Gamers always joke about how funny it would be if the civilians of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh ate Pokemon for their nutritional needs. Well let me enlighten you: there is no “if.” Humans devour the crap out of Pokemon.

The first direct reference to a Pokemeal came out of Gold and Silver. When you first encounter Team Rocket, they are attempting to steal a bunch of Slowpoke from a Slowpoke well, all in hopes to snag some precious SlowpokeTail.

Now, you didn’t think they were slicing off the tails of Slowpoke for fun, right? Hell no. There is a demand for dead Slowpoke, and it’s not to showcase them in a museum or for them to become stuffed toys. It’s because they’re ****ing delicious.

See, SlowpokeTail is considered a delicacy in Johto. Therefore, if Slowpoke is a delicacy, then there are other Pokemon that are considered everyday fodder. And you thought it sucked to be a Miltank five seconds ago? Even before that, the Red & Blue Pokedex describes Farfetch’d as an endangered species due to how great he tastes with some gravy and stuffing.

The games aren’t the only ones to reference the possibility of Psyduck Confit or Magikarp Rolls: the anime show is filled with images of meat, fish, and dairy. It’s never clarified where all this food comes from, but since the only animals ever seen are Pokemon, it’s not that hard to guess their origins. Come on, don’t act like this doesn’t look mouth-watering:

Spicy chicken, anyone? But it’s not like Pokemon are necessarily immune to eating each other. After all, does Aerodactyl look like he’s going to be eating a salad for dinner tonight?

I would eat them all and see what happens.
