Has anyone else wondered where the main characters in the pokemon anime get their food? i remember seeing ash eat "hamburgers" in an episode "omelettes" in another and i think spaghetti too. where do they get their food do they eat pokemon? or are pokemon just irregular animals???

Maybe they are all vegetarian.

Like mentioned before, we don't watch every single aspect of their lives.

I think they're all vegetarian replacements, like at the grocery store you can get artificial egg or veggie burgers.

Everything is made from Miltank EVERYTHING 0.0

I agree with Yoshi. Some episodes (and movies) do include them eating food, but it isn't showed much because watching people eating isn't very entertaining (all it does is make you hungry).

It is weird isn't it!

Hmm . . . I could go for a Combusken sandwich. :3

Maybe they ("they" being farmers) breed miltanks specifically made for food. They (this time being 4Kids) don't show it because... well... they don't want to show innocent miltanks being killed for food!

Wait, would fire and rock types also drink water, I mean they should get thirsty. or do the fire types drink like hot sauce or whatever.

THEY EAT MILTANK BURGERZ!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! But seriously, Pokemon do get eaten. Ekans' apperently eat Pidget eggs. And there was that episode with Prof. Oak, talking about eating Gary's Krabby. O_O

Krabby/Kingler: Seafood
Miltank: Hamburgers, and dairy products
Tauros: Steak
Shaymin: Salad
etc.

I do recall them eating rice balls in the anime though, obviously they make crops and such, like us.(that, or considering how futuristic Pokemon is(well, 1969 - 1972 + super advanced technology)they might have things that make their specific food for them, without harming Pokemon.)

Hm.

Well, they have to get their produce somewhere. Either "real" animals (animals like our own, normal cows and stuff, etc.) are farmed and hunted, or Pokemon are cultivated and caught for food. It's been established that Pokemon sport game is illegal, right?

Rice cakes. Brock's speciallity.

I think Pokabu is all pork products now.

That dog is a real dog.No Pokemon look even closer to that.

yes, I know it just an ordinary dog, but I could have sworn the poster was from an era much earlier than Sinnoh?? I don't remember where online I saw the poster now...

It was from Sinnoh.Let me check again.
*Checks*
Yes.There's been some real world animals in the show: fish, a worm, and I believe the Gastly in the Ghost of Maiden's Peak transformed into a giant mongoose at some point. Then there's the references in the pokemon descriptions and so on.

That's what I found.

^Thanks Ningamer ^_^

That's Zangooses pre-evo they've been trying hard to get the right desghn for years.

^LOL.Although I hope Zangoose gets an pre-evolution.

^But wouldn't it be cool if Zangoose gets one?

There have been many references to real animals(2-4 times,if I remember correctly) in Rise of Darkrai.

Please be a little more on-topic or I will close this thread.

slowpoke can be eaten therefore pokemon can be eaten.
the end.

Yes English version.I only remember the Ash one-When Galade came and tells the gang to follow him.Then while climbing down the stairs he said this to Brock(I think).

Well, in the game there is this myth were there was a guy killing Pokémon for food. Then Giratina came and said "Stop. This is wrong. And don't kill me or others. OR ELSE." The dude stopped killing Pokémon and Giratina left. It was the best story never told.

Mystery solved.
