What do people in the Pokemon world eat?

I know not everyone in the pokemon world can be vegetarians. So if every animal in the Pokemon world in a Pokemon do people eat pokemon? If not what do they eat to add some protein to their diet?

There are real animals in the Pokemon world. I've seen at least 3 examples. I've seen fish (not fish Pokemon) in the tanks in the Cerulean City Gym, there was a dog on one of the episodes that Ash and co. went to a festival, and Gastly summoned a mongoose on the "Ghost of Maiden's Peak" episode. There's also an episode where Ash appears in a cow - not Miltank - costume. However, why we don't see many of these "real" animals beats me.

I don't see why not. It's fairly common knowledge that Farfetch'd has been hunted close to extinction, so I can easily fathom seeing people eat other pokemon.

I wonder what dragonite meat tastes like. :]

And you don't really see the characters in Pokemon talking about eating them or anything. =/

Actually, there was an episode where Team Rocket were talking about eating Magikarp. However, it turned out to be just scale and bone.

Might has well throw this in...

Not sure what the based-in-America pokemon will have, but I would certainly enjoy seeing plenty of WacArnolds and waffle houses.

Also funny how there's an overabundance of drinks and berries to feed pokemon, but no meat based foods. Would be terrible to feed beef to a Miltank.

better taste amazing after lvling it to 55 lol

In some episode u see Brock cooking to Ash and Misty, then they eat meet.At a couple of days, i have that question on my head.

I've heard Magikarp is pretty good! :D

I would assume that pokemon take on the role of animals in our world. I guess its kind of sadder for them though, as pokemon are considered pets no matter what species they are. In our world, we pretty much have a distinct difference between food and pets

People use Pokemon as a food source (Miltank for beef, regional birds for poultry, etc.) in the same way as people in the real world use other animals as food sources, though most Pokemon are still treated as pets.

I remember Team Rocket trying to eat a Magikarp... Does that count?

I agree wiht real animals in the pokemon world. i thing eating pokemon is just plain wrong.

I'd so eat an Arceus baked with cheese.
