| While watching the Pokemon anime, it occurred to me that every animal ever featured on the show was a Pokemon. Yet I never saw anyone on the show eat one. Are they all vegetarian? 1. Given how intelligent and social Pokemon are, is it humane to eat them? 2. What are some Pokemon you absolutely wouldn't eat? 3. What are some Pokemon you WOULD eat? |
| Well, Slowpoke Tail is considered a delicacy. |
 |
| I would like one serving of pikachu fillet please. |

| Here are some Pokedex entries for you: Crabrawler: It punches so much, its pincers often come off from overuse, but they grow back quickly. What little meat they contain is rich and delicious. Slowpoke: Alolan home cooking involves drying Slowpoke tails and then simmering them into a salty stew. Clawitzer: Its right arm is packed with meat. When its pincer falls off, it's exported to be used as a cooking ingredient Based on those, I guess that the Pokemon meat comes from parts of the Pokemon that naturally come off. In that case, wouldn't it be acceptable to eat those? |
| Probably they do, though obviously since you didn't wanna scare the kids, they were not going to tell you |
| People in pokemon universe eat magikarp since fishermen are always catching them |

| Mmmm roast Psyduck. Could go for some Mareep chops too. I'll pass on the grilled Magicarp tho |
| I'll just leave this here: Looking like some good meat for some nigiri. |
 |
| I think they don't but I can't be so sure |
| I they eat less intelligent Pokemons magikarp. |
| 1.I think they will eat pokemon because the only animal except for pokemons that live in the pokemon world is this 2.The 1 pokemon i wont eat is Trubish 3.the pokemon i will most likely eat is weepinbell because it looks edible lol |
 |
| I'd rather not think about it. But maybe in Pokemon everyone is a Pescatarian, so only the fish Pokemon like Magikarp and Goldeen get eaten. I can live with that. |
| There was that one scene in the first season of the anime where Ash&crew eat a Magikarp |
 |
| Tbh this is a thread for the ages. I wouldn't eat most pokemon, they're too cute. Would eat Tauros though. |
╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭ |
| I would eat a Charmander because it looks like a baby dragon and the meat would be good because of the fire. |
    |
| Those miltank steaks and torchic nuggets are delicious <3 |

 |
| Looks like they eat some pokemon... or at least some parts of pokemon. I would totally be down to eat pokemon. Some of those little bitches look delicious. |

They're just fun games with adorable critters, can't go wrong with that. |

| But what if you tried to eat porygon? |
 |
| here's the food chain: humans plant berries --> pokemons eat berries --> humans eat pokemons |

What are some Pokemon you WOULD eat? 1 i think it is as long as the pokemons aren't treated equally on terms with human and if they don't display much human characteristics but if so i think it would be a problem anyway i would never eat a pokemon consider how cute most of them are if pokemons are savage and don't seem to posess high iq like they are in the games/anime i think people will have a easier time come to realize that they are no different than animals 2 any pokemons that might give me poison or any pokemons that look disgusting or hard to eat ofc if they are edible 3 hmm i don't know, probably water type pokemons because most of them look clean or any fluffy pokemons |
| Why would they eat pokemon when they can eat But I remember there being scenes where they were eating some sort of meat, given that there are no animals other than pokemon in that world they most probably eat pokemon. |
 |
| Yes it's true. People in real life eat Magikarp, Sharpedo, Pidgey, and Miltank. Heck, some people eat Rattata, Ekans, and various forms of Scyther depending on the culture and/or economy. |

Even back then, something like a "pokemon game" I would have given to some neighbor girl as a present. Don't see another real use of it. The first Pokemon games are simple but fun turn-based "RPGs" (as RP as a japanese games gets - they're not role-playing games). I had no problem switching back and forth between Super Castelvania IV and Pokemon as a kid (^: They're also funnier games when others around you play them too, so they quickly invaded my school back then. But I think you're older than me. |

Vampires, skeletons, zombies, castles, etc were more fascinating for me than Marios, Zeldas, etc. and I wish I had SNES to play Super Castlevania IV, that system was bloody expansive as fuck (so, I've only enjoyed of what I had, which is stupid ass some Chinese (used) 8 bit "NES" knock-off, which later I've traded for half-broken ass with a cracked case "PC-DOS" to some "snobby rich neighbor girl", She was fascinated by Mario games, lol,) (my brother fixed it later on for me, scored!) Here is what I had. while all the rich normies were playing on this one. |

| @BallistikJuice >.> first time seeing that chinese knock-off. If you feel like emulating, I'd suggest SCIV and Super Metroid, both are great platformers. And if you're still into "scary" stuf... Super Ghouls n' Ghosts! (makes Castelvania games look easy tho) |
|
| We "finished" Super Ghouls n' Ghost one night with a friend thanks to the magic of save states. Probably one of the hardest games I played. Demon's Crest on the same platform is AWESOME. You play the red devil that is an enemy in Ghouls n' Ghosts! |

foscor70 said: I they eat less intelligent Pokemons magikarp. Magikarp may look unintelligent but it gets abused more than any other Pokemon. Behind its glassy eyes is the "all of mankind will pay" mentality that makes it snap and evolve into Gyarados BallistikJuice said: I haven't even played a single pokemon game in my entire life, don't see what's so special about them that makes them sell. Is it because it's Japanese?! I don't see any other real reason. During the time of GB/GBC, Pokemon was appealing because it was the only game you could carry around with you and play with friends using a team hand-picked from 150 creatures. Among those 150 creatures they had cute ones (Eevee,) cool ones (Scyther,) and funny ones (Koffing/Psyduck.) The games had a lot of positive exposure from a highly popular anime and trading card game. To top it off, it pissed people's parents off when they spent a lot of time on Pokemon. If your parents hated it you knew it was good. Currently, Pokemon is great because they expanded the story, graphics, and library of selectable Pokemon. There are people who say that RBY are the best, but they forget that they spent most of the game with a team that was basically a rock, a bird, a rat, etc. who mostly knew normal-type moves. In X/Y, you can make it to the second gym with a dragon, a ghost, A WILD EEVEE, and a cool bug. Virtually every type is represented right off the bat so you don't have to be constrained by artificial scarcity. There's also the fact that it's such an ideal candidate for Nintendo's online features. Bobby2Hands said: konkelo said: But what if you tried to eat porygon?

| Why eat pokemons? They're too adorable. Just eat humans, they reproduce fast anyway. |
 |
| I have always thought about this, wasn't one of Ash's companions a chef or cook? I always thought that he would have cooked up Pikachu maybe in a self Picachu cooker, (The Picachu's own electric energy actually will cook the Picachu), or that maybe Team Rocket would catch and sell Picachu to a gourmet lover of Pokemon meat. |
| I think people do eat some pokemon. I would eat magikarp since its a fish and I kinda like seafood. |
 |
| i mean theyre letting them beat the shit out of each other i dont see how thats more humane than eating them |
| didnt they eat a magikarp before? lol |

| To me, pokemon feels like dogs and cats... |
| Pokemon are like astral beings who will bless a planet with their incredibly cute existence, so it's safe to say that eating them isn't on the agenda. |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
| pokemon are eaten, but that's not really the worst part they are enslaved, forced to fight, eventually manipulated to think they love their unfair conditions actually, they are treated much like real life animals owning pets is slavery we just don't make them fight, usually |
| I never noticed any normal animals there so they must eat pokemon for meat. |
バンの一味 |
| Yes, humans eat pokemons. The fisher that sells a Magikarp, the Magikarp eaten. The manga is more colorful in the aspect of realism. I suggest you read that. Also, humans supposedly are pokemons, or something. It's about the 4G's lore, if I remember. |
 |
| Looks like my thinking same as yours lol.. sometimes i also wonder if theres real animal in pokemon world.. |
