has anyone else noticed in the anime and on some cards, there are some animals that are shown, like in the 'bugcatching contest' episode, jessie was holding a goldfish in a bag. or when chicken or hamburgers are mentioned, i wonder where the meat comes from, pokemon, or some other species that are like animals.

I think there is Pokemon are diffrent from animals. They may look like them, but they aren't. They just live in the regions they live in, and that's all for now!

I wonder if people eat Pokemon. ^^ I can see them drinking Miltank milk, but that's about it.
*cannot imagine a Miltank burger, lol*

People do eat Pokemon, remember. (EW- I don't understand how you can love a certain pet animal, and then eat the same species)
Remember Farfetch'd? He's considered a delicasy...(sp*)
But one time (before Miltank, first season) Ash dressed up as a cow-cow. So I assume normal 'real' animals exist too.
Also, where do the names come from? "The Mouse pokemon" "The Fox pokemon", a mouse or a fox have to exist to be a kind of pokemon to. Otherwise rattata would be called a mouse, not a Ratatta.
!! Oh! And, in "The Sensational Cerulean Sisters" we see a huge fish tank, and there are non-pokemon fish in them. Hm, thats all I can think of right now, here's my two cents n.n

That's what I thought. Since real animals do exist and the other countries exist too.(Mew's DNA was in South America after all. :P)
South America is a Continent... Brasil is the country where they found the DNA if I'm right they said It was in the Amazon

I think that there are other animals than pokemon. What makes the pokemon different is that according to my manga, "Due to similarities in genetic and cellular structure, they must be considered a single species." This would probably explain why pokemon can be put into pokeballs and why normal animals can not. (Although that doesn't explain that riceball in the primape episode.)

Pokemon also differ by animals because totally different Pokemon, like Quagsire and Rapidash, can crossbreed.

The way I see it, Pokemon are only found in this one big continent that is cut off by the rest of the world somehow. There may have been more regular animals living there at one time, but the superior Pokemon caused the regular animals to die off because the competition was too much. Humans, with their ability to craft Pokeballs and therefore capture and control Pokemon, were the only "higher" lifeform that survived this Pokemon invasion. Most regular animals are probably myths to humans in the Pokemon world.

I think its muskat...and muskat is a kind of fruit, cause at the local comic shop they have japanese imported snacks, and I read it as muskrat to (after seeing the tomato flavored bubble gum--can you blame me!?)
Also, I'd like to note again that in the Sensational Cerulean Sisters, or w/e, remember the fish tank under the gym, all those fish that weren't pokemon.
And I love refering to the magical rice ball that can go into a pokeball! mwahaha!
I wanna try one of those in real life, they keep calling'm donuts though o.o

There HAS to be regular animals in the Pokmon world, if not vertebrates, then insects and whatnot. An ecosystem couldn't function on just Pokmon. There's probably domesticated animals (pokmon are probably too valuable to be a staple source of meat...delicacies at best) and fish (compare all the types of water Pokmon with the incredible diversity of the ocean...), but maybe not too many wild animals left. The competition with Pokmon would be pretty harsh.

There are animals in the Pokemon regions, I just think you don't see them much because they're irrelevant to the storyline. But I find eating a Pokemon repulsive, so there better be enough animals. X_X

I saw some fish in one of the episodes in Master Quest I believe. I saw some birds before in one episode. I believe I saw real animals in Pokemon 2000.
