Let us examine shall we, the pokemon universe; more specifically the interaction between pokemon and the humans within that world. It can be observed that all wild life within the “poke-verse” consists of pokemon, varying species of self-aware semi-communicative beings. It can also be observed that the human inhabitants have the ability to commune with the creatures in a relatively understood manner. This allows us to conclude that trainer and pokemon interact in a realm higher than that of standard owner and pet. Now on to the good part!
It can now be understood that the humans and pokemon must both eat at some point in the day to survive. Considering the world is based vaguely off of the diet of Japanese citizens, such as rice, vegetables, some bread, and meat. Now where does meat come from? Animals, creatures, wild life…. Pokemon…oh the horror; pikachu, pidgy and clefairy slaughtered in mass for the sake of nutrition. Could these “trainers” morally go along with such practices as murdering their own sought after pokemon? What about pokemon that help with the house keeping, or gardening/farming? Are they free for the slaughter when poke-verse citizens grow a need for meat consumption? Sure certain pokemon are evil little fuckers such as meowth that may deserve sweet sweet silence, and sure some consist of inedible substances such as geodude or porygon (what the fuck is it made out of?). However it caonnot be denied that most pokemon are edible. Where are their poke-rights?
Now let us realize the options we can attempt to accept. The trainers could eat their pokemon, breeding specific types and classes for training and others for sustenance. A verse with veritable ivysaur and jigglypuff farms where they will be fattened up for the butchers’ knife. Oh the inhumanity. Would pokemon actually be kept in pokeballs for a quick on the go snack? Could caterpee be consumed like “go-gurt?” One (such as myself) could wonder what does charmander taste like? Spicy? The possiblities!
However there is a second option! Which I find to be highly likely. The poke-verse is actually the future vegetarian utopia that the world could soon become. Pokemon and humans living together in harmony, eating entirely soy based products. I will let you contemplate this subject because this blog has gone on far too long. Create your own future history for the poke-verse. Does P.E.T.A. take over the world and create self-aware animals to guilt trip all meat eaters that they begin to call Pokemon? This inquiry I leave to you.
Its all just rantings of an inexperienced blogger… O.o

Perhaps all animals that aren't pokemon have been isolated to food processing mills around the world where the animals don't live, but simply exist until the time comes in their genetically sped up life to become product.
From Wikipedia: "The story behind Farfetch'd is that of the legend of a duck, who fetches a green onion for a person, only to bring it back to be cooked with the leek himself. The Japanese name is a further play on this; "Kamonegi" is a portmanteau of 鴨 kamo (wild duck, but can also mean a gullible person) and 葱 negi. In fact, this occurs in the Pokémon world as well.
But I heard Celebi if cooked wrong can make you sterile.
Then I realised that it simply isn't feasible unless you eat magikarp or some other defenseless pokemon. Imagine having to defeat hundreds of tauros everyday.
Then theres the other thing of attacks and how they affect the food. Would a steel wing attack before death leave the wings as steel?
That said, I often wonder what a bulbasaur caesar salad would taste like
Wait, what?
