to be fair, they were imagining that while they were stranded at sea and staring at james' magikarp

If you lived in the Pokemon world, would you eat Pokemon?

how long before some Hitchhikers guide shit where the meat wants to be eaten
That's disappointing, I guess I could throw some syrup on there and turn it into a snow cone.
Didn't the anime have a scene or something like "Farfetch is almost extinct because people can't stop eating it"?
Edit: It did! I knew my memory wasn't failing me. Here's the full quote: "Farfetch'd, a Wild Duck Pokémon. Farfetch'd makes a delicious meal, especially when cooked with leek. Because of this, Farfetch'd is nearly extinct." from Episode 49

I mean.
I wouldn't hunt them, or butcher them, much like I don't the normal animals here. But if an industry exists where Pokemon meat is available, I wouldn't necessarily turn my nose up at it.
Even here, in some parts of the world people eat dogs - the closest thing we have to an "intelligent companion creature" (besides cats). And some people keep a lot of the otherwise edible or harvestable animals as pets - horses, turtles, rabbits, lizards, ostriches, etc., and they love them and train them. You wouldn't catch me dead eating horse meat, for instance (even though it's sold around here), but aside from how hard or expensive they are to get the other kinds of meat I'm open to trying - I just have no particular attachment to those species of animals. If I were living in the Pokeverse, saw some Pokemeat on sale, and the Pokemon in question wasn't particularly appealing to me, I wouldn't think much of it either.

When they have tear ducts used for social cues similar to people im not messing with that. Been conditioned for decades to think of them more like weird little people.
Yes, the creature's intelligence does not factor into me biting it or not. I respect them all equally so they all go in my belly.
There's no chicken Pokemon that I can think of, and Tauros looks tough and gamey. I don't eat fish so none of them for me. Same with duck and other birds.
So probably not.
So probably not.
Although its final evolution isn't very chicken-like in appearance, isn't the Torchic line supposed to be chicken? Starter is a synonym for appetizer.
All of its evolutions are based on the Shamo chickens, which are a weird looking breed.
The first season had guns, that shit doesn't count anymore.
For the record, the anime takes place in a vegetarian society. The games just do whatever.
Yes. I mean, how many young children that get set out into the wilds don't come back? Figure there's gotta be a far bit, not all pokemon are nice, especially reading the 'dex. I especially like the swimming one that drinks all your blood after stabbing you.
GET THEM BEFORE THEY GET US.

There's a Pokemon that carries around its own seasoning, people in the world definitely eat them and there's no doubt they eat each other.
I probably wouldn't, though. They have language, that's taking things too far.

"Toxapex crawls along the ocean floor on its 12 legs. It leaves a trail of Corsola bits scattered in its wake."
Now I'm imagining every single blade of grass being an individual Pokemon and it's kinda terrifying
But it's nothing more than snow on top of an icicle. Not exactly what I would consider tasty lol
Here's a better question:
Why isn't humanity fucking dead in a world where wildlife wields different levels of insane cataclysmic powers?
Everything this side of a Magicarp can destroy an armed unit.

I guess it's because pokemon are hippies. Tasty-looking hippies, I might add.
The seafood looking ones for sure.
But I'd be more concerned about what a fucking nuisance Pokemon would be on a day to day basis if we lived in that world. Sure we would have tamed Pokemon as pets or for work purposes, but there would still be massive amounts of Pokemon's that could be huge and burn down forests and cities just roaming around on their own.
