular animal is a creation of God, just like Pyroar. Therefore, he's still eating "family" in a sense.
He'd also still be eating "family" if he went vegan, as vegetarian options are of God's creation too, and many plant-based lifeforms are living creatures, which is why a lot of Grass Type Pokemon are just sapient flowers and shit.

With the idea that in the Pokémon world that humans eat Pokémon, as in much the same manner that how in real-life humans eat animals, and being seen as not unambiguously wrong. It's just one of the many contradictions in canon, and unfortunately for this franchise, there's plenty of those. It's mostly the result of several aspects relating to Pokémon being a huge several decades-long multimedia franchise.

Here is a general idea on how to handle such contradictions. Just two main questions. First question, does the thing contradict more important parts of the franchise and/or the themes/morals of the franchise? If yes, then second question, are the most likely reasons for that being the case good reasons? Then, if no to the second, it's best to treat it as not canon.

Humans eating Pokémon goes against the general ideas of the franchise, and is mostly brought up at all in the series for stupid reasons. So it doesn't deserve to be treated seriously. Like with some of the food that's meat being shown in Camp in gen 8 and Picnics in gen 9, they just didn't want to bother to remember not including meat for every new food they made for that new game mechanic. Another thing being Pokédex Entries, which even beyond this have many issues with them. You'll notice that the idea of humans eating Pokémon is being brought up less and less as the franchise goes on. Whereas, conversely, as the franchise goes on, Pokémon are shown more and more with human-level cognition at minimum, all Pokémon. The bond between humans and Pokémon is a major part of the franchise.

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_predation#Humans_eating_Pok%C3%A9mon

Conversely, the idea of humans eating Pokémon by-products and other stuff produced by Pokémon is another matter, that idea doesn't face the same issues which killing Pokémon to eat them does.

Or maybe, we can all just accept that Pokemon is a franchise with dogshit worldbuilding that can't remain consistent for even five seconds, and constantly changes its rules on a per-media basis to suit whatever the writer of a particular scene needs in that exact moment and exact time, with little to no regard for the bigger picture, because only turbo autists will care long enough to notice the contradictions and inconsistencies, and when they point them out, everyone will point and laugh at the loser autist for getting so worked up over a children's game, since, as we know, children's media doesn't actually need to be of good, strong, logical quality, it just needs to shut the brats up long enough for mommy to get another swig of beer.

The anime also had this episode about a cat breeder

So dog/cat/bird/fish etc. are just words used to categorize Pokemon with similar characteristics, much like how we use those words for animals in the real world.

You're unironically going "muh feelings" at me. Funny. You fail the counter how I said the concept goes against the franchisee's own feelings, and major ones at that. The whole idea of the bond between humans and Pokémon is a much more major aspect of the franchise than whenever they couldn't be bothered to not mention humans eating meat from and moments can't be bothered to care how much it doesn't make sense for the franchise.

Pokémon is huge franchise with contradictions and retcons. It's stupid to say everything should be taken totally serious as canon. Have some basic media literacy.

If dex entries were canon all civilization would have been wiped out long ago. Entire maps have to be redrawn after one singular ttar gets angry, and that isn't among the 100 most insane examples

You can accept the world as it is presented to you as canon, or you can accept the dex as canon, but the two are blatantly incompatible with each other

I'm loling at your lack of self awareness. No, pointing to evidence in Pokemon media is not "muh feelings". Arguing that it feels wrong therefore the media is lying is "muh feelings".

So one of the arguments against eating Pokemon is that they're more intelligent than regular animals and can understand humans. But we have several dex entries that points to the opposite like Lapras

I think eating Pokemon is actually quite fine to me. Would it have been an issue for me as a kid or if I was an autistic sensitive adult, sure. But I’m open to the idea of the world becoming more realistic. If the series wants to go back to its naturalistic roots, it’d be fine with me. As long as they sourced the Pokemon ethically. Still, you have autists like >>58495822 who have Pokemon as their comfort series so it’ll never be anything but vague.
