Seriously, it makes no sense! Pokemon have LITERALLY been established to be eaten ever since Generation 1, and Pokemon are still eaten in-universe to this very day. New food-themed Pokemon are made ALL THE TIME, and the eating hasn't stopped.
Know what the worst part is?
YOU CAN'T EVEN QUESTION THEM!
They get all angry and pissed off, and they refuse to answer the question. "People will find a way to ruin it, and you don't need to know how!" they say, as if literally ANY conversation can't be ruined.
Pokemon is a dark franchise that is LITERALLY about animal abuse and child gambling, and it's full of innapropriate themes. Despite popular belief, Pokemon is NOT an innocent franchise at all!
Why can't we talk about eating Pokemon if it CANONICALLY HAPPENS all the time?! Why the fuck can't we even question them?!
Humans are weird.
Some cultures can't even think of eating cats and dogs - horses and donkeys. Because "they are family".
It is the same with imaginary digital friends.
I'm talking entirely out of my ass right now... But I get this weird feeling that there's some kind of precedent... And it involves either vore or cannibalism (or both?)
